I'll go first:

Claims he can't remember dates so I have to send him full lists on when he has DS (50/50 so not exactly rocket science)
I have to buy all of the school uniform, normal clothing, shoes for DS-request the money he owes and then send it to his house because he claims to not realise what DS needs clothing wise.
I know I'm enabling him but otherwise DS comes back to my house in old, battered clothes and I send him there in new clothes that fit him. It saves my sanity whilst irritating the crap out of me.

She keeps her house in an absolute state - clothes everywhere and fleas are a regular problem.
Doesn’t send DC with enough clothes for weekends away etc despite a list being sent over.
Constantly running out of money due to overspending on stupid things, then comes begging ‘cap in hand’ for essentials.

I could go on, but thankfully DW is much more organised and responsible so I only have to experience the above every few days (rather than living with it daily)

It's definitely a throwback to when we were together when I would organise everything. He does pay up (eventually) but he only does things when it suits him. Only about 8 more years until DS will be able to sort himself out and I can stop being chief organiser to someone I'm not married to anymore!
