Any new ones since being pregnant/ having kids?
-
Mine is really calm and never stressed about anything. He brings me back to reality when I start freaking out about something. He's also great when the kids are sick (unlike me!).
-
His kindness.
We don't have kids yet, but since our stillbirth, I appreciate the way that even though he's very independent, he's still willing to do whatever I need and be near me as much as I need it.
He has a million friends who have also been great to us. He's the kind of person that will do anything for his friends, and in return they're amazing back to us.
-
His support and love (and patience as long as it's not in the MOTN. lol).
-
@lamariniere: Same with my DH! He is the rock while I tend to freak out/stress/worry!
@Alivoo01: Haha yeah, I remember we'd get so mad at each other for those rough no sleep nights! But in the morning it's literally like it didn't happen, haha!
-
He's such a grounded, rational individual. Keeps me from spinning out of control
-
That he is selfless in supporting us all financially so that I can stay at home with DS. It's obviously not forever but it's a huge sacrifice that I'll always be thankful for. It's really hard to lose my own financial independence but he is so great about expressing how much it means that I'm taking care of everything at home. That's important to me because it's hard not to feel guilty sometimes.
-
He doesn't need a lot of sleep to function. Hurray! I always have friends who do all the night wakeups because their husband "has to wake up and go to work". I'm so happy that my husband is willing and able to do half the night wakeups in spite of going to work, because he understands staying home with two kids is no cake walk either!
-
That he's an optimist.
-
He's incredibly hardworking and funny.
-
He is so patient and calm
He definitely balances me out! I think his traits will be sooooooo beneficial when LO comes in March.
-
@winter_wonder: Yes, it really will! You need a voice of reason when you're going nuts googling crazy things about your baby MOTN, or when you are just overwhelmed with BF, no sleep, etc!
-
His patience and determination! He kept us all going for the first 15 weeks of my pregnancy when morning sickness knocked me down. He's the best daddy and husband!
-
@Anagram: Yes, his low sleep needs! He's done way more wakeup than I have!
Also his patience. He can withstand any type of meltdown, tantrum or attitude and not be phased by it. He can also sit on the floor and play for hours. It's amazing!
-
His honesty. If he tells me something is fine, it is fine. If he doesn't mind doing something, he really doesn't mind doing it. No hidden meanings.
-
DH just always has my back, 100%. He's so supportive, so encouraging, so patient. He's 100% committed to me and our family and he will do anything and everything to make sure we are okay.
-
He is not easily rattled or upset. It is awesome because I am more type A and anxious. It really helps since having kids because I get freaked out when I can't figure them out, and so much of parenting is just out of your control.
-
@lamariniere: Ditto.
I think for me, DH is everything I'm not. He compliments my personality.
I feel like I freak out about everything. Even the smallest social choices and he talks me through them. He is the calm in my storm.
Also I always say to other people... I get the ball rolling and usually let it go after that... and DH is the one that rolls it to the rest of the way to the finish line.
-
He's kind and has a very mellow, calm demeanor...a good balance for me and my bitchy resting face.
-
He's a total co-parent, which in my opinion should be a given but it isn't always.
-
He's funny and determined and he often pushes me out of my comfort zone to try something I'm sure will not work... and then it does. He's also really outgoing, and the little village that DS has in his life is mostly thanks to him!
-
His patience with both LOs, and his consideration towards me if I have a bad night with the newborn. Like @meredithNYC's DH, he's also a co-parent, and I appreciate that so much.
-
I didn't answer my own post. He is so hardworking, ambitious, loves to learn. He can be really serious- M being a Dad has brought more joy and laughter in our home.
-
I just love him more every day, and the love he has for our children continually astounds me and impresses me.
He's so hardworking and loyal and even sweet on occasion lol
It's our 5 year anniversary on Friday and I can say I love him more now than I did on our wedding day
He definitely balances me out! I think his traits will be sooooooo beneficial when LO comes in March.
