Aibu to rant about the stupidity of my dp?

[Rosedee]

So dp getting ready for work. I go into bathroom and ds is with dp. Dp ready to leave so I say please put ds in his cot with a few toys til I have finished in bathroom. Here's the dilemma, I had stripped the cot and put the mattress on one end to air a bit and was planning on re making shortly.
So when I ask dp to put ds in cot he is faced with this and has to ask me what to do as "there is no mattress" aaargh!!
How bloody hard is it to lay a mattress back down? It's not like I asked him to make it up again (which also stumped him once as he couldn't work out how to put a fitted cot sheet back on ffs)
Does anyone elses dp lack an ounce of common sense or is it just mine?

ooooh, thumbwitch ?

yes indeedy, potatoes!

!!!!

Is this the place to vent about undomesticated female partners too?

Only the comments about not knowing how to turn the washing machine on, leaving phone/laptop chargers plugged in, having a complete failure to understand that shopping needs putting away and leaving clothes all over the floor describes DW to a tee

MrsH - when DH has been left in the position of needing to dress DS, rather than go into his room and open the drawers to get clean t-shirt and shorts (or other weather appropriate clothing), he will take it out of the laundry basket because "they were the only clothes I could find". Regardless of how dirty/smelly/damp etc.

At least I can prevent that one by emptying the laundry basket every day so there's nothing in there. Then DS just gets left in his nappy.

Mymblesson - of course! we are all inclusive where partners are domestically challenged for whatever reason.

She's very far from stupid, though, it's just she doesn't tend to notice that things need doing or that, for example, if she's made herself a sandwich in the kitchen, it would be a good idea to put things away afterwards instead of expecting me to do it?

I love her to bits though and she is a lot better at ironing than me so she does do that.

I'm quite glad (but sorry for the rest of you) to know that I'm not alone. Its not that DH can't do things, its more that he just doesn't seem to think, notice, realise, remember .... He also can't find things - so life can seem full of "Where's my .....?" Sad thing is I generally know!

DS(3) has picked this up, and will always ask me where his things are, BEFORE he even thinks about looking! "Have you looked .....?" "No because Mummy knows everything"

(Off topic - DS was somewhere where he shouldn't have been at the weekend, I heard him, asked him what he was doing and he went to find DH and said "Mummy knows everything" in a very woeful little voice)

I am the ironing king in our house. If DW offers to do a shirt I am torn between "thank you that would be lovely dear" and "erm, actually I was hoping to get the creases out so i might just do it myself thanks".

The steam settings are not just there for decoration, and the squirty thing isn't a plant watering feature.

lol Ihatecobwebs

My ds only realised at age 8 that i actually didn't have eyes in the back of my head
