It seems like a small thing, but the one person I’d think would ask me the most never really does

    My wife and I try to ask each other this question every day, along with “what was your favorite part of the day.” It doesn’t always happen. But we make an honest effort.

    How often do you ask them?

      I like to ask every day, but I usually just get one word answers and then sometimes they’ll ask how my day was. One comment here has a totally different perspective on that question, though, and it’s got me thinking maybe they just don’t like it.

    All of my coworkers are extremely cordial so all the time. I always let them know it’s just “going” or “I’m here” with a laughing sigh.

    Just today I jokingly complained to my husband that he always asks our cats how their day was, but he never asks me how my day went. He said “well I know your day was shit, so why bother.” Checkmate.

    Way too often.

    It’s in the past, I don’t need to have feelings about it anymore. Please don’t ask me to form an opinion about a day I’ll never think of again.

    Only when I talk to my mom, but I usually just say “fine”, because I don’t want her to worry or try and fix things, as it usually adds to my stress.

    Same: rarely from the people who really matter to me. It’s almost always the cashier at the grocery store or the bike store. Nice people, but I don’t know if they really care what the answer is, they’re doing they’re best to be nice.

      It’s so kind of you to ask! Yesterday was awesome, I’m pup sitting for my sister so I get to go on early morning walks.

      How did your day go?

        Sorry for the late reply. I got a new job and the work load is pretty overwhelming. It’s fun, but there is a lot of prep work and very little in terms of help or remuneration on that end.
