A Simple Thank You

[Shoestring]

Uggghhhh.....

I dont know why this bothers me so much

When someone does something nice, spends extra, extra thought and effort, you think that a thank you would be something that comes out of the other persons mouth.....

I am not asking for anything, just a Thank You, something to acknowledge the dead

(here is the skinny)

I have been ill, but I know my wife has not had a day to sleep in for a while etc. So I sleep on the couch because Wyatt had surgery this week and has not been sleeping well, so I can man teh kids so she can sleep in peace. Then I get up with them in the morning so she can continue to sleep. I have to wake her at 9 because we have to go to my Ma's for Christmas. I make her French Toast, pure maple syrup, Fresh Squeezed OJ (That sucks to do), etc etc.

So I wake her, she sees the spread and this is what I get (Oh Dan, I have to get in the shower) that is it. What the hell, why cant you say "Thank You, it looks good" or something......


Ugh

Awww, that was very kind of you to do that. Your wife may have been grateful but just too tired to remember to thank you.

That would piss me off too...

[Buttercup]

That was an incredibly thoughtful thing for you to do. I'm sure she appreciated it even though she didn't say anything. A "thank you" does goes a long way, though, doesn't it?

I hope that your son is recovering well.

A "thank you" would have been nice indeed.

Wow, I'd give a LOT to have someone just make me breakfast.

say shoe - buddy, come make me breakfast, i'll let ya have the bed

seriously tho - talk with her about it, explain that you know it was probably appreciated... but some "verbal assurance" would've been nice to have (new term the wifey taught me last week)

I didn't know that the dead needed to be acknowledged. You are still with us, right?

(well sometimes they do, but I think I'll shut up now before someone acknowledges my death.)

Throughout my life I have learned that it is better to give than to receive, but I agree that some of that "verbal assurance" is needed to show that someone is grateful for your kind act.

I agree, talk to her about it. Maybe she was too tired and it slipped her mind.

Thank You's do go a long way. I hate being taken for granted.

I let it go today because we had to go to X-Mas at my moms and other things needed to get done, not worth starting an arguement.

I did notice after I did my post that she took the time to atleast eat a good portion of the breakfast which made me a little happy that even though she was apparently busy, she still took a few minutes to eat what I made her.

kill her with kindness and when she asks about it, tell her you would rather she talks to her doctor...












jk
