[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... do you need to say thank you for it?

A friend brings dinner and stays for dinner once a week to help me since DH has been deployed.  I think she is bugged that I don’t thank her for it even though I never asked her to do it and she doesn’t have to - we do okay on our own.  I mean it is nice having another set of hands at bedtime and my daughter loves it when this friend comes over.

Am I wrong in my thinking?  We both eat the dinner she brings. [/quote]

I say thank you for things that I didn't ask for all the time?

For example, if someone holds a door for me, I say thank you, even though I am capable of holding the door. I expect my kid to thank me when I make dinner even though it happens every night without asking.  When my mom calls me up and offers to pick up my kid from school, which allows me to go to the grocery store in peace I say thank you.

If you actually didn't want it, then you wouldn't say thank you, but if you're enjoying it, and her friend enjoys it, and you eat the dinner, then you thank them.  [/quote]
