How to deal with a partner that is not paying attention to anything

In some ways he is making teeny tiny baby steps of improvement. I am also tailoring my expectations

But Why Why do I tell him over and over that I have one week of vacation for me to go and visit our rental property and do a lot of work that needs to be done. I ask him what supplies I need because I need to know how much I have to spend and we need to get the stuff ordered. I ask him daily for 2 weeks to assist me Cuz he is not working.
Then today the day before I leave to start my 12 hour drive to the property he starts whinning that I was never clear about when I was coming and that I might have waited too late to purchase the supplies to work on the house. 😤
But that he will produce a list for me of things he needs up there.
Trying to stay peaceful and not nag.
Why doesn't he pay attention??? Ahhhhh

Ignore him, resist every urge to "nag", and let things fall apart, and then he will be the one asking you questions. He's not taking responsibility because you're doing all the work and he thinks that includes taking the blame.
