Remember to remind me

Has anyone ever said this to you? I find that people say this to me a lot.

Remember to remind me to bring breakfast to work tomorrow.
Remember to remind me to email my client when we get back.
Remember to remind me to mail the check.
Remember to remind me to call the store.
Remember to remind me to, blah, blah, blah, blah

I guess if I was being honest with myself I would have to take responsibility. (Well, I'm take some, but they should take some too.) I can't help it. I like being needed. I like being in control of the world around me. But, I’m also tired of it. My friends call me mothering, controlling, a worry wart, etc.

But.

Why can’t people take responsibility for their own stuff? Why can’t they follow up? Do what they say they will do? Show up when they say they will show up? I hate being put in the position of nag, checker-upper, mother. They're grown ups. They can walk themselves down to the store and buy a Post-It note. They can get a calendar and jot down a few notes. Right?!

I want to scream 'cause for how much I hate that I do this, I still follow up. Check up. Did you get this done?

I’ve come to three conclusions about this all:
1. For all my bitching and moaning, I’ll still remember to remind them.
2. I’ll continue to complain about it.
3. They’ll think they are better than me, wiser than me, more aware than me because of it, but they'll be wrong.
