along with all the crappy that’s going on that I usually write about.
Ok, total DH brag here, so if you are mad at your guy, or just men in general, you may want to skip 
DH didn’t want kids. I think he was petrified of the thought. Long story short, we had a son a year ago. He was planned, DH came around and was on board, but of course still apprehensive and scared in general. I never doubted that he would be a great father, but let me tell you, boy did I pick the right guy to have a child with. Not just because he is a great father, he’s a great person to co-parent with. It’s totally 50/50 in our household, this wasn’t something we really discussed beforehand (although we should have, of course), but it’s just the way things naturally fell. He has no qualms about being home alone with our son; feeding, bathing, changing, playing with, soothing, he does it all, without prodding or pleading. He picks him up from daycare everyday since he gets off well before me. He takes him to the store, to friend’s houses, the doctor. He’s engaged fully in his child’s life. If I need time alone, he’s more than happy to give it to me. He helps with dishes, laundry, cleaning. And he does it all with NO asking from me.
He’s not perfect. His dishwashing is atrocious. He misses the toilet more than he’ll ever admit. When he hangs up clothes it looks as if a one armed toddler did it. He avoids confrontation at all costs. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to criticize his dishwashing skills when he took the initiative to empty a whole sink full. I’ll quietly load them into the dishwasher, hoping he doesn’t notice. He has a very fragile ego (as most men do), so I’ll protect him from my opinion of his cleaning efforts.
I have no clue why I’ve lucked out in the man department. Sure, we’ve had our fights, and even major disappointments in each other. But even going through all of that, I know we still have a better relationship than most. Will it last forever? Eh, who knows. But I’m sure as hell going to enjoy it while I have it. And if we move on from one another one day (though I hope that never happens), I will never regret choosing him to spend such a huge part of my life with, and choosing him to parent with.
I don’t tell him this enough, I really need to do that. He deserves a kick-ass father’s day present.
