First cheerleading practice was tonight and it was good. I have to admit I was a little worried about how it would all pan out, but I think there is a cheerleader in all of us. I think Erin is a natural, she is just on it! I have to say for myself I am a little questionable, but who's looking at me??? No ONE!!
Brittany received her progress report today and I have to say I am good with everything she brought home... Ok, R U SITTING DOWN?? Brittany got an AAAAAAA in Geometry. Yes you are reading that right. She has never done that good, so now that I am writing about it I am sure I just gave her bad karma or something, but I am real happy about that one. She in all brought home A's, B's and 1 D (which was 2 points from a C). So all in all I am happy with what she done.
Now here is the kicker thanks to DEE. So now lets bring up another issue concerning your man, husband, babies daddy, or whatever you want to call him today.
Question:::: Why is it when the man does something that is "out of the norm" for them we are to praise them, pamper them, reward them and make them feel like they just completed the freakin triathlon??? We do this same stuff day after day with out any gratitude, thanks, or just plain out appreciation and when the man does it we are to bow down to them and actually point it out to them and tell them thank you???? Why is this??? Someone please tell me when we as women get this and have ever received this?? Or am I just getting short changed on this one too?
What has me asking this? I will tell you even if you don't want to hear it.
I run my butt off everyday to get kids picked up, taken here or there after I get off of work, well today was no different except I had a little more than usual to get done, so Dee suggested I get Chance to do some of it for me. I did, I emailed him a list of stuff Brittany needed for her game tomorrow and he done it without any lip to me. Okay, so now Dee tells me I should tell him Thank You for doing that stuff for me! WTF? Why? Do I get told Thank You for anything??? NO! Okay, so while I was vomiting in my mouth--- I told him thank you for getting the stuff Brittany needed. I done this with no animosity or hard feelings (I think) I tried really hard. Anyways I done it, because Dee tells me that the Man likes to feel needed and wanted and known that he done something good and that they need to hear this stuff. What about ME!!!!
I know I have just rambled on like a mad woman, but that just gets to me for some reason. Why is it he does something good 1 time I have to tuck my butt between my legs and praise him for it? I told Dee that exact same thing and she says I just need to do it. Maybe she has some hidden agenda, who knows, but I done it and when you read this DEE you better be telling him what he needs to do for ME!! Can you tell I am feeling just a little resentment at the moment? I wanna feel the Love too darnet and I just ain't feeling it right now. Dee says she is now my marriage counselor. I will let you know how she is doing and if she has an opening I will forward your information on to her. My spot may be available soon if I don't see some results soon. He He :)

Men do not need to be praised for doing things they should do. That's life. When was your last " Thank You"?
She is right, I am sorry but she is. It's called postive reinformcement. It's kinda your fault he doesn't do these things in the first place, because you just do them instead, so if you want to him tho help, he kinda needs to be trained. I can't believe I just wrote that! Dee I am with ya! As much as it sucks, guys needs praise like that. If toby goes to the grocery store I ahve to thank him like 13 times or he pouts.
