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

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.

I can't handle even the thought of peach jam! (My phone autocorrected to Outreach Joan 😂)

😂 Thanks for the laugh!
FWIW I actually love raspberry jam. 😛

Oh clueless is he, even though she told him the night before she was baking for the party and I assume he knows it's his own son's fucking birthday.

But no, he must have been "la la la la la getting ready for my big important man job so all common sense has temporarily evaded me, ooh look sausage rolls, jam slags and other bits of classic children's party food! Must be for me and my man appetite and all my friends at work, I will not even shout "thankyou for the unexpected treats dear" upstairs before scooping the fucking lot and taking it to work."

Well said.

CheeseyOnionPie · 02/06/2024 23:38

OP how did the party go? What did he have to say for himself when he got home?
Also, are you putting the recipe for jam slags up or no?

Friendofdennis · 02/06/2024 23:51

You went to all that effort. Baking can be time consuming and fiddly. I would have been really annoyed at the sheer greed and presumption of the man

Just pointing out that being a dick is more of a description for some petty misdemeanour. This is way more than that and I think asshole is more appropriate.

T1Dmama · 03/06/2024 00:54

My ex was a knob about food… He’d help himself to food that clearly wasn’t his (like Easter eggs or DD’s Christmas stocking) but anything that was HIS was put up on top of the cupboards and he’d moan like hell if I took so much as a packet of cheddars for DD’s packed lunch!
I ised to have to label things in the end!!

T1Dmama · 03/06/2024 00:58

What did you end up doing?

Katbum · 03/06/2024 01:51

Omg. Your H is horrible. I’d be fuming at this

Shhh! Don't mention her lovely new patio!

grinandslothit · 03/06/2024 02:38

I don't know how many threads I've read on here where men have eaten things made for bbqs, weddings, parties. I believe they hate their families to do shite like that.

I need pictures of Jam Slags. I wonder if they are like these?

Birump · 01/06/2024 09:32

And no he’s refusing to bring them back saying he’s busy and can’t be carting sausage rolls backwards and forwards. He’s 100% done it on purpose.

I would have told him I'll collect them then, and leave him without lunch!

WitchyWay · 02/06/2024 07:46

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.

Plus, it isn't even the first time he has done this twat-waffle behavior, according to OP's first post.

Once would anger me to no end, but I would end up forgiving him. Doing it over and over? That is a "man" who has no respect for his family and feels that everything is his to do with as he wishes. I could not stay with someone like that.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 02/06/2024 15:10

I don't think OP is coming back

Man I HATE an unresolved thread. 😠

So do I. Vent, get sympathy, get support and then ghost the thread. REALLY bad form and it happens all the time on here.

Sometimes I wonder if some of the threads are true or not because I would feel you would see it through them through if they were. jmho

No they’re not. Stop it, women like you let men get away with their deliberate incompetence just because you believe their penis power makes them dunderheads with any household chore or event. They know exactly what they’re doing, they simply dont care.

Or worse, they actually want to pip you off !

Ukrainebaby23 · 03/06/2024 05:25

And can we have photos of jam slags please

Was just posting a reddit link and commenting this thread is now a reddit topic. 🤷‍♀️

eta: ahhh, the link had the "t" word in it. Might be why my post got hidden.

Re an OP ghosting a thread; perhaps an OP with a thrown off in a huff post which then surges to the outskirts of a low level MN national scandal - may be hiding from friends who might identify her and then search her posts and find the ones where she's posted in a rage about some other jam-slaggery.

As a man, I’m going to provide some defence for my kind.

He’s a clueless asshole but appreciate you all using dick as a reference as it is the main difference between us.

We can call him a twat if you prefer.

He had a conversation about OP's plan to bake treats for the child's playdate. Then he took most of the treats and (as far as we know) offered no remedy nor apology. What is to be defended exactly?

Retro12 · 03/06/2024 11:10

Greedy pig!

LookItsMeAgain · 03/06/2024 11:13

@Birump - I'm guessing that both the party has been had, and that your DH returned home, so what happened at the party and what did you do/say to your DH?

LalaPaloosa · 03/06/2024 13:18

What a fucking dickhead

Absolute fucking bastard

Not even funny this one bloody hell

This 👆🏻

I am so upset for you that I really don’t know what to say. What kind of person would do such a thing?

I would be done with him too.

StressedOutButProudMama · 03/06/2024 15:09

I'd insist he sends you some money for food to be ordered in. Seen as he took the food intended for party.
