We didn't have all the ingredients to make it exactly like the first time he made it (no sour cream or bacon, argh) but the cauliflower and broccoli were n't going to last much longer, and i didn't want to eat them in any of the normal ways.</p> <p>He's always cooking me special dinners- he does almost all the cooking, and otherwise Grandad makes a few meals.<br /> I CAN cook, but I really hate it. The running joke is that I can burn water, but it's not true. I'll bake anything, but I really dislike the stove. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899507 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:01:44 +0000 erinpye 1899507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does nice things for me every day. He wakes up with the kids every morning, and I get to sleep until almost 8! He comes home often for lunch, he does a lot of our family's dinners. He researched the best nursing bras by reviews, and ordered one for me. I could list a lot of things--He's pretty great. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899499 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:57:53 +0000 Cherrybee 1899499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am dealing with a lot of really difficult things at work right now and DH has been taking such an active role, encouraging me, helping me to brainstorm solutions and generally just being interested. It makes things seem less huge, y'know? Manageable. I'm so grateful for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899444 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:19:24 +0000 mediagirl 1899444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bought us Netflix again so I can watch Food Network shows and planted a bunch of wildflowers in the back that are just now starting to bloom. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899267 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:38:04 +0000 Boheme 1899267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of things. He cleaned the whole house this weekend while I had to take LO somewhere, and it was such a nice surprise to come home to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899242 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:19:10 +0000 Smurfette 1899242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: this is why I leave the lawn to DH. I will help bag leaves and limbs when he cuts them. But 90% is all him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899237 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:17:41 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1899237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is part of his parenting responsibilities, but he took care of LO while I was on a business trip for 3 days. I am eternally grateful for our equal parenting. I never have a single worry when I have to go away for work and leave LO with my DH. I just never take that for granted and make sure he knows how grateful I am to have him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899232 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:15:01 +0000 Adira 1899232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Because I refuse to mow his side. It's got a rough hill and I fell and scraped my knee the one time I tried to do it! So now we both just do our own sides. Plus it's the little exercise I get each week... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899218 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:07:19 +0000 Smurfette 1899218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Why don't you just switch off weeks? I wouldn't want to go out and get all sweaty every week for that short of a time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899213 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:05:29 +0000 Adira 1899213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: @Smurfette: haha, I know, we're weird. Our lawn isn't that huge - it takes about an hour to mow total, so we each mow for about 30 minutes. We just split it down the middle (the driveway separates the two sides and then we have a path from our deck into the woods in the back that separates the two sides). He takes the hilly side and I take the flat side. :P</p> <p>And no, we don't split the house, although we both do different chores and usually clean the house together (like he'll be picking up while I'm vacuuming). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899192 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:54:10 +0000 Smurfette 1899192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen DH around less then 48 hours (counting sleeping time) in the last week, so we haven't had a ton of time. But he made me laugh a lot this weekend, and I really needed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899182 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:48:37 +0000 BSB 1899182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the little things... I've asked him last week to clean the microwave and I asked him again yesterday and he did it! I hate nagging him but I love it when he does things promptly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899172 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:46:38 +0000 IRunForFun 1899172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Jinx!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899170 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:45:44 +0000 Smurfette 1899170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Your side of the lawn? You split up the lawn? Do you split cleaning the house? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899168 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:45:02 +0000 IRunForFun 1899168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm everything? I've been going through a bit of a rough patch and he just tells me to relax and rest and not worry about anything but myself. He makes me coffee every morning, too, which is much appreciated. :happy: </p> <p>@Adira: You have sides of the lawn? How big is your backyard? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899132 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:16:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1899132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is always so nice! He is very sentimental, romatic, and complimentary, so he says super nice things to me often. He's really good at making me feel special all the time. The other day he brought me flowers and wrote a really nice letter for my bday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899128 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:14:20 +0000 Adira 1899128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He mowed my side of the lawn because he knows I'm sore!</p> <p>And prior to that, he spent 3 nights in the hospital with Xander sleeping on their uncomfortable guest bed so that I could go home and sleep in our comfortable bed and not have to worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1899123 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:11:31 +0000 Mae 1899123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: haha yep! I generally handle overnights by myself and he gets up with Fiona whenever she wakes for the day, so long as it is after 6am. Then she's awake for about an hour before she needs to bed fed/have a nap and he wakes me up and I do that. Sat night we reverse and he handled overnight and I got up with her when she woke up. But Fiona doesn't eat overnight so our nights are (generally) not as bad as yours are! Really the best thing though was last night he was like "man I don't know how you do that every single night. I did it one night and I know she had a really good night by her standards (was only up 4 times and just need her paci) and I'm exhausted! Even if you don't have to be up very long just getting woken up so much makes it so you can't ever relax an get good sleep." I was like omg... HE FINALLY GETS IT. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898858 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 08:46:18 +0000 snowjewelz 1898858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too many for this pregnant lady! </p> <p>He boils me eggs for breakfast every morning! </p> <p>He volunteers to wash dishes and clean up after meals even though he cooks 100% of the time already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898483 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 18:16:15 +0000 Blueberry 1898483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH doesn't work Friday, Sat, and Sun so those are my sleep in days :) and he gets LO dressed for me every morning while I make breakfast and his lunch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898481 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 18:13:22 +0000 twodoghouse 1898481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: The WHOLE night shift? Damn girl! I bet it was nice to sleep!</p> <p>DH stayed home with our kids while I went to visit a friend's newborn today. It was nice to be able to snuggle the new baby without fretting about my own. Plus, when I got home both babies were napping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898396 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 15:31:43 +0000 AngelicOne 1898396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gave me a massage last night. We did lots of errands and walked around Ikea for like 3 hrs and it killed my lower back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898386 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 14:56:40 +0000 Mae 1898386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took the night shift last night so I could sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898364 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 13:57:31 +0000 Boogs 1898364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He washed the dishes last night. And some of the days he was home the last few days he occupied LO1 in the morning so I could get a few extra minutes asleep since I'm the one up with the baby at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898325 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:48:51 +0000 winniebee 1898325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got up with our son the past few mornings since he was finally off and I haven't been sleeping well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898310 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:24:58 +0000 lawbee11 1898310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gave me a foot massage last night while we watched tv :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898308 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:22:38 +0000 avivoca 1898308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He sent me flowers for my birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898279 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 10:53:35 +0000 yerpie110 1898279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went out of his way to pick up my favorite dessert (a pint from Chinatown ice cream factory, the friggin best!) while he was in the city for work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-something-nice-your-so-did-for-you-recently#post-1898236 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 10:01:37 +0000 cmomma17 1898236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tells me I'm beautiful all the time and on his last day off he made a giant veggie lasagna!
