OT: My husband the procrastanator!

[pkq]

Being timely with taxes and other important issues is being a responsible adult. It is not being a control freak.

Some people lack a sense of time management.

Don't focus on it so much, do what you need to do, and keep your sanity.

Oh I should add this- He will get the stuff done but it is always last minute. He would never let a bill go unpaid or anything like that. He is very anal about having perfect credit etc...

Brandi- if you are confident that he will get the stuff done on time (in his own time) then let go. I used to turn myself inside out to get my SO to get things done. Finally I stopped. I know now that if it affects me, then I should handle it. he won't get it done on time period. If it doesn't affect me, I try to just let it go. A couple of times he has had consequences to pay (late fees, poor credit) becuase he did not handle his stuff. He is slowly learning.

I am a very immediate person. It just about killed me to let things go! I am still working on it. As long as it doesn't mess with my credit or my bikes, I try really hard to let him handle his own messes. I envy you that you know your hubby will get things done!

Yea I guess maybe I am to hard on him sometimes. He would never let things get bad. And will never forget to pay a bill. It is just so frustrating when you want to put it behind you but it keeps looming in front of you. I have a hard time letting things go that's for sure.
