I just read the post in which a SAHM writes a letter to a working mum and vice versa and it brought tears to my eyes.

But something struck me, as I was reading. I realised that some parts of the WOHM's letter equally applied to my DH..... but our society just doesn't give him the credit for it. The line that really struck me was the one that recognised the working mother for running a household alongside working - but, for me, I don't run the household, I share the running. In a world where the role of mother no longer looks like it used to, the role of father has also shape shifted. No longer does the father go out to work and then return home to his pipe and slippers! My DH comes home and plays with his daughter, gives his daughter a bath and puts her to bed. He folds laundry and cooks dinner and remembers that we need loo rolls when we go to the supermarket. Nobody writes him a letter....

So here is a little shout out for my DH, a WOHD. A dad who works hard to provide for his family and then comes home and starts working again in the home. A dad who gives up his leisure time to spend time with his daughter and doesn't think twice about it. A dad who pushes the pushchair everywhere we go! A dad who changed the bedsheets last weekend because it needed doing - no nagging required because, well, it's his home too! An equal partner in parenting, in household maintenance and in earning the money we need. He doesn't always get it right (who does?) but he gives us his very best - no praise or recognition required.

Do you want to give a shout out to your other half?
