Lighthearted.

Where has my 11 month old son hidden our TV remote?
I have looked EVERYWHERE. This is coming from the same boy that put a jar of marmite in the washing machine.

Cats' litter tray?

TheCanyon · 26/04/2019 11:13

Last time our remote went missing it was in the tumble drier hose.

Oysterbabe · 26/04/2019 11:13

It'll be under the sofa, in your handbag or in the kitchen. You took it with you by mistake when you made a cup of tea.

Easterbunnyhashoppedoff · 26/04/2019 11:14

Pan cupboard? Downstairs loo?
Baby change bag?

ItsJustASimpleLine · 26/04/2019 11:17

It's got to be in something, a bag, inside a ride on seat, inside a box, drawer, bucket, bin laundry bag.

My DS and DN love to hide things I need.

DS1 used to put things under the bonnet of the ride-on tractor he had.

CareBear50 · 26/04/2019 11:17

In pocket in pram???

Do you have a dog? Ours likes pinching those if they are accessible. If the door is open he’ll take them outside to play with. They all have teeth marks [classy]

Houseworkavoider · 26/04/2019 11:19

Play kitchen
Sofa -under cushion or between sofa and wall
Toy box?

ByeByeBirdi · 26/04/2019 11:19

Ours was in our baby bag. I found it after a bought a new remote....

Oceanbliss · 26/04/2019 11:23

Laundry hamper? My dd hid our remote in there once. I turned the house upside down looking for it. Must have been very amusing for her.Grin

BabyDarlingDollfaceHoney · 26/04/2019 11:24

Oh god did we ever find out where that woman's ironing board went?

Check the fridge and your handbag. I've put ours in both those places before.

HalfBloodPrincess · 26/04/2019 11:28

My ds is nearly 2 and has a hiding place and I still don’t know where it is! I’ll be looking for weeks for something that has disappeared, finally conclude it must have been thrown out accidentally, then hes sitting there playing with it days later. Happens at least once a month. Think we’ve got a portal to another dimension somewhere that he only knows about 😩

Mylittlepony374 · 26/04/2019 11:30

Ours was outside last week. In the greenhouse. Why? "Just because" apparently.

Mummabear2212 · 26/04/2019 11:33

Inside the washing machine, washing/laundry basket, peg basket, inside Thomas the stupid tank engine and his stupid lid on the stupid seat of the stupid ride on (can you tell where things are in our house?) Grin

MRex · 26/04/2019 11:38

Have you checked up high in case you moved it, as well as low and in the annoying edge bits under the sofa cushions that are apparently designed to collect dust? Also in the fridge and by the kettle, plus dressing gown pockets.

Toddler spots... In the biscuit tin drum? In any low drawer?

DowntonCrabby · 26/04/2019 11:41

The longest I’ve spent looking for the remote it was finally discovered in a welly boot.

Ski4130 · 26/04/2019 11:42

Bin? We almost lost two remotes, a set of keys and a very important letter that way when my ds was 2. He was fascinated by the bin. The weirdo.

CustardySergeant · 26/04/2019 11:53

"Oh god did we ever find out where that woman's ironing board went?"

You've just reminded me that there was an ironing board lying on the pavement (no one around) on the opposite side of the road to Hastings promenade yesterday. Maybe the ironing board went on holiday (by mistake) and passed out drunk there.

ShadowLine · 26/04/2019 12:04

Bin?

I went to my parents house a few weeks ago with my 2 yr old, and he got caught red handed in the kitchen posting food from one of their cupboards into their bin. Blush

Although the last time our remote went missing, it eventually turned up behind the microwave. No idea how it got there, but it can’t have been the 2 yr old as he’s not tall enough for that.

littlemeitslyn · 26/04/2019 12:07

Ooo my daughter lives in Hastings!

StylishDuck · 26/04/2019 12:09

My DS hides the remote in the wine rack.

RChick · 26/04/2019 12:10

Letterbox?

Lightsong · 26/04/2019 12:13

Check your shoes / boots, we often find things hidden by our toddler in our shoes.

youngestisapsycho · 26/04/2019 12:25

Toybox?
