by expecting DP to know where the KIDS CLOTHERS ARE !!!!!!

[moosh]

I'll throttle him, I really will.

Why is it whenever he is getting the kids ready I get, "Where are their pants kept? In what draw are the socks? Where are the trousers, coats, gloves ?" Aaarrrrggggghh !!

"WHERE IS YOUR BRAIN AND EYES" I want to yell. The clothes are where they always have been since the boys were born, no one has moved them around. Look in the draws yourself ! I always wonder what would happen if I wasn't about for a few days, he'd have to look then wouldn't he?

The Fool !! Phew, feel better now.

I feel your pain.

Put labels on the drawers.

In fact, I'm so pleased with that piece of advice I'm giving you, that I'm off to make labels for DS (7).

I am determined that he will not be one of those men!

Yep, know that feeling! DH is exactly the same and asks where everything for DD is. One day I was soooo ill that I couldn't go to work, so he had the job of organising DD for nursery.

Not exactly a hard job, but he sent her in in........pyjamas . When questioned about his choice of attire for DD he said he thought she looked lovely. Yes, I replied, she does look lovely but pyjamas are meant for bed time.

I wouldn't have minded, only he used the stiggiest pair of pyjamas that we own (hence they are used as pyjamas!). I got some funny looks from the girls at the nursery the next day when I went back to work.

I have the same - oh, I don't know, how about the chest of drawers in ds's room?? HOW FECKING WEIRD WOULD THAT BE!!!???

same problem here !

My husband is exactly the same but I put it down to me being too good at the job and he feels so inferior that he can't cope!

If DP dresses DS he always goes rooting around and gets stuff from the bottoms of the piles of jeans etc on the shelves or the very back of the wardrobe etc and says "But hes not worn this before"

The reason hes not worn it before (and the reason its at the bottom/back of the cupboard) is that it doesn't fit him yet!

i PUT IT DOWN TO 'cAREFULLY INCOMPETANT' sorry

They mither you while they do something in the hope that you will give up and do it yourself.

Make a hames of it and she'll never ask me again

Oh god I get this too. He does the ironing but never puts anything away. When I ask him why he claims not to know where anything goes. How bloody difficult is it to open a drawer and look?

Oh this sounds ever so familiar and in this house it is also extended to anything kitchen related

Have you girls never heard of the phenomenom "the man look"?

Definition - Males who cannot see what is
a) in its logical place
b) right in front of their very eyes

I end up using the phrase my mum used when we were young ... "Right! I'll look for it, and if I find it, I'll give you such a wallop!"

lololol....I really think men can't help it....lol....

I actually find it so much easier to layout the boys clothes on their beds, rather than have to shout down the corridor a million times. I like the idea of labelling the drawers . Unreasonable, nope absolutely not. Likelihood of him changing - never in a million years

Moosh, in the 14 years i was with DH1 he never worked out where anythink was kept, even since i moved out he has called to ask,"where do we keep xyz?"
The children tend to have the same approch to life, wheres this that and the other, its a male thing im sure of it.

Deep breath and a cup of tea, sod it go stright got the G+T.

Have you ever tried the experiment where you leave something at the bottom of the stairs that lives upstairs and then wait...and wait...and wait...until finally YOU CRACK and take it upstairs and put it away yourself because YOU CAN'T BEAR IT ANY MORE!

must admit my dh's problem isn't so much finding clothes, but to colour-coordiante them a bit, lol....so, I rather get the clothes myself anyway, lol....

I have a much used favourite answer

whenever someone asks you where is my ..... and the answer is either

a- where it always bloody is

or

b- how the f* would I know?

you just say

"up my arse"

They stop asking after a while I find.

When the DTS had just turned 2yo, I went out leaving DH with them. When I returned 6 hours later, DTS were wearing a top but were still in pyjama trousers because DH did not know where their trousers were kept. I said "They are in their wardrobe". He just looked at me blankly and said that he thought they were kept in their chest of drawers with their tops, socks and pants. So if they were not in the drawers, where is the next logical place to look?

dh is the same
despite the clothes having been in the same place, same drawers for years
I have to lay out clothes for him, even pjs if I'm not oging to be around

and where are the wipes? where are the nappies? wehre are the bottles? where are the bibs?

ffs - do you live here or what?!?!

Fiofio-I think my dh is a stunner actually
