[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We are already in counseling.  He doesnt want to help around the house because I don't show enough gratitude for the things he does do ([b]daycare pickups, grocery shopping, taking out trash[/b]).  He says no matter what he does I am not satisfied.  I do think part of the problem is that I don't respect him because he spends all his time on Reddit or TV, unless he is helping me with DD or something I asked him to do. But he does't do things of his own accord.  I picked the wrong person but now this is what I'm working with so tryjng to figure out how to improve things.[/quote]

When we were a 2 working parent family, those things still had to get done. They did.

I understand that people have issues with feeling appreciated, but honestly, demanding appreciation for things that you should be doing just in the course of being a responsible partner and parent is a bit beyond the pale. Does he express appreciation for the things that you do around the house? [/quote]
