Huh. That's quite a reframe.

Thank you for sharing this. It's very astute of you to flip your perspective this way. I think I'll steal that reframe to remind myself of the importance of managing home upkeep and relationships. I've been getting lazy about both, due to lack of positive feedback. "Why even bother when I'm the only one trying?". Very discouraging, makes it easy to forget that I was doing it for my own benefit in the first place.
