[quote=Anonymous]We always say thank you to whoever cooked, and I didn't think about it much until I noticed that when DH's family visits, they do not say thank you and it feels very rude. They also don't thank each other in their own house as much when someone cooks.

I remember once hosting his entire family at our house and DH spent a bunch of time planning a meal and getting it ready (I helped a little but mostly was taking care of a new baby at the time). He also entertained his parents while he was cooking, just being a very gracious host. And the only person who thanked him for cooking or told him it tasted good was me. It was crazy to me. It was literally hours of work and he'd clearly pulled out all the stops for his family, and they didn't even bother with "oh thanks for cooking" or "looks good" or whatever. He was really hurt, but that is just how they are. I'm so glad we aren't like that. I think we are happier and our relationships are healthier. We don't just expect people to do things for us without acknowledgement or thanks.[/quote]
