My DH regularly forgets to write his receipts in the checkbook and as a result there can be $100-$200 that I was not aware of less than I thought in our balance.
He gives me permission to remind him, and he also tries very hard to remember, but he isn't always good about it and just when I think he was on top of it, all of a sudden the receipts pile up in his wallet and there is a disparity of $100-$200 that I didn't know about. This is frustrating as we need to stay on top of our finances to make sure ends meet. Last night he announced, oops, didn't realize he had all these receipts he didn't write in, totaling about $100.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a way to get him to remember, or should I just assume it's always my responsibility to remind him if I want to have the peace of mind of knowing how much we have in the checking account? He gives me carte blanche to remind him but then when he says he's trying to do a better job I have a false sense of security and stop reminding him, then there's another incident which ends up in frustration and resentment and trust issues on my part.
