Hahaha... WOW... I am an early poster who praised my DH for letting me sleep in every Saturday and Sunday while he gets up with our daughter. I'm sorry, but this isn't expected of anyone and therefore I truly truly appreciate it. I also have a friend whose husband truly doesn't get it with regards to diaper changes - as in, he never ever remembers to do it. Ever. Maybe some men just don't have that kind of instinct like women do... but my DH does and for that I am thankful.
Just like I appreciate compliments and praise at work for a job well done (a job which I was hired to do, of course)... I appreciate the same praise from DH whether it is telling me how beautiful I look or that I'm an awesome mother. I know how good it makes me feel and I like to give him the same appreciation. As much as you naysayers are blasting everyone while claiming your marriage is "so wonderful"... hmm, I have my doubts. I certainly wouldn't want to be married to someone as negative as you are and will thank my lucky stars every day that I don't have to deal with your negativity in my marriage! |

| I do not understand the acrimony. This is really a matter of style. I personally derive more pleasure from administering harsh criticism but I realize that most do not. |

No, just adult killjoys who should know better. |

He's not fat, ugly or old, isn't a nag and takes care of the house and kids 100%.

| While it is the case that all dads SHOULD do their full share of parenting and drudgery, in my experience it is a minority of dads who do. Thus my feeling of profound gratitude that in my life these jobs really are equally shared. It is sad that it is unusual, but unusual it definitely is. |

| Debbie downers, I agree that husbands who are doing their 50% shouldn't really be praised. But - when I see some of the crap that my friends put up with, I really do appreciate him! Thank goodness I don't have to fight to get him to do his 50+% (for sure, he does more than I do) with DS and around the house. Love him! |

There's an INSTINCT to clean up pee & poop? Who knew? And only women have it? So when a guy cleans up shit, he's a hero? |

That's how slackers get rewarded. Profound, indeed. |

| yea, it looks like she's reviving a lot of older threads based on her inability to correctly quote older passages... |

He is the first one to get out of bed when daughter cries at night.
He brings her to and from daycare. Yes, he's one of those dads with the baby in the Ergo. Because when daughter wants to be comforted she usually goes to daddy first. |
