Maybe Ive got one that was brought up right. He knows how to cook and clean and is very able to care for himself. He even does laundry.

So funny and totally relatable!
Hubby is always blind but he is the one with better eye sight…

I think it has to do with hormones. After my sister suffered a brain aneurysm she had the same problem. I think her hormones were altered as she was far less feminine post aneurysm.

My husband is fine its the kids that drive me crackers not putting stuff away.

Yes so blind. I often reply when he asks where something is, probably right in front of you. Since now most of my children also have his blindness I have taken to replying no idea when they ask where something is, especially if I know it is in it’s usual spot.

Selective blindness like selective deafness. I think women tend to have a giggle amongst themselves regarding it as surely men don’t believe we are that gullible!

I always ask how did you look for what you want? Did you do it the ‘male’ way or the ‘female’ way?
We have a laugh as I retrieve what he is looking for.

Male blindness is such a thing and starts when their young!

Just today my husband informed me that he’d searched the fridge and was certain we were out of butter. It took me approximately 30 seconds to locate it…

The laundry hamper!!!! I went through a stage of not washing his clothes if they weren’t in the basket then he’d all where his favorite shorts were haha

yep can so relate, things like do you know where my favourite shirt is? is normally met with when did you wear it last, or all the washing has been put away look in your drawer, then he goes i cannot see it, and then I walk into the bedroom, open the drawer and it is the shirt on top of the pile!

The laundry hamper is for collecting dirty clothes on it or the end of the bed which is really frustrating!

Don’t even get me started with putting dirty dishes into the sink after walking past the dishwasher! – we have a dirty dishes magnet and he will constantly ask me about the drawer that has the magnet on it going is it clean or dirty???? I mean wtf!

So i totally get this article it is my life with my husband to a T

Hahaha so very true.
My husband is that bad even the kids know what I mean when I respond to their question of ‘mum, I can’t find ‘it’” with, did you have a ‘dad look’ or a ‘proper look’

Hahaha, oh yes, this resonates with me to a tea.

Same as hearing! No I didn’t hear the baby crying or the kids fighting…lol

No my hubby is great he knows where most things are. I do have a habit of putting things in places myself though and then forgetting where that place was! hahaha

Hahaha i can definitely relate!!! My husband is the inventor of the “Man Look”…..Every man I have ever known is the same. I can be extremely specific about where something is and after instructing him on how to locate it, he will still return and state that it is not there. When I then go and have a look where I had told him it would be……you guessed it….its there! Im glad I am not alone in my frustration of the male condition.

Yep. When he can’t find something, I often get the blame because I like to put things away, rather than piles of random things somewhere like the dining table. I love it when I don’t move something and I find it where he last put it. Even when i give specific instructions, he somehow can’t see.

Oh my! Yes, I can definitely relate to this!

Haha, yes I can relate. We have a 19 year old son who falls into this same category. We refer to it as having a ‘boy look’ meaning it’s not thorough and a 2 second look doesn’t cut it.

Many years ago, both my partner and I read a book on this and it explained the scientific principles in layman’s terms behind this exact problem and it has to do with peripheral vision. Men can only see what is right in front of them, if a label is off centre, they can not make out what it says. Women have wide vision which is why many women have difficulties driving at night. Our wider vision makes it difficult for us to “block out” the lights from the sides of the road making it difficult to focus on what is right in front of us.
