DH is great when he is home, probably to make up for the fact that he away so much (in the Navy)
He will get up with the kids when he isn't at work, and make them breakfast, but won't pick out clothes for them!
He helps with the tidying/ kitchen/ hoovering every night after dinner
He does the girls bath, which gives me a break.
He often walks the dogs if he is off, especially if the weather is rotten
He washes his own gear on the boat, and does all his own ironing (and mine, should the need arise!)
He loads the dishwasher (incorrectly!) and washes the pots (using on average half a bottle of fairy liquid each time!)
He washes the cars (the point of which escapes me!) and does the grass etc
He is, however, incapable of putting anything where it is meant to be and sheds clothes and possessions like the dogs shed hair!
The hoover story reminded me of a friend's dad who came home from the pub late, puked in the hall, then hoovered it up before staggering off to bed!!!!! As you can imagine, he was in the doghouse for quite some time!! My DH has never done anything as bad as that, although he does try to hoover up yoghurt.
