...he only drives "my" vehicle once every week or two but always fills it up with gas, even if it's half full so I have to fill it less. 
What does your SO do that shows they care?

My SO entertained LO for a few hours so I could work on my craft project.
-
@stine_ciro: ooh, whatcha making?
-
DH likes to wash all the bottles at night and reminds me to leave it for him. I think it makes him feel more involved with the childcare activities? LOL (he comes home right before dinner M-F).
-
@NurseMommy: My DH does this too! Love it.
-
He's been handling all the paperwork and stressful parts of buying this house. I know I *could* figure it all out, but it's so confusing and overwhelming for me. I think it's mostly just because he's a control freak about these things so he needs to do it himself, but he also doesn't make me feel bad for not understanding half of it.
-
My DH picked up and finished cooking dinner for us because I was too tired to, being 40w3d pregnant. And he rubbed my feet and legs a bunch.
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: Hang in there mama! Glad you got some good rubbings - you deserve them
Oh, just the usual "come home and do everything while I sit around like a useless bump on a log pregnant wife" night over here, and I love him for it
-
@luckypenny: hahaha that is exactly my husband too! I don't really do many domestic duties at all now that I'm in school FT and work PT.
DH has been SO supportive of me going back to finish school, to the point that he does the dishes every day, does the laundry every weekend, and assumes all daddy-son responsibilities the entire weekend so I can focus 100% on homework. He is a HUGE blessing in my life and I couldn't do this without him
-
He played lovingly at home with our son while I went to zumba class with a friend.
-
Um, he calls every night when he gets out of work to let me know he's on his way home, and tonight when I told him I'd had a really long day he brought home 3 bottles of wine and a handle of scotch?
-
DH postponed dinner (he really likes the meal we were making tonight and gets VERY hungry when he doesn't eat on time) because he knew I wanted to go swimming and just float a little since I'm 37 weeks and feel huge. So we prepped our food, then left the house for an hour and a half before coming home to make dinner. I could tell he was starving, but he never said a word and just let me hang out in the pool until I decided to leave.
-
@lovehoneybee: sounds like my kind of love! Lol
-
He cleaned the kitchen top to bottom tonight as I watched Grey's Anatomy on Netflix
-
He really engaged in an intimate conversation I initiated about our emotional connection (or lack thereof recently). He really opened up. And then we got busy!
-
He took both kids to go pick up dinner with him and let me relax by myself at home last night. Haven't been alone without my baby since she was born a couple of months ago, even just for a few minutes.
-
He has been looking after our whiney toddler while I settle in with baby. Right now the toddler is WAY more work!
-
He wakes up extra early to light up the fireplace so it's nice and cozy when DD and I wake up.
-
He ran errands after work, brought home dinner and did some odd jobs that were bugging me before bed. He's also arranged to go into work late on Monday so that he can take my car to have our capsule installed... Just at the point I can't deal with things anymore LOL.
-
It is his birthday today!! I can't wait to see him when he gets home tonight.
-
He makes me breakfast and lunch everyday and helps me get out of the house in the mornings. I don't know what I'd do without him!
-
He spent the morning before he went OOT for work cleaning and making sure LO was in a good mood so Id have as easy a time as possible flying solo. Since he's been gone he's been checking in frequently even though he's working 24/7. I
that man
-
He didn't get mad when I got up late (I got mad yesterday when he did). Instead, he entertained LO and our dog so I could take a long enough shower to shave my legs.
Love that guy.
-
He preps the following night's dinner every night and insists that I relax and watch tv
-
He goes to get me Starbucks most mornings while I pump...he's pretty much the best
-
Our kid woke up at 5 AM this morning. I tried to nurse her back to sleep but she wasn't having it. He got up and said he'd play with her for a bit.
I woke up at 7:30, and she was back asleep! I"m eating my breakfast and drinking my coffee without a baby! Holy Sh*t!
And he has to go to work all day! I feel kind of bad about all the passive aggressive jabs I've been making this week (its been a rough one).
-
He takes care of everything to do with our vehicles. My battery just pooped out on my car, so he jumped it and then drove it to work (left me his truck) so that he could get it replaced for me. My car is always brushed free of snow and scraped in the mornings, and the driveway is clear. This means a lot to me in -30*C weather!
-
Cause yesterday he chased down the suv that did a hit and run on our mailbox. He got their lisence plate and called the sheriff. If it were just me at home yesterday I wouldn't have chased him down like that lol.
-
I'm always saying how I feel like a solo parent because I do literally everything around here on my own, even when he's home. I have been bummed because he has been working a lot lately too but yesterday he left work an hour early, came home, took care of DD while I made dinner & cleaned the kitchen (something I have never ever seen him do) while I put DD down for bed. He really went out of his way to make sure all 3 of us got to maximize our time together while he was home. It was really nice.
-
He started my car when he left the house this morning so it would be toasty warm for me and the boys when we left for daycare and work.
Last night, he handled making bottles and meal prep for today while I went to the gym.
-
He packed my lunch today, and he never forgets the little things like separating the mustard so my sandwich doesnt get soggy.
-
He got up with C so I could get ready for work. I walked out of the bedroom to see that he had made C a great breakfast, and they were playing on the floor
I love how hard he makes our baby laugh!
-
He got up with LO during her second MOTN waking so I could get a little extra sleep. He has a really bad stomach and missed sleep takes a toll on him, so I always appreciate when he does this!
-
@Dandelion: People are so rude. How do you not stop if you hit someone's mail box?
-
@Smurfette: happy birthday, Papa Smurf!!
-
@Smurfette: It was a pizza delivery guy! He slid off the road, cause of the ice (thankfully, he hit the mailbox and didn't end up down the ditch behind it)...but he was training someone too! Why in the world would pizza hut train someone on an icy day??
-
When he comes home from work today he's going to take M out so I can get some writing done. I usually do it at night but was so exhausted last night that I went to bed early. And tonight's out since I have an orchestra rehearsal in the city and won't get home til 11:30!
-
Even though he has to commute to work every morning and I work at home, he gets up 15 minutes early to take care of all of our pets so I can sleep an extra 30 minutes, every day.
-
I love him every day. But even more since having LO. But I love him because I honestly don't think I could have picked a better person in this world to have a baby with.
He does (almost) everything 50% (changing diapers, feeding LO, dressing LO, night time wakings). After reading these boards I realize a lot of husbands don't naturally do those things, and while I totally expect a father to do half the parenting, it's nice to not have to convince someone to want to do it.
Anyway. As I said...I love him even more after seeing how amazing he is with LO.

@Dandelion: Did you call Pizza Hut?
@MrBee: Thanks!
