[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP with a procrastinating packer. We are in the car now. DS realized 90 minutes in that he had forgotten his deodorant, his razor, his toothbrush, his pillow, and his flip flops.

It’s genetic. DH was asked to bring home school supplies from the office. Yesterday evening, he produced a bag that contained two rolls of Scotch tape, but no dispenser. A stapler, but no staples.

Tomorrow, DC and DH will be making a Target run while I hang back and enjoy a quiet coffee. [/quote]

My husband marveled at my older brother showing up to our cousin's wedding with his guitar, but forgot a tie and belt.

We once got to a beach vacation when my husband realized he left his entire suitcase at home :lol: .  Completely unperturbed he headed to the outlets and picked up a bathing suit and some t-shirts, shorts, etc.  He is also king of the 'don't bring too much'. Pack light.  My husband and 2 teen sons can each go on a week vacation with a small carry-on. I am queen of the over-pack because I always "want options".
And everyone will eventually ask to borrow toiletries, toothpaste (if they remembered the toothbrush) etc.[/quote]

I meant to say--it all works out for them. You have the right approach--quiet coffee while they right the wrongs. Good luck with everything![/quote]
