how much does your dh/dp do for you?

[kerryk]

not a bragging thread at all (honestly) but the more i talk to friends about how much there partner does for them the more i feel i must be a bully.

dh works away a lot but when he is home i dont really have to lift a finger, he does everything with the dc, makes the dinner, does the house work and still manages to run around after me. i dont let him do everything he just seems to be there 5 mins before me.

i cope perfectly well when he works away and the house is always clean/tidy etc so its not that he is making up for me being inadequte (sp??)

if we are both hungover at the weekend he wakes me up with some bacon rolls and a cup of tea, if i mention at stupid o clock at night that i fancy some chocolate he is out the door before i can stop him.

i know i should just be gratefull but people have started commenting on it now and i am paraniod that they think i must be a bitch.

btw before someone mentions it i very much doubt that he is trying to cover up an affair.

you are not a bitch, you are one lucky lucky woman

woo hoo there are men out there that pull their weight

i thought my dh was pretty good but i would swap him happily now

Want to rent him out?
I thought I was lucky with my DP, but I think yours gets top prize.

He sounds lovely kerryk

My DP has really made an effort with helping me out recently and it has saved us I think. I think it works both ways really, I realised a bit ago DP is my best friend and we had stopped treating each other like friends and had gotten lazy, making an effort is underrated.

My DP is the bestest boyf at cups of tea!

Kerryk if my DH worked away from home I would think that we had the same husband [grin}

I hate talking about mine as he is sooo good to me and our boys. Like today, we had a teacher training day and so he took the day off work and we went to a theme park!!

Any comments are just jealousy. I am thinking that the bacon roll sounds great See even me with fantastic husband is thinking, hmm I could just do with a bacon roll right now and I know if I asked he would do it.

Then again I would also do the same for him. It is give and take. He is obviously grateful for all that you do for him and his family.

he is lovely (at times) but he just seems to do ssooooooo much.

KerryK, he sounds great. My DH is really good at pulling his weight. He doesn't work away but he does work his arse of in the week, but still finds time and energy to do a 50/50 share in the household chores and with DD.
Actually I do the cooking as I love cooking and he does all the nitty bitty cleaning such as the barthroom and toilets (jobs I hate with a passion)

He is great my DH

(I feel all soppy and in love with him even more now)

wow, i'm jealous!! Mine does get up with ds most weekends, sorts out most of the washing, hoovers(when i remind him!!), irons, baths ds (most nights), does the bins, sorts out the garden, gives me a back rub (a few times a week!), earns good money and isn't in the slightest bit controllling about it. But i do lots too, including making his lunch for work everyday and doing all the cooking/food prep& planning - no ready meals in our house, 99% of household admin, sorting social events/babysitters, ds docs appts, etc!!!
