Locking the back door at night

[stickydoughnuts]

How angry would you be if you were in bed with the baby and asked DH to go downstairs and lock up (reminding him windows are also open). He does this. You have to go down 30 mins later to get calpol and see the windows are unlocked, so check the back door. It’s unlocked.

is it just me that finds this outrageous? I was in a burglary as a child so not sure if I’m overreacting but it’s DH job to lock up nightly and now I’m concerned that I can’t even trust him to do it - I don’t want us to be murdered in our beds but also what did he even do downstairs whilst locking up?! Just stand there?

Dh has left the front door unlocked, left the car doors wide open over night-both on several occasions and his crowning glory was leaving the back door fully open when we went away for a week. That is why I always lock up.

Actually nothing happened any time and he's thoroughly unbothered about it, so if I'm bothered and he isn't then it's better for me to check. I sleep better knowing that it is locked anyway.

Weaponised incompetence. You wont ask him again, and you'll make sure its done yourself. Another less thing for him to do.

I really appreciated the spirit in which this was intended/agree with your mood and have felt like that myself at times 😆🤦🏻‍♀️

Look on the bright side OP; you don't need to LTB, just stab him to death in the night and blame intruders. You can use MN post as proof he left the door open.
