DH tackled a particularly daunting pile of washing up yesterday that I had been putting off for a day or three and I went to thank him but then I thought, should I be thanking him for doing an everyday job that I mostly do?
Should I thank him for doing any jobs that are just a regular part of life? He doesn't thank me for washing up every day and nor should he have to.
If I thank him for doing something he should be doing anyway, am I just adding to the idea that he is 'helping' rather than simply doing his share? But I also want to let him know I appreciate him doing this stuff. I really didn't want to do that washing up!
We don't have any kind of rota or defined split of housework, though I am on maternity leave.
