[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am CEO and CFO of my family. My DH doesn’t do anything unless I ask ([b]this is a hyperbole, this is categorically a lie and because you are so emotional, I don't even want to read on, but I will ... lets see what other craziness you have in store)[/b], and he will then do it, but why do I have to ask?  ([b]Because you are a terrible communicator[/b]) For example, the mosquitoes are out of control in our yard. Day after day of getting bit up I ask him when the last time he sprayed (he did it regularly last year). He says in June. I tell him to spray again!  So he does the next day. Why do I have to ask?  ([b]Because you don't know how to communicate your expectation... do you want to spray weekly/monthly/on wednesdays, learn to use your word and set an expectations instead of expecting him to read your mind.[/b])Kid needs a check up appointment. He makes it after I ask him to. ([b]How is he supposed to know you didn't do it? Is this his job ... you never make appointments?[/b])If I didn’t meal plan or grocery shop, we’d be eating cereal all week. There is blue tape all over the house from when the painter was here. It’s been up for a month. It’s way out of reach for me so I ask him to take it down eventually and it’s gone the next day. I am so tired of managing who does what. I have a full time job too.

Do I have to accept this or stop doing these things or keep doing what I’m doing?[/quote]

Sit down like adults and use your words. Communicate things that need to be done, and you BOTH, write them down and how often they need to be done and assign them and then let it be. [/quote]
