Does your DH compliment your parenting skills?

As in, tell you you're a good mom/wife. 

I was just wondering. My mom just out of the blue posted something really sweet on my FB Wall basically saying she's proud of me and I'm a wonderful mother even though things can get stressful and that I was beautiful inside and out.

I've also seen my Cousin IL, who's wife had a baby like 2 weeks after me, post things like, "I'm blessed to have such a wonderful mother for my daughter." Or "L and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful mother and wife."

It was really sweet and much needed after our fight last night. But it also got me thinking.. I don't think I've ever been told anything like that by DH.  

I know I'm a good mom. I'm doing my best at something that can be pretty stressful. And DD is a happy, healthy baby. But it's still nice to hear sometimes.

I checked Nope cuz DH doesn't say anything. I guess he's thinking good stuff so hard that he believes it will somehow float to my brain or that we'll lock eyes and he'll be mind sending me stuff, who the hell knows. But no, no compliments from him.

DH tells me I am a good mom or that I did a good job figuring out his sleeping and eating, things like that. It kind of surprised me as he doesn't usually say those things, so I get all "awww mang" when he says something like that.

I don't think he's ever said to me that he thinks I am a good mother. But he says to DS all of the time "You love your mommy the best, don't you?" and "You only want your mommy, don't you?" He knows that I know exactly what DS needs and wants (most of the time!) and I kind of feel like he's telling me indirectly that he thinks I am a good mum.

When Sully was first born, I got them all the time. Now, not so much. It'd be nice to hear, but I don't go all gushy about what a good dad he is, even though I totally feel that way, so I can't expect him to, either.

The only thing he ever says about my parenting skills is how crazy and over protective I am >_> I'm so sorry if I don't want to switch to whole cow milk because it's cheaper or put my 9 month old forward facing

yes.

Actually my father just called me last night too to tell me. It both cracked me up and made me tear up a  little. He said he wrote up a proclamation.  I was something like, hear ye hear ye and then about how I had surpassed even the Virgin Mary as a Mother and I had reached "Motherus Supermus Maximus" lol. It was long and halirious. My dad is not good at expressing his feeling without humor, he said he's putting it on a plaque for me.

He says all the time that I'm such a good mom. Then again, he tell me I'm a shiitty mom when we get in fights sometimes. He's all over the map.
