to think its not that hard to bring bags back from nursery?

[fairylightsinthespring]

Whenever DH picks up the DCs he never brings back both lunchboxes, the bookbag (they share one) and / or the spare clothes bag. If one of them is wearing something other than what they went in, the original outfits don't come back. He is irritatingly vague and just says "well it's really busy". Its no less busy when I pick them up and I manage to bring everything home, including checking the lunchboxes for tupperware and hunting round and finding clothes. AIBU to think he could actually get his head round this?

If I said that is men for you I am sure that I would be bashed!

I have similar with my husband, he takes his lunch in a tupperware and forgets to bring it back home and then after about a week brings back 5 in one go!

Give him a list perhaps?

Mine takes DD to school and forgets her bookbag. Or collects her and doesn't bring home her cardigan. I think it's called Acquired Helplessness

see, I've been on MN long enough not to put in the OP that "why can't men do this.." but its seems its heading that way

YANBU, DH always forgets something. This is compounded by the fact that our CM is equally disorganised when it comes to hats etc and so it's all a bit hit and miss what we end up with. The winter is worst and last year I got a bit arsey about running out of hats as they were always in DH's or the CM's car.

DH is very switched on and organised generally and so is my CM but for some reason they both have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to 'getting everything home at night'. I have learned to let go

I don't think the OP should have to give him a list. They are his children too.

OP, YANBU. Sounds like he takes the easy option! My DH is the same
