Don't have a DP/H, but here's my top 5 things I like about men (I'm not going to be left out, no not me)

1 - they are usually bigger than me
2 - they can open jars and bottles when I can't
3 - they usually don't mind getting rid of spiders and moths and things
4 - they can be quite nice to look at and touch
5 - life would be very dull without them

He is a great cook
He is very funny and makes me laugh
He always leaves work early / on time now I am on maternity leave
He is great for intelligent conversation...

... and if a present is ever required, he knows I'd much prefer a Doctor Who DVD to flowers and chocolates!

1. I don't feel like a single parent anymore

1. He gets up in the morning and makes me tea and toast before work and runs me a bath when I get home from dealing with stinky people all day
