[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband hates it when I direct or question the way he's doing things, but if I don't he leaves a path of half assed work I have to clean up behind.  E.g.

- Forgets to brush kids teeth before bed
- Uses daytime diaper at night (instead of nighttime diaper) which doesn't work for DS who wakes up at 2AM soaking wet 
- Leaves the dogs leash and collar in very random places the dog walker can't find it, she then calls me for help while I'm at work
- Doesn't start the dishwasher before bed when he's the one cleaning the kitchen so we don't have clean things to pack up in the morning
- Leaves out dangerous objectives all over the place

etc etc etc

I'm not perfect but in general I do not leave this path of things that behind me that create a lot of work for other people.  And these aren't things like having a preference for how the dishwasher should be loaded - it actually matters if the kids teeth aren't brushed 50% of the nights and the baby is waking up in the middle of the night soaked in urine.

I hate hate hate nagging him about it, I'd rather him just do things fully without me having to think through them also.  He acts like a bratty teenager when I do give him reminders for key things.  Any ideas of how to address / improve this?[/quote]

He sounds really immature and out-of-it.

How did he make it this far? You'd think someone like this would have been hit by a car or fallen down a deep hole by now. Perhaps he was very sheltered by his father and mother or housekeeper?[/quote]

Yeah.  I agree with this.  There is no way that he doesn’t know how to do this stuff.  He is being passive aggressive because he is mad at you about something, OP.  Men are huge babies about bringing up problems.     [/quote]
