DH got up with DD3 this morning. She is halfway through a bottle of ready-mixed Hipp follow-on milk that I got last year for our holidays and is about to expire. A bottle of this stuff is white and purple, about a pint in size. I told him exactly where to find it (bottom door shelf of the fridge, left-hand side.)

He could not find the fecking thing. Why? Why?? Why???

I got up, went downstairs, opened fridge door, it was exactly where I said. He had even checked the other fridge and every other shelf in both fridges. He did not once even think of picking up every item on the shelf door of the little fridge and examining it carefully to see if it was what he was looking for. He must expect the correct thing to just levitate into his hand.

Clearly he and I have very different ways of looking for things. He now thinks he's going mad. I hope he can see what I have to put up with on a daily basis.

It is not a man thing.

It is a lazy man thing.

Next time DP says "I can't find the X", the response should not be to say "it's in Y place" or to come and find it for him. It should be to say "Well keep looking".

He will quickly become better at finding things.
