To think DP could be slightly more upset

[mummyrunnerbean]

He's somehow lost DS's sling. The sling that gets used multiple times every day, and is just about the best thing (and one of very few non-second-hand items) we've bought for DS. The sling that is in fact the only fucking way to get him to have a nap during the day.

I think he put DS in the car, put the sling on top of the car, and drove off .

We can't afford to replace it, and all he keeps saying when I suggest a new place to look is 'Let it go. It doesn't matter.' I'm just ranting here because I don't want to rant at him as it was a stupid careless idiotic mistake but AIBU to think he could act like he cares A LITTLE BIT.

Disclaimer: I don't actually care if IABU because I haven't had a decent night's sleep for six months, I've got the tail-end of gastroenteritis and IT WAS LOVELY AND HAD ROCKETS ON IT AND I ACTUALLY CHOSE IT INSTEAD OF GETTING IT IN A STUPID SECOND-HAND BUNDLE.

"The concept of moving things so that he can check the stuff that is further back is totally foreign to him."

I wonder, does this only happen when they live with a female?

My husband lived alone for years, I assume he could find stuff then?

I guess the cupboards & fridge were less full when it was just him, though!

Oh yes! "someone's moved them" which rapidly moves on to "YOU'VE moved them" or "The cleaner's nicked it!"

No DH, none of the above is true. You're just useless.

I know he's still inwardly blaming me for the loss of a £50 note his mother gave him LAST Christmas.

Thing is, he loses quite important stuff! Like his birth certificate. And driving license - the MORNING we were departing for our holiday in France. To which we took the car. Yeah, that was a fun dry one for me. Might lose mine before we go this year!

The concept of moving things so that he can check the stuff that is further back is totally foreign to him.

This is SO true. DH regularly mislays stuff. It often turns up on the kitchen table but something has been put on top of it, e.g. his newspaper when he put it down after doing the crossword, and it never seems to cross his mind to pick things up and look underneath them.

This morning he had to take his car in to the garage for repair work and, surprise, surprise, he only discovered the keys had disappeared when he was on the point of leaving the house. I lent him the spare which is usually on my keyring but that will be something else for me to find tonight!

"but that will be something else for me to find tonight!"

Why?

His keys, his problem?

It's not just men, I too am shit at looking for things. However, DH educated me on the art of moving stuff so I know better. The fact that I am still shit at finding stuff is my own fault and laziness.
