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'm sorry you married such a thoughtless selfish cunt. But it's never too late to get divorced. What a prick

Absolutely.

Therealjudgejudy · 01/06/2024 10:40

What a greedy selfish wanker.

This is not something you put up with

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.

He’d either be bringing them back or not coming back if I were you OP. He’s busy? Just like you were busy preparing for a little party yesterday. The thing is if you don’t stand your ground now he’s going to think he can walk all over you in future and help himself to whatever he fancies. It’s entitled and greedy behaviour and he’s showing you he doesn’t give a fuck what you think by refusing to bring them back. He never took a little bit he snaffled the lot which is worse. What an utter cunt.

Im going against the grain here and going to say that, you should have made more or enough for your DH if you knew that he enjoys your baking. A little thoughtfulness goes a long way and now you're angsting over the baking for the party. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does "going against the grain" mean "being a contrary arse for the sake of it"?
I see this a lot on here and it nearly always amounts to this.

If he's done such things before you should have told him not to touch them.

Oh of course - it’s her fault. 🙄🙄🙄

Ihaveamagicwand · 01/06/2024 10:49

I’d be informing him I would not be baking for him to take into work again. He can buy Mr Kipling!

Hankunamatata · 01/06/2024 10:22

Surely you said to him yesterday. I'm baking food for dc party.

From OP's second post "plus I was speaking to him last night and he asked if I was buying party snacks for today and I said “no, I’m baking for it instead” so it was obvious!!"

SomethingFun · 01/06/2024 10:50

What a horrible prick. I hope your dc has a lovely birthday play date/ party, at least his knob of a father is at work so can’t spoil the whole day.

I really fancy a homemade jam tart now 😁

Incakewetrust · 01/06/2024 10:51

I actually want to punch him on your behalf! What a selfish bastard!!

Also, laughing at jam slags 😂

SlashBeef · 01/06/2024 10:53

Love 'jam slags' 😅 it's like my dad's 'cajun dirty rice' which has morphed into 'filthy depraved wretched rice'.

TheLadyOfTheFlowers · 01/06/2024 10:53

Please post a Jam Slag photo @Birump , not sure what pictures I will be faced with if I google...

Wheredidileavemycarkeys · 01/06/2024 10:55

I don’t suppose there’s any chance you could phone up his boss and explain he’s taken all the food for his kids party and he needs to bring it back? 🤔

Good grief, who in their right mind would do this.

Why didn’t he ask you first? I’d be fuming and quite frankly it’s a LTB if this is a regular occurrence (him being a selfish twat)

Itiswhysofew · 01/06/2024 11:03

He’s 100% done it on purpose. Wow! Truly unbelievable behaviour towards you and the birthday boy.

I’ll do anything for a pot of Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserve

I am the Jam Slag …

Oh I had to throw away an almost full pot of the wild strawberry Bonne Maman conserve a couple of days ago. It had somehow been forgotten about at the back of the fridge and actually had mould growing in it! 🤢 In my defence, of being a jammy slag, I can say this would never happen to a jar of the black cherry 🐷🐷

Tunefultwix · 01/06/2024 11:05

Is his work close enough for you to go and get them? You definitely shouldn't have to, but at least it would show him he can't behave like this.

Ludicrous post. You seem to be implying that OP is at fault for putting her son first on his birthday and not anticipating that his utterly selfish father would want some home baking as well. Get a grip. The little boy comes first today, not the overgrown toddler.

I would definitely do this, because I wouldn't stand for such behaviour.

Noshowlomo · 01/06/2024 11:06

That would be the last jam slag he’d ever have from me.
Tell him he’s a single slag now!

2catsandhappy · 01/06/2024 11:07

100% sabotage. A deliberate spiteful act.

Is he bitter that he is working on a Saturday or missing a small celebration?
Now you have had time to think, has he intentionaly tried to spoil other people's fun before @Birump ?
We can all see through his faux 'oh I didn't know' act. I hope he chokes on his son's stolen pastries.

redfacebigdisgrace · 01/06/2024 11:11

This makes me rage on your behalf. It’s the love and thought that’s gone into baking these little treats for your son. What a selfish horrible man.

CurlewKate · 01/06/2024 11:11

@LostTheMarble "Why would she need to tell him that? How uninvolved is he in family life that he doesn’t know his son is having a party or that a large bake isn’t necessarily for him?"

I read "uninvolved" as "unevolved" and was nodding along in agreement!

Sue152 · 01/06/2024 11:13

Call him and tell him he's a greedy little jam slag. Of course they were for the kids.

StormingNorman · 01/06/2024 11:13

Birump · 01/06/2024 09:31

I do sometimes do a batch of baking but whenever I do I always say “there are some sausage rolls in the kitchen if you want to take some to work” … I don’t make jam slags etc though, imo they’re obviously for kids.

plus I was speaking to him last night and he asked if I was buying party snacks for today and I said “no, I’m baking for it instead” so it was obvious!!

(jam slags - like jam tarts but bigger with jam balls on top, my mum used to make them bless her)

I need a picture of a jam slag. I can’t get my head around the ball of jam on top 🤣
