Should people be complemented/ praised by their SOs for doing everyday tasks?
i.e. Should someone thank their significant other for pitching in on the tasks necessary to operate a household- contributing financially, taking our the trash, cooking, mowing the lawn, etc.
It's a mutual responsibility. Do they complement/praise you for the same? Guess what I am saying is, it depends on how we live our partnerships. If it's part of our interaction, then yes. If not, then no.
No. We're making America Great Again. That means coming home and yelling at your wife for not having meatloaf done in time. Slapping her for making meatloaf again. Sitting in the recliner and watching football while you get drunk and your wife cries doing the dishes and you kick the dog when the other team scores despite you screaming DEFENSE at the TV. You got her a new Electrolux, what more does she expect?
While I realize you are kidding, the strongest predictor of being a Trump voter (other than being a Republican) was having strongly sexist views...;-D....
Hubby and I both contribute towards maintaining our home. We share all the chores and take turns. If he complimented me all the time He'd get on my nerves ..lol I did thank him when I was unable to do things because I was in a wheelchair, but it made him uncomfortable, but I still did ;)
He not only did all the work, but pushed me in my wheelchair to my doctor's office until I no longer needed physical therapy.
I'm a fan of good manners and expressing appreciation. It could get excessive, I guess, but generally speaking, I think it's a good thing to be thankful and to express gratitude.
