Can't Win

If I make oatmeal raisin, he wanted chocolate chip.
If I get a new haircut, he asks what's wrong with the hairdresser that she did my hair like that.

My car is too dirty.
The baseboards need to be cleaned.
The kitchen sink smells.
Now one may be thinking: Is her car dirty? Does she have loads of dirt and dust sitting on her baseboards? Does she keep a clean kitchen?
No. No. Yes.

He just looks for the littlest thing, anything, and brings it up. It's really starting to grate on me. Would it hurt him to compliment or thank me once in a while?
