Who Has an AWESOME Hubby?

[Michael]

These posts are making me so depressed !
My husband is nothing like this!
Today I started Daycare at 6:30am while DH slept. I had 8 kids that needed to be out the door for the bus by 7:45. DH got up at 7:10..showered and left at 7:30 for work. No help with is own 3 kids whatsoever.
He then came home, shoved his supper into his face (Which took me over an hour to make with a house full of kids..), got his gun and left for hunting. By 7pm he still had not returned to help with driving DD to her activity, cleaning the kitchen from supper, making lunches for the next day, bathing kids, homework, teaching catechism to other DD...etc.
When I called him at 7:15 to ask where he was and why he wasn't home, he gave me a major attitude. Came home and then asked me why I always had to call him when he was out. (Which is about 3 nights a week...)
I feel like a single mom running a daycare most days.
He has no appreciation whatsoever for what I do.
When I try to explain how hard it is, he rolls his eyes and says that all I ever do is complain. Holy crap, they are HIS kids too!!
I wouldn't have to complain so much if I had a little help once in awhile.
Hug your good men tightly tonight ladies. They deserve it. Trust me when I tell you that they are not all like that. You gals are very lucky.

I know there was a thread about your type of situation with some good advice. It maybe one of these: https://www.daycare.com/forum/tags.p...usband+-+loser

We must all three be then!

I feel like a single mom a lot of the time. DH tries...but fails most of the time. All the nagging, reminding, arguing, and asking in the world does not do much to get him to "figure it out". I don't put up with it...but I do just deal with it because it's better than fighting.

My husband has Asperger's, so it's kind of like rowing a boat upstream. Sometimes we make progress, often we slide backwards, and the harder I push the less progress we're likely to make. Slow and steady...slow and steady...

well this week dh is not awesome because he went to north carolina, west virginia and chicago with me. He had to go on a service call, but I want to visit these places too. Darn daycare. But he's in for a treat tommorrow, he gets to drive into the city and pick up odd from at party at 12am, this should teach him for abandoning me for the week !

I've had the best out there for the last 32 years lovethislovethis

He does the dishes, does laundry, helps out with the daycare, runs our teenage daughters to school on cold mornings (even though the high school is a block away!) etc etc.

I used to do daycare in a house that was not our home. My son and I ran it. My hubby was the stay at home dad. I got home each night to a spotless house and he often had dinner started. Now we do daycare in our home and he still takes care of so much. He even insists on lifting the kids on and off the changing table when I change diapers, so I don't strain my arm (I have an injury that plays up sometimes)

He tells me to sit on the couch when I get flustered and rubs my feet to calm me.

He writes me poems and letters and makes homemade cards. I have one that says "Guess how long I'll love you?" on the front. When the card is opened, there is a picture of two mirrors facing each other reflecting for....eternity.

He's a keeper! lovethislovethislovethis

I have to say this, with everything that happened today, my dh was AWESOME. He came home from work, picked his kids up from 'daycare', washed the dishes, and then as I was sending out emails to my registrar, answering phone calls and typing up letters, he took our kids out to play, made dinner, put laundry in, and gave them baths AND BROUGHT ME A GLASS OF WINE.

He totally 'gets' how hard this job can be some days, and NEVER says ANYTHING about the house, or his picking up the slack- that he always does. Most days he shakes his head and says "I don't know how you do it!"

I think he deserves a pat on the back. lovethis

Sounds like you have a wonderful DH!!!! Nothing in the world makes life so wonderful than having a great hubby!

Mine rocks too!

He does ALL the cooking, dinner is on the table when I arrive home every night!

He scoops litter, does laundry, cleans, shops for essentials and will clothes shop with me ANYWHERE I want to go, and he knows how to sew and has no problem replacing a button or hemming something (thank you MIL for teaching ALL 5 of her boys to sew!)

He also does ALL our house maintenance, he is part plumber, electrician and car mechanic! We have NEVER paid anyone ever for any of those things as he does them all and does them very well!

He has been my best friend for 26 years, the best hubby for 23 years and a great father for 24 years..(yes, we married AFTER our DD was born)

My husband is definitely awesome! I'm pregnant (almost 13 weeks) and he has been doing his share and mine for about 7 weeks because I have been so sick and tired. He comes home from working all day, cleans up the common areas, cleans and sorts the playroom, puts laundry in, changes our daughter, and whatever else needs to be done. I'm a lucky gal indeed.
