To be sick of his lack of preparedness?

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

Yet again we are under 10 mins to leave for an event and yet again dh has had to do an emergency dash to the shops because his shirt isn't clean.

Literally all he has had to worry about is his outfit. I've sorted gift, transport, kids clothes, my own clothes. He started digging out his cloths 30 mins ago.

We are now all sat here waiting for him to return. I've no idea if he has even had a shower, I don't think he has done his hair.

In all other ways he is bloody brilliant.. but this is not the first time this has happened.

I give mine countdown warnings & also tell him that we're leaving earlier than we are. It's a pain in the arse tho you're not wrong.

if he behaves like a child, treat him like one.
Either remind him the day before and insists he sorts himself out.
Or, what I would do, just go without him, he can join you later. I hate being late.

I wouldn't care, I made sure all the laundry was done and put away by lunchtime yesterday. He found his shirt balled up in the bottom of his wardrobe.

He will say "but I didn't think it was dirty" - no, but you didn't check!

I presume he doesn’t actually want to go?!

Does he only own one shirt ?
Why isn't it clean?

He is now home ironing the remainder of his outfit. I may just take all the dc to the car and wait there.

His other shirts aren't formal enough apparently. He doesn't wear shirts to work.

I just said put a less formal one on.

Does he only have one shirt? Can't he just wear a different clean one?

I'd leave without him.

My husband is great in every other way but his favourite phrase is "I forgot".

He wouldn't leave me to organise everything though, that is shit.

Same.
Recent examples include me asking for weeks to try his dress shirt on to check it fitted, of course he didn't. Get to the evening of the event and he tries it on turns out the dry cleaners had removed and lost the pin buttons!

I would be telling him the time that you need to leave the day before and if he is not ready then just go.

I’d have left without him if it meant getting there on time, especially since this is not the first time he’s done this.

I can’t believe he only owns one shirt and didn’t make sure it was clean the night before.

It sounds like he didn’t want to go. Can you go on and let him meet you there?

Tell him the event starts an hour earlier than it does. Or leave without him. My first boyfriend was like this. It drove me nuts. I just used to leave without him.
