[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For years I took care of the kid's needs because they were kids and needed help. Then one day about 20 years ago I was packing for a couple's trip and decided my husband can pack his own bag. I was doing it before because it was easier.

He forgot

his toothbrush
his hair brush
his acid indigestion pills
ibuprofen
more than a pair of underwear
socks
He packed clothes he found in his bottom drawer that were too small.  He didn't check the area weather and didn't pack a jacket, long pants. He had to go in shorts and flip flops to buy some clothes and it was 30 degrees out. A strong cold front came in and dropped the temps 50 degrees. I laughed my ass off. Unlike him, I packed right.

Since then he has packed with every scenario in mind. AKA being a grownup.  And now he packs his own work suitcase.

I am not his mother. I am only responsible for me.

Ha, worked for you. Did not work for me. 
Year after year he forgets all that $hit. We have countless vacation pics where he is wearing my sunglasses or he is in the same shirt. 
What mostly happens is he goes on a shopping spree the first day or two of every vacation. And buys whatever he forgot or what too lazy to think to pack. So, no lesson learned, his MO is to break something or lose something and just buy it again. Nice example for the kiddos.  I thank god we don't have sons all the time. [/quote]
