Why DO men think of one or two chores as such a huge accomplishment? Not all men but majority of those I meet would expect a pat on the back for being a responsible functioning adult
They just want you to acknowledge they did it. Being rude discourages them from doing it again so maybe say thanks so they feel good about it and do more chores.
Although I agree with that why do women not feel the same? At least where I come from women grow up and do these things without expecting anyone to acknowledge it
I know if I go out of my way even in the smallest way, it feels nice to have it recognized. My gf does a good job of this and i try to do my best to tell her how I appreciate things she does.
Look at it this way. Making you happy was their motivation to do it. Letting them know it worked is all they want.
That’s actually a pretty good point and I’ll think about that starting from this point onwards but why don’t guys like to help just for the sake of doing your own chores etc. Why does it all mostly fall on women cause as far as I understand it men don’t like living in squalor either
