Lost sertraline

So about 6 weeks ago I started taking sertraline for depression and the first few weeks were hell but I got through it and I've been improving.
I work 12 hr night shifts so I sleep when I get home at 8:30 and my fiance has the kids (18 mo and 3 yo)
Last week I forgot to close the bedroom door and when he went to toilet he let our 18 mo wander in to the bedroom, she went through my drawers and took out the sertraline and the strips, thankfully she didnt try to eat any and I woke up to take it off her.
I never let them in the bedroom unsupervised so I thought they would be fine in the drawer.

Now I'm missing a whole strip and I can't find it anywhere, I'm so angry at my fiance because after talking to him I found out it's not the first time it's happened and he doesn't accept any responsibility even though he was watching her.
I wouldn't let him sleep in the bed because I'm still annoyed and worried about her finding it somewhere if he leaves her unattended in the bedroom again, I feel like I'll just start yelling at him anytime I'm around him.

Am I being unreasonable? I know it's hard looking after them alone but this happened while our 3yo was at day care

It's unreasonable they were left within easy reach of two young children tbh. It only takes a split second, and could have happened to you whilst watching them. They need to be somewhere secure.

The pills shouldn't have been in a drawer which a toddler could reach in the first place.

You both need to get hunting for the pills, stop arguing over who was wrong. Mistakes were made on both sides - pills shouldn't be there and him keeping a better eye on them.

You need to lock them away somewhere completely out of reach.

I take a right concoction of medications every day and they are kept at the very top of my wardrobe where my children can’t eve see them, let alone get hold of them.

You shouldn’t be keeping your medication where children can get to them.

Yea they should have been in a high up cabinet. A lockable one preferably.

I don’t see how you can be angry at him as you left them within reach. Nobody can keep their eyes on a child 100% of the time

Sorry, but it was pretty daft to leave them in the drawer in the first place. I hope you feel better soon

YABU sorry, medication shouldn’t be kept where a child can reach it.

You absolutely should not have kept pills in a drawer a toddler could reach I’m afraid. You’re both BU. Find them and lesson learnt. I’m glad the sertraline is helping x

You can’t watch them 24/7 stuff should be out of their way. I use a travel make up style case with number lock (so no key to lose)

I’d be worried and upset if he wasn’t helping you look for them now though I wouldn’t be able to rest.
