Boyfriend has no regard for children’s toys

[Gt360]

Hi my boyfriend (the father to our child) keeps loosing our child’s toys whenever he looks after them. I’ve had to upto hear with telling him to keep an eye and that child is learning from us and we need to show our child how to keep their toys together but he doesn’t quite get it. He says what’s the big deal and now has lost the most recent favourite a spider toy. When I’ve asked him to look for it he doesn’t want to.

I’m so fed up that when his looking after her I feel like taking all the toys away (except one or two) and keeping them away from him more than the child. I was meticulous with keeping my toys together as a child and I want our child to have some pride in her belongings.

Toys are under the sofa, he doesn’t clear up the toys before dinner etc and I am always doing a manual stock check when I’m with looking after our kid to make sure things don’t get lost.

My child is only 2 so we have to be the eyes and ears of child’s toys.

Please tell me what I should do as it’s really frustrates me! Number 1 pet peeve!

You should dump your boyfriend. I have a feeling this will be the tip of the iceberg with the effort he makes in all areas of your life. It’s not hard not to lose toys, he’s just careless and doesn’t value your or his daughter by the sound of it

Thanks for your input. His really good in all other areas but just this bit doesn’t seem to get it. - I’ll talk to him again but there’s no way I’ll dump him! It’s the running around after our child to pickup toys he doesn’t like, as child is a bit reckless at this age or forgetful where it goes but child will never get better at it if we don’t show how it should be!

it is exhausting but hey child is only 2!
