If you were a 4 year old girl...

[elvislives2012]

Where the fuck would you hide the amazon remote?!!! I've turned the house upside down! I know she was doing it to annoy her older sister....

We found ours in ds toy box

We found ours in the pocket behind the car passenger seat once. We'd been looking for it for weeks!

I just asked mine. She said "on top of a tree". Hopey helpy.

In my pants.

Can she open any of the windows? She may have chucked it outside.

I have been known( without succ ss) to crawl about at toddler level to look for hideyholes.
Coal scuttle?
Cutlery drawer?

In the shed
In the garage
In a plant pot
In the hoover
Under her bed
Under her duvet/pillows/someone else's bed
Under the sofa
In the tool box
In the fridge
In the freezer (I hope it's not there)

My 4 yr old DD hides everything in her dolls house or in a bag. Any bag she's playing with then leaves said bag randomly around the house. So it's a search for that too. Good luck

Might she have been pretending it was something specific? Is there a game she plays that includes it? Or could you make finding it into a game? It is hideously easy to lose and tricky to find - the 5yo isn’t our usual culprit though: it’s usually me or the settees to blame...

In her own bed, under pillow/mattress/toys/under bed.

Here's hoping it wasn't in the bin 🙈

Thrown in the furthest possible corner of the cupboard under the stairs. That's ds's favourite binding place anyway.

Dolls house
Toys kitchen cabinet
Dog’s bed
Laundry basket (I’ve found loads there)
Wendyhouse
Under the bed

Oven gloves - my favourite hiding place when I was that age...
Hope you find it OP!

Handbag

I just found my makeup bag today after two months of looking in DS wardrobe, good luck....

I found mine in an old change bag - it was missing for 18 months

You need to come up with a cunning plan, you say to her something like;
if the lost things fairy was to find the lost remote control and put it on the table I would be able to get you ( your choice here of what would tempt her). Give her space now to return the remote.
Or; if I cannot find the remote I won't be able to get you.........
Or Father Christmass could be dragged in to this plan.......
Give it a try.

In my experience, she'll have forgotten. Mine were always losing their trainer cups, wandering around the house with them and putting them down in random places, then forgetting where they were. I couldn't afford more than one cup per child, so I'd be in a panic that they couldn't have a drink all day.

In her Dolls House.
In a toy box.
Toy drawer.
Anywhere really 🤷🏼‍♀️

F
(Sorry OP but I'm hooked on your mystery)

If you're still looking OP, DS when he was little, hid a room freshener in the veg patch... Found it after a few weeks.

Behind the tv? I also vote for in shoes, behind the radiator, under the sheet on a bed, in your chest of drawers, under the sofa. All places I have found lost remotes, toys and cups.

Through the cat flap, if you have one

In my duvet.

We're all with you OP... every house in the land has had similar!
It's so infuriating because you know it is there somewhere!
