Does your husband come home and complain about work?

My husband only works a few miles from home, so when I am not working my 12 hour shift, I will fix lunch for him. He only gets 30 mins for lunch and he spends 5 of that driving and the other complaining about work. Where we live jobs are hard to find, so I can't suggest getting another job. But I certainly would appreciate a "thank you" once in awhile. Do husbands forget that we wives, work, clean, shop, take care of the kids,pay the bills,cook for them and the list just goes on? I am asking too much?
 
Let him vent-work is so frustrating. I wouldn't read too much into it-you make him lunch because he provides for you & you love him. I'm sure he appreciates what you do for him & is just too busy complaining to actually think about how nice it is to have lunch made already for him. Otherwise talk to him some night over dinner & just tell him you feel unapreciated & would like a thank you ever once in a while.
 
He should take his lunch with him. With only 30 minutes and the price of gas it would make more sense. That would give you a mini break when you aren't working.
 
you have to ask yourself are you fixing his lunch to get something in return or are you fixing his lunch because of love? you much check your motives.
 
I do all that but i wouldn't dare ask my husband for a thank you. Its the least i can do after all he works hard to support me and our child. I dont mind listening to his complaints about work. After all, who really likes their job?
 
Yes, my husband b*tches about work from the time he gets home. Guess I've learned to live with it. He does thank me between b*tching though.

You're not asking too much.
