[quote=Anonymous]I’ve never sent my husband back to the grocery store. But I know I have said things like “oh you didn’t get x...?” And he would promise to go back later that day or the next to get it. Sometimes I would say that’s not necessary, no rush, or if it was something we did need right away, I would say thank you.

He’s always been super helpful around the house. He is the type of person who notices the trash is full, takes it out, then replaces the bag right away. Same with other basic adult chores like noticing when we need more TP, paper towels, groceries, new clothes for the kids, bigger winter boots, etc. I probably do more of the cleaning but he is an extremely involved parent (I’d say we share the primary parent role) and he is very handy around the house, which I appreciate.

Very early on after having our first baby, I did have to ask him for more help. I was EBF and struggling with the sleep deprivation so we decided together to switch to formula so he could take the first shift. We’d put the baby down at 7, he’d do a dream feed at 10, then I wouldn’t have to get up until 2 or 3.

He’s a guy who has always cared about my well being though. When I was a SAHM to 3 kids under 4, he suggested we hire cleaning help and a part time nanny. I can’t fathom being with most of the men described in here. I think my love language is “acts of service” so I wouldn’t have been attracted to them in a long way.
