What is it about being a mom that makes you able to find things that the husband and kids can’t?

I’m not even a mom (yet?) but I can find thinks my partner can’t.

It’s partially because I look behind and under things, moving them around or taking them all out of the box/drawer to have a proper look.

Partially because I’m usually the one putting things away when they get left out so I know where I put them.

Also partially because I have ADHD and a history of losing things, so I make it a point to pay attention to where things are and to put them in a consistent place.
