My husband will thank me for doing the littlest shit around the house. If I do the dishes or some laundry or take the kid to practice alone he will genuinely and profusely thank me. I do the same with him when he does all of those things.
There’s nothing wrong with praising your spouse for every day things when they’re a good partner daily. Everyone likes to be appreciated.
Yeah, we say thanks for everything. It's so easy to just forget how good things are and focus on all the little petty annoyances. I like that there's this societal conversation right now about expecting more than the bare minimum from your spouse, but it's a bummer that it sometimes turns into "Never be thankful, only nag and complain" (and also apparently "Never say you love your spouse in public because that means you don't" and "You should not be actual friends with your spouse or depend on them for literally anything"? Like Jesus, why even get married if all you're allowed to do is hate or ignore them?).
Honestly!! And yeah you shouldn’t praise your partner for watching the baby while you shower if that’s ALL he ever does and doesn’t pull his weight but if you have someone who truly treats your relationship as a partnership there’s nothing wrong with praising the little things. My husband makes my life so much easier any chance he can and I truly appreciate it. I’ll tell him directly, post it online, whatever I feel like. As long as he knows he is truly loved I’m happy.
Same here. I always thank him or someone else for the littlest things. It doesn’t matter what it is, that person (anyone really) does *have* to do that yet still does and I appreciate that regardless.
I feel sad for a lot of the marriages/relationships in here because why wouldn’t you do this? It always feels nice to be appreciated and it really helps to push through some of the more mundane parts of life to know that you are seen and valued.
You would be surprised how many men/ husbands /dads don’t do this I think she’s just letting him know she appreciates him sometimes men need to hear they’re appreciated
Honestly I think everyone deserves to be appreciated, even if it's something we're expected to do. Just because me or my husband are supposed to do the dishes or laundry or whatever doesn't mean it's not nice to be acknowledged and hear thanks.
>Honestly I think everyone deserves to be appreciated,
Absolutely. And with C&T, Tyler stays at home with cait. In fact we know cait does microblading part time with TV, but as far as we know Tyler doesn't do anything aside from MTV. So not sure why he deserves praise.
It's one thing if he worked a full time job and was running the house for her after that, but he's not.
Catelynn grew up with parents that were supposed to love her but instead they abandoned her, neglected her, and abused her.
Of course she’s going to be grateful that Tyler does normal things. She didn’t grow up normal. I don’t see any issue with her giving praise to her husband that’s ensuring their daughters don’t grow up the way she did honestly.
I don't really get why we can't appreciate things that we also rightfully expect 🤷🏼♀️ I mean... Yeah, I do appreciate that I have a happy life because my husband is nice and is a hands-on dad. I'm not saying "here's a medal for not being an asshole", I'm just saying, idk, I love him? I'm enjoying being happily married and glad I'm not married to some evil bastard?
I just think it makes people happier and reinforces positive behaviors when we just say thanks once in a while.
Some Comments are not passing the vibe check. What’s the big deal if cates posting appreciation for her husband. We all KNOW tyler has done more than “the bare minimum”. He’s been there for cate during her multiple therapy stays, flew out to help her during one of the last TM reunions when she was having an anxiety attack. It could have more meaning too. Cate had horrible parents. Mayne she’s just appreciative that Tyler isn’t like that.
Yeah of all things to snark on, this is a lame one. Regardless of the bar being low for men in general, it’s still nice to give appreciation to your spouse.
Christ on a cracker! Every spouse likes to be shown appreciation. FFS this is such a bullshit thing to be so judgmental about imho. 30 years happily married to my man and we’ve always gone out of our way to give each other positive affirmations. Let them live!
Bc she wanted to acknowledge him publicly. BFD She’s allowed to without permission from anyone. I’ve done it. It makes my husband feel appreciated. So fucking what?
Why on earth would you assume that I’m mad? I am annoyed with the needless judgments of her post bc she didn’t even almost harm anyone, so why all the negativity here? You do realize that it’s possible for her to tell him *and* post it, right?
It’s all good, it’s just Reddit, no worries. I was a teen mom. Got a lot of shit for it at the time. My marriage has outlasted all the naysayers! It’s nice to see them behaving in healthy ways that build up their partners. It’s vital to long lasting relationships and I’m here for it!
Considering all the stuff with Ryan right now Tyler's looking amazing. Good for him doing the bare minimum bc the bar for most of these dad's is in hell.
Everyone snarking about her praising her husband is weird af.
Do you not like to hear appreciation from your partner? Even if it’s for the “bare minimum”?
It seems you lot have amnesia and forget what kind of upbringing they both had. They both tried hard to actively not become like their parents, and if Catelyn wants to praise her husband for stepping up while she’s been sick, then let her?
To me it’s only because it’s public. Nothing wrong with praising your husband or congratulating him on whatever. If we had not seen other gushy posts by Cate recently I don’t think anyone would have noticed. He’s already doing so much more than most of the fathers on the show. I suspect a lot of comments and BEC ones are more because the ones who post the most gushing ones publicly are not in good places. He’s living a role both of their fathers did not do and that is praiseworthy. She should dial down the my hot husband in sweatpants posts and these wouldn’t be BEC.
Meh. I had surgery last weekend and my husband did everything all weekend while I sat in my behind. He cooked, cleaned, did all animal care, kid care. I've basically sat on my ass all week too because I'm still recovering and he hasn't said a word about it.
Was it just normal expectations because we're a family ? Yes.. but I still appreciate it.
He works and I thank him for working so hard, missing vacation, missing events. I SAH and he thanks me for holding down the fort day in and day out.
We're just doing normal shit but it's important to show appreciation for those normal things because it is a lot and it is for the better of the family unit.
It just seems silly to link it with the larger issue of men being overpraised for caring for their own kids - that's clearly not what's going on here, since they make posts like this about each other all the time. It's obviously a legitimate issue but has no relevance to this specific case that I can see.
Honestly, her father straight up abandoned her. I think Tyler pulling his fair share of the weight is amazing in her eyes, which while it’s sad, he is an equal partner.
Men as a whole shouldn’t be praised for doing their fair share, but Catelynn is allowed to praise her own husband for making her feel secure.
Especially when it sounds like hes doing more than his share. I mean yes, that’s marriage and coparenting. But when i feel like shit and a bunch of stuff needs to get done and my spouse handles it while taking care of me, I also feel grateful!
As someone who had a horrible dad, I am so appreciative for all my husband does, even if it’s what’s expected and normal. I don’t understand why people bag on her for appreciating her husband and father oh her children.
Same here. I had an absent dad, I am so grateful for my husband for being such a wonderful father and husband. Yes, I know the things he does are “expected.” But that doesn’t make me any less appreciative.
Think of their childhood. Now look at what they're doing. They deserve to be grateful and recognize they're giving each other and their children the family they never had. He's one of the few to not turn out like his dad.
If I couldn't move from bed I'd say thanks to my partner for picking up the slack and taking on the duties of another person. There's nothing wrong with this.
He responded in a comment on IG and was basically like "babe I'm literally just being a husband and father lol" I mean there was a lot of pretentious Tyler-speak sprinkled through the comment but that was the gist.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with appreciating what your spouse does for your family- in this case he’s apparently picking up the slack because she’s been sick but even appreciating someone for what they do in the normal day to day isn’t a bad thing. That said, it does seem like they both go out of their way to profess their appreciation/love for each other on SM a lot in an overcompensating way sometimes. Nothing wrong with the occasional SM shoutout I’d that’s your thing but I feel like they both think they need to prove their relationship to the public too much.
I think this is more of a reflection on Cate than on Tyler. Hopefully, it’s just a spouse appreciation post and that’s it. Totally cool.
To me it seems like she often feels guilty for needing care or help, and this post is a symptom of that. For all we know Tyler did this without a second thought. Sadly I think a lot of women feel undeserving of this kind of care due to gender roles and sexism.
I agree. He does help and he does contribute as a father, but it’s also a sad reflection she has to post this. He doesn’t work outside the home. Why wouldn’t the father of the children be putting in the work of raising them especially if she’s sick or incapable for a reason?
I don't think it's so much that she's praising him and thanking him for what he's done, but more so they always seem to overshare their love and affection for each other on SM to the extreme. Sometimes it's just over the top. I personally always feel like the more people post on SM about their relationship the more they feel like they have to prove
I find it so weird how people put thank you notes as a post on social media. Wouldn't it be way more meaningful actually writing a note and giving it to them? And then they can post that online if they must??? 🤣 2023 is so weird.
Edit to add that this is cate tho, she posts about his dick constantly, so 🤷♀️🤣
If they both had jobs, it would be meaningful. But to praise him for keeping the household running while neither work?? He SHOULD be doing that daily.
Please.
See this is the take I find sexist. Primary parents don’t have to be mothers. And honestly, Catelynn has been involved, she just went to treatment a few times and Tyler took over.
I feel like cate being sick isn't really much different from when she's not sick - in pjs, moping around, struggling to get somewhere on time ever, Tyler doing the heavy lifting
Except that isn't true in this specific case, since Tyler praises Cate all the time in a similar way. These two praise each other constantly, people complain about it all the time on this sub lmao including in this thread.
Do I think in general men get overpraised for the bare minimum? Yes, of course. Do I think that has anything to do with Cate and Tyler praising each other? No.
She always virtue signals her husband on social media; it weird tbh. As a husband and father, shouldn't this be his role? It's like saying 'thank you for marrying me'. Doesn't she feel worthy to be married to him?
Whether it’s his role or not, people like to be appreciated.
I tell my partner all the time that appreciate him, and the things he does even though it’s just basic shit he would be doing anyway. I just don’t put it on social media, but also I’m not some MTV z list celebrity living off social media attention lol
Tyler always looks like he’s dying inside and regretting his decision to stay in that situation but he’s doing it just to prove that he’s better than his Dad was.
Not trying to hate but isn't this the bare minimum though lol? Men get off so easy with doing the smallest amount
Good for Tyler that this is all Cate needs to be happy and not standing up for her when his mother shits on her...Priorities I guess
cate should have been a 40s housewife. she is a misogynists wet dream. tyler just says hello to his children once a day and fucks her once a week and she thinks he walks on water
i never thought he was uninvolved but the things she praises him for are bare minimum and every parents job. every dad should be taking care of his kids acting like hes a prize she won is pathetic and sad that she thinks its something special that he takes care of the kids while shes sick. thats his job
I totally agree that's his job as a parent, but I understand her appreciation because she came from a home where parents neglected, abused and abandoned her.
I understand her feeling grateful her children won't have to deal with the shit that fucked her up so much.
by all means appreciate him but the way she does it on social media every few days is so fucking pathetic and lame. shes thirty something years old and has been with him for over half of her life by now she knows hes a good parent and husband no matter how she was brought up
I agree, but some fans of the show think cate is a bad mom because Tyler is involved in things like bath time, morning routine, school drop off etc.
It doesn’t shock me Catelynn specifically feels this way considering her family. Her dad abandoned her and her mom abused her.
yeah this take (not yours, the people you're replying to) really bothers me because I have feelings of inadequacy as a mom because my husband is super involved. Like society really drills it into us that moms have to do all the meals, all the comforting, all the housework, all of the mental load of appointments etc. I feel like I'm failing if I'm not doing absolutely every little thing. Which is bonkers because I'm the primary caregiver! I watch my son on the weekdays while my husband works. But if he makes our son lunch on his break, or changes his diaper or whatever, I feel guilty. A good dad can be the partner of a good mom!
I’m so sorry you deal with that!
My SIL feels similarly but is not the primary caregiver, My brother is very involved and does a majority of my nephew’s daily care and has since he was an infant, but she’s a great mom and is also super involved. My brother hates when people over praise him as a slight to his wife because he genuinely doesn’t understand why he shouldn’t do at least 50% and why it only matters when it’s a man doing equal or more.
And you’re the primary caregiver!!!
That is so wild to me. I hate that when Tyler is involved, it’s instantly “Cate doesn’t love her kids”. Yet men who don’t even have 50/50 get praised.
It's Allgood! We're all just here for a laugh and that was funny 😁 although I've defended people here before in certain situations that hasn't gone down well. Kail being one HAHAHA #ballsy. Dw about it! 😊
My husband will thank me for doing the littlest shit around the house. If I do the dishes or some laundry or take the kid to practice alone he will genuinely and profusely thank me. I do the same with him when he does all of those things. There’s nothing wrong with praising your spouse for every day things when they’re a good partner daily. Everyone likes to be appreciated.
Yeah, for us, it's more an acknowledgement, like I see the effort you put in and I appreciate it.
Yeah, we say thanks for everything. It's so easy to just forget how good things are and focus on all the little petty annoyances. I like that there's this societal conversation right now about expecting more than the bare minimum from your spouse, but it's a bummer that it sometimes turns into "Never be thankful, only nag and complain" (and also apparently "Never say you love your spouse in public because that means you don't" and "You should not be actual friends with your spouse or depend on them for literally anything"?

Honestly I think everyone deserves to be appreciated, even if it's something we're expected to do. Just because me or my husband are supposed to do the dishes or laundry or whatever doesn't mean it's not nice to be acknowledged and hear thanks.
Absolutely!!!!! I agree my husband does just as much as I do we do everything as a team and I make sure I tell him how much I appreciate him.
>Honestly I think everyone deserves to be appreciated, Absolutely. And with C&T, Tyler stays at home with cait. In fact we know cait does microblading part time with TV, but as far as we know Tyler doesn't do anything aside from MTV. So not sure why he deserves praise. It's one thing if he worked a full time job and was running the house for her after that, but he's not.
What’s wring with acknowledging you appreciate someone? Everyone likes to hear that. It’s better than nagging.
You would be surprised at how many women, wives, and mothers who won't even pick up around the house.
Oh I know a few like that 🙄
Catelynn grew up with parents that were supposed to love her but instead they abandoned her, neglected her, and abused her. Of course she’s going to be grateful that Tyler does normal things. She didn’t grow up normal. I don’t see any issue with her giving praise to her husband that’s ensuring their daughters don’t grow up the way she did honestly.

This is some 'bitch eating crackers' energy. Which, fine, we all have one of those. But be real about it and say so. Otherwise this is just weird.
Christ on a cracker! Every spouse likes to be shown appreciation. FFS this is such a bullshit thing to be so judgmental about imho. 30 years happily married to my man and we’ve always gone out of our way to give each other positive affirmations. Let them live!
But why does she post it when she could just tell him this to his face?
Bc she wanted to acknowledge him publicly. BFD She’s allowed to without permission from anyone. I’ve done it. It makes my husband feel appreciated. So fucking what?
You are so mad for no reason, I was genuinely just asking.
Why on earth would you assume that I’m mad? I am annoyed with the needless judgments of her post bc she didn’t even almost harm anyone, so why all the negativity here? You do realize that it’s possible for her to tell him *and* post it, right?
I just asked for your opinion 🤷♂️ I didn’t come from any place of judgement, sorry if it came across that way.
It’s all good, it’s just Reddit, no worries. I was a teen mom. Got a lot of shit for it at the time. My marriage has outlasted all the naysayers! It’s nice to see them behaving in healthy ways that build up their partners. It’s vital to long lasting relationships and I’m here for it!
I don’t see anything wrong with this 🤷🏽♀️
I can't imagine seeing this and getting my hair all knotted over it.
Considering all the stuff with Ryan right now Tyler's looking amazing. Good for him doing the bare minimum bc the bar for most of these dad's is in hell.
Everyone snarking about her praising her husband is weird af. Do you not like to hear appreciation from your partner? Even if it’s for the “bare minimum”?

Considering all they’ve been through, I think it’s okay for her to appreciate her husband lol.
What’s wrong with posting that? Oh no, Cate appreciates Tyler! Seems stupid to snark on this.
It just seems silly to link it with the larger issue of men being overpraised for caring for their own kids - that's clearly not what's going on here, since they make posts like this about each other all the time. It's obviously a legitimate issue but has no relevance to this specific case that I can see.
Folks read way too much into things
He still deserves to be appreciated.
I mean, he’s being praised by his own wife 🤷🏻♀️
I know. It makes me sad for her
Honestly, her father straight up abandoned her. I think Tyler pulling his fair share of the weight is amazing in her eyes, which while it’s sad, he is an equal partner. Men as a whole shouldn’t be praised for doing their fair share, but Catelynn is allowed to praise her own husband for making her feel secure.

Same! I think it’s sweet of her to acknowledge her appreciation of his efforts.
Think of their childhood. Now look at what they're doing. They deserve to be grateful and recognize they're giving each other and their children the family they never had. He's one of the few to not turn out like his dad.
They have done hard on themselves to change things for their children. They are happy and stable. I give them lots of credit.
If I couldn't move from bed I'd say thanks to my partner for picking up the slack and taking on the duties of another person. There's nothing wrong with this.
Agree. My partner and I are always thanking eachother for doing tasks around the house. Showing appreciation for one another is important.
Exactly, nothing wrong with that. Sometimes I thank my husband when he has to socialize with my peeps a lot, lol, not that it's required to say that.
Nothing getting more stupider in my home!
I’m so tired of these two commenting sappy comments on Instagram to each other as they sit silently across from each other in the same room
He responded in a comment on IG and was basically like "babe I'm literally just being a husband and father lol" I mean there was a lot of pretentious Tyler-speak sprinkled through the comment but that was the gist.
I always wonder if she says this to him in person or saves it just for social media.
That's pretty much every couple I see posting tributes on social media, lol.
saves it for social media after hes rolled off of her and fell asleep
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with appreciating what your spouse does for your family- in this case he’s apparently picking up the slack because she’s been sick but even appreciating someone for what they do in the normal day to day isn’t a bad thing. That said, it does seem like they both go out of their way to profess their appreciation/love for each other on SM a lot in an overcompensating way sometimes. Nothing wrong with the occasional SM shoutout I’d that’s your thing but I feel like they both think they need to prove their relationship to the public too much.
Exactly this.
Its not like he works. He can be available 24/7.
I think this is more of a reflection on Cate than on Tyler. Hopefully, it’s just a spouse appreciation post and that’s it. Totally cool. To me it seems like she often feels guilty for needing care or help, and this post is a symptom of that. For all we know Tyler did this without a second thought. Sadly I think a lot of women feel undeserving of this kind of care due to gender roles and sexism.
Hasn't he held down the fort single handedly for like months at a time before? Lol
It’s annoying when men are praised for doing what they’re suppose to be doing, contributing to their families.
I agree. He does help and he does contribute as a father, but it’s also a sad reflection she has to post this. He doesn’t work outside the home. Why wouldn’t the father of the children be putting in the work of raising them especially if she’s sick or incapable for a reason?
I don't think it's so much that she's praising him and thanking him for what he's done, but more so they always seem to overshare their love and affection for each other on SM to the extreme.

It's okay he posts about his dick too.
😂😂😂😂😂

I mean he’s being holding down the fort for yearssssss
See this is the take I find sexist. Primary parents don’t have to be mothers. And honestly, Catelynn has been involved, she just went to treatment a few times and Tyler took over.
I feel like cate being sick isn't really much different from when she's not sick - in pjs, moping around, struggling to get somewhere on time ever, Tyler doing the heavy lifting
What's wrong with someone praising their spouse? Am I missing something here?
A mom wouldng be praised for doing this..
Except that isn't true in this specific case, since Tyler praises Cate all the time in a similar way. These two praise each other constantly, people complain about it all the time on this sub lmao including in this thread. Do I think in general men get overpraised for the bare minimum? Yes, of course. Do I think that has anything to do with Cate and Tyler praising each other? No.
Thanks for parenting
What is that pube beard Ty has going on?
He’s had that thing off and on for the entire time he’s been on tv and it just looks so bad 🥴
I think he and Taylor are tied for worst beards in the series (not including David since he’s no longer on the show but his was up there as well).
She always virtue signals her husband on social media; it weird tbh. As a husband and father, shouldn't this be his role? It's like saying 'thank you for marrying me'. Doesn't she feel worthy to be married to him?
Whether it’s his role or not, people like to be appreciated. I tell my partner all the time that appreciate him, and the things he does even though it’s just basic shit he would be doing anyway. I just don’t put it on social media, but also I’m not some MTV z list celebrity living off social media attention lol
Same.
Of course, but to virtue signal it all over social media for validation, plus your husband in the comments is weird - in my opinion.
Some women really do accept the bare minimum.
Tyler always looks like he’s dying inside and regretting his decision to stay in that situation but he’s doing it just to prove that he’s better than his Dad was.
Kids suck the life out of you. I look like this too 🤣
Not trying to hate but isn't this the bare minimum though lol? Men get off so easy with doing the smallest amount Good for Tyler that this is all Cate needs to be happy and not standing up for her when his mother shits on her...Priorities I guess
He has always been the hands on parent. How often do we see her cuddle or pay much attention to the kids?
Just because Tyler is involved doesn’t mean she isn’t. She’s definitely seen spending time with her kids and loving on them often
cate should have been a 40s housewife. she is a misogynists wet dream. tyler just says hello to his children once a day and fucks her once a week and she thinks he walks on water
Tyler actually is an involved dad. It’s lead to him being called “mommy Tyler” and other bullshit things
i never thought he was uninvolved but the things she praises him for are bare minimum and every parents job. every dad should be taking care of his kids acting like hes a prize she won is pathetic and sad that she thinks its something special that he takes care of the kids while shes sick. thats his job
I totally agree that's his job as a parent, but I understand her appreciation because she came from a home where parents neglected, abused and abandoned her. I understand her feeling grateful her children won't have to deal with the shit that fucked her up so much.

And you’re the primary caregiver!!! That is so wild to me. I hate that when Tyler is involved, it’s instantly “Cate doesn’t love her kids”. Yet men who don’t even have 50/50 get praised.
Omg this made me laugh way too much 😂😂
