Not really but I don't "ask" my H to do things. If he does not do them, they don't get done.
If he wants clean clothes, he washes them. I don't thank him for washing his own clothes. If he want his dog to not die, he feeds him. I don't thank him for not killing his own dog. If I need help with something like moving furniture. I ask nice, "can you help me move the couch" I will say "thanks" but I don't really do thing like that a lot. We each have stuff we do and we don't make a big deal about it. |
I'm French and i do the same. (Although I do recognize midwesterners seem way nicer than us ![]() Now tone is also key, someone can give an order with a please or actually ask something very nicely without a please |
Obviously you don't thank people for things they do for themselves. Way to miss the point of this thread. |
I think everybody missed the obvious point of OP's post. It has nothing to do with Please and Thank-you. Why is her husband bossing her around. That is the problem. Her H should not be her task master, even if he did throw in a please or thank-you. |
