[whiteandyellowiris]

cared for
or just well looked after ?

[Chickpea1983]

We just moved house, but I am 22 weeks, so I was only responsible for cleaning kitchen cupboards and making cups of tea, while my DH and the removal men huffed and puffed all day in 30+ degree heat non-stop for about 9 hours. But my DH still gave ME a foot massage at the end of the day cause my feet hurt from all the standing around. He is totally precious

[Chickpea1983]

What about you OP? Do you have a lovely story to share??

[whiteandyellowiris]

mo, my dh hasn't done one nice thing, ive been claring the loft, clearing the babys room etc
he comes in from working moaning about the mess etc geneally being a twat to me

so that's why I wanted to hear about what nice dhs/dps do

so I can say it to dh

[whiteandyellowiris]

mo?

opps I mean no

[Evi1984]

My dh has been pretty good doesn't want me doing anything and will take care of all housework. Also stays up at night when I'm sick and spent early hours of the morning holding an ice pack to my head when I woke up with a migraine. I'm a little spoilt.

[AnotherStitchInTime]

Gone out at midnight to get me craving foods.

Cleaned the cat litter tray.

Cooked lovely food.

Made me snacks.

Foot and back massages.

Looking after older children while I napped.

Put up cots, decorated kids room, helped clear junk.

[PoopMaster]

With DD1 I was craving Big Macs just for the sauce...DH found a recipe online and made me up a jar so he wouldn't have to drive 30 mins each way to our nearest MacD's

Thought that was much nicer than telling me to bog off

[mrspaddy]

He hasn't had the duvet for a while and I didn't know!!
Hangs out all washing. Painting the nursery at the minute.
Leaves little notes from him and the bump under my cereal bowl that he gets ready before he leaves for work.

[mrspaddy]

Oh.. his pockets had little treats like orange lollies that I love at the minute.

[Titsalinabumsquash]

I had to say in hospital with DS1 whilst pregnant with DS3 and DP got out of bed and brought me surprise hobnobs late at night because I was craving them :)

[LittlePeaPod]

My DF is lovely. He won't let me do anything and says that the most important thing I need to do is relax, not get stressed and rest because making a baby is hard work on my body. Ohhhh love him. He holds my hair when I am sick, gets me water and as he can't cook he will order whatever takeaware I can cope with when I am too ill to cook. His also hired a couple of lovely ladies to clean the house twice a week because the cleaning products make me feel sick. But most importantly he told his very oppinonated and overbearing mother (who I love to bits dontt get me wrong) to behave herself and keep her nose out. His told her she is in trouble if she so much as says/does anything which upsets me . When I have really bad days (pucking etc) he will come home from work with a gorgeous bunch of flowers because he knows they never fail to cheer me up. I know from speaking to friends I am very lucky and spoilt. His gorgeous and I love him.

Sorry to hear your DF isn't doing some nice things for you Op

[Beckett3]

I don't have a 'D'H or 'D'P, he decided to have a midlife crisis leving me at 3 months pregnant and with our 3 children but I thought I'd write about how wonderful my eldest has been, she's 14.

She's taken over full cat litter duties.

Helps out when and where she can with my other 2 children.

Has cooked a fair few meals and has learned how to cook a few more.

And most incredibly, rubs my swollen feet every day because she knows how painful they can get.

All 3 children make me coke with lots of ice a couple of times a day because they know I love it.

[Frenelder]

My DH was wonderful the first few months, spoilt me with gifts & fuss. He spent time researching baby things we'll need & said at the end of PG & first few weeks after baby is born he'll arrange a cleaner.
I'm 22wks now & the novelty had worn off!
I'm also sorting the loft out, doing all the house work, shopping, cooking, washing & ironing alone whilst working 40 hours a week. I'm aching all over & struggling to sleep.
I feel like somebody had stollen my wonderful DH & left a bad copy in place - if anybody finds mine please return him

[HotCrossPun]

Your DD sounds lovely Beckett

[FoofFighter]

am 37w and it was only last week that he did the first "nice" thing off his own bat, holding my hand walking down a tricky slope then opening the car door for me. Other than that it's been a bit of a competition to him I feel, on how much more tired/achy/in pain etc he is than me. No going to the shop for me if I wanted something specific etc like you hear of others doing.

it's very wearying tbh.

[EeyoreIsh]

my DH is lovely and I'm spoilt.

I've been too sick to cook most days, so DH has taken over shopping, cooking and washing up. He's happily made me whatever I can eat (usually toast, boiled rice or porridge).

He's made me breakfast every day.

He's done more than his normal share of cleaning and washing.

He's not got annoyed or upset when I've come straight home from work and gone to bed.

I know I'm lucky. He was also fab when I had my miscarriage.

In exchange, he gets plenty of beer and golf time!

[knittingirl]

Our friend was going to Canada and dh secretly asked her to get me a super big football jersey so that I would have something really comfy to lounge around in all summer I love it!

[HorizontalRunningOnly]

He bought me a sanctuary mum to be pamper kit with lotions and bubbles etc. totally surprised me with it. Also let me lie in every morning and brought me a tea. Very lucky I know as he works late shifts so gets home at 11pm or later

[mrspaddy]

Ah Beckett .. that is lovely your daughter. She's a great girl!! You have raised your children well. Hope I do as well.

[enormouse]

My DP has taken it upon himself to sort out our storage problems before DC2 arrives.
He's arranged for his mates to come over in September so they can move furniture, decorate the (bigger) attic room for DS and turn DSs room into the new DCs nursery and set up an office for me to work/study in. he's arranged for me to go away on my own and visit some friends whilst all this is going on.
I feel pretty lucky as he does lots of small things too, waking up with DS, foot rubs etc.

[thegoldenfool]

(37 weeks) my DC1 23 months still wakes up for at least half an hour every night (sometime for over 2 hours!) and my DP does all the night looking after

he takes DC1 for the weekly shop every saturday morning letting me have a lie in

He has to be reminded about birthday cards, I buy my own birthday presents which never get wrapped up, but how he behaves in times like this is the most romantic thing ever

[BanjoPlayingTiger]

When I was pregnant he would make my lunch before he went out and leave it in the fridge so I wouldnt have to think about making anything whilst being so horribly sick. He made sure I always had ice cubs to crunch even though the noise goes right through him. He would get up in the middle of the night to make salty mashed potato for me and did absolutely all the cooking.
He held my hair when I was being sick - unless I yelled at him to go away when he did just that.
He held me when I was in pain and came with me to as many of the hospital appointments as he could.

In short he just tried to make my life easier as it was really difficult for me. He is fabulous!

They are just the things I can think of off the top of my head - there will have been much more he did too.

I fell over at work yesterday and it seemed like I'd broken my ankle. DP rushed to the hospital to meet me, but not before packing a bag 'just in case'. He packed treats, a range of clothes, pyjamas and slippers, my iPad and chargers for it and my phone and a book.

It felt really good to have someone drop everything to be there, and to really think about what I'd want. Saying that, he used the iPad more than I did, but still!
