Basically, he got sick of having a hangry toddler and/or having to buy $15 worth of food for a kid because he failed to plan ahead! </p> <p>My favorite is when we are all trying to go somewhere together and he stands by the door on his phone, ready to go whole u scramble around getting me and the toddler ready... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2742063 Wed, 31 May 2017 09:06:11 +0000 petitenoisette 2742063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH usually gets our LO dressed in the morning and the other day didn't put shoes on her before putting her in the car and forgot to get shoes or tell me to bring them out. Thankfully I had a pair of shoes in the car that I had planned to return so she wore those! </p> <p>However, that having happened once it will never, ever happen again and he will forever be anal about making sure she has her shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2742062 Wed, 31 May 2017 09:04:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2742062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH packs DD's lunch everyday so he's good with that! </p> <p>But he can def never pack the diaper bags or just a bag for a whole day out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741975 Wed, 31 May 2017 07:07:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2741975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does just fine. He takes her out without me often. The only time he has ever asked for my help is the first time he did school drop off alone and that's because his work day starts a couple hours earlier than mine so he had never been home when I packed her school bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741963 Wed, 31 May 2017 06:28:38 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2741963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I ever ask DH to pack for DD, I can bet it'll be in a crumpled plastic bag. He'll make a few whole sandwiches wrapped in the bag that the bread came in with some washed grapes in another bag still very wet. No napkins. Maybe a drink.</p> <p>Extra clothes will always be whatever the first thing he sees. Pure luck if it's matching. 3 pairs of underwear and 3 pairs of socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741912 Tue, 30 May 2017 19:15:20 +0000 winter_wonder 2741912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: lol :)<br /> @strawberrybee: Aww :heart:<br /> @caterw: Dang! Sounds like you could enjoy some of the extras!<br /> @desertdreams88: This would totally happen if we ever flew anywhere with DD, I just know it!<br /> @littlebit7: Yes! I feel like DH spends the same amount of time with DD that I do. He knows her routine! He knows she needs snacks. Yet, packing really stumps him :)<br /> @astro bee: Oh no!! Thank goodness the photographer had an extra!<br /> @looch: It's so interesting how attention to detail can vary depending on the task! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741194 Sun, 28 May 2017 12:29:16 +0000 looch 2741194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my husband actually had to do it, I think he's be okay...this of course assumes that he would be caught in a place without something and he'd never forget again!</p> <p>My husband has really poor attention to detail in our home life, which is really surprising, because it is on his attention to detail that he built his career. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741189 Sun, 28 May 2017 12:00:07 +0000 Astro Bee 2741189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have to pack food for daycare, as everything is provided. DH does well on packing snacks if we have an outing if I remind him, but it's usually me that handles that. However, he is terrible for packing and double checking his bag. We are half way through potty training and he never remembers to put in extra pants or the correct number of cloth pull-ups. We went to get family photos taken on Friday with our newborn and DS1 had an accident because he was so excited to play with our photographer's sons' toys. DH had "checked" the bag that morning, so there was one pull-up but no pants. Luckily our photographer had some old pants from one of her sons to loan us. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741139 Sun, 28 May 2017 07:06:24 +0000 Littlebit7 2741139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't even let DH pack anything for LO (or anyone else). He can barely pack for himself. He is a brilliant man, one of the smartest people I've ever met. But his common sense and awareness for Day to day stuff is mind bogglingly bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741122 Sat, 27 May 2017 23:55:20 +0000 DesertDreams88 2741122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wellllll my husband forgot my son's entire suitcase for our last trip sooooooo.......</p> <p>Lucky it was just a weekend trip, and we had the diaper bag and food! We needed to buy one oufit, swim diapers, normal diapers, wipes, a sleep sack, and a blanket. I think that was it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741083 Sat, 27 May 2017 18:36:02 +0000 caterw 2741083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: that's very sweet of your DH even if it's for a sad reason</p> <p>My DH also over packs- he put two granola bars, goldfish, and a mini cucumber in the bag for a run to Target today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741047 Sat, 27 May 2017 10:40:22 +0000 FaithFertility 2741047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: That's sad! :crying:<br /> Mine is just Italian :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741046 Sat, 27 May 2017 10:33:27 +0000 Corduroy 2741046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel you. DH never wants to pack snacks or even let me pack snacks. Then he gets hungry and the kids get hangry and we all melt down. It's so dumb that I have to covertly pack snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741036 Sat, 27 May 2017 09:48:17 +0000 StrawberryBee 2741036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: mine does the same. He's constantly sneaking more things into her daycare lunch bag. He sometimes went hungry as a kid, so he always wants to be sure she has enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741020 Sat, 27 May 2017 08:48:23 +0000 FaithFertility 2741020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: 😂😉<br /> DH Will IMO over pack for DD lunch<br /> He says she has a sandwich, carrots, raisians, yogurt, Apple does she need gold fish?!?!<br /> Hmmmm no....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-husband-packs-for-the-kids#post-2741014 Sat, 27 May 2017 08:41:23 +0000 winter_wonder 2741014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was supposed to be packing up DD's things this morning while I was getting ready.</p> <p>Me: what did you pack for snacks?<br /> DH: silence.<br /> Me: did you pack snacks?<br /> DH: Silence<br /> Me: Did you pack her silverware?<br /> DH: Uh....no.</p> <p>Ahhhhhhhhhh! </p>
