I found it fasinating when one of my friends who is a SAHM said that it is her DH's turn to look after their one year old in the weekends so that she can have a break. So he has to work at financially supporting the household five days a week and then come home and give her a break from parenting in the weekends? Madness.
I appreciate my DH on a daily basis for providing the lifestyle that we have. ]]> Tue, 24 May 2011 12:48:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39297&PID=1332757&title=men-in-our-lives#1332757 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39297&PID=1332667&title=men-in-our-lives#1332667 Author: EmDee

This is so true.

I definitely appreciate what he does, not only earning money to support us, but also being an awesome Dad, but I don't actually say it out loud as often as I should *makes mental note to tell DH tonight*]]> Tue, 24 May 2011 10:57:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39297&PID=1332667&title=men-in-our-lives#1332667 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39297&PID=1332583&title=men-in-our-lives#1332583 Author: AandCsmum

Yip the main breadwinner doesn't always get much credit but in our family I tend to make sure little things are done for DH to make life a wee bit nicer for him.

I make his lunch every morning, make dinner every night and try to make sure that when he gets home the house is semi tidy. As much as I don't like doing the same things every day he must totally hate having to get up and go to work everyday too!

Im pretty lucky I get to stay home and raise the family and not miss out on the little things DD does like DH has to from being out of the home.]]> Tue, 24 May 2011 08:17:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39297&PID=1332545&title=men-in-our-lives#1332545 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39297&PID=1332498&title=men-in-our-lives#1332498 Author: escadachic

Well it might not just be men but those that go out of the home to work while we stay at home looking after the kids.

I followed up on my thread jack and told my husband when he got home from work about how much I appreciated that he goes to work & slogs his heart out so that I can stay home & raise our kids. I told him that we usually bitch about how under appreciated we are but realised that we never gave them credit for keeping on bringing in that bacon.

I think he was pleasantly surprised.]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 22:28:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39297&PID=1332472&title=men-in-our-lives#1332472
