I often did things, without being asked, or being asked, and I thought I did a good job, only to be met with here's how you did it wrong. After a while of these, to he!! with it, ...
Another example: Yesterday I spend a long time fixing up an area in our house that badly needed it. A spur of the moment project that badly needed it - I had some time and took it on - trim, paint, etc and now it looks great. Vacuumed and cleaned area all up and proudly showed the improvement to to my w...her response "You didn't put the vacuum cleaner away"
D@mn It!
I'm not saying this to vent (I'm used to it so I'm not angry about this one incident), just as an example of what NOT to do.
The correct answer was "Hey Wow!, that looks Great! Thank You!" I would have felt great, and the vacuum would have found its way home without her having to say anything.
