To tell you that DH has come up bloody trumps this afternoon?

DH was utterly useless when DD arrived 4.5 years ago and, although he's improved, I've despaired of having a proactive partner.

DD does not sleep. She has surpassed herself this week. Today DH unexpectedly arrived home at lunchtime, announced it was a Daddy daughter afternoon so he was stealing DD and packed me off for a bubble bath with tea and chocolate. He's emptied the dishwasher, tackled the clean washing mountain and wiped down the kitchen sides. Apparently tea is in hand so all I need to do is decide whether to read my book or watch a box set. He's even told DD he needs some special time with her so wants to do bath and story, so I'm off the hook for bedtime too.

I'm genuinely made up. He's nailed it, identified exactly what would help me most and just made it happen!

Which ever Pod people replaced your husband, send them far and wide!

Seriously, that's genuinely lovely. Hope he makes it a regular habit for everyone's benefit.

What an unexpected joy. I'll bet your DD and DH will love the time together but crucially you get a break!

Well done your DH.
