How would you feel if he complained that dinner wasn't ready on time?

This type of nagging is detrimental. Life is too short.

If dinner it's repeatedly late? And you offered to hire a chef? Who would turn that down?

I don't hear that she's nagging. There's no evidence of that.

His job? Like cooking, cleaning is OP’s job? 60s’ came and went. Maybe you missed it.

OP. Sunday came and went ... is the lawn mowed?

OP here. He mowed it but I did have to bring it up. He agreed it needed it but we’ll be right back here next time.

Similar situation here. But if I called a lawn service it would be a HUGE argument since he doesn't want to pay the money and likes to do it himself (just not to the same standard or frequency I would like it done). It isn't worth the conflict. I let it grow and say nothing. Because there are some days when he has to look into the dryer for a clean pair of underwear because I got behind on laundry Or dinner is super late because I didn't get it done before school pick up followed by a afternoon sports. He never complains about my shortcomings with my tasks.

This.
Don’t take this on, yourself, OP. If you start doing every task that he isn’t doing the way you want it done, then you will find yourself doing every task and feeling a lot of pressure to do them perfectly while he either does nothing or spends more and more time at work.
Stop nagging, and don’t do it for him. You married him because you love him. Act like it.
