On my phone sorry for errors I typed this fast

This is ridiculous. I will keep it short. My son wants to get a thank you when he does was he is suppose too. Like if he put the dishes away and he came up and told me. I said okay and he told me I should show some gradatude for doing it. He keeps doing it, he makes his bed, takes his laundry downstairs all of it. Turning in his homework. Doing his chores that I pay him for. We got into a huge argument about it and he thinks I am an ass.

My husband also got into an argument about it and he thinks showing appreciation is good and it would be nice for a thank you when he takes out the trash. I blew up and listed everything I do where I get zero thanks and I don’t expect it since it’s literally needs to get done. they aren’t talking to me

I came here to see if I am crazy.
