Her Husband Often Forgets About Family Events And Then Blames Her For Not Reminding Him, So She Finally Told Him To Just Look At The Calendar
This 42-year-old woman is married to her husband, who is also 42, and together, they have two great kids. But their schedules as parents are also insanely busy.
Now, when it comes to managing all of their family-related events, she is the main organizer.
“Sports, doctor appointments, birthday parties, and school projects have all somehow landed on my shoulders,” she said.
“And anything that’s coming up, I keep track of on the family calendar, which is hanging in our kitchen.”
Since there is so much on her plate, there have also been instances when she’s forgotten to verbally remind her husband about an upcoming event– like a sports tournament, for instance. On other occasions, she has told her husband about some things, but he still forgot anyway.
Yet, whenever either case happens, her husband always gets frustrated and makes a “flippant” remark, claiming that no one “keeps him in the loop.” And obviously, that comment is always directed toward her.
Still, in the past, she would let that go. But, after her husband did it again just last week, she finally stood up for herself.
It all began when one of her kids had a competition, and she swore that she told her husband about it. Regardless, he was adamant that she never mentioned it.
“Usually, I just drop it, but I was annoyed at being accused of not communicating with him when I know I did,” she explained.

That’s why she decided to point out that all of their kids’ events are written on the family calendar.
“And all he has to do is look at it from time to time, and he’ll know what’s coming up,” she added.
That just ticked off her husband, though, and he claimed that he never looks at the calendar every day. He also believes that she should just make sure that he’s “kept in the loop.”
So now, she’s been left wondering if feeling like it’s not her job to keep her husband up to date on every single event is really so unreasonable or not.
Should she be responsible for reminding her husband about important events? Or should he grow up a little and take some responsibility off her plate? What would you have told your spouse in this situation?
