Proud of my other half

[Thomcat]

He lost his job and his last day was Friday just gone, no new job has come along as yet unfortunately but in the meantime he has booked himself onto 3 courses to improve his skills in the area of work he is looking in.

Rather than mope and feel pissed off he's doing something positive in-between looking for a new job as well as cooking me lovely dinners and being a great dad to DD and great friend to me.

I wouldn?t hesitate to moan about him if he does anything wrong so I wanted to give credit where credit is due and just wanted to share my positive feelings, hope no-one minds!

Things are so easily misinterpretted online.
I feel guilty when I am supposed to be workig but doss on MNet instead so my messages get terse to the point of maybe being cryptic.

Thomcat, what a great response. I have a pal whose husband was made redundant recently and his primary response was first to cry on the sofa a lot and then take up surfing from home big-time, dislodging her from Mumsnet
I hope all goes well for him and you.

Would you consider loaning him out ??

Ha haaa, sorry I know it's not funny really but the image of your friends husband curled up crying on the sofa made me giggle - is that cruel of me - sorry. Bless him, is he okay now?

Thanks girls for your positive comments back.
It's nice to feel proud of them now and again, nice to share it and nice to get nice positive responses back!

Now watch this space in 6 months if he hasn't found work by then!!!!!

I think it is lovely that you posted this about your other half, it made me smile this morning.

It's daft isn't it, but I was going to post about my lovely dh the other week (had bad w/end with dd and no sleep, he went to get ready meals for easy tea and came back with flowers and cream cakes for me as well 'to cheer up that lovely face' and I didn't post because most of the relationship threads are negative and I didn't want to annoy anyone.

However, can now open the floodgates because you have! Tee hee.

Yay ! Go Mr TC. Good on him, best of luck

Yes, he's doing much better thanks ThomCat and has in fact found temporary work. I really hope something good comes up for yours soon!

That is fab news Batters

Well done to Mr TC and Mr Batters!

Now I feel bad that I didn't post about dp. I'm always moaning about the amount of childcare he does, but when dd was in hospital he spent 12-24 hours a day with her for over a week and now she's home he still looks after her regularly so I can deal with ds (he's 3 weeks and the reason why I couldn't be with dd in hospital). All this while he has his clients nagging him left right and centre, and has also inherited my work for the duration of my mat leave.

It's done their relationship the world of good and I'm very proud!

Well done to Mr Olive Oil , Mr Batters and Senor Apostrophe !

btw Senora, haven't had a chance yet to ask DH about wholesalers while his brain is in gear, probaly won't tonight either, will try over the weekend.
