Does your husband do this?

LOL that's a funny statement. Yes, my husband does do that. I'm thinking maybe we should call them into the bathroom and ask them, 'isn't the toilet great?!'

heheheh I know what you mean. Why do they do that? I guess its because they dont do it that often so they want to hear it looks nice. I dont know.LOL I think we should start showing them the toliets we clean. Maybe they will get it.LOL

My husband pulls that. Its like they are looking for an award or something. My husband thinks he doesn't have to help much since I am a sahm and he works. When he does clean he expects loads of praise. Silly I think. I don't say to him when he gets home "ooh look how nice I made the kitchen today" ... sheesh!

No, but if he did....it would drive me crazy!!! My husband much like me...is organized.... I often do comment on the things that I notice that he has done....He also does this to/for me....when he comes into the house that I have cleaned...he always says..."The house looks great, babe". Between us this is just considered common courtesy...

Oh yes, he does indeed. I think he sometimes expects a parade an an awards ceremony. I don't get too bothered by it though, but I do point out there is no sticker chart to add his golden star to, and there will be no parades or speeches given. He doesn't seem to like that much!

Well no my husband does not do that. But I think you should do it to him so he knows how it feels. After your done cleaning the bathroom call him in. And really make him look at the toliet I mean get down in there and really look at it. Then say dont it look better. LOL or clean the dishes and make him look at ever single one. He might just stop calling you to admire his work.

My husband does the same thing. I swear, he's worse than our kids. He's very demanding about it too; even if I'm doing something he expects me to drop what I'm doing to go and see what he did and praise him on it. It drives me insane. The next time he does that, I'm going to wash his underwear and hang them on the fence so that as soon as he comes up the driveway I can yell from the house "Doesn't that look nice?". *ROFL*

It must be a male ego thing. My husband does the same thing. Anytime he does anything at all he drags me to look at it and asks several times if I think it looks nice, or won't it be handy, that kind of thing. Its almost like a small child wanting praise for every little thing, no matter how small. I have thought about pointing out every little thing I do and asking if he likes it, but who has the time.

My husband actually does most of the cleaning at our house. Every weekend he does some big cleaning project. And every weekend he wants me to look. lol This weekend he started cleaning the basement. He got most of the stuff boxed up and ready for our move. He was so excited. He was just like a little kid. I've been pretty sick. I was asleep, and in walks my husband. He woke me up, pulled me down two flights of stairs, and when we got to the basement, I just looked at him. He said "Well? What do you think?" I told him next time he woke me up it better mean the house was on fire. lol

Yes, my husband is the same, then I have make a big deal out of something that I usually do everday and not get any praise for it. Then you think well they have done it once, maybe they will do it more to help out, I must be dreaming when I have these thoughts though because it doesn't usually happen again, lol!

Yup, he does that all the time. it drives me crazy! they say women are fishing for compliments and validation on their looks all the time. maybe men need to take a good look at themselves and their constant fishing for compliments on all achievmenst in the home.

LOL My fiance does the same thing. Maybe since they rarely clean they want to make sure we notice and tell them "Yes, honey you did a good job" lol.

LOL!! Mine does the same exact thing, only I took him around the house one day to point out everything I had accomplished. Did it for a week and he got the point. It was a fantastic week!!

my husband does that too..lol. i think that they, as men, always need the recognition in life when they do something good. lol..funny how alike men really are to other men!!

I know someone who is like that. Hahaha... It really made me laughed remembering him. He always want to receive praise whenever he did something. :-D

LOL I think this is a man thing dear...men want approval. If you have ever listened to Jeff Foxworthy, he does a stint on wife paving the driveway and husband cleans an ashtray and runs out to show her what he has done. Sounds funny and exagerated but its oh so true. My husband does the same thing--he can do one lil thing and wants my IMMEDIATE approval for it LOL

ROFL. You just made my day with that last sentence. Well, your husband and me are quite the same, I RARELY clean. But when I do clean, I clean, EVERYTHING. And I mean everything! It's like, I renovated the whole house. I do like to stop and appreciate my handy work. Maybe your husband just needs affirmation. I mean, he does rarely clean so it could be a big deal for him.

Most men are very lazy in doing cleans.In fact,my husband is even lazier than urs.He seldom cleans himself unless i force him to do so.And if i don't prepare the clean clothes for him to change,he will go on wear the dirty ones.To say nothing of clean the house or toilet.

That is too funny! Mine does the same thing. Like he'll go grocery shopping and then when he comes home, he keeps fishing for the compliments. Like he'll say, "So did I do a good job?" and later, "So, you like all the groceries I bought." Guys really do expect to be coddled and pampered. And, told that they did a good job. It's because their moms did the same thing for them. If you're a mom you'll recognize the behavior. The little kid does something that mommy wants, (like pick up the toys) and Mommy slathers on the praise. I think guys really get used to that kind of praise and adulation. It's addictive, I guess. They won't give us praise for doing housework, cause that kind of stuff is our job, or so they say. But, they certainly expect the praise from us! Next time he does that, say, "Mommy's very proud of you. Here's ten dollar Skippy! Go buy yourself something pretty." That'll cure him.

My husband does the same thing, so I make him acknowledge everything that I do, when he comes home from work I list off everything I did around the house all day and I expect him to make a positivve comment about it.
