[quote=Anonymous]I send a todo list by email every monday, he adds to it.

I do some stuff and reply with the DONE items crossed off.

Also, I go to work early. I don't do morning routine. He does. Does he do it well? I don't know and I don't care. He has gotten the kids to school late, missed the bus, etc. I don't care. I tell the kids, nobody is perfect you have to deal with it.

Also he is responsible for 1 meal a week. I do 1 meal a week, we eat out (Chipotle) 1 day a week and we have leftovers 1 day a week.

F/Sat/Sun - we deal with that differently for dinner.

Also for school supplies I did Amazon Prime for everything, what I could not find I made a list emailed it to him and said go to Staples and get these items.

Clothes, he took them to the mall to get shoes/backpack. They went to Dicks for clothes.  I will fill in the gaps as needed.

Somebody has to steer the ship.

The reason we use email is because there is no emotion in the request and we can't really get in a fight over a list.

If the kids don't have supplies the 1st day of school it is not the end of the world, you need to let him fail a little.
