To think it was obvious they were for the kids??

[Birump]

DS is having a little play date today, low key birthday “party” but DS doesn’t really do parties so it’s more of a gloried play date.
Yesterday I did some baking … 8 sausage rolls, 8 scotch eggs, 8 jam slags and 8 chocolate brownies.

Came down this morning and most of it is gone, I text DH asking if he’d touched the baking and he said yes, he’d taken it for work.

im fuming, isn’t it fucking obvious that they were for the kids for today?? He’s insisting that it was not obvious. This is not the first time he’s done something like this.

Might I suggest ironic punishment?

Make a load of yummy goodies that dick of a husband won't be able to resist.

BUT

Fill them with scotch bonnet chillis or laxatives or whatever vile unwholesome concoction you can think of. He'll think twice then. You could also try hiding the goodies, but your husband is doing this deliberately and will hunt them down.

Mum reckons he's jealous but that only demonstrates what a tool he is.

Came for the drama, stayed for the jam slag.

Or phone his boss asking for the return of stolen goodies.

It may not get you the goodies but he will be humiliated.

I'd be furious.

How did the party go? What did you serve?

Your DH is being very unreasonable.

I want to try this delicious hilariously named treat.

He wouldn't be "carting sausage rolls backwards and forwards." He would just be doing the one trip to bring them back for his kid's birthday. How did it go?

And why?

Jam whores. They cost more.

Could be worse. Plenty of threads where DH has had a couple of tarts and op isn’t talking party food.

Can you cut the sausage rolls in half and have a plate of minis to share?

Sorry, I don't have any views on whether the Knave of Hearts stole your tarts - I'd just ask - but this:

"jam slags - like jam tarts but bigger with jam balls on top"

and then:

"jam balls are pastry balls with jam on top"

is hands down the best thing I have ever read on Mumsnet. I am crying with laughter.

And btw I'm sure you can work this out OP. He couldn't resist your baking is all. Unless you really do hate each other.

He took the majority of it, so more than 4 sausage rolls, more than 4 scotch eggs and more than four each of the brownies and lastly the jam fahkin' slaaaaags!!!
For work? At the most if he truly believed they were for sharing he could have taken one of each, at a push. Even then he should've asked.
I'd be absolutely seething.
It's not like him buying a load of shite from a shop would be a suitable substitute.
But maybe the only way to get retribution is make him replace it all from a really posh bakery (get a receipt for proof it's not lidls) out of his own money.

I would so like to see a photo of a Jam Slag. I can't find one on the internet.

Presumably it's because they are bigger, more jammy, and thus sluttier than the tarts 😂

Are these Jam Slags?

They look like thumbprint biscuits.

Ooh like a spicy slag- too hot to handle!

Has he done this on purpose because who eats all of that for lunch at work

Not RTFT, is jam slags a play on the word “tart”? Are there also people calling them jam trollopes and what not? 😂 this is brilliant

F

He deserves a suspended sentence.

... At the end of a rope.

Strawberry or raspberry jam though?

He took so much because he wanted to play the BIG GUY at work and get praise for handing out goodies.
Selfish
Did it on purpose
Took it from his CHILD
lying that he didn't know it was for Child's birthday.

No, these are called "jam drops", in my biscuit recipe book.

Greedy, selfish dickhead.

What kind of person takes food away from their own child and tries to purposefully spoil their child's birthday? It's so telling that his first response when you messaged him wasn't an immediate apology and being mortified. He was defensive and made it your fault. What a gaslighting moron.

He is an absolutely shit dad. You and your DS deserve better.
