Just want to give a shout out to DH really haha feeling a bit soppy (pregnancy hormones) and very grateful and lucky!

He works 6 days a week for 10-12 hours a day, with only Sunday off and no paid holidays (his own business) and is tired and stressed emotionally and physically, he hates sticky mess and children's parties and soft play and all the other not so appealing sides of parenthood but is nothing short of amazing to me and our 2yo son! He completely takes over when he's home, the only 2 things that he doesn't do are cook (for good reason lol) and nappy change but other than that NOTHING is off limits. I came home late from the zoo last week to find he was home and had a very rare afternoon off work and how did he spend the chill hours he was blessed with while we were gone? He scrubbed and cleaned ours and DSs bedrooms and organised DSs wardrobe (a job I've been putting off for ages) and started to sort through all DSs old baby things for when DS2 arrives. He is DSs idol they are such best friends it's insanely cute. He is going through a really tough time with the business but you wouldn't know. I'm so tired from parenting DS1 and growing DS2 and never seem to stop wingeing 😂 He is amazing I could go on and on and on. We have ordinary ups and downs between us like normal couples but feel so appreciative of him especially after reading a lot of posts on here about DHs that are quite frankly selfish cavemen the way they describe them!

Don't actually want anything from this post other than to say how lucky I feel... me metophorically shouting from the rooftops ❤️

SparklyMagpie · 16/04/2017 17:50

I for one couldn't give a shit but as you were

BoneyBackJefferson · 16/04/2017 17:59

Nomoreworkathome

You do know that people are aloud to post nice stories of their other halves.

robinia · 16/04/2017 18:04

Ignore the jaundiced pps MrsMammy. Your dh is a gem. Hope he knows how much you appreciate him.

Nomoreworkathome · 16/04/2017 18:14

That's the beauty of the internet.Boney Different opinions, different responses. As you were.

NSEA · 16/04/2017 18:25

I would prefer not to change nappies if given the choice. I didn't realise there was a choice!! Damn!

JigglyTuff · 16/04/2017 18:39

Oh that's brilliant that I can be a really good mum if I leave my kids in stinking festering shitty nappies!

Why did no one tell me this before? I thought that was part of being a parent Angry

Pinkdonkey · 16/04/2017 18:40

It's lovely to hear positive stories, theres such a lot of male bashing that goes on these days. Sometimes I feel theres a large group on women who arn't content with equality, but want to break and beat down the male half of the race. There are some horrible, lazy and abusive men, but the same goes for women.

BoneyBackJefferson · 16/04/2017 18:57

&Nomoreworkathome*

Yup, keyboard warriors, pissy responses. As you were

SparklingRaspberry · 16/04/2017 19:19

Some people are so bitter OP, ignore them

I actually find this nice to read Smile

IHeartDodo · 16/04/2017 19:24

Aw that's lovely, sometimes all the negative threads make me a bit paranoid!! So it's good to hear a nice one!

youarenotkiddingme · 16/04/2017 19:27

I'm glad you're happy and it's nice to read about people's good lives.

Ignore the misers who can't be happy for anyone or find fault in everything.

Itshello · 16/04/2017 19:33

He doesn't sound that great.

picklemepopcorn · 16/04/2017 19:36

Nice to hear about a happy couple. Certainly cupboard sorting wouldn't cross DH's mind.
