Furious with DH

[MamaMolly]

For so many, many things. But today: I was looking for the cell phone charger. He said it was in his backpack (which was open) on the floor of our bedroom. I look inside and find

BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE
and
METFORMIN

Yes. A pill of each sitting there. NOT in a bottle, not in a medicine pill case, NO. Just a pill of each in the backpack. Unzipped. On the floor. DId I mention we have a one year old and 4 year old?!

His response:
Oh.

Not even an OH! or Man, I'm glad you caught that before one of the kids found it. And when I held up the blood pressure pill and said
'This is dangerous. This could be a lethal dose of medicine. This could have killed Dolly' (because she happened to be standing there) he said:

yes dear.

In his best f*%#k off voice.

I.AM.FUMING.

I hear you! Two weeks ago I was doing my annual dusting (note to self - dust semi-annually:rotflmao:) & found a Percoset on a table in our foyer!? As far as I know DH has not had a prescription for this in over a year (and I don't even know if he was prescribed it then) - we have a 2 year old - his response was similar.:6:

[ThreeofUs]

Oh, I'd be so EXTREMELY p!ssed. You have every right to be angry, and he has no business not groveling to you. ARGH.

[arivecchi]

I would "lose" one his beloved items. Ooops honey. Thought that was trash.

Your DH needs a thump on the head. I hope he has a wonderful Mother's Day planned for you!

Oh, man. I'm so sorry. To cop such an attitude over it! Big hugs. Sounds like you and several of us need to break out some twisty straws! :54:

I'd be fuming too. I've had to have talks with visitors about keeping their pills up high in the cupboard--not loose out on the counter (for gosh sakes!). A childhood friend lost his baby b/c he got into a child-proofed, capped bottle of pills in the diaper bag. It happens, but some people get so nonchalant over these things!

wrong thread

[Momof3Labs]

I can't even begin to count how many times that has happened here. And he also thinks it is no big deal. Did I mention that he is a paramedic?

[KpbS]

That is simply NUTS! Sorry you had to be the only grown-up in the conversation :(

[firemama]

I would be fuming too!

This happened to me twice and DBF had a similar response. Twice I found a lone Adderall pill on the floor when DS2 was of crawling age. At the time I had no idea what kind of pill it was as I didn't even know DBF was taking Adderall. It was when he first started his law firm job and was really stressed and under a lot of pressure (the dr. prescribed him the highest dose no questions asked!!!!!) I looked the pill up online and was so freaked out (a dose that high could be lethal to an infant) that I was crying and shaking when I talked to DBF about it. I told him to never bring them in the house again and that he needed to find another non-quack doctor. The dose he was prescribed was the dose often prescribed for people with narcolepsy!!!!

My DH is famous for allowing things that children shouldn't get into on his nightstand. The other day I found a package of Gas-X on the nightstand after I got out of the shower because my daughter came in and said "want candy." I explained it was medicine. Then, I called my DH at work and asked how many were in the packet when you left this morning? I think six was his reply. There were six in the packet so I didn't completely panic. I then proceeded to tell him he needs to stop leaving things on the nightstand. She has found loose change, paperclips, medication, etc. I am beyond irritated now. Luckily, I was in the room for most of the occasions and caught her before she either put it in her mouth or swallowed it. I try not to think if she actually swallowed something before that I didn't catch. The thought always crosses my mind. Oh, and I tried putting a gate across our room to deter her, but she's figured them out.

I completely understand what you are going through. You have my sympathy.
