To start a thread where our partners did well?

[Littlebitpsycho]

Does anyone else have a partner who did well this xmas? We have so many threads about partners being useless i thought it would be nice to have one where we big them up a little.

Mine got up first this morning and brought me a latte and some toast. He bought me some lovely, well thought out gifts - and was suitably happy and grateful with his own. We've been to the beach for a walk and now stuffed after Christmas dinner with his parents.

Come tell me your nice stories 😊

He stayed up until god knows what time with DD last night, and still got up with us in the morning without so much of a complaint. He’s spoiled all of us, I’ve been able to sit down whilst he cleans up after dinner, and he’s kept my wine glass topped up the entire day. I keep looking over at him and wanting to cry because I love him so much!

Awe sorry.

My dh had been amazing too!

Wrapped all the pressies yesterday.

Got up at half 6 with our youngest to watch a film whilst i had another hour in bed

brought me tea in bed.

bought me some very thoughtful gifts

spent most of the day building stuff for the kids.

supplied drinks whilst i cooked.

i love him ☺️

Also:

‘Bitch’, we might conclude, is not so much a dehumanising term as a misogynist one. Its function is both to punish individual women who transgress in the ways just outlined, and to police the behaviour of women in general (‘listen and learn, ladies: if you don’t want to be called a bitch, you won’t do what that bitch did’). In the lexicon of misogyny it’s the ultimate all-rounder.

Thank goodness. Buh-bye

@JudgeBreadYou’re either male.

Or have issues with internalised misogyny.

Either way, do some research. You could do it with a glass of sherry tonight perhaps. 😘

@LittlebitpsychoBuh-bye?

Bye bye?

Night love.

My husband has really looked after me and Mum today. It's our first Christmas without Dad after he passed away this year. DH has been upbeat and fun playing with our son, looking after the dogs and checking in on us. Surlrised me with so many lovely presents from him and our son and the dog! . My brother and BIL have taken over the food. Not sure what Mum and I have done really, opened presents, enjoyed cups od tea and a few glasses of fizz. Feeling very cared for from the men in our family. Merry Christmas all, give your loved ones an extra hug we never know how much time we have together

The Baby language as well 🤣

Right I’m out for sure.

I just can’t. 🫠🫠🫠🤣🤣🤣🤣

You won't be missed 🖐

DH cooked the roast along with Dd. Was shooed out of the kitchen and was only called in to make the gravy. Lots of lovely gifts- some I had asked for others totally unexpected but well thought out. Overall a good day as kids sorted the washing up and loading dishwasher too.

Dh bought me a new paperwhite, I didn't even realise he had heard my moaning at my current one. Also 3 pairs of my fave jammies in different colours. He's a cunt, but I'll keep him!

I made a list (nothing too out there or expensive) and he got me everything on the list - with a bit of help from DD.

He’s made me a couple of cups of tea in bed, cooked dinner and has not asked me to do a thing. This is perfect and dinner was delicious too!

Jewellery, perfume and an antique book. He's cooked the Christmas Dinner and did most of the buying too because of a commission I was still working on until 2 days ago.

Absolutely amazing.

My DH doesn't celebrate Christmas. Knows it's hard for me to be apart from family this time of year. VCA earrings under the tree for me this yr ✨️. Fabulous.

Mine is an excellent gift giver, again this year he has excelled himself I don’t know why I’m surprised at how well he knows me.

We hosted family and DH did:
All food shopping
All cleaning
Walked the dogs this morning
Most of washing up ( I did a bit)
All cooking ( and it was 5 star, best cut of meat and best cheesecake EVER)

Mine! He regularly pulls weight anyway but has done lions share of childcare with overloaded hyper kids whilst I got dinner under way. Helped the kids pick and wrap presents for me. Has bought some thoughtful gifts for me without direction as well as a spa voucher to help me relax after all effort for Xmas. He’s a good en.

Mine both bought lovely thoughtful gifts and made excellent suggestions to family. He was washer upper to my cook. Kept everyone in drinks. Bought me coffee in bed when we were woken early doors. He’s a good guy all year round so this is just a lovely reminder of how lucky I am.

Mine. He's doing a later Christmas dinner, has done all the food shopping and has comforted me in my weepy meltdown moments even though he is also autistic. He's my rock.

Mine got me an electric blanket because I'm always cold and he runs hot, so we argue about putting the heating on. I'm toasty under my blanket now.

My partner bought me lovely thoughtful gifts plus flowers and a lovely card.

Mine has been pretty good today. Got up at six to open presents. Got everything on my list. Did half the cooking and all the washing up. Can’t complain.

DH is always brilliant. I can never understand how or why so many MNers partner up with and procreate with the useless men on many threads!

He as always brought me tea in bed, fed the cat, cleaned the litter trays and we had stockings in bed. All 3 of us had lovely thoughtful things in stockings and under the tree that we appreciated- I did DH’s and DS13’s and DH did mine.
He collected my mum and cooked a roast dinner for 5, which I have cleared away.
He got my mum home safely.
He’s just lovely.
Tomorrow he’s building his remote control car, DS is building Lego, I’m having a bath and a pamper session and we will all eat leftovers (which he will cook) in front of Stranger Things.
