This is the kind of crap men do that give them a bad rap on these boards

[Anonymous]

I know a lot of men think that other men are crucified on this board, but find me one woman who would do this. I go out for one small dinner with a friend. One dinner. While I'm gone, my husband lets our daughter leave the house with her little lovey, her prized possession, the one thing we don't ever leave the house with, the one thing that stays IN THE GODDAMN HOUSE. It's gone now. She losing her mind, and he's sitting on the couch useless.
Yes, this is a vent. No, I'm not going to apologize. I'm actually going outside to look for the damn thing while he stares at the television.

Oh jeez. I'm sure you'll get a bunch of people thinking you're ridiculous.

In my house this would be a cardinal sin. I totally get it.

When our babies were still under a year old I went out a bought at least 6 extra "lovey" in various colors and animal types and started intermixing them regularly in the hopes of preventing exactly this sort of nightmare.

Good luck finding it!!!

I don't see how this is a man/woman thing, but since you made it one: Sounds like men should lose their damn mind when their wives start "forgetting" about sex.

You sound like a total moron.

Good luck finding the lovey. Ours was put on an overnight FedEx delivery when she accidentally got left at home on a week vacation. I understand your pain and frustration.

When you get back, if you didnt find it, can you post what it is? Maybe we all can help you find a replacement?

OP here. Nope didn't find it. We have three "decoy loveys" and she's seen through all of them, but they'll have to do now. They're just little lamb blanket things, but I swear, she can tell if it's not the original.

To the guy who posted - let's put it this way. If my husband wanted sex tonight, that would be the only thing that made me laugh tonight. If you do boneheaded shit like this a lot, your wife must be forgetting about sex a lot.

I hear ya OP. I would be pissed off too. My son had a blankie he only kept in the house...He relied on that darn thing to sleep at night. It was his comfort and security and my late mother made it for him so we had no back-ups so if it ever went missing, we would have been in serious trouble. He didn't even like it when I washed it!!
He loved that thing until it literally was a piece of thread. Lol.

Your husband is clueless. He shouldn't have let her take it out of the house in the first place. Now it seems he could care less that she lost it and is having a meltdown.

Sometimes I am so glad I am still single.

Who needs the stress??

So sorry. I totally get this. Our lovey was shipped from a hotel restaurant back to us. DD was devastated until it arrived.

At least you have a decoy. I think the thing they like most about the lovey is the smell, so once she has had the decoy for a while, it should smell the way she likes. For better or for worse.

Sorry to hear it. Gingerbread Man is the most valuable item in our house. Steal the rest, leave Gingy!

[Anonymous]

What neighborhood do you live in? Can we do a Lovey Watch for you? I sometimes come across these items when walking the dog and I want to get them back to owners...

BTDT, so sorry OP.

Ours could only be purchased at Sesame Place. Luckily, I found a replacement on eBay.

This is also why women get the bad rap they do - generalizing about men. Yes, your husband did somethign stupid. But that't all it means. It doesn't mean he's an idtiot, it doesn't mean he's a bad parent, and it certainly doesn't mean that all fathers would do the same thing, or are idiots.

I swear, this Mama bear, Mother is always right nonsense has gotten out of control. I blame Sarah Palin.

Bad situation worth being pissed off at your DH about and even venting about here but your attempt to make it a general gender issue is completely misguided. This is a lot less about the "kind of crap men do" and perhaps about the kind of crap your husband does. I might even infer from your post that you enable it.

[Anonymous]

I would be annoyed too, but honestly it was a mistake.
However, I'd be extremely pissy about the way he didn't care/help to look.

How dare you make this a "man" thing. You've done far worse, I'm sure, and he doesn't take to anonymous chat boards to "vent" about all women.

Shame on you.
