Just share it.

A lot of the time when people come to these boards it's because there's a problem or an issue.

So I want you to share something amazing that your DH does for you, something interesting about your sister or your neighbour.

My husband makes me a cup of tea every morning and gets up in the night with our DD without complaint. I suggested we rota this out to make it more equitable but he has said he doesn't consider it unfair on him as I still have her for most the day, every week.

My in laws are saints - ESPECIALLY my mother in law. I've joked with my husband that if we ever divorced, I'd want joint custody of his parents.

I worked late last night so my DP took DS along with him for a haircut after school. They then got a KFC bargain bucket on the way home and then watched a war film.

I consider myself very lucky - my DP steps up where my DS's father doesn't...plus my DS just loves the time they spend together.

My mother-in-law is the mother I always dreamed of having.

She's an immigrant, and she understands some of the huge culture shock I experienced moving back to the UK after spending most of my adult life abroad.

Can it be about pets?
I don’t really have people in my life unfortunately…..

Someone who works for my husband’s company was looking stressed. When he gently spoke to him, he confessed he had screwed up financially this month and they had literally nothing in the cupboard to feed the family (2 children). So my husband took him to supermarket and paid for a monthly shop and filled the cupboards (about £200).

It is technically a loan but with a year or two to pay it back, interest free.

He is such a caring person and we count our blessings and he teaches me to look out for people who have less than us. He continually inspires me to be a better version of myself.

My mil adores the bones of our son and spoils him rotten.
We don't always see eye to eye but her love for him makes up for it!
DH, we are his priority, always. Smile

My husband (married 41 years) always greets me with a smile and a kiss when he gets in from work, and then makes us a cup of tea. He's so laid-back, and is always happy to be at home, with me. He tells me all the time that he loves me, and I've never known him to be miserable, angry, spiteful or mean with anyone.

My neighbour knits my toddler daughter the most wonderful jumpers and hats.

Another neighbour organises the community park, and got us a grant last year for a new climbing frame.
