Usually it's more like this:
All joking aside, though... I think he stopped helping clean because I usually nitpick so much about what I want thrown away or not, how good he scrubs the dishes or not... I can't help that I do it better and I'm just trying to let him know that it can be done better if he's going to do it at all, right? Better to tell him so he learns instead of me having to redo everything, even though the sentiment is sweet... But whatever. I'm pleased with the work he did today. Thanks dear! ♥
