AIBU?

AIBU -accidently locked family out 😳

26 replies

Rarity75 · 14/07/2016 19:14

Came home, found DP keys on the outside of the front door. Handed them to him.

Quick discussion, I would gather some money (day before pay day - had to raid piggy banks). Then pop to shop for essentials for tea. He would take DC's to park. Just got back, they have been locked out!

Apparently this is my fault for not 'checking' he had his keys. Just found his mobile in the kitchen also.

AIBU to have to check DP is capable of being an adult and taking the keys (which I had handed him!). He is pissed off with me and I'm not best impressed with him!!

Can't really understand this - he is annoyed with you because he forgot his keys? Having left them in the outside of the door?

Does he need a brain transplant?

ImperialBlether · 14/07/2016 19:22

He's angry with you?

Is he mad?

Rarity75 · 14/07/2016 19:29

Yes I think he is! He is now saying I did not expressly tell him I was going to the shop. Hmmm why else was I gathering money....

Also he had left his keys (after I had given them back to him) on the top shelf - approx 5ft 11" in the lounge.
I am 5' 6" and checked the key cupboard (yes we have one!) on my way out. I wouldn't have seen his keys as I AM TOO SHORT!!!

Seriously I give in, I have a man child.

Did he check that you had your keys!? Unlikely! Yanbu! He is a grown adult. If you weren't they would he have checked!? Probably - because he is an adult and responsible for his own actions!

Leaspr · 14/07/2016 19:32

If you weren't there*!

I don't understand how he was locked out if his keys were outside??

Rarity75 · 14/07/2016 19:37

Not helped by oldest dc needing a pee whilst at the park. He also moaned that it had been hard work (they had been out for an hour).
He is now resting whilst I cook tea for 4. After getting in from work at 6pm. What a tit.

Sigh my now ex fell out with me and didn't talk to me for over a week because HE forgot HIS keys and I was on a work evening out.

Yanbu

Rarity75 · 14/07/2016 19:38

I was at the shop and had locked the front door when I left as I assumed he had his key with him when he took the DC's to the park.

Therefore I locked his keys inside the house, with them already at the park.

Yea you have a manchild

Rarity75 · 14/07/2016 19:40

Amazing isnt it martha how we are suddenly their parent!

SpaceDinosaur · 14/07/2016 19:41

AWWW! Poor little princess forgot his keys and decided it was someone else's fault.

Piss off.

OP. He is an adult. He may not act like it but he is responsible for himself. You are not his mummy. I would tear a strip off him for that.

DeadGood · 14/07/2016 19:43

Er I think you need to have a patronising chat with him about what's going on. Lots of sidehead "I'm worried about you" action. Because he absolutely can't get away with this kind of shit.

Time for you to draw a line in the sand - this sort of behaviour would drive me up the wall.

Rarity75 · 14/07/2016 19:50

Oh believe me he won't get away with it. He used to do the whole "I've done your dishes" etc.

I did the same back to him, then 'forgot' to wash his underwear after he announced he couldn't work a washing machine. Seriously he had his own house and managed before me!

His first line of defence is blame someone else and it pisses me off!

Will try the patronising chat. Maybe I could suggest life management classes?

Next time he comes out of the bathroom ask if he managed to wipe his backside.

Tell him you're just checking.

Rarity75 · 14/07/2016 20:03

I might try that!!

Came home, found DP keys on the outside of the front door

I'm still confused! I know it's unimportant but you just said you locked his keys inside?! Humour me!!

Lorelei76 · 14/07/2016 20:16

OP you got your thread title wrong
You didn't lock anyone out
He did.

Mummyme1987 · 14/07/2016 20:18

He's a childman

rollonthesummer · 14/07/2016 20:19

Oh-I get it. He left them in the door. You came home, took them and gave them to him. He left the house, you left the house and locked up but he hadn't taken his keys!

TheNaze73 · 14/07/2016 20:22

He's being a bell end & needs a humour bypass

It's been a long day! I was confused by the fact the DH had done not one, but TWO stupid things.

For this confusion alone, YANBU and he needs to be punished!!

TheWeeBabySeamus1 · 14/07/2016 20:38

I'd be tempted to act like his mum if he's going to to treat you like it. Tell him his keys are confiscated until he's learnt how to be responsible for them.
