Dh has a reputation for being incredibly careless with stuff. We live in the country and have a biggish garden which is bound by hedges but not walls or fences and runs along a quiet country road. Dh left a garden tool at the end of the garden (closer to the road than the house) two weeks ago and is amazed to discover it has been stolen when he went to use it this evening. He has told ds who is 8 and very earnest, that he had brought it in when he was told to it wouldn't have been stolen. There is no evidence that ds was told to bring it in but either way he is crushed that he has caused his dad this distress. Dh says I'm not blaming him I'm just saying if he'd brought it in.....but AIBU to think he absolutely is passing the buck here and my crossness with him is justified????
