What are we grateful to our DH/DPs for?

[keely79]

Was thinking about this after reading an article saying that we should all make more of an effort to say thank you in relationships to make the other person feel appreciated and noticed.

I'm grateful for a lot of stuff that DH does - doing high proportion of childcare as my hours are longer, being a great Dad, making me feel loved etc.

However, at present, am feeling especially grateful to him - he has just finished a mammoth project sinking a trampoline into the ground in the back garden. A true labour of love for our two children - he had to dig a 15ft wide hole that was about 4ft deep, drywall it, add drainage and airpipes, and then lay turf around. And he did it all by hand. The children are in heaven.

What about you?

He can be a grumpy old git but he gets up every morning of the week bar one as I am rubbish in the mornings, and makes me a cup of tea most days. He also does some really good cooking and does most of the laundry and ironing. He is far from romantic, but he makes me feel very safe and is the most honest and dependable people I know, with high moral standards. He is very funny too.

Aw - all of these are making me a little teary. We're all so lucky.

naff all

For being a great Dad to our 2 year old DS. I love that they have boys days together. He also makes me sit down and rest as I'm pregnant.

For telling me he loves the way I look when I had a hormonal hissy fit about not being attractive. He looked at me with a face, told me I'm beautiful and brought me a brew and a hobnob. He's a keeper.

I love that "he's a keeper" idea WestEast - definitely something to talk through with dd one day I reckon! Glad you've found yours

You are all very lucky!

Count your blessings. I thought I found my soulmate but sadly he wasn't.
