Just had our regular "you didn't pack your bag last night did you?" argument.
Every night I send DS12 upstairs to pack his school bag. He goes up, tells me he's packed, comes back down. I include in my instructions the following:
School uniform
Books
Lunch card
House key
Then over breakfast, it turns out he has no trousers, can't find his homework diary and then is about to leave the house with no lunch card and no house keys (I will be out when he comes home, as I have been away all weekend so need to do a food shop after work). DSs 17&16 will be home anyway but that's not the point.
AIBU to expect him to be capable of packing his own school bags and should I go back to doing it for him, or sitting in his room until I have seen him do it? Feels as if I now need to wipe his bottom for him too.

To expect my DS12 to actually pack his bag when I remind him to?
