I've been so lazy this weekend. It's a long weekend here and I've been lying in bed while DH plays with DS. They just came upstairs and DH said the plan is the park and then Walmart.

I started to drag my butt out of bed to get ready, and DH insisted I get back into bed. He said it's daddy/son time and that I need the morning to laze around, watch tv, and have some time to myself.

I don't know what I did to deserve this. But I will gladly take it!!!

H has been working a ton of overtime lately (60-80 hours a week) and hasn't turned down a single shift because he wants to make sure I'm not stressed over maternity leave income. Today is his first off day in a while, and he woke up, got the toddler ready for his first day of K-2 while I got ready for work, made us all breakfast and sent us off to school/work, and has already cleaned the kitchen and done all the yard work. I swear the man never rests. He's amazing.

My wonderful husband has taken all financial stress off my shoulders by giving his number to the billing people that were calling me daily! It is twice amazing since he is a OTR truck driver that isn't home for a week or two at a time.

@hullabalou I'm feeling similar here. In the b*#fest thread I wrote about how I hate that my H works shift work. But he is a trooper in doing it. He picked up an extra night shift Sat night to help with our income and then stayed up all day Sunday after his night shift to take care of DD so I could rest. I shouldn't complain about the shift work as he's a champ at it and still is so good to me and DD!

My husband works shift work too, it's an adjustment because his last job was Mon-Thur days only so I was used to having our weekends together. I don't think I could physically handle the back and forth between night shifts and day shifts, I don't know how they do it!

MH is working like crazy trying to build a company on top of his full time job so that we can afford to buy a house and a better place to raise the twins. He totally ran himself dry and is sick now because of it. It's so sweet how hard he's trying and we're really hoping his efforts pay off.

After driving all weekend for a wedding and visiting family, my husband told me to go lay down while he put out daughter to bed then vacuumed late last night... I would not want to have to do this without him. I am so grateful we found each other.

He slept on the couch last night while our very sick DS slept on a blow up mattress next to him. For the record it doesn't take long for a simple stomach bug to get serious. We were hours from rushing to the ER.

I finally got some energy back this weekend to do laundry and stuff around the house. But my nausea finally got the best of my cleaning out the bathroom and he gladly took over after I bathed the dogs. He did it without a fuss, changed the laundry over, helped with the dishes and made sure I was taken care of. He also fixed the door to my closet that wasn't staying latched shut and now it does! It's the little things that make you really appreciate your SO!

Since I flew home last weekend DH has spoiled the crap out of me. Between nausea and this dang headache that never goes away, I have spent the last week camped on the couch and taking extra naps and he has taken over with DS after work and whenever he is home, done the laundry and is single handedly deep cleaning our house because the ILs get here this Friday and my house being messy stresses me out. Lol. He also has been making all the dinner around here.

I became a SAHM at the beginning of the summer, and since then we've shifted from eating out a TON to me cooking most of our meals. I asked DH last night if he misses the restaurant food (I do) and he told me that a lot of times he prefers my cooking, so no.

He isn't one to shower me with praises or tell me how good every meal is as we're eating it, so this was really sweet.

My DH is has been VERY patient with me from my moodiness to my indecision of what to eat. He has been helping with cleaning our home, who am I kidding he has been cooking and cleaning dishes! He went grocery shopping after the dishes even though he didn't want to. We got home and he cut up veggies so I can be eating throughout the day and no excuses not to eat. He has been laying his head, rubbing, and talking to my belly.

DH has been so patient the last few days! We both have the week off to celebrate our wedding anniversary so he has been extra nice by letting me sleep in and gets the dogs fed before im
even up! (A job I usually do since he works much earlier than me) and even cleaned our kitchen and bathroom today while I took a nap! So lucky to have him!

Oh this thread is lovely ! Today my husband took my car and was out way longer than he planned. I couldn't face eating anything in the house and just wanted some toast, but couldn't go to store to get any. When he finally come home, I basically burst into tears! Haha. Poor guy prob had no idea what was going on, finally realized I hadn't eaten anything and promtly made me food did my work clothes laundry and went to the grocery store and picked out foods I would be willing to eat.

all while he let me veg on the couch cuz the exhaustion hit hard again today.

My husband, who has been waking me up a thousand times a night with his snoring, has purchased a neti pot in the hopes of alleviating the problem. He has volunteered to sleep on the couch tonight so I can get some rest.

pbtoast · August 2017

My SO has taken over so much parenting. I'm basically useless as of late. He gets up with our son and gives him breakfast while I sleep, then I'm home with him during the day doing the bare minimum, and he totally takes over when he gets home from work. And all weekend. I need to get it together, but I'm just soooo TIRED. I'm so excited for some energy 2nd tri.

bb3vj3n · August 2017

my H has made me breakfast in bed almost every single morning since I hit 6 weeks. On a few occasions where I had to be up and out of the house early ... he hasn't... but whose complaining? he is doing 100% of the cooking right now and I love him for it.

crossfitbabybump · August 2017

My DH held me last night while I cried from being slightly overwhelmed. Then he talked to the baby and told him/her how much he loves them and us and our little family. *cue tears*

My husband and I just bought a new house and moved and my energy and motivation to unpack are just not there. I have to admit that he is normally a pretty lazy person around the house but he has been awesome at getting all of these boxes unpacked and taking care of things around the house!
