Last night my SO was running around the house freaking out because he could not find his check book. He yelled at each of us as if that was a way to get us to find it for him. He was sure we did something with it. I started looking but I am a bit stubborn when it comes to someone yelling at me so I stopped looking. Now honestly I wasn't really concerned because he had it earlier in the day in the house and none of us left after he used it so I knew it was some place close by and he didn't need it at that moment. This morning when I got up I got an appology for the yelling which of course made me feel better about finding it. I looked every where and could not find it. I knew though he had had it at home and not taken it any where. I am not sure what made me look but there under his tool box was his check book. Now I know I didn't use his tool box and I am sure the girls didn't either. I let him know where it was and he started laughing. Of course I was giving him the "Yeah we lost it" look. He said I forgot I got out my screw driver. So why is it that he felt we should find what he lost? One can never know. Do you go through this?

Yes, we do. My son is horrible if he loses something. He puts nothing away and then yells because he can't find it and swears you must have thrown it away. I am thinking about throwing things away until he starts putting things back where they go.

It was also probably because he knew you would look where he wouldn't... it happens like that guys will look in the obvious places but girls will look in the least obvious

That happens around here a lot. My mother is constantly losing items and always expects me to help her look. For one, she never puts items in the same place twice, and two they never stay where they are first put. She'll come home from work and place her car keys in one location one night and the next night they are in a different part of the house. Or, she'll end up putting them in the same place, but end up moving them for some odd reason later and then she gets frustrated at me and expects me to help her find them when I didn't lose them and when I wasn't the one that came home and threw my stuff all over the house. I get to the point I don't help her anymore unless I know I've seen them because it saves me a lot of trouble.

I have a husband and 3 boys and all I can say is that it is a man thing. They loose things and can never find them again. They don't know how to look for something like we do. My husband can look in a drawer for something and I will look right after him and it can be on top of the drawer and he doesn't see it. Don't stress out over things like this~ at least he did apologize.

Thats because they expect us to help them, and also they beleive that we are good at finding things, and obviously good at all such things for that matter. They know that we are smart and so they get annoyed when they find out that we are not putting a good effort to find the thing that they lost.

i have to admit that i do exactly this quite frequently. i'll misplace something and then yell at everyone for using it and not putting it back. i mumble and moan the whole time i look for it. and it is usually my loving wife that comes to my rescue. yes, right where i left it. personally, i think she gets some kind of sick joy out of it...lol. and that is why i normally ask her where something is before i even look for it. i don't know what i would do if i lost her. don't worry. i'm extra careful about that.

When my grandson can't find something it can't be because he missplaced it, it is because someone cane into his room and stole it. I try to take him through the prossess of wherer he saw it last but that doesn't work with him. we just have to look until we find it. I make him clean up his room then he blames me because he can't find things.
