Keys

[sarkymammy]

AIBU to be incredibly cross with the OH for leaving house keys at work and now having to go to sleep with unlocked door?

He is a dozy twat, I would have sent him back !

Thanks ladies. Feeling much calmer for a rant. Door barricade in place. OH thinks I'm still being ridiculous (probably due to crazy new mum rant rather than worried about the door!). I am going to retrieve all keys/cars/other shite I find from PIL/work tomorrow... Probably when LO wakes at 5am! (only four hours to go)

Honestly OP What are the chances someone is going to come and try open your door only to find on this one night its open? Not very- and as a PP has mentioend, if they are determined, a locked door wont stop them.

I'd make him walk back and get my keys right now. I don't think you're ridiculous, I think you're restrained for not making him sit in the front garden on sentry duty.

Someone would be sleeping on the sofa tonight if it happened in my house, unless they were prepared to walk over and retrieve the keys. That's all I'm saying.

Yanbu. Dh is an eejit.

Get an extra set for yourself and hide them somewhere safe in case of emergency. I had a dozy xp who did similar, I felt better for having spares tucked away.

Put a lock on your door that self locks. E.g. like a yale, when door shuts behind you no-one can open it from the outside. Or are you talking about double locking from the inside. Confused

No chance I could sleep with an unlocked door - even with the yale lock and being behind the front door to the flats. I'd've made him barricade it if it was completely unlockable and he can go back first thing for all the stuff.

That level of silliness would make me so cross. I hated when DH and I first moved in together and he used to do the helpless male thing of standing in front of the door shouting "I can't find my keys". Look, then, you knob end rather than opening your mouth. He soon sorted himself out when he realised I wasn't going to help him with stuff like that the way MIL always had when he lived at home.

I would have made him fetch them whatever time of night. No way would I have risked the insurance not paying out in the event of a break in. If it was too late to wake the In laws I'd have literally slept in front of the door as I said up thread.
