[quote=Anonymous]My DH is generally pretty good, but there's still some imbalances in "seeing things" that need to be done.

So I started telling him that I want him to pay attention to our home and family details the same way he pays attention to work stuff.  I know his boss doesn't have to tell him 3 times about a meeting, and if he has a question, he checks his calendar first.  So I started saying "check the calendar" when he'd ask me questions.  He tried to push me saying "but I know you know" and I would say "and you can know too, if you read the emails AND THE CALENDAR".  If you still have questions sure.  But if you wouldn't bother a coworker with a question like "when is that meeting?" because you know you can do your own research to figure it out, then don't bother me like that.

It has helped it click for him a little.  And point out how much he does it every week and how it adds to the dynamic of me "organizing" and he's just "along for the ride".

OP, I'm not sure your DH is ever going to change.  I'd be looking towards the door if he can't manage basic life functions.  I don't want to be my DH's life manager.  [/quote]
