Positivity post: What things do your husband's do that you love?

I'll start: He always positions me as a hero to my son (e.g. shows how excited he is to see me, gets animated when telling stories). It helps especially as I always traveled before and now lock myself in the other room for hours.

Literally everything.... gets up early with the kids. Cooks dinner every night. Does bath time. Covers the entire nighttime routine when I have to take a late call. Deals with my toddlers ridiculous attempts to push back bedtime. Sings both kids songs before bedtime. Let’s me sleep in on the weekend. Orders the groceries on amazon. Honestly I’m a total deadbeat wife having now created this list

Yes- agreed. I feel like I should do EVERYTHING on weekends, he even insists on letting me sleep in but then I take kiddo for the remainder of the weekend days. I am working on the guilt and we talk about it often. He points out that I keep a roof over our heads and food on the table, and still want to hang with kiddo at bedtime and on weekends. It’s amazing to have a strong partner.

My husband ensures I orgasm every.single.time. Plus, takes care if the kids, has a nice career, and cooks most nights. Is super patient and kind but also adventurous and hot.

He could definitely do better! lol

My husband is wonderful and does everything around the house but I wish he was more adventurous and fun!

OP: great topic and idea for a post, so thank you! Also highlighting it would have been great for many of us if it was more inclusive and less heteronortmative. For example consider next time replacing “husband” for “partner”. It will make many other women who are either not married but have a family with a boyfriend/partner, or who are married/in relationship with other women, or with a gender non conforming person, just feel SO much better and not left out. Thank you!

My wife... is aggressively committed to cooking meals daily that are good for me and our baby (who is due in a few weeks)

Supports my career and took a step back from traveling because he knows I want to make partner at BCG. He’s on a slower career trajectory, is primary parent four days a week, and has to deal with all of the shade he gets as a dude who isn’t the primary breadwinner. He’s amazing. I’m so lucky.

We’re 50/50 on responsibilities with one kid. I don’t feel like I have to manage him. Also, he cooks dinner 5 nights a week AND does the dishes afterward. I just have to sit down and eat.

My husband cleans! On his off days he will clean the entire house vacuum, mop, dust, clean the toilets and the tubs. I love it!

He also cooks me breakfast almost every other day since I have 7am meetings.

My husband does all the deep cleaning and the majority of the cooking. He is also my biggest career coach, in that every time I doubt myself he builds me up and tells me that I absolutely can make partner and crush it. He always tells me how proud he is of me as a mom and my career and that he is proud I make more than him

like

He also tells me when I’m work too much/ too hard/ let myself be too accessible to work. And that defining boundaries and standing up for myself at work is what “putting on the big girl pants” is all about

He takes the morning shift with our fourth month old so I can pump and get an hour more of sleep. Also does bedtime routine (I give her a bottle and he reads a book).

Makes dinner pretty much every night. Does bath time with our kids. Does bedtime with one or the other, and we each get one sleep-in day each weekend.

I’m grateful for the midweek laundry, taking care of personal household errands, and spontaneous cleaning! When I’m slammed he’s pretty good at supporting with meals and taking everything in the house off my plate. Also never ending sense of humor. This square needs it!

My husband cooks every night and listens to me bable on about work stuff I’m sure he doesn’t care about. He also has become good friends with my friends husbands which I appreciate And he’s just a really good partner - does his share of work, supportive of my job, apologizes when he does something mean and doesn’t get defensive

My husband is the lifeline of our house. He makes us all laugh, plays with each one of us just the way we want it, helps out in the house a lot, motivates us to learn and grow and stay healthy. Gives the warmest of hugs, appreciates my big and small efforts, and is the source of my strength. There are a few things which I particularly dislike and I have offloaded those to him and he gladly took them on. He is tall, handsome and VERY SEXY. And is great in bed! 🥳

How do you get spouses to cook?!? My husband nor I were into cooking. I’ve recently started to enjoy it but he really only makes pasta and salad. I have asked for him to make other things - he is too “afraid”. I’m not looking for gourmet but something different than tomato sauce, pasta, and salad. Trust me, I’ve cooked a dish with him but he “has to do it with me”. I don’t want to be the one cooking all the time when our kid is born (currently pregnant).

So interestingly - I brought this up to my husband and he said that he was thinking about wanting to learn a few dishes because he doesn’t want me to do all the cooking and knows I will need help! He made (with my verbal cues) a stir fry! Not monumental, but a start.

like

I love that he sees himself as an equal caregiver of our child. I never feel like the mental load of parenting is on me - he’s up to speed on all the baby books, actively solicits help from friends when we’re facing a challenge, reads up on his own. He’s never once made me feel like the baby is my job that he’s helping out with and I just love that
