Amazing husband and dad

I'm not bragging. But I think I'm lucky. When our first son was born I struggled massively. My husband has always been amazing with chores and always does 70% of the cleaning and the cooking( he has a cleaning rota) so he decided he would go part time to be the main carer of our child. I work full time as i struggled being at home all day. I do chores on a Saturday and washing so we can have sundays together. We have a second boy on the way and he's started a flexi work time so ge can drop our son off to school so I can have a bit chilled morning before work. I do the dishes and bath time so he can chill for a bit. By 7 evrything is done( he hoovers, dishes away, toys tidy, packed lunch done etc don't mean to brag it's just to show what some husbands can be like.

Congratulations 😀

I have 2 DS - one is like your DH, helps his DW with everything and still works FT, and one is not!

Glad you've got such a respectful partnership with your husband. I feel sad when I see women who seem to think they have to do everything in the home as well as looking after the children and often working as well. Unfortunately you need to pick someone who believes in sharing chores from the start as it's very hard to change ingrained attitudes further along the line.

He knows I appreciate him. He's amazing. As I'm the main earner, he says he needs to help around the house.

Men should be good partners. It'll be better if it's ever the norm and not worthy of a post on here though.
