Poor old not so Happymouse, i'm not really sure what to say, but i thought you needed a bit of support.
It's so disheartening when you put alot of work in to something, and things go wrong. Maybe if you give the seedlings a good watering they will pick up quite quickly. I'm sure your DH didn't mean to harm your seedlings. Sounds a bit like a rolling pin moment to me.
Try and think positive, and i'm sure you will soon bounce back.
Kind regards the Old Herbaceous.
Theres no fool like an old fool.

Well my dh just emptied a load of rubble into my compost bin, if it's any consolation. His excuse? I didn't give him precise enough instructions. I told him to put the turf he was digging up into the compost bins - this if course also means any lumps of concrete, mortar and broken bricks that he happens to come across as well. Well, they rot down really well and the plants love them, don't they? 
Jenny, The Old Man does exactly the same thing. All plants go into the compost bins, couch, bindweed, creeping thistle!!! 
Happymouse, don't worry about it. Pout a lot and sulk then you might get a really nice "guilty conscience" pressie. I would

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Lizzie - I think they do it on purpose to get out of being asked to help again!
Peter - dh is dear/darling husband! Not a put down at all. Most of the time he is a dear and a darling.

They do Jenny. Definitely.
Being of the equal opportunist mind, I tend to do the same. On the lottie, it's brill.
Just stand there with a hammer in your hand, tap it a few times and them men come running. "You don't want to do it like that you soft cow."
"Don't you. How do you do it then?"
"Don't bother, i'll build the shed for you."
Easy, job done

PMSL Lizzie!
My dh is useless at that sort of thing too!
He's broken three spades, several loppers and a garden fork. He's lost loads of other things too. I've finally learnt my lesson and he's not having access to any of my tools again! The problem is he quite likes coming out into the garden to 'help'.
He can wire anything up at the drop of a hat, though, and work wonders with anything electric - including computers. I just need to electrify the garden and he'll be well away!
