Let me start by confirming that this is a lighthearted rant, because I love him to death and he’s a good man who buys good presents, but AIBU to be frustrated once again about DH’s idea of what constitutes a good hiding place?
Looking for my slippers this morning (which he’d tidied away), look under the couch, and there sits what is clearly my Christmas present, unwrapped. I’ll add that we have a toddler so fishing stuff out from under the couch is a daily occurrence.
Last year it was chocolates pushed to the back of the top of the kitchen cabinet, despite my regularly using a stool to get something down off the adjacent cabinet.
My birthday he bought me a perfume I like, and left the bloody tester smelly stick things in the centre console of our shared car.
EVERY YEAR I somehow stumble across my Birthday or Christmas gift(s) or the obvious branded packaging that he’s left in the car or on top of the bin, just trying to go about my normal life in our home. I will point out that there are TWO cupboards in said home that I cannot see or reach into without a step ladder, but he can. If he put something into a normal drawer or cupboard and said ‘don’t look in there’ then I wouldn’t.
I don't ask for much but just for once it would be nice to open just one genuine surprise!!
