Do you know that there ARE wonderful men / dads / DH's / DPs

[Twiglett]

and I'd like to hear about some of them

sometimes I see all the relationships that people put up with on here (and in RL) and I wonder whether some people actually know that men can be fabulous and human and decent and kind

DH is great ... yes he winds me up at times.. but then I'm not easy to live with at times either.

he gets on and does things that need doing .. ok admittedly not the way that I would do them but he still does them

he plays with the kids .. the kind of stuff I can't stand like getting down and playing board games

he loads and empties the dishwasher and washes up and hoovers and he doesn't EXPECT dinner on the table and will happily cook .. he brings me breakfast in bed .. he's been off work for 2 weeks and apart from today has been up with kids every day

he wouldn't even understand the concept of being unfair or abusive ... emotionally, physically or monetarily

and yes he's exasperating and annoying at times .. but then aren't we all

lets hear it for the good guys .. who I firmly believe even without evidence to the contrary are in the MAJORITY!

my dh is fab too. handsome, kind, lovely dad etc etc. friends and acquaintances are always telling me how totaly fantastic he is.... in tones that suggest a) what is he with me for? (am a grumpy old bat) and b) that i dont appreciate him.... hope he dosent realise he could do so much better

I also have one of the good guys.

He can drive me knuts, but I am sure I am 10 times worse for him.

He has supported me through numerous life trials, including loosing my mum, and more trivial things like 100 diets that never got anywhere. He has never complained about my weight - but instead gives up his beloved chocolate biscuits whenever I try 'loose weight'

He was there when both our children were born, and continues to be the most excellent of daddies. (currently sitting winding 3 weeks old DS - looks so cute brings tear).

He tidies, hoovers, polishes, mops, cooks - not all to my standards (but then my standards are not Anthea Turner either) - but he gives it a go and every little helps to steal a catchphrase.

He works an early shift and still finds time to play with DD in the afternoons despite being up since 4am. He takes her out for walks and to the lake so I can have a rest or have some close time with DS. And since DS was born he has got up every monring and let me sleep in to what I would normally call a disgusting hour!

I feel blessed to have met him and know that someone 'up there' was smiling on me the day we met!

my dh is my best frind as well as the love of my life
he has his faults and can be a lazy sod but I love him to bits

I have a fab DH and he is a super daddy to DD too. He's my best friend
