I'm impatient :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-91378 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:15:13 +0000 DigAPony 91378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @yoursilverlining: that kind of thing makes me feel weird. He usually lets me go first when we're going into someone's house or a store, though. I think of being a gentleman in a similar way as @cupcakemama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-91305 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:21:21 +0000 BoogieBea 91305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't even think it's crossed his mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-91282 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 12:46:18 +0000 tequiero21 91282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope and i don't think he ever has. i just asked him, did you ever open the door for me? he's like what? always! i was like the car door? he's like, what? never! why, you can't open the car door by yourself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-91259 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 12:01:41 +0000 lemondrop 91259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early on, yes. Also yes up until recently because neither of our cars had automatic door locks- and I get cold easily so he would let me in first. Now with the new car he puts the baby in while I get in on my own- doesn't bother me though. </p> <p>And I will definitely be teaching Cam to open doors for people when he gets older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-91194 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 10:40:23 +0000 autumnlove 91194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does sometimes. I don't think it is necessary since we have automatic lock on the cars. He opens doors to buildings when we are out without LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-91130 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 06:12:40 +0000 mediagirl 91130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does. :-) He holds the door for all ladies, including me, of course and tries to be the best gentleman he can. No boy ever come to our house and not open the door for our daughter! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-90089 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 23:22:57 +0000 cupcakemama 90089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't. I think there is more to being a gentleman than opening car doors. I'm more concerned about how DH cares for me emotionally and in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-90083 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 23:15:01 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 90083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, on date night for sure but other than that not very often anymore. He used to all the time before we got married... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-90077 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 23:07:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 90077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't. I don't like car doors always being opened for me by a man; its a weird power thing that I don't care for. (I'm not sure how to explain it better, sorry, it just rubs me the wrong way).</p> <p>My husband does almost always open the doors to buildings for me and other women, but most men in New England seem to do that for women. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-90073 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 23:00:50 +0000 MaisyMay 90073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! He opens my door, and when I get in I lean across to open his door. Sometimes I'll get out my keys and open my own door, but it's usually his job. His parents definitely raised him to be a gentleman. His dad opens his mom's doors too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-90010 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 22:01:13 +0000 betsyboop 90010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always! Maybe that will change once LO arrives, as @artbee said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-90002 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:58:04 +0000 mrbee 90002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a car, but it would never occur to me to open a car door for someone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-90001 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:56:31 +0000 mynoahbear 90001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always holds doors open, helps me with my coat, pulls out my chair, etc. When we are out with Japanese friends, the ladies are always amazed that he does things like that and ask if all men in the US do that because their Japanese husbands never do those things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89999 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:54:57 +0000 Boogs 89999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't, but I don't really see a need for it. He does hold doors open to places, and I do appreciate that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89987 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:49:36 +0000 daniellemybelle 89987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and I really wish he would. I always notice when men do that and I think it's awesome. My stepdad and my brothers do, in addition to all sorts of adorable acts of chivalry, so I guess I grew up used to it. I want to teach our son to, but unless his Dad does it he probably won't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89900 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:21:10 +0000 katdevargas 89900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, he does. esp since I've been pregnant. he's so sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89805 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:28:48 +0000 umlo 89805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Still does after 4 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89798 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:26:29 +0000 winniebee 89798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, nope, never! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89743 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:02:16 +0000 leelee 89743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when we are taking his car haha. I will definitely be teaching my son to always open the door for a lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89741 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:01:29 +0000 heffalump 89741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He did until lo. Now hes so busy putting lo in the car, and putting our pup in his seat belt, and putting the stroller in, etc. But if we go out just the two of us he still opens the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89649 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:30:45 +0000 Andrea 89649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if it's date night or something. Otherwise we are with the LO and he is always the one to put her in the car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89619 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:24:34 +0000 lilteacherbee 89619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, especially the first few months after we got married. DH's mom taught him to be a gentleman and I greatly appreciate that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89617 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:23:53 +0000 Rubies 89617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs doesn't only because I don't have the patience to wait! I'd rather just go ahead and open it myself. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89616 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:23:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 89616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does! He is a gentleman. Sometimes I beat him to it and he fusses at me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-open-car-doors-for-you#post-89613 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:22:38 +0000 chopsuey 89613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH opens mine SOMETIMES.<br /> ;P If I have a son, I'm totally going to teach him to be a gentleman! </p>
