He's an awesome provider, he wakes up earlier than he has to so he can get dd ready in the mornings, he changes diapers, does bath time, washes the dishes constantly, he washes and folds clothes and never complains. He is the best thing to ever happen to my daughter and I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862751 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:11:49 +0000 looch 862751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does whatever he needs to do and then some. He'll pack boxes if I need boxes packed or he'll make lunch for us. I tell him often how wonderful he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862695 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:55:21 +0000 Adira 862695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs is an amazing father.</p> <p>When Xander was first born, Hubs did almost EVERYTHING for him, except feed him because I was nursing. He changed every dirty diaper, outfit, did the bathing, swaddling, comforting, bedtime, etc. He also did all the cooking and cleaning around the house and waited on my hand and foot to make sure I was taken care of too!</p> <p>Now that Xander's older, Hubs still does bath time, helps put Xander to bed, gets up in the middle of the night to change Xander's diaper before I nurse him, and if Xander is crying, Hubs jumps in to try to comfort him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862684 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:51:12 +0000 Alivoo01 862684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 32 weeks along, but hubby has been amazing throughout my pregnancy. He never complains about my naps (which can be 2+ hours sometimes), wakes up and massages my calves when I cramp up and gets upset at me when I don't wake him up -LOL!, he's uber patient and extra loving. and for once, when I ask him to help me out with something, he does it without complaint and willingly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862392 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:47:22 +0000 singingbee 862392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this thread! </p> <p>When we lost our first LO, DH was super supportive of anything I was feeling and was so ready to start trying again. He was just amazing for me and, even though he was hurting, he stayed strong for me. </p> <p>Now that we are pregnant again, he is always checking up on me. He is making sure that he is providing for us. He lets me stay at my teaching job in another town, since his job is out of town, because it is such an amazing job. He always gets me little treats, just because. He also loves my dog, which is now our dog, because she adores him as well. He is just a wonderful guy and I'm so happy to have in my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862371 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:38:26 +0000 NovBaby1112 862371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my hubby is an amazing father to our little girl! i seriously couldn't have made it through these last 7 months without him :)</p> <p>he takes off 1 day a week during the work week to watch our daughter<br /> he wakes up early on the weekends so i can sleep in<br /> he handles night wakings if she isn't hungry, but fussy or sick<br /> he is so hands on and interactive with her, she has so much fun with her daddy<br /> she is the light of his life and he makes it known to anyone who he talks to<br /> he has never once gotten overwhelmed or frustrated with her, even though I am guilty of that at times esp in the beginning when she wasn't sleeping well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862332 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:22:16 +0000 GrapeCrush 862332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is an amazing daddy</p> <p>he has done all bathtime/bedtime routines(with the exception of maybe a dozen) since LO was born(13 months)<br /> he works hard to provider for him, and his future daughter. and so I can be a SAHM when #2 gets here.<br /> he gets up with him every morning and hangs out with DS before he leaves for work.<br /> he takes him places for just Daddy and Son time.<br /> changes diapers, feeds him, clothes him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862299 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:04:43 +0000 littlek 862299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a great daddy!</p> <p>He works 70 - 80 hours a week to provide for us and works late so he can spend some time with us during the week.

And now with A he is amazing as well!<br /> We take turns with who gets up with her. She has started STTN for about two weeks now but he and I will switch with how gets up with her in the morning so the other can sleep.<br /> He changes her, makes/washes bottles, jumps in if I'm getting frustrated about something, defends our choices with having a bedtime schedule to my inlaws that just don't understand why we think it's important, ALWAYS has my back and gives me all his support, he cleans more/better than I do and that's all while he works as well.<br /> When the older LO's are in school he makes sure their homework is done if he's home before me.<br /> I am so lucky this time around with him as their daddy. I didn't realize their were hands on dads like him.<br /> I am very thankful and tell him often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862185 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:03:26 +0000 dagret 862185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He works really hard, does all the house maintenance, loves playing with L and cuts the baby's fingernails and toes so I don't have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862131 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 04:57:34 +0000 tlcbaby 862131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love reading these!</p> <p>A is a week old and I think DH had held two or three babies before becoming a father. Never changed a diaper or been around a newborn. But he knows exactly what to do- he holds A, helps with his baths, brings me whatever I need while A is eating, does most of the cooking and dishes, reads to him, and even tries to entertain him so Mommy can eat, too. He really has been a great Dad. </p> <p>Oh and not once, but twice, he has surprised me with frozen yogurt this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-862100 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:56:07 +0000 sera_87 862100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today, on his first daddy's day, he took care of LO solo for 8+hours while i went with my BFF to emerg (for her, not me).<br /> I didn't even get to make him breakfast before I left :(</p> <p>He rocks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861955 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:52:14 +0000 lemondrop 861955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's taken care of me and C all weekend since I've been sick with a fever and worthless on his one full weekend he gets off this month, not to mention that it's FD weekend :( Hopefully I can make it up to him soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861953 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:50:58 +0000 swedishfish 861953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby isn't here yet but my DH has been here for me every step of the way during this pregnancy. He took care of me during our IVF cycle, during horrible "morning" sickness, and now even while working two jobs. I know he's going to be a wonderful parent to our baby - probably better than me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861863 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:02:58 +0000 travelgirl1 861863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He works super hard so I can stay home with A, is fab at making her laugh, is absolutely head over heels in love with her, makes up songs about her, stories about her toys and the fact that she gives him the biggest ear-to-ear smile when gets home every day shows just how fab he is in A's world, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861860 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:00:48 +0000 apis 861860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beehive: thanks very much!</p> <p>Sounds like there are a lot of amazing dads around here, so I'm glad to be in such good (virtual) company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861858 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 19:58:45 +0000 MrsF 861858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is such a supportive partner and loving father. He got up for every single night feeding and would change M's diaper and bring her to me and stay awake while I nursed her (even while I was telling him to sleep). He does bath time, feeds her, plays with her, sings to her and is the only one who can consistently make her laugh. He works hard all day and rushes home to take her and give me a break when we've had a hard day. He gets up early before I can even hear her on the monitor and lets me sleep in. He takes care of M on his own while I work overnights and weekends and I never have to wonder if he knows what to do. He would do anything for me and for her and we are so very blessed to have him. I knew he would be a great Dad but he's just blown me away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861704 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:58:27 +0000 Ree723 861704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so thankful to have such an amazing husband - I truly have hit the husband jackpot and am so grateful every single day.</p> <p>He works long hours at a great job and is completely supportive of my decision to be a SAHM</p> <p>He does 99% of the cooking in our household and actually enjoys it, which is good because I hate cooking!</p> <p>He is a very hands on daddy and never once has said or suggested that I manage any night time wakings because he has to work in the morning.</p> <p>He thinks the world of his baby girl and the love he has for her makes me love him even more.</p> <p>He makes me feel appreciated and loved every single day.</p> <p>There's so much more but we'll leave it at that for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861700 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:52:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 861700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does the lion's share of everything at home while I work too much. He almost always takes morning wake up with the girls and he always fills up my water at night. He is so patient and kind with the girls and can juggle just about everything to take them out by himself.</p> <p>Mr. Jacks is a true dad hero and did two years of stay at home duties to prove it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861697 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:51:07 +0000 MrsScallop 861697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has taken over pretty much all cooking, cleaning the kitchen, and straightening the living room so that I can get some things done for myself. He takes C every morning for a couple hours so I can go take a nap after being up early with C. He just loves being a dad and I am so grateful for everything he does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861690 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:43:32 +0000 Beehive 861690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has always shared parenting duties with me from the very beginning, getting up with me every night when LO still woke up in the middle of the night.<br /> He gets LO up every morning and changes him and brings him to me, and lets me get a few extra minutes of sleep.<br /> He takes care of all LO's diaper changes, even (especially) the ones in public restrooms and airplanes.<br /> He brings me water and my laptop when I'm nursing LO.<br /> He makes LO smile and laugh so much, every day.<br /> And he makes ME smile and laugh so much every day too!<br /> That's just the start of the list. Happy Father's Day, @apis:! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861576 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 15:44:10 +0000 petunia354 861576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is SO hands on and absolutely has loved interacting and playing with our son since the day he was born, which I know can be a struggle for some Dads. He also does all the night wake ups....which makes him a hero in my book :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861473 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:06:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 861473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What I'm most thankful with DH/why he is an awesome dad is the example for men that he is setting for our daughter from day one. He's very similar to my dad and he's 100% involved: does diaper changes, feedings, rockings to sleep, night wakings, stays home from work when she is sick, does daycare dropoffs/pickups, etc. While I bathe her, he cooks dinner and makes her bottles for the next day. He cleans the house more than I do, and we both take turns with baby so we each can get dedicated breaks to focus on our personal stuff and hobbies.</p> <p>Plus, he gets up with her every morning so I can get a little extra sleep (I am not a morning person!!!). </p> <p>LO is going to grow up knowing that it's totally normal and expected for men to clean, cook and care for children. In short, both DH and my dad rock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861459 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:51:09 +0000 sslm 861459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's been so supportive. He's my biggest bf'ing cheerleader! He goes to work all day and when he comes home he takes over baby duty. All evening he changes diapers, baby bounces, everything but feeding. It's amazing and I really enjoy the break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861453 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:46:22 +0000 Espion 861453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has so much on his shoulders right now. In the past two weeks we've sold a house, had a baby, and found a place to live where we're moving. In the next two weeks he has to be away for USN-R obligation and as soon as he gets back, the moving truck arrives to ship our household 4300 miles away. All while working a full time job, plus his USN-R commitment (which is essentially a full time job).<br /> And yet he changes diapers like a champ even though he's never been around babies. (I only caught him putting the dipe on backwards once, heh.) He never hesitates to take E when he's crying like crazy and sing country songs to him. He stayed up all night trying to get E to take a bottle and forced me to get 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep.<br /> I love this man to the stars and back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861432 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:29:25 +0000 Freckles 861432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH cooks, does dishes, grocery shops, and takes care of the yard. He comes home by 5pm so he can spend time with LO and help me with dinner/bedtime. He gives her baths, reads to her, and makes her laugh like crazy. He is a provider, but doesn't feel like that's where his responsibility stops.</p> <p>I am lucky to have someone who sees me as an equal partner and doesn't feel as if i have to be the stereotypical wife/mother. He has deep appreciation for what i do, and tries to find ways to make things easier for me. </p> <p>LO and I are very lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861409 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:10:51 +0000 stargal 861409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He works 70-80 hour weeks to provide for us while going to school and still helps with p all the time. Gets up with him. He was my biggest supporter breastfeeding when we were still bfing he helped so much. He is in love with our boy so much, p is a very lucky boy! Couldn't ask for a better daddy, I'm so proud and thankful for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-brag-why-your-dh-is-awesome#post-861374 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 12:25:38 +0000 immabeetoo 861374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great thread! DH is an amazing dad, he loves playing with and taking care of our son. I am so glad to have a 50/50 partner!
