I’m not really the kind of person to blow things out of proportion because life has dealt my family some tough blows and I feel like I have a balanced perspective generally on life and what to get stressed about.

HOWEVER I feel soooo angry because for what must be at least the 10th time since we had our 3.5 year old my husband has gone to work with one of the car seats in his car so when I came to leave this afternoon to go somewhere I couldn’t actually go because the car seat wasn’t in the car. It was transferred into his car last night because on a weds eve we meet at our son’s activity and he takes one car seat home with him with our other child in it. It sounds complicated but I’m so mad I can’t explain this properly!

AIBU to be enraged that he’s forgotten to transfer it back to my car this morning? I don’t understand how it’s possible to forget the same thing that many times!

This is why we had seats in both cars, plus different seats suited each car better.

It's easy enough to forget in the morning rush. I'd make sure that the car seat set up is correct the previous evening, so no one had to be shifting car seats around in the morning. Or buy a car seat for the other car.

Remembering anything in the morning rush is always extra stress. I'd either sort it on Wednesday evening or better yet buy another car seat and keep one in each car.

That would really annoy me. I'd be taking it out myself immediately after the Wednesday activity.

That is really annoying but surely at this point you just buy another one and keep one in each car?

Being pretty brutal...you can afford 2 cars ..get a second car seat?

Surely you’re both equally responsible for making sure they are in the right place? Or if you can just buy one for each car?

Maybe you need a car seat for each car do it's no longer an issue?
