I'll join the club too. When I was in high school I made dinner for my family every night and set the table (despite having 3 siblings, the slackers!). Every night my father would get up after we'd sat down and go fix something additional that I hadn't prepared or get something that I hadn't thought we'd needed. Usually toast (even if I'd made rolls!), or margarine if I'd put out butter (or vice versa), or a different type of juice, or whatever. And he'd act as if he was covering for a mistake I'd made. Grrrr. He still does it too, when I go home (and yes, I still cook dinner at my parents' house sometimes). He never said thanks or nice dinner, or anything. And neither did anyone else for that matter.
No wonder I identified with Cinderella as a kid. Fortunately, it comes with a prince charming, who I'm living happily ever after with now.
