This particular author’s arguments are irritating, self-centered, and over-generalized, so I’m not really defending the piece. But the author is quite explicit that her husband does any task asked; what she’s asking for is that he take more initiative and not require praise when he does so. I agree with many other commenters that coming to consensus on “everyone in the family is expected to spend 2 minutes every evening putting away things they’ve taken out without requiring nagging or praise” is a very low bar and should not be a hard communication problem to solve in a healthy relationship.
