[quote=Anonymous]DH forgets sometimes. The trash sits til the next week. I do not fix his messes anymore.

There was a thread awhile ago about how DH's only do what's important to them, and I decided to only do what's important to me and drop everything else. To do this, I have to accept that things won't look 100% like I want them to. And I learned to be OK with that.

Some of the things I stopped doing: 
1) anything related to the yard. He likes flowers in the pots and flower box - I told him he knows where Merrifield is. He  now arranges for leaf removal, or gets our teen son to help him do it because I don't even mention the pile-up. 
2) sports "extras" - like arranging a private lesson or a specialty camp. I will do registration and get them to/from practice (or hire a teen to do the driving) but anything over & above is between the kids and DH.
3) Gifts - actually did this years ago. He's in charge of all gifts for his side of the family & his office gift exchange. 
4) Home decor - I decided that I'm happy with most everything in the house and if he wants to change anything, he can find his way to Target or Home Depot. 
5) If he doesn't get his T&E reports done, I mentally classify that as his money that was lost. Helps keep me sane.
