[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, tonight he'll tell me that he has to work (he doesn't work a traditional schedule), go to a doctor's appointment, pick up his dry cleaning, and give someone a ride to the airport. This means that all day tomorrow, I'll have to remind him to complete each task or something won't get done. This gets super annoying when it relates to a task he has to complete at home because if I don't remind him, then it doesn't get done.

It's a pain for me to have to manage my life, his, and our infant's.

Anyone else have to deal with something similar?[/quote]

Ok OP, let's imagine your example above is literal. Let's also imagine you didn't remind him; what would happen? I assume he remembers to go to work, has a calendar to check for appointments (digital with reminders is helpful as is a visual calendar somewhere he spends time in the mornings) so he will see the doctor. Maybe then he gets distracted and goes to the bookstore rather than remembering the dry cleaning? Or what would happen, he'd come home maybe? And then later get a call from his friend wondering where he is and he'll belatedly head to the airport.

No one dies or even gets hurt, no one loses their job or any money, why exactly do you have to babysit his schedule? And when it comes to household jobs just sit down and set times for things. My DH has bathroom cleaning duty at 8pm every Sunday night so I never need to ask or remind him to clean, it's a part of our routine. Start building some at home, especially with an infant, so you're working like an efficient team. Especially with an infant at home you need to conscientiously stop babying your husband and let go of things that ultimately don't/won't matter; any love and romance will die off, otherwise.[/quote]
