Can we have a "brag about your partner" thread ?

I am always reminded how great dh is when I read stories from stressed out mamas who aren't getting enough sleep and are getting flak from their partners about the division of parenting responsibilities. Since ds was born, dh has been getting up every morning with dd, regardless of when she wakes up. 4:30 a.m., 6 a.m., whenever, when she wakes up, he gets up with her and doesn't give her any grumps or guilt for it (and he's NOT a morning person!). Even on the mornings after his radio show, when he doesn't get home until 3 a.m. He makes sure she has breakfast, does the diaper/potty routine, and will take her down to the playground or out for a walk, sometimes for 3 hours, until ds and I are done with his morning cluster nursing and I can get up and give dd a turn nursing. He doesn't ignore her at all, he gets right down in the dirt and plays with her. This way she doesn't feel neglected or rejected for having to wait for nursing time -- she gets to play with her dadoo instead! If ds goes back to sleep instead of cluster feeding, he keeps dd and lets me sleep! Then he goes to work and comes right home after, eager to see us.

He makes sure I feel appreciated and is considerate of my needs and feelings, and it just blows me away to see him in action with his children.

Today is my partner's last day of work as he is starting four months of parental leave. :

He does at least half of the housework, and all of the laundry since our basement skeeves me out, and our basement stairs are difficult to navigate when one is 9 months pregnant.

He is funny and loving and wonderful.

MY DP (most wonderful woman in the world, sorry ladies, you come a close second though ) is awesome.

She thinks about me and is concerned for me as much as I am for her. Surprises me with things that are unexpected and is a wonderful mother.

She even claims she likes my cooking

Good idea for a thread. My dh wakes up with dd every morning and feeds her breakfast. Since I am not a morning person, this helps me get a chance to wake up fully and recover from sleep. I should appreciate him more, I guess I will make his fave for dinner while he takes a nap.

My DH is still sober. I thank him for the commitment he is making to our new life everyday.

My dh does most of the house work, cooks most dinners, helps with laundry, and lets me get on MDC while he plays with dd. I need to stop bragging!

My husband works really hard to keep our family provided for while I get to stay home and he never complains about having to work at 4 am or pulling double shifts. He is one of the most intelligent people I know and has helped me grow so much into a decent human being in the time since we met. I know I need to do more to let him know I appreciate him! He's got a sexy , too.

my dh drove 10 miles out of his way to come and see me at work the other morning, even though he had worked all night, just because he wanted to see me. No more reason than that.

His face lights up when he sees me. And mine lights up when I see him.

My husband busts his butt every day of the week (that means all SEVEN) running his business, he is looking at offices to rent now because he is too busy and needs to hire someone so the home office just won't be cutting it any longer He does it to provide for us financially, and to provide us all the freedom of schedule that makes our family life so much fun. He may work every day, but we always have dinner together and he handles ds's bath every single night and makes time to play for at least a little while every day. We go places and do things as a family, most often because dh initiates it (I always think I am too tired, until we actually get somewhere fun ).

He is a great and patient daddy and my best supporter.

And today, he scooped the litter box. Without even being asked :

I am very grateful for our mellow, happy marriage. My DH always says how attractive I am whether I am pregnant or not, whatever size I am, if I'm in shape or not. He has never said a single negative thing to me about my appearance, just the opposite. I consider myself a secure and confident person but he really build me up further.

We just had our third baby 6 weeks ago. Someone he works with said to him "Have you got three kids now?!" As if that were a bad thing and also unusual. My DH said "You haven't seen my wife! I can't control myself around her!" - The other great part is who knows if this conversation really happened, I have no idea, but my DH claims it did :
