Hello all, hope you are well.
Now, yes, I know I'm lucky to have Mr P to do the shopping, despite the rather "random" substitutions
BUT I'm getting pretty damn miffed!
I thank him for doing the shopping, even with the substitutions, if he dishes up, I thank him for doing so. On the very rare occasions he prepared food (cheese and onion sandwiches at lunchtime only thing so far, and only because he was making one for himself and I suppose felt obliged to ask me if I wanted one, as I was in the same room!) I thank him.
However, I have been cooking my bosoms (small though they are) off, going all "Domestic Goddess" with the home made soup, pies, etc and haven't received a single "Thank you"
I sometimes say "How is it?" Or " Is it ok? " just get "fine" or a sort of grunt!
When we have finished, he will usually rinse and stack the dishes (we don't have a dishwasher ) and then toddle off into the sitting room!
Feeling somewhat taken for granted!
