My husband has one bill to pay a month and he always forgets. I'm in charge of remembering bills, grocery lists, preschool functions, even turning off the heat and lights at night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703672 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:29:02 +0000 deerylou 703672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, without a doubt. I'm the rigid, OCD planner in our marriage, while he's a low-key, "go with the flow, wherever it goes" kinda guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703622 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:05:51 +0000 MrsH 703622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, me. He is just too busy with school and work right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703534 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:22:10 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 703534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually me, but he is really good about calling service companies - I hate doing stuff like that! He also handled everything regarding my short term disability leave and the entire ordeal for getting me my free breast pump. I don't even want to get into it, but getting my breast pump was the biggest headache ever. I married a patient patient man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703532 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:20:35 +0000 Turd Ferguson 703532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehhhh, I'd say probably me. DH travels so much, so I kind of handle the "house" stuff. I keep track of most of the bills, day to day stuff, etc. If I ask him to do/help with anything, he's totally there. I'm just super anal so it kind of comes naturally! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703497 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:56:46 +0000 fussygal 703497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! We're both procrastinators, but I feel like I know when we really have to kick it into gear and get stuff done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703437 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:21:25 +0000 MrsMac 703437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, for sure! If I ask him to be in charge of something he'll usually do a great job, but in general I'm running the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703394 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:59:01 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 703394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband.</p> <p>I am a really laid back, go-with-the-flow, "we can take care of it tomorrow" kind of person.</p> <p>He is very type-A and extremely organized. He handles all of our bills. He also makes all the phone calls--he has an amazing knack for getting what he wants (from lenders, banks, medical companies, insurance, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703340 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:33:49 +0000 LovelyPlum 703340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear goodness, him. I'm a mess. I try, but I'm a little too scatterbrained to be trusted to follow through on most things...including remembering to wear a coat. This may or may not have happened today :)</p> <p>Except when it comes to doing research, calling companies or dealing with medical bills. I am an obsessive researcher, especially when there is a big decision to make. DH won't call people, and he detests dealing with insurance. Then, I earn my keep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703322 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:26:38 +0000 Cherrybee 703322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure! I leave laundry building up for days and am forever forgetting I put a load on and then I have to rewash it (like 2 days later). If DH decides to do it, it gets done! DH is also more likely to wash up straight after dinner, wheras I dither around - oh and I always miss something and have to leave it until next time! Bill wise, even though I generally manage the bills, DH is more likely to be the driving force behind switching suppliers or sorting some discrepancy out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703129 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:33:30 +0000 Boheme 703129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Him, definitely. I avoid things I don't really want to do, whereas he just gets them over with!</p> <p>ETA: I'm definitely more on top of things when it comes to cleaning the house and cooking. He handles things that stress me out, like our budget, bills, and his mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703128 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:33:23 +0000 Dandelion 703128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, him. I'm a wreck these days. But, prior to a month ago, it was pretty even. We're both good at taking care of the things we're in charge of. I take care of the cats and DS ok and keep the house clean, and he's good at the finances and other tedious things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703117 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:30:38 +0000 teamjse 703117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703114 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:30:03 +0000 Pepper 703114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703100 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:27:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 703100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, definitely me. Not even close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-703097 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:26:11 +0000 Ash 703097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh, pretty much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702965 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:53:04 +0000 heffalump 702965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always telling DH that I'm on top of it :) But really it just depends on what it's for. Finances, working on the house, getting our cars checked out..... that's all DH. Keeping up with laundry, pretty much everything to do with LO, remembering all of her crap each time we leave the house- that's all me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702889 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:40:48 +0000 Smurfette 702889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for the most part me. His ADD kicks in too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702786 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:24:01 +0000 Bookish 702786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, for the most part. DH is great at helping out and getting things done, but I essentially run the house and our finances. It doesn't bother me most of the time, because I really am excellent at keeping our life moving forward, but sometimes I wish he would take a little more initiative in planning things or being aware of our money :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702776 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:21:46 +0000 lilteacherbee 702776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be me. This is currently on my mind because I just checked the mail and we got yet another statement from the exterminators from when we lived in our old house (moved in November). They were pretty terrible and the guy who was supposed to spray for bugs rescheduled 3 times and never showed up for any of them. They charged us anyway and since DH was the one who handled setting all that up and calling them all those times, I assumed he would deal with it. Nope. We have gotten bills for 6 months straight for services they never actually did, but DH refuses to call them and discuss it. Drives. Me. Bonkers. He has an issue where he's terrified of being embarrassed and I think this falls into that category because he actually has to explain that the guy never came and now that its been so long, he doesn't know if they will believe him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702769 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:20:31 +0000 Alivoo01 702769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, but if I remind hubby or ask him to, he's on top of it and does it better than me sometimes, like cleaning the house. Home boy can clean man! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702768 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:20:27 +0000 sunny 702768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In general, me. I plan our social calendar, schedule appointments (doctor, home maintenance, etc). It drove my husband batty that I kept forgetting to call the cable company about something when I was on mat leave bc I'm generally so on top of things :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702761 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:19:22 +0000 Caly 702761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sweet lord. Me. Hands down. You name it, I'm on it like white on rice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702744 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:15:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 702744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely depends on what it is.</p> <p>concerning LO and house: ME<br /> concerning bills/ taxes and cars: DH<br /> we're both terrible at remembering social things. It's always like "did you rsvp to that?!" "when is so &amp; so's wedding?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702740 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:15:44 +0000 Anagram 702740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on what we're talking about...</p> <p>-If we need milk, if the house needs to be cleaned, etc = me<br /> -everything else = him</p> <p>I have a terrible memory and no head for numbers, so DH is much more on top of paying bills, saving money, etc. etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702732 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:14:51 +0000 illumina 702732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for everything except dates (birthdays, plans etc.). It used to be me for everything, but I got fed up and trained DH to take over ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702717 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:12:35 +0000 2PeasinaPod 702717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is much better at remembering things than I am, but I am on top of things with our finances. He's in the know, but he just knows that I like to handle that stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702709 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:12:02 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 702709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh god not me.

I am the one that runs the kids places, fill out stuff for daycare/school- he pretty much stays on a need to know basis. I even do a dryerase calendar that is on our wall each month and often have to remind him it is there when he claims I didn't tell him something.."It's on the calendar... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-more-on-top-of-things#post-702705 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:11:20 +0000 looch 702705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am more on top of things related to the care of our son, he's on top of things with our finances. </p>
