Sadly I agree, hints with men just sometimes do not work. We have to be as blunt as possible. I remember the early days with me and hubby James, he was very good with surprises and wooing me off my feet but naturally, as you develop as a couple, that does become less frequent. If I was you, I would not be angry with him but say " you know what, it would have been really nice had you listened to my suggestion and acted on it rather then assuming I would be the force behind every plan, it;s important we work together." Even if you both just sat down and decided on a date night plan together, I am not one for assuming the man should plan and pay for everything.

thing is, already know "hints" don't work, I don't do hints
we had a whole conversation about how long it's been since going out, and kid night at Y chance for us to do something, said I'd look up movies playing or we could do something else, fully expected him to come back home after dropping kid off at Y

seems I remind kid and him about a lot of things, or someone will say "remind me"

I don't do reminders. Once it's settled and agreed, it's that person's responsibility as much as mine. I won't be used as the reason they don't do their part. "Well you didn't remind me" really irritates the life out of me.
I will confirm, but I don't remind except in the event I know it's been especially hectic and forgetting would be completely understandable. Even then, I'd offer a reschedule or something else, if it's been that crazy.

kitty think it's because I don't have a job outside home now, that keeping social calendar for family, meals, reminders etc is part of my "job"

since I have the time to keep on top of things, so to speak, I try to
