@Go_hard_or_go_home i can’t quite think of a specific phrase for this. i think just telling him what you’ve been telling him works well! there is a phrase i can think of, but it’s different in context: like, when someone immediately forgets everything you tell them, or they’re hardly paying attention. you’d go “it’s like it just goes in one ear and out the other!”
but yeah, that’s the only forgetfulness idiom i can think of. my mom would just call me a monkeybutt. but that has nothing to do with forgetfulness

@Go_hard_or_go_home oh hahah maybe the word messy? “You’ve made a mess!”
- Simplified Chinese (China)
Surely. but he wasn’t actually making a mess. The thing is my younger son keeps forgetting things everywhere he goes I used to yell at him why you keep forgetting things in English? In China we have an idiom 丢三落四 To describe kids with such behaviour so I just wonder if there is similar idioms in English
