Think this might be 50/50...
At the weekend I hosted young DC's birthday party at home. DH was at work. I used the camera to take photos, and this morning we discovered we can't find the lense cap. DH is really pissed off. It's an expensive camera. I understand why he's pissed off, it's not that I wanted to lose the cap or anything. I'm almost entirely certain I put it on top of the bookcase where we normally place it when using the camera, but maybe not - or maybe someone picked it up by accident, or maybe the cat's knocked it down. I don't know. I do appreciate that technically, I have lost the lense cap.
However DH, who normally I'd not complain about as we do share childcare, housework, cooking and all that 50/50, completely copped out over DC's birthday. Didn't organise a single thing or help by a single present. (He is a bit like this with his family but I leave him too it).
So I planned, organised, shopped for, prepared and hosted a party for 10 kids in our house. Bought all the presents for DC and the kids. Tidied up afterwards before he got back from work. Took lots of nice photos and sorted and sent them on to our families to see.
While I know losing the lense cap is really annoying, I'm a bit more laidback that after having hosted our first large party in the house, if the only casualty is a lense cap (no broken plates or toilet accidents etc), it's not the end of the world. DH, however, thinks it is symptomatic of me taking less care in things. I can't say it's like I'm breaking things in the house all the time, but he probably does have a point. After a heated discussion this morning, I'm now of the mindset that if he'd helped at all with the party and DC's birthday, I might not have been so busy/stressed and so might not have accidentally misplaced the cap.
Anyone right or wrong?
