Why am I so inept?

Phone fell out my back pocket when I went to the loo. Couldn't be seen anywhere. Not down the loo, not behind the brush. Disappeared! Realised it had slid under a tiny gap in the wall. Got a knife and various kitchen implements, only succeeded in knocking it further under the wall. Wtf! Couldn't reach it at all, but could see it. Soo frustrating.

In the meantime, I had put my Chinese takeaway in my mum's oven and put it on high instead of plate warming and melted the plastic pots and ruined a £30 takeaway for us.

I'm a 30- something mum. Why am I so inept? Genuinely feel sorry for my baby daughter having a shit mum to raise her.

Cried when my mum came home from work and now worried about what I'll fuck up next...

Shit happens OP. I dropped my phone down the loo once. Bit of Dettol and some rice and it was ok.

My most recent was actually a joint effort with DH. We wedged the Christmas tree up with a log. Said log had a fungus on it that ruined the expensive and very large rug it was on and started on the wooden floor. All to save a tenner on a Christmas tree stand.
