Children need to learn to deal with disappointments in life.  Instead of criticizing your DH for a mistake made while taking care of your child, use the experience as a learning experience for her.  Kids are resilient.  She will survive her lost lovey a lot easier if you do not feed into her tantrum.  She is probably picking up more on your anxiety than the actual missing object.

In a calm voice, tell your daughter her lovey is bye bye but she can have the other lovey if she wishes.  If she choses to throw a tantrum, don't react and go about doing other things.  She will calm down when she sees her tantrum is not getting the attention she wants.  She will also learn not to fall apart when life doesn't go as she wishes.

As far as your DH is concerns, let it go.  Being overly critical over any mistake is a great way to ensure he will avoid such tasks in the future.

Thank you...

At some point when you get blasted for not doing things the "right way", (still getting done)  guess what??
you quit doing things.  Because at some point it is easier to not do any thing than to get blasted.
The alternative is to stand your ground but that is easier said than done sometimes.[/quote]
