Is your husband awesome?

Emotionally supportive, even-keeled, very active in DC's life, hard working, splits childcare and household duties evenly (or takes on more than I do sometimes), positive attitude, loving, thoughtful. Couldn't ask for more.... well maybe independently wealthy I suppose.

This for me too. My husband is awesome. In fact, I also think he is the husband some one saw in the grocery store and couldn't stop staring...

No, that was me and he wasn't married (or at least wasn't wearing a ring and was young enough that he feasibly wouldn't be married yet). I'm sure your husband is great though.

I feel like I am in the minority, but I have a husband who works hard to be an equal partner and takes his parenting duties seriously. He loves our child and does so much for our family. Chime in here if you feel the same way.

Mine is the same way. He has even changed his share of diapers.

Mine is amazing but I'm hard on him and need to stop. I'm a SAHM so, yes, I do most of the child-related care and planning but he is wonderful in the mornings and when home from work. He regularly encourages me to get out and volunteers to watch our DS. He even brings me my favorite ce-cream on the way home from work.

I grew up in a household where my Mom worked and my Dad did an equal (if not greater) share of the child care and household duties. There is no way I would have married someone unless I knew he would be an equal partner in family duties. We're not rich (i.e. he's not a workaholic) but we eat breakfast and dinner together everyday, he does most of the cooking, he takes the kids on trips by himself so that I can have a break, etc. We have a great life.

I guess I don't consider it luck, I just had high standards and wouldn't compromise on them.

Hate to break it to you but there are awesome, rich dads, who are not workaholics. Whether you admit it or not. There are also also ass-holey poor ones.

Glad to see a husband appreciation thread here. Yes, mine is awesome. Not perfect (I'm not either), but awesome nonetheless.

I feel I'll jinx myself if I say yes.

Yes, I am awesome.

Yes, mine is the best! He's tall/dark/handsome and dresses well, makes significantly more money than me, and also does more housework. He'll bend over backwards to make his in-laws (my family) happy. He adores kids and can't wait to be a hands-on dad to our daughter. In general we just make each other really happy and marrying him was the best life choice I ever made. I know I got lucky so I try to show my appreciation with a steady supply of good cooking and BJs

My husband is fantastic. He's a great partner, great father, and great provider for our family. He's good looking, funny, wicked smart and puts up with my craziness at times. Love him.

I got lucky!!

Yes, he is. I appreciate him even more after I read some of the posts on DCUM. He's not perfect, but neither am I (or the kids).

Aside from the everyday house chores and child care duties we share, he buys me flowers every so often, not just on special occasions; he tells me I'm beautiful almost every day. He makes me feel special.

OMG, no kidding. My husband can always tell when I've read a particularly bad DCUM thread because I go find him and start giving him unsolicited kisses and back rubs. "I love you... Don't leave me..."

Mine too! And he's a great dad, loves our kids and is a fully involved parent.

Yes, he is. We've had disagreements like any couple but we always try to work on them.

Plus, he has an awesome relationship with our little girl and is always there when I'm feeling down or need someone to talk to.
