[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't like the compensation aspect of the conversation because it frames the dialogue as "what's in it for me" or sets up a "tit for tat" approach to marriage and parenting---both of which are unhealthy. [/b] My two cents: aim for an egalatarian marriage, but don't keep score. Don't be lazy; if something needs to be done, then do it. Be a kind partner. Lastly, don't expect or demand praise from your partner (I shouldn't have to thank my husband for doing the laundry). This isn't rocket science. [/quote] +1 I guess this only comes up when the honor system is abused. [/quote]
