To have something nice to say about DP - please join in to appreciate yours too!

[ReadyForSeason]

He got me a couple of facial sheet masks and gave me them first thing this morning as something little to open with a cup of tea… Now he is off to church with his Mum and DD, and I am in bed chilling with a lovely cooling mask on my tired face, after a little party last night. He is a keeper.

He's a thoroughly decent man. There's no side to him. You'd want him on your team because he'd have your back 100%. In fact, he'd have your back even if he wasn't on your team.

He's set a wonderful example for our young adult daughter of the way men should treat women.

He spent all day building DD’s new bed on Saturday. He got me really nice gifts and brings me drinks, is letting my family come for Christmas even though he’d prefer to have his, he’s a great dad and kind. We’ve both been quite stressed and overwhelmed the past few weeks and haven’t always been kind to each other in that time, but really I know I am very lucky and so is he!

My DH will cook the whole Christmas meal, for that I’m very grateful! He actually does most of the cooking anyway. ❤️

Mine is driving a 2 hour round trip to take mum home this evening so I can have wine with my dinner. She isn't staying because her alzheimers means she gets confused and distressed so bettering she sleeps in her own bed. She is likely to keep asking him how his mum is - it washer funeral a couple of weeks ago.

My DH got up early with our eldest son while me and the toddler had a lie in! He also got the children’s breakfast while I relaxed and woke up with a coffee in peace. He’s the absolute best man in the world and I’m very lucky (definitely don’t show him enough just how much I appreciate him)

Mine is downstairs happily pottering in the kitchen. He does every aspect of the food - shopping, prep, cooking, clearing up 😬

The kids have requested eggs Benedict for breakfast, so he’ll be doing that too when they eventually surface.

Mine sorts out amazing and very niche gifts for our kids and surprised us all by being dressed in a full Santa get up this morning! Love him so much

Mine has been looking after LO while we are at my family's and I'm rotten with cold. He let me lay in and did her bottles and breakfast. He's a star.

My DH wrapped every last present, then made waffles this morning for breakfast and sent a kid up to bring them to me in the bath. Definitely a keeper.

He's always generous with his time and energy, and he encourages me to pursue my interests, including buying things for my hobbies.

Today he's making our contribution to the meal we're having later with my family, and I'm certain I can count on him to have a positive attitude regardless of what the day brings. He's one of the steadiest, least flappable people I've ever met.

What a lovely thread!

I'm a control freak about cooking the Christmas dinner all by myself but am also a fibro sufferer, OH is supplying me with cups of tea (& later cider with lots of ice) & put the meat on a slow roast while I was out at work.

Thank god for this thread!

Today is my birthday. DP has made breakfast, washed up breakfast things (we don't have room for a dishwasher), taken FiL's dog for a walk (FiL is away for Christmas staying with DP's brother who lives abroad), and has just brought me in a Dunkin Doughnut (my favourite), with a birthday candle in.

My dh literally saved my life 2 days ago. I had an acute medical episode (Addisons crisis, I don’t make any cortisol and went into near fatal shock suddenly at home). He rushed home from work after I texted him (luckily works 5 mins away) and rang 999 and injected me with my emergency life saving medication- which he’d never had to do before. It was extremely scary and we then had an agonising 40 mins wait for an ambulance- Addisons crisis should be in the same triage as a cardiac arrest. I am now recovering at home with extra medication and it wasn’t the Christmas we planned but there we go!

It's so nice to read a thread like this on here!
DP is genuinely amazing, I'm nearly 39 weeks pregnant and he has barely let me lift more than the kettle for the last 6 months! And that's only occasionally, he's brought me tea in bed this morning. He never stops doing things to make my life easier. Flowers when I'm feeling rubbish. Even my dad said last night 'you'd go a long way to find another one like him' high praise indeed, especially as I'm his favourite daughter🤣

I lost my mum last month and I was dreading today to be honest,partner has made breakfast,prepared all the dinner,played with the kids and presented me with a canvas with my favourite picture of my mum which made my day.
He also asked my sister to get him some of my mums clothes and had the children memory bears made out of grandma's favourite clothes 🥰.
He is a good egg anyway but today he has excelled and made my Christmas x

DH has bought me a lovely handprint charm of our second baby that I have been banging on about since baby was born 15 months ago 😂 also some lovely little surprise gifts.

Has set up DS1 toys and now cooking bacons sarnies whilst I put the smallest to bed as it's all a bit much for him

Married for 26 years. Hubby washed kitchen floor whilst I watched Christmas bake off last night. He’s just cooked breakfast and made me a brew - anything made with love tastes so much better! He’s a star ⭐️

He puts up with me. Enough said.😄

Mine is not perfect, but after years of not really getting Christmas presents or buying them
myself, this year he gave his card to my teenage daughter to do my stocking (within a limit!) and she did so well. (Same for under the tree presents after lunch so I’ll have some other bits to open). Has taken our toddler for a Christmas walk so I can prepare lunch. Generally, things have got better between us over the years, not worse, which is amazing after a rough few years in the middle. 3 kids and 15 years of marriage and we are probably the best we have ever been thanks to a lot more communication on both sides. ❤️

I've felt very alone with all the Christmas prep, and like he wasn't participating. Yesterday he apologised, gave me £100 voucher for my beauty place and since then has completely taken over domestic duties and the majority of child related duties! I don't need someone who is perfect, I need someone who recognises when they should step up and does so with complaint which is exactly who he is

That is so lovely ❤️ that your girls still play like that at their ages, that he joined in and made it lovely for them, that he had thought to get you chocolate coins and that he knew you would be happy for your daughters to have them for their teddies- you must be very much on the same page with things ❤️

My wife is fantastic. She got me beautiful gifts that she thought of and chose herself and is now playing with our son after getting me back to bed and putting clean bedding on because I’m ill (I’m not lazy- I have done everything up until last night because she has had to work like a mad thing, but today I just can’t move). I can hear them laughing through the wall ❤️

Mine's done all the veg and is just lovely and calm all the time. He is appreciative of everything and the kindest man I know. I'm cooking for 12 today, but it's just a case of shoving everything in an oven.

My DH got up early this morning and tidied away the remains of last night (think pizza, cheese and bottles) after spending it with BIL and DN. He washed all the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.

He also made me a coffee (which he does every morning while waking me up).

Next year we would have been married for 25 years. I have loved every minute of it ❤️.
