Hey SO2,
I know what you mean. My H asked if I wanted anything from the liquor store and I asked him to grab me a couple bottles of wine. My Mom was saying "oh that was nice of him" as if it was the most grand gesture. All I could say was the same as you...yeah, whatever. I told my Mom that his medal is in the mail. Seems those small gestures are just that...small and no where near what they should be doing so it's a little hard to get enthused about it.
HOWEVER...in the spirit of PMA and the season, I suppose we should grateful for every little thing we can.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas S02!
