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.

Sorry, but you're wrong. There are three types: strawberry, peach and raspberry. In that order.

I've made courgette and ginger jam and rosehip jam. I think my Mum once made grape jam.

One of my favourites is gooseberry jam.

Not the point of the thread!

"Thumb-print" cookies here. 🇨🇦

Sorry all, but though I love many varieties of jam, seedless blackberry jam is the bomb! Yum!😋😋

I love all the st Dalfour preserves. I don't usually like marmalade but the orange with ginger chunks in is to die for. Non of our local supermarkets sell it anymore. And I refuse to buy it in bulk off Amazon because we don't have it often enough and it won't all keep. (Sigh)

I'd be changing the locks while he's at work.

Selfish disgusting disrespectful man.

I couldn’t humiliate someone at their workplace like that. I think it is serious that he took the food but to go to these lengths? I wouldn’t.

Loving the jam beef

What a mean thing to do , to his own child, to his own wife. There is no excuse for such behaviour, none.

What a prick. I hope you find the courage and ability to leave him at one point. Living with someone, and sharing a bed with someone, who could do that without even an apology and attempt to make it better (drive it back or source replacements) must be more than frustrating ☹️

I hope your son has a good playdate/celebration regardless.

no that causes obesity

he's a greedy, selfish pig and i can honestly say for the first time in my life - ltb.
I seriously doubt it's your first.

Divorce over a few sausage rolls.

Now that's Peak Mumsnet. 😀😀'

It's not LTB over the sausage rolls.
It's not because of the cup by the dishwasher, and so on and so on, ad nauseum.
It's not even LTB because he has chosen to not just snaffle a sausage roll making the numbers a bit awkward, but take away, a good portion of the food that he knew was for a little boy's get together with friends on his birthday. Then upon being told, refused to return the food.

I don't know if you really cannot see what it is like to live with a 'special' person, who leaves you to pick up the cup, do the work all over again, and sort out their selfishness, or if you are a male apologist, dense or just being goady. I hope it's your lack of experience, as I wouldn't wish it on you.

Now a bunch of responders understanding or trying to help OP, that is classic Mumsnet.

What very strange things to take into work. It's not like seeing last night's leftovers in the fridge, or the bread in the bread bin, and helping himself. Unless you normally make batches of sausage rolls etc for him to take into work (and I can't imagine you would) then YANBU.

HappyGoLucky96 it was more than just a couple of sausage rolls!

Love this comment. Perfect.

This is the second post I have read over the last few days referring to Jam Slags.

Anyone fancy a marmalade slut?

i think the slags need bigger balls

@Blondeshavemorefun those look delicious do you have a link to the recipe? Also lol at nipple cakes

@Waffle78 I had no idea until I just googled that St Dalofour doesn't contain sugar and uses dates and stuff to add sweetness.
Morrisons own brand reduced sugar jams were fab but they've disappeared from my local store in favour of Bon Mamon reduced sugar .
Not nearly as nice.

@Birump your thread has been overwhelmed by jam tarts ( and is a tart so different linguistically from a slag ?) discussion and knee jerk reactions to your husband's behaviour.
Apologies and hope party went well and that harmony reigns chez Birump.

Some more baking with some ghost chilli in it for DH...

This is why Iove Mumsnet. Absolute perfection. 😂😂

OP - that was a really lousy thing for your husband to do.I hope he tried to put it right in time and that your little boy had a lovely birthday.

It's one thing to be a shitty husband but another on to be a shitty father. I would be telling him he is both.

OP I hope the party went well and you managed to get some replacement food.

it does seem odd that your husband stole the party food, wasn’t even attending g the party and expressed no concern about the impact of his selfish actions.

it sounds like an unhappy household for everyone.

what happened in the end?

I am furious on your behalf - if this is a pattern of behavior I would require him to undergo therapy and change otherwise it’s over. That is so inconsiderable and if it’s on purpose it’s just mean spirited. Hope the party went well op!
