If your DH/SO/DW could do anything to help you more,

what would it be and why?  (This doesn't necessarily have to be baby related.)

honestly he has been pretty good lately.  He keeps the kitchen clean and sometimes he does other chores without asking.  He takes out the trash and he will cook a couple times a week.  One thing he could do more often that would really help me out is give me more backrubs.  He is very good at it and it really helps to reduce my stress.

He does a lot, but it would be nice if he didn't take his work shirt and shoes off in the family room and leave them on the floor everyday.  The laundry room is less than 20 feet away.

Be a little more consistent with doing the dishes. He's a little hit or miss in this department.

Help me meal plan and grocery shop.

Keep track of our budget, reconcile it every month to see if we're on track.

Cleaning!!! And not half-ass do-it-to-be-done cleaning, but actual clean so I don't have to re-do it.

Not ask me every 5 minutes when we're eating next, what we're eating next, when we're going to the gym, what time our son is going to wake up from his nap, etc.  It drives me INSANE.

Put the dishes in the dishwasher!!  The dishwasher could be completely empty and he'd still stack a plate in the sink. 

That said, he's amazing.  He does most of the cooking, most of the laundry and has been helping out a ton since I am pg again.  So I can't really complain!

Closing cabines and drawers and just cleaning up dirt and clutter.  He ate a chocolate cupcake and got crumbs all over the floor and just left them there.  Or the mail trash, he opens the mail everyday and leaves the trash and envelopes all over the counter.  ARRRRHG

Some of these responses are making me realize that my H is pretty normal.  He always leaves his work clothes on dining room chairs.  He always leaves his soda cans or candy wrappers wherever, and he never turns off lights or closes cabinet doors.

When my DH is home he could help out by: cleaning the house, doing the dishes, and laundry. He works from home when he is not traveling, so him doing some of the things I listed would definately help. A nice cooked dinner every now and then wouldn't hurt anything also.

Cleaning up after himself more. It would really lower my stress and save me some time with cleaning. Specifically, dishes!

Def this.  He loves to cook but doesn't do the dishes or load the dishwasher.  He also leaves his coat laying where ever.  Drives me nuts!

All of the above!

He could clean something without me asking him to. He's really good about dishes, will help with laundry and isn't a total slob. But he would never mop the kitchen floor, dust or vacuum or scrub a bathroom unless I hand him the bucket, which is exactly what I do bc I get tired of doing it myself.

Cleaning, particularly vacuuming. We have two large dogs. The house needs to be vacuumed way more than the once he month he deems necessary. It gets annoying being the one to do it 2-3 times a week when he's the one who pushed for the dogs. (Not that I don't love them to death.)

He could quit being a slob.  That would help a lot.  He could pick up after himself after eating, getting undressed, doing basically anything that requires stuff.  I absolutely hate how messy he is and how he blames me for our house being a disaster.

I would have to say be more  paitent and not anger so easily. He is very quick to snap at me and our daughter, it's driving me nuts and has been for quite a while.
