A dash of Warm Gooey Fuzzy Feelings

RenonUthZhakrin · November 2013

I don't mean this in any sort of rude way to other posters, but my god I hear a lot of depressing posts, especially about raging assholie ungrateful Husbands. I know for a fact a lot of DH's must be sweet to their baby momma's too, so I'm looking for a few more optimistic sweet stories.

Mine to start is my DH made sure to get out of bed early before me, so he could make me eggnog pancakes and apple slices- they came in the shape of hearts

ykristos · November 2013

He heard me on the phone with my mom saying I was craving Starbursts, so he slipped out like a ninja to the corner store to get me some. I'm also getting all the backrubs.

tjkdlhb · November 2013

He's cleaning the bathroom as I am typing.

skyrockets · November 2013

Mine chauffeurs me everywhere because I hate driving and does the litterbox without complaining too much. I like that.

Jillzy86 · November 2013

I am so happy You posted this. My DH ran to the grocery store after a 13 hr day at work, to get a long list of food cravings I had. He has been amazingly supportive and I thank him everyday.
( specially after reading some of the posts about how awful other DH's have been) I wanted to do something romantic for him. Any good ideas?

I can't say one negative thing about my husband. I'm sure he could rightfully say a few about me, but he has been amazing. So understanding and genuinely cares.

kalette · November 2013

Mine got up with DD so I was able to get ELEVEN hours of sleep. Ahhh...

cbrust · November 2013

Mine is cleaning the kitchen from the huge mess I made last night

love him!

spacepotatoes · November 2013

My husband has been amazing too. I feel so guilty for how little I've been doing around the house for the last five weeks but he's been nothing but understanding. He's currently vacuuming the upstairs of our house, after already dusting all over earlier today. I think I will keep him

fairytalewed · November 2013

My husband has picked up most of the household chores and cooked dinner 3 times this week! (Usually I cook, so great surprise)

whitehousem · November 2013

DH gets up every morning and takes the dog on his walk (I haven't done it in months). He also goes along with whatever food cravings I have had and picks me up whatever I am feeling like at the moment.

deanna1313 · November 2013

I am very thankful for him especially after hearing some stories about men who aren't excited or understanding. Our bathroom needed to be painted so badly and there was spackle all over the walls. He got right to it and sanded and painted it so it wouldn't bother me anymore. Such a sweetie!

lv2011 · November 2013

DH has been awesome! I didn't have to say a word, or give a look, or anything. He started doing the laundry, washing the dishes, making himself and DD dinner, cleaning the catbox, AND even took on a part-time job so we'd have a little extra income for this LO. And he hasn't complained. one. bit. Throw in the weekly foot rubs, and I'm practically swooning

I swear, he's the perfect man.

MissLadyTay · November 2013

MH made me a little space in front of the TV that he calls my "nest." It's got a little heater and my water bottle and some snacks and tons of pillows and blankets so I can get comfy when I'm not feeling well. So very sweet. When I'm exhausted and sick he says "go get in your nest."

sisterjanet · November 2013

Mine has been doing way more than his share of dishes, laundry, and cleaning. I haven't even been feeling poorly, just tired and forgetful, but he doesn't complain. It's not quite as nice as the first pregnancy, when he was convinced I shouldn't use any cleaning products or it would hurt the baby and he did it all, but still, he's doing way more than his share.

mrspopsicle · November 2013

Mine made dinner last night, breakfast this morning and just let me take a two hour nap. I'm a lucky lady!

ajsweeton · November 2013

My wonderful husband drove 3 hours with me today to get a petunia pickle bottom diaper bag even though he thinks they're outrageously expensive (we got it for 1/2 price off craigslist). It's beautiful!! He's been so good to me too. So thankful for my excellent husband.

TheBeeCharmer · November 2013

Mine's been working 80 hour weeks to make up for the loss of my income. I feel so bad, but he wants me to stay home and it's only temporary.

busterbeagle · November 2013

Mine went out last night and immediately came back home when I got scared because I heard a creepy noise. He also does almost all the laundry, cooking, and dishes, and not just since I've been pregnant.

busterbeagle · November 2013

Are we going to do one of these about MILs next? No? Lol.

dragossoul84 · November 2013

My DH is amazing. Right before bed I get super hungry but I'm not in the mood to get dressed go down stairs and find a snack the other day I looked over and there was snacks in my night stand for me and a bottle of water. DH isnt the guy who will write a heart felt card or tell me I look pretty but he is the guy who would go out for whatever I was craving no matter the time and he's the kind of involved Dad that after watching Monster University 3 times in a row with our toddler he comes up stairs and tells a story to my belly because he wants to play with our new baby too. Between school work our toddler and how ill I've been I'm just not getting dinner done he works all day commutes 2 hours one way and doesnt mind throwing a box of pasta on or making some sandwiches. Not to mention I have been on pelvic rest for the last two months and he has not complained once. He is not a saint but he is amazing and I feel really lucky to have him as a partner.

tbiscuit18 · November 2013

My DH does alot of the housework, including the laundry. Which is wonderful! But last week he went to Target and bought me colace and prune juice because I was so miserable constipated. If that's not true love, I'm not sure what is!

83edwards · November 2013

My DH has been more amazing than I ever could have imagined. He cooks, and cleans, and shops. He has done everything for me over the past few weeks.....for the first time since we have been together (5 years) he has even done dishes.....

I am going to owe him big by the time my sickness passes!

momo214 · November 2013

My husband is not a romantic, heart shaped pancakes kinda guy but he has been great letting me sleep all day and gets by without me making dinners nightly or cleaning. He's not running out to buy me candy or ice cream, but I also haven't asked for it. I know he's got my back 100% whatever I need and that's just fine with me.

Mimaloo · November 2013

All I crave is fruit. I've been tutoring like crazy to make some extra cash for Christmas and baby shopping so my days are long and my weekends have been jam packed. I came home exhausted last Sunday to DH kicking me out of the kitchen.

He had looked up a recipe, gone shopping, and was cooking dinner all by himself (DH normally cooks omelets, ramen noodles, cereal, and that's it). AND he bought a crap ton of fresh fruit and made an amazing fruit salad for desert

BabyGavinNov10th · November 2013

Mine works away from home and only gets to visit every other weekend..he knows how bummed and upset I get after he leaves and every now and then I get surprise flowers delivered to me..(:

lbaker420 · November 2013

Great post idea! So nice to hear you ladies are being well taken care of!!

hbird0723 · November 2013

Yesterday mine cleaned 2 bathrooms and went grocery shopping after tucking me in lol because I was tired from other cleaning and a long work week. He's even sick and still is worried about me more than himself. He's been so protective. Not that he wasn't before but even more so now. I have also overheard him talking to his mom about how helpless he feels because he just wants to take the nausea away and can't. I love that man

AllieSchur · November 2013

He took my 19 month old out for almost the entire day, they ran errands, went to the park, fed the ducks, and visited Nana and Papa, he called it Mommy needs some rest Saturday!! I don't think I've ever loved him more! I took a bath, read a book and had a 2 hour nap. Oh and he came home with Pizza!!

klkrieg · November 2013

My husband wakes up in the morning as I'm getting ready for work and gets our one year olds ready so I can take him to the baby sitter when he doesn't work until later in the day!

kit0429 · November 2013

Great post idea

My husband has been nothing short of a saint for the past three months. He makes me food when I'm too weak/nauseous to do it myself. He has been doing almost all the dishes and all the laundry. And all the cat duties. He goes to the store anytime I ask or orders take out when that's what I want. He wakes up in the middle of the night to massage my back, he rubs my feet all the time, for hours, and he doesn't ever complain about all the waking up I do to pee or whatever in the middle of the night. He leaves whatever party or event we are at if I am not feeling well or get tired. Even though sometimes he still manages to do something to make me a little crazy, I feel so grateful to have him in my life and I know he's going to be such a good daddy!!

I can 100% relate to this and now I feel bad because I was sitting here angry at my DH for something so stupid. This reminds me of EVERYTHING he has done the last 5 weeks I have felt really crappy. He's pretty much been a single parent to DD and puts up with me. That deserves a medal!

MommyDay2be · November 2013

Have an awesome guy here too. He cleans, let's me take naps, deals with DS when I'm tired/sick/aggravated. The only thing he doesn't do is cook because the guy could seriously burn boiled water but he's a pro at take out!

bumpuser9353653 · November 2013

This is a great idea. I Was just thinking of how DH still wants me to scratch his back all the time or how I still do most of the diaper changes, but he took DD out grocery shopping today so I could rest b/c I wasn't feeling well. And as I'm typing, he gets up from the couch, blows me a kiss, and asks me if I want anything from the kitchen. I say "just some water" and he brings me ice water with a spritz of lime for flavor b/c he remembered me saying plain, non-iced water makes me nauseous at the moment. So sweet!

shortnstumpy · November 2013

My hubby has been cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and popping to the shops for my cravings since the day I got my BFP

bduncan1112 · November 2013

I can't complain about my husband either... He does everything I ask him to do. Even if I want mcdonalds at 3 in the morning and he's been working all night. He will still go out and get it for me. He always says "what baby wants, baby gets". Such a sweet man

hanafan36 · November 2013

At first my husband would comment on how my body is changing, particularly marvelling over my hips getting wider (which he loves but I hate). So I told him "the only thing you can say about me from now on is that I look fabulous."

Now when I feel tired, sick, or ugly he'll rub my back and say "hey, have I told you you look fabulous today?" :-)

Helmink0804 · November 2013

Love this post!! My hubby is amazing! He's done all the dishes- the laundry- and takes care of the puppy. Tonight we went over to a friends house for his 30th bday and DH didn't care when I was ready to go bc I was tired- he said he was just waiting for the word. We stayed longer than I thought but it was nice being out, laughing, and having a good time! Almost wanted to back out last minute and didn't- glad we went!
DH also let me go lay down for a little while before going out so I could relax.

cnbean · November 2013

I'm so glad to see this. I always get a little sad seeing some of the real crappy stories out there. Its nice to see that there are lots of good guys out there too!

My hubby has been nothing but wonderful since we found out. He has gone out several times to get me what I was craving. He has been changing a majority of our son's dirty diapers. There were a few weeks where he did all the dishes for me even! He hates to do the dishes. And he is so supportive and understanding, even when I'm a hormonal mess.

munsterdani · November 2013

I am working overnights this weeks, so in order to ensure I got some much needed sleep DH took DS to his parents for the weekends so that I could sleep in an empty, quiet house. I slept for 8 hours yesterday!!!

Etta07 · November 2013

DH has been giving me back rubs tonight. I think he kind of feels bad now that we know there's a reason I'm in extra pain. He also always fills up my water bottles for bed, yes I need two and he complains sometimes but now it's mostly in fun. He doesn't mind too much if I haven't picked up every mess DS has made during the day. And he's really helped out in the kitchen, doing dishes and cooking meals if they involve raw meat (I cannot handle the smell right now). He definitely has frustrating moments but this was great for me to write out my appreciations!!
