Do you know how awesome of a wife I am?! I'm a heck of a catch!
I am SO on top of things. I schedule maintenance for our cars, deal with insurance agents, utilities, plan and cook meals AND I've mowed the yard lately. Ugggggh. I know he appreciates me but sometimes I just want to not have to.do it all. 
Not looking for anything in particular, unless you want to let me borrow your husband to mow my lawn

@MapleMoose: Lol funny you say wife points bc I told him one time that I was going to cash in my points for the ultimate prize of being a SAHM

Haha I feel ya! DH has been working on a project lately and I've had to pick up all kinds of slack on top of what I regularly do. I've taken the cars in for servicing, mowed the lawns, had a warm meal on the table every night, the house is spotless, the laundry baskets are empty, etc. And as hard as I know he's working, I'm working equally has hard and sometimes I think they just don't see it. I'll tell you, though, every single one of his thank yous has been much appreciated at least.

@babyjmama: I was just thinking the same thing to myself yesterday! It would be nice if it didn't always all fall on me!

I do tell my DH that he has the best wife ever. Luckily he agrees and tells me without me having to say it all the time.

You deserve that reward! Just think where things would be if it werent for your awesomeness 
I havent been doing anything too awesome but i want something for carrying not one but two of his babies. I told him it is rude of him not to carry his half!

YES. THANK YOU. I feel this way EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. DH works very hard at his job (physically!) so there's less left when he gets home. I do alllll the bills/finances, manage most of our maintenance anything, groceries, etc- and even manage our chore chart (bc yes I do have to FORCE him to do some.) I rock, and I know it!!!!!

LOL I don't think my husband realized how much I do until I got pregnant and was utterly useless for the first trimester! You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Sigh. I feel you. Wagon Sr. really does a LOT but most of it is because I have dictated to him what to do and exactly how to do it. So whenever a bill slips through the cracks or something hasn't been cleaned in a while, it's always my fault. Well, he doesn't really blame me but he looks at me with that blank stare... "well you never told me I had to do anything..." I'm sick of being the only one who knows anything about anything!!!! Can't he look at something and just do it because it needs to be done???
That being said... I cannot really complain because he really does do a lot.

@mrs. wagon: amen sista! The other day I asked DH to vaccuum and where and how. If I didn't ask, he NEVER would have thought to do it!

@cheert16: how are men seen as the 'dominant gender' they couldn't survive without us!
@Smurfette: awe! Good hubby!!!
@Lindsay05: haha! One time when I was PG he said something about being tired and I snapped 'im growing a HUMAN. A HUMAN. what did YOU do today?!' Bahaha it's a joke now but man I was pissed
@kjpugs: you DO rock! it's so funny but idk what I would do if I had free time. I don't have any. I just go-go-go.
@mrs. wagon: my DH goes in spurts mainly. Sometimes he's great, then he totally falls off the wagon. It would be much easier if he were consistent when he's on the wagon he acts like he's this saint and if I'm not doing something he gets frustrated, wtf?!

Girl, you are awesome! We pay to have the grass cut, because you know my chubby butt isn't going to get out there and do it.

@babyjmama: I do say it. I remind him weekly how friggn awesome I am.
And now what's worse is that E is saying DADA and totally stopped saying mama even though that was his first (& only) word for like 2 months straight. What gives...
Don't they know how awesome-sauce we are?!

Um, I totally tell my husband that. And he tells me the same thing about himself (it's true).
Why don't you just say it?!

You totally deserve to cash in those points!! I used to feel like this with DH, but he has really stepped up lately, thank god because i was going to lose my mind!
honeydew / 7091 posts
Heck yeah - wife points for you!! 
( <-- multi-functional!)
One thing I absolutely refuse to EVER do is mow the lawn. I am NOT getting sucked down that rabbit hole because then somehow I would end up having to do it all the time!
I think we need to remember how awesome we are, we do a lot of unappreciated work!
papaya / 10570 posts
Bah! My husband wont mow our lawns, never mind yours! My FIL did it last for me! But you can't borrow him, I need him!!!
I totally feel the same. I don't mind doing it, I just want him to notice!
pomegranate / 3383 posts
@heartonastring: same here!! I say it all the time.
My husband is more humble than I am but the fact that I toot my own horn and he agrees with me just makes me appreciate him more and verbalize the same.
Seriously, give it a shot ladies!

@babyjmama: you are awesome! I don't know how you do it all and work!! Gosh...R, needs to take some of the load off for you!!!
@TurtleDoves: I completely love this ecard. That's all I really want from my DH too.
DH doesn't get how hard my days are and how much I stay on top of everything. Like, his days off, he'll put the kids to bed but he won't clean anything so he really doesn't get a taste of what I go through. He plays on his phone while the kids play independently, totally not the same as when I read to them, play and interact with them all day all while cleaning up as I go!!!

@babyjmama: Woman, you are an amazing wife!! Ill give you the credit, even if R doesn't!
@HLK208: Your last paragraph is exactly how I feel. The way that DH takes care of E is not the same as what I do every day. I don't think he'll ever truly get it. But he does support me so ill just be thankful for that!
