I know I mentioned this before, but let me repeat. Once I spent 3 weeks stripping wallpaper off a bedroom wall, patching cracks in the ceiling, and applying several coats of paint in two colors. When I finally finished, I called my W in to have a look. Her response was: "I (W) sure picked nice colors." As if the dang paint just flew onto the walls by itself!
My point is that the amount and difficulty of the work you do may be lost on your W. There have been many times when she has taken credit for a project that I completed, because she pushed me to do it.
I went on strike a few weeks ago, partially to press my concerns about W not sleeping with me alone, and partially to show her all the things I do (during the strike, I still took care of the kids much of the time). The strike was tough for both of us and I don't recommend it for everyone, but I think I made my point.
Also, remember SuprDave. He claimed to do maybe two minutes of chores a day, and was appreciated for it! He must have known how to do those two minutes at just the right time!
It sounds like you are not appreciated and that bums you out.

I hope she doesn't want more 'cause I'm about out of gas.
Sorry, but I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. It's grow or die, and something's bound to some up that she just HAS to have you do.
