Asked hubby last night if we should stop having cleaner whilst I'm on maternity leave as we're supposed to be cutting back on all luxuries so as to save money. No, he responds, you're not on maternity leave to do the cleaning, you're off work to look after the baby!
Sometimes, I love my husband.
Who else has had one of those moments recently.

awww. Dh is just fab. For lots of reasons. Mostly because he does the little things that shows he's thinking about me.

pepperpots · 29/01/2008 22:28

Haha!
Also one mothers day my DH cleaned up 2 very sick little boys so I could eat my special breakfast they had prepared didn't feel like eating it much but the thought was there

fairylights · 29/01/2008 22:32

aah pepperpots, your dh sounds wonderful!
My dh is also wonderful, aren't we lucky?

pepperpots · 29/01/2008 22:36

Sometimes i read the threads on here and thank my lucky stars
I spent 5 years with a bastard so i understand how bad things can get
I truly am honoured to have such a wonderful DH

I was really poorly in hospital 2 weeks ago i phoned dp at work and told him i was gettin worse within 30 mins he was home from a night shift and took me into hospital stayed the whole night with me - came home sorted dd then came back to the hospital - he ended up being off work 4 days did all this house work and didnt moan once about it

dd was taken to hospital last night once again i phone worked he dropped everything was there waiting for us.

these might seem normal things for most couple but dd isn't his biological daughter yet he is the most fantadtic father to her and partner to me all things that ex=dh would never do and i'm counting down the days till i become his wife next year xxxxxx

My dh has just washed up and is now hanging out the washing. He's amazing!

bellabelly · 29/01/2008 23:53

Pepperpots, I am welling up reading your post! My own DH is my absolute hero - he does SO much for our twins and at weekends offers to take them out so I can have a break. He works full time, does LOADS around the house, cooks 90% of the dinners and never moans. I love hm SOOOOO much and am probably a grumpy old nag most of the time...

suzywong · 29/01/2008 23:59

put Mr Wong up there on the list

he's an absolute DIAMOND

80sMum · 30/01/2008 00:20

I feel that Mr 80s should get a mention. He may be pathologically untidy but he does all the shopping and cooking and always has a meal ready for when I get home , bless him

missorinoco · 30/01/2008 01:30

i think mr orinocois lovely. especially as i am am such an old nag.
pepperpots, that is lovely

Hecate · 30/01/2008 10:13

Mine is AMAZING. He's just painted the living room for the third time in about a week, because I keep choosing a paint then hating it when it's on.

And he HASN'T shoved the roller where the sun don't shine, which I think he deserves a bloody medal for!

PeatBog · 30/01/2008 10:16

pepperpots, I am all teary too at your post.

Hecate, you're a brave woman. Although my dh is the loveliest man, I think I would have been wearing the third pot of paint.

Hecate · 30/01/2008 10:17

I haven't told him I don't like the kitchen colour yet. Watch this space! [scared]

PeatBog · 30/01/2008 10:26

my god, you're a woman on self-destruct

Hecate · 30/01/2008 10:34

I can't help it. It has to be right.

Pepperpots - your dh is wonderful. totally wonderful. And so are you. You're a goddess in his eyes, can't you see that?! you are a very lucky woman (and he would no doubt add that he is a very lucky man)

PeatBog · 30/01/2008 10:47

Hecate, I understand. I'm just jealous because at the moment we're in between houses so I have nothing to paint.

Hecate, I might be in your shoes soon. . DP actually SUGGESTED finally decorating our bedroom (we've only been living with the previous owners' colour scheme for 15 months!) and cheerfully drove to two DIY places to look for deep green paint (he hates DIY shops). I have three samples to try and worry that, lush as it sounds, a deep green bedroom might be scary in reality - his comment, 'well, if we hate it, we can always paint it black' .

He drives me mad from time to time, but I love that he's happy to indulge my whims for making us a lovely home - AND he cooks a great stirfry.

Have just remembered this thread
SOmething else to add...

We were going to buy a new fridge (one of the big American ones) and a new Plasma T.V (boys & their toys) and DH has just said that we are to spend the money on legal costs as my peace of mind is worth ten times that of luxuries and
