Got up with ds at whatever stupid hour he wakes.
Given both children pretty much all their meals
Taken dd, and, when necessary, her friend, to preschool and collected them
Bathed ds and put dd to bed (I bf ds at bedtime)
Kept house pretty tidy and kitchen sparkly clean
Cleaned out the fridge
Taken me for brunch when I felt I was rallying - bad idea in the end, but lovely at the time.
Made me a birthday cake with dd.
Kept children entertained a lot of the time (they sit and play in a travel cot next to his desk. DD think's it's hilarious, and ds just loves being with dd and daddy).
Kept me fed, watered, medicated, boiled hot water for bath when tank ran out and I was desperate to get warm.
Gone to the shop for anything I've needed
Been very very sympathetic to me
Ensured there are always washed dried nappies for ds
Cancelled going to a Scotland football match tonight without so much as a murmur- he rarely goes, and really enjoys it.
AND - carried on doing his own job (academic trying to write a book) without so much as a disgruntled glance.
So, in essence, he's done my job (SAHM), his job, and nursed me. How am I ever going to repay this? He says "but you do the same for me" - well, partly, but don't write your damn book, that's for sure.
