Never felt more in love with DH

[nicollette]

DS has had trouble sleeping for the past week or so, myself & DH have had many sleepless nights.

Last night was the first time DH put DS to bed alone & I listened on the monitor (DS is 20mo).

DH was so calm and patient, I feel like I've never loved him as much as I do right now!!!!

Has anybody else fell in love with their dh more after seeing them be a wonderful father

Aw this is lovely! We have a brand new 2 day old daughter and seeing my husband be lovely with her makes my heart melt...

Emelene congratulations! That's beautiful.
Enjoy parenthood & falling in love more & more

@Emelene Congratulations on your baby.

@nicollette I agree, my children are 17mths and 4 months and when my dh gets home from work my little boy drags his mega blocks (bag as big as him) across to my dh and they sit on the floor making towers. He baths with them and and talks to them in silly voices. It's these little, very normal things that make me realise how wonderful he is. (Even if he does leave his pants on the floor occasionally 😂)

Yes, hearing DH whispering to our newborn DD "I love you, I love you" as he rocked her crib, melted my heart.

The first time in 20 months? For real? No, I don’t think that would have made my heart burst with love.

Emma & Birdie, these moments we will remember forever!

Uni, funnily enough I have seen you being a Neggy McPhee on other threads too, thank you for your input

We have never had issues like this with DS sleeping, obviously DH plays with him etc, but we're both exhausted & it's lovely to still see him full of patience and compassion for our son who is more than likely suffering night terrors.

Yup, who my husband is as a father is hugely attractive.

Yes, I have a 4 day old baby and a 2 year old DS. Both DH and DS are full of awful cold. DH had DS coughing at him in bed Saturday night because he was so unsettled (which is why he has the cold now!) and then last night took him back in there again as DS was obviously miserable, spent the night being coughed and wailed at then got up uncomplainingly with him to give me another hours sleep after my wake ups with baby. When he totally comes through in the hard bits of parenting it definitely reminds me how much I love him.

So nice to read a positive partner thread on this site for a change!

Aww! Yes. We have to work together. I love it and our family

I've just puked a bit in my mouth

Tbh I just see it as dh doing his share of the childcare. He always took/still does take his turn to put the children to bed though, right from birth. I appreciate him for that but I don't think it made me more attracted to him or love him more, possibly because it just seems normal and right.

Your DH has never put your 20 month old to bed alone before?

Of course he has lipstick!
It was different though, as DS didn't want to go to bed and dh was being extra calm and extra comforting!

I realise now how i worded the OP!!

first time in 20 months. Wow, he is a super parent of the year. Does he usually work every evening?

Lovely to see a nice positive partner thread ..there should be more.

@nicollette I am completely the same, seeing how great my DH is with our DS make me burst with love and loads more emotion.

Yeah ignore all the posters commenting negatively, whatever works in your relationship is your business it's just a shame there are so many bitter people on here.

It is not bitterness to expect more though. It really isn’t. I burst with love for my DH for all sorts of reasons, that is good. I don’t think a dad putting their child to bed is a big deal, especially when it is the first time in almost two years! If that impresses you, that’s fine, but do understand that others will feel sorry for you.

I think the point being made was how lovely it was listening to her husband with their child on the monitor.

Sorry I should rephrase then, it sounds like bitterness when someone starts a thread about something nice and people have to come on and draw a negative from it.

People don't know the dynamic of their relationship to be judging wether she needs to "expect more" and that's not what the post was about, but I'm sure people on here know what to expect from certain types of people and can, hopefully, just learn to ignore their posts and read all the nice ones relevant to the thread.
