Is this normal? l feel like my kids’ father is bugging, but he thinks nothing of it. 🤔

So I bought this really cute (& expensive) plate & bowl set after we recently moved. Tonight while loading the dishwasher, I noticed one was missing. I looked all around the kitchen, in the fridge, in the freezer, in the bedrooms, pretty much anywhere I could think of where a plate might be. It’s no where to be found. So I asked my kids’ father (we’re not together so that’s what I call him lol) if he knew where it was, or if he broke one, or if one of the kids broke one. He says “I don’t remember.” 🤦🏽‍♀️ We just moved in October. So we haven’t been here that long & the set is brand new. So then I ask “Did you clean up a broken plate at any point?” Side note: our kids are 4 & 2. So neither of them cleaned up a broken plate lol. He says “I vaguely remember something like that. It could’ve been like in the middle of the day or something, but I don’t remember anyone breaking a plate.” Like did you clean one up or not??? lmao. I’m so confused on how you don’t know something like that. Is it me? I feel like it’s not me 😭

People only remember things that are important to them. If it meant nothing to him, his brain probably immediately filed it in the Memory Dump 😂

Sounds like he's trying to dodge the question but I don't know him so maybe that's just the way he talks/types. It's possible he didn't know it was a plate at the time he cleared it up and now you've made him aware of it being missing and/or broken he's just like "Yeah, possibly"

@Alex he was dead serious 😂 he really does not remember. the second thing you mentioned is a good point. but if one of our kids had a plate, one of us gave it to them. & if it wasn’t me, it was him lol

@Ella that’s true. but i feel like a plate shattering & then having to clean it up is not something you just forget about lol

lol he probably slipped his mind but y lie ? 😂

@Yaz i don’t even think he’s lying lol i’m just like huh??

Plates go missing ALL the time here. That’s why I buy sets of 12 like if it comes with each 3 things with 4 each I’ll literally buy 3 boxes of that so I have 12 of everything- look in your fridge. Sometimes I use the plate or a bowl to put something on the then it goes into the fridge. For me it’s either in the cupboard, dishwasher, in use on the table (like w leftovers on it) or in the fridge. I asked one day where 3 bowls are and I realised I used it to put sauces in which were in the fridge 😂

plates don’t really go missing in our house. there are only 4 of us & 2 of us are toddlers lol. also, i listed the fridge as one of the first places i looked lol

Idk I forget things that aren’t significant to me very easily. It’s hard to say lol he could’ve just forgot

@Monét he definitely forgot. that’s what weird to me lol a plate shattering within the last few days seems to me like something someone would remember

Lol it does seem like something hard to forget tbh
