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.

Indeed. But any adult who literally takes food from their own child's mouth is disgusting. If there is only enough money for fruit for the children, only the children eat fruit.

Mines the same 😡 so many times has taken to work or eaten while alone the food I've left for the children for the next day! So i understand you completely! Not a single thought in the head! Cause you'll make or buy more. Selfish men!

😂🤣😂

Must be a man thing.

My usually considerate ds13 asked if he could have ‘a bit of chicken out of the fridge’ last night.

I said yes. An hour later I went to make myself some supper, the greedy so and so took two full packets of sliced chicken breast out of the fridge and ate the lot!!

Never mind the cost, it was meant for lunches for the week as a treat.

May add this was 2 hours after he had a huge tea!!! 🐷

That reminds me of a thread a few years ago, where a woman had prepared the following night's dinner, for four people, and had left it to cool in the kitchen. Her husband, having already had his dinner earlier, came home and ate the lot. Naturally she was furious. When he got home the next day and asked what was for dinner, she told him 'What you ate late night'.

I remember that. And the husband was really miffed. If you’re not the person with responsibility for shopping and cooking, then it’s completely unreasonable to think you can have free rein over the fridge and still expect a meal on the table when you get home. And it’s not a control issue, just a courtesy one.

No not specifically for him, theres others in our house!
I bake all the time, sometimes on my own, sometimes with my family, just depends who’s around, my grandchildren always ask to make cakes which they do and take them home with them, they always leave something for granfer though

What a greedy fat bastard!

I'm assuming he is giving them to his colleagues and not eating them all. This prompts the question, have you ever cooked for his colleagues before? Why the hell would you?

Why does he need 8 scotch eggs for lunch? He obviously knew it was for the party. Tell him to bring it all back or buy replacements. Also, what are jam slags?

What other nasty stuff does you husband do like this?
it’s sabotage, it’s attention seeking, it disrespectful…
and I bet you he says, “you’re over-reacting over some sausage rolls. You can buy more in Asda.”
or
”the party still went ahead, and everyone had a good time, didn’t they? So what’s the problem?”

Please read threads before posting. The party was last weekend, and we’ve already had 26 pages of jam slags fun.

He sounds like a greedy pig of a man who is worthless. Get rid.

Lol on all the comments about what's a jam slag
I was wondering this myself until I made the connection between slag being another name for a tart. You are not being unreasonable but he is
Hope that he replaced the party food in some way in time for the party.

It doesn't matter whether it was obvious it was for the kid's party or not-no one touches food in my house except the person planning ,shopping and cooking the food-that being me. If DH couldn't resist he would have to ask. I am not going to take the whole burden of providing meals without being in control of the whole kitchen-end of story.

Reminds me of when I had 12 by over for a party, I cooked 24 chicken goujons plus chips. I had these laid out for them on paper plates. DHs dinner was cooked, but as he came in the door he grabbed 4 goujons from the plates and ate them before I knew it 😡 - I had to reassemble the food.
what is it with men that is so inconsiderate with food?

Oooh I’m gonna call them Jam
slags from now! 😂

It let's your husband off to blame his sex. It is outrageous behaviour. I am sure most men would be very happy with their dinner being made for them as a ids party being catered to on top!

Sorry but that is a really shitty thing of your husband to do. I would be super hurt and upset that he didn’t either think it was obvious they were for the party, or at least didn’t even bother to ask. I think most of Mumsnet agrees with this sentiment so you can officially tell him what an utter dick he is!!

As a man , I think,, let me know if that's allowed ,, that he might have thought , " I cant make it , so I'll take my share of the party treats to work and celebrate in spirit

Or , and this will be controversial, he thought , sausage rolls for my kids ; NO WAY

I'll take them and she'll be forced to order delicious Domino's Pizza ...

If that is how men "think" there's no hope for the world.

Selfish to the core.

Kick the pig out of your life ,Lady,these self entitled pigs ,called men??,are just little boys .move on sister.Oh I am a SE LONDON,MAN,who raised with his partner a Son and Daughter, and moved out of that hell hole to the sea on /near Maldon Essex.So, our children would never have to live the life we both hated! Move om!

What are jam slags 😂
