I don't mind doing stuff without getting praised for it. The private knowledge that someone else's happiness/a better environment/etc was caused by my actions/words/etc is good enough for me.
But having nothing said is different from having something that I can only describe as a lie shouted at me.
"HOW ABOUT YOU CLEAN UP THE TRASH AROUND THE TRASH CAN?!"
(mind that the trash can isn't even mine, nor is the trash mine)
I literally did that yesterday. I didn't even know that you were expecting me to do it. I thought you were expecting her to do it...
This isn't the first time I've done something nice and then "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO [nice thing that I actually did in the last week, the results of which are actually very easy to see in like 5 seconds depending on where we are in the house]?!?!?!"
I can't get out yet. The circumstances are complicated. I want to get out soon.
People think that family is a nice small talk topic, but it's not. Using family for a small talk topic is based on the assumption that home violence doesn't exist (and other assumptions, like no deaths)...
A lot of the advertising I see for stuff like Father's Day and Thanksgiving and Christmas makes me extremely uncomfortable, too. I get that plenty of people have good relationships with their family members--that's not my issue. And most of the advertising is fine and tasteful; I have no issue with that, no matter how uncomfortable it makes me. What I have issue with is how some advertising is blatantly ignorant of how not everyone has a "typical" family or even family they even want to acknowledge. You want more sales? Don't bloody estrange me or send me running away because of your horrible ads with poor taste that make me relive all of the brutally atypical things about my relationship with my father ("Remember that one day he found out about your super awesome grades?!" Yeah no please don't try to be "relatable" like that). Ugh

Was your pet adopted December 18, any year, or December 24, 2011? It is most likely an older pet! CLICK ME to identify your pet!
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.
Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
