[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We thank each other for the things we do - even though they are our responsibilities. It would really irritate me if the thanking was one-sided. [/quote]

This. DH thanks me pretty regularly for everything I do for the kids and I thank him about as much for stuff around the house and busting his @ss at the office. I think It's important to recognize the contributions both of us are making to keep our family running - a lot of it is thankless work so it helps to have your partner recognize it. [/quote]

Same for us (although we both work so we're each thanking each other for kid stuff and work stuff).  Even for duties we split pretty evenly like getting up with DD at night, we still thank each other when it's the other persons turn to take care of her because we honestly ARE thankful.  I love not having to wake up with her on the nights DH takes the night shift.  I love getting ready by myself in the morning while DH takes care of her, rather than trying to entertain her while I'm showering and getting dressed.  And he feels the same way when he gets to sleep on the nights I get up with her and when I'm taking care of her in the morning while he gets ready.

However, if he was only doing 10% of the housework or parenting, wasn't thanking me for doing the other 90%, then wanted a cookie every time he did something... No.  Not happening.  [/quote]
