My baby's daddy is so great because

[Anonymous]

since the day my DD was born, he has woken-up for every feeding, has changed an equal amount (if not more) diapers than me, but most of all wakes up every morning early, to take DD out for a walk in our stroller while he drinks coffee and I get an extra hour of sleep. I love this man.

Anyone else care to share a good thing about your partner? I'm thinking mostly of Dads because Father's Day is coming. This might be a nice thread to print and share?

Congrats, it's great to hear your DH is so helpful. I have nothing to share about my DH but it makes me smile that you have great things to say

My DH takes night shift. I get to sleep away. DS does not sleep through the night and whenever he travels I notice how exhausted I get after two nights...

My DH also makes DS giggle like mad. They have some crazy boy-bonding thing where they egg each other on.

And finally he's also crazy proud of DS. Brags about his drooling. I mean, really truly thinks anything this child does is remarkable. You'd never believe many billions of humans have been born and learned to crawl and stand before our child....

I have a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old. DH always, literally always, changes the poopy diapers when we are both around.

He changes any diaper that needs changing.
He loves to play with our children.
He cleans all the time.
He supports my career.
He looks amazing.
He loves me.

I like this thread. It is good to sit back and appreciate our significant others. Mine sure needs it. I get caught up in the work/school/kids grind and take my stress out on DH. He is wonderful.

I should have never read this post. I'm going to crawl back into my cold dark lonely hole now.

Because he wakes up every single morning with DD! And did all the midnight to morning feedings when DD was still waking up at night.

He is crazy about his daughter!

He's responsible and trustworthy -- a 'grownup' papa

He taught DD to sing several Beatles songs

He makes dinner almost every night

He's a snuggler and generous with hugs and kisses

he is a billion times better at thinking of fun games to play with DS and things that will make DS laugh than I am. He is willing to take DS swimming three times a day while we are on vacation while I punk out after the first swim. Also, he changes at least 50 percent of the poopy diapers, and does all of our wash.

He is the cook and grocery shopper. He is the bath giver and the day care dropper offer. He got up for the first shift for the first two years of weekend mornings and now that I haven't been getting up in the middle of the night for a while, he trades off with me. He is in charge of naps. He is great at playing and really LIKES little kids and really really adores our daughter. He feels the same need to limit his hours at work since having a child that I feel. He makes me laugh, is good at being happy and making me happy, and thinks I'm beautiful. And did I mention he cooks? And brings cupcakes home for me once a week or so.

[Anonymous]

Oh, and he does his own laundry.

[Anonymous]

Can I trade mine in somewhere??

From day one, DH read all the parenting and pregnancy books with me, has been involved in child care as much as I, and made baby food from scratch for our son. He took a year off from his job to take care of our son full-time when he was an infant. These days, he picks up our son from preschool and takes care of everything in the evenings. He shops for groceries and cooks dinner almost every night, cleans, does laundry. We're truly partners in every way. And he still manages to make time for himself and for us, and is fully supportive of anything I want to do career-wise and personally. He is kind, generous, and fun.

I found a Barbie clog in his coat pocket.
