Entirely agree. Which is why I don't do the housework all the
time. And the sporadic times I do it, I make sure I point to
specific areas done for appropriate appreciation and praise

But then again that's me, i have high mess/dirt tolerance. So it
really doesn't matter to me if BOTH of us don't do it ALL the time

I mean housework lah.
Learnt tt from my cat. See.. don't always catch cockroaches. But
when you do, make sure you leave them where the owner can see
them!!! I don't believe in the type of silent self suffering
behaviour in a relationship where u labor silently in the hope of
appreciation from ur partner. That belongs to as bad a category as
.... girls who expect good surprises from men when they refuse to
tell the men what they want as pressies then get terribly
disappointed when they get.. uhh.... an indian pot or
something.
