He drives me crazy with his clumsy/forgetful/unorganised ways!

[Mrstumbletap]

Am I doomed to a life of frustration with my DH? I’m convinced he is getting worse, he forgets things, is oblivious to things happening around him, thinks of himself and makes parenting hard work. He is mid 30s and is just as forgetful and organised at work as he is at home. He forgets keys,phone, loses things, doesn’t think to pick things up for DC, doesn’t think ahead, doesn’t plan.

I thought partners were supposed to lighten the load for each other? Am I wrong in thinking that?

Do your partners make your life easier?

Cardey the app sounds great, unfortunately my DH will not use one, we tried and he just forgets to look at it / ignores the reminders. The only thing he does look at is his work diary, more than one thing to check doesn’t work. He doesn’t prioritise the same stuff as I do which is really annoying, but not a lot I can do about it. Even stuff he cares about he finds hard to get done (eg his family’s birthday presents- I don’t do that for him - they understand!)
