This Dad Left A Few Items Behind At The Playground (Not The Kids!)

Sharyn Hayden

This is what happens when my partner Alan is taking the kids out for a day trip by himself;

Me:    Do you have the changing bag?

Him:  Yes.

Me:    Do you have nappies in it, wipes, a few snacks, the bottle and blanket?

Him:  Some, but not all of that.

Me:    Did you get Jacob to do a wee before putting him in the car?

Him:  He’ll be grand.

Me:    That statement is the rock you will perish on.

You know, he just forgets stuff here and there. He doesn’t have the mammy OCD running mental list that I have, the one that anticipates most potential upcoming disasters – mostly because I’ve already been that soldier who forgot the damn baby wipes.

But this Dublin dad has trumped quite a few other dad’s forgetful moments, if his wife’s Facebook post is anything to go by.

At least he arrived home with the kids, right?!
