The Good Stuff (JFF)

Soo awesome! I thought of this same idea for a post last night, when my husband stepped in at Kiddo's bedtime so I could finish kitchen chores a little earlier than I usually would.

I would have to say that this is indicative of what I love and appreciate: he really notices what I need when it's important, and is gracious in offering it without a lot of fanfare and "I'm so awesome" or "You owe me". Sometimes, it's offering to pick up take out, and sometimes it's doing the dishes because he can see I'm up to my eyeballs in preschool work. He's such an amazing guy!

You're right! Too many bad posts, so few good ones. Then again we wouldn't be asking for help if everything were great, right? So, one of my husbands many good traits is his ability to make me laugh so freaking hard! The other day in Costco they were displaying player pianos (the ones that play by themselves) and he took it upon himself to put on his sunglasses and sit at it pretending he was playing it. In front of all those customers. He had his whole body moving to it! I nearly peed my pants I was laughing so hard. No one can make me laugh like that man. I told him that right there is the biggest reason I married him all those years ago! He may not be perfect but he's pretty dang awesome!

There are really too many things to list, but here's the latest biggie.

My husband was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago. Almost immediately, he asked if _I_ was okay. He has been the one reassuring me that he will be fine.

That, to me, is what true love is. Thinking about someone else in your darkest hour.

I am not supposed to do this (DH says it can be annoying to others when you "delight" about your spouse) but since you posted...

Hubby works six days per week most weeks, sometimes even seven. However when he is home (even in between work hours) he makes time to make the kids feel special. Yesterday, he left for work at 10 am...picked my eldest from school @ 330 and took her to Barnes & Noble...fed her ...dropped her home around 7p..went back to work ...came back home at 1130 pm left for work again at midnight back at 6am and STILL drove my dd to school.

At my request he would schedule a day off so I can have my girls' night with my friends

He is generous

For as long as he is home he will with bathtime and bedtime

He does not drink coffee YET he makes me coffee

Goes to daddy/daughter dances even when the girls always ignore him once they're there.

I never had to worry about the money being his (I've been a SAHM since 2007). In fact I have more say than he does.

He never took sides when I had a falling out with his mom.

Gave me free reign in naming my girls (My argument is that he already has the last name)

Does his own laundry

Does not expect the house to be clean

Does not expect food to be on the table

He is just a great guy overall. Not perfect but darn close enough! LOL

Honey the Good Stuff my guy's got I can't say on a public forum!!

:)

What a great post!
My husband goes to work so I can be a stay-at-home mom.
He manages our finances so well and always makes sure we have what we need.
He can fix anything and does it with out me having to ask.
He is a wonderful father, husband and lover.
And after 20+ years together he still tells me how much he desires me.
I am blessed to have him!

My husband does baths and puts our boys to bed at night. He works from home so he is available to watch our youngest when I go get my hair done or have a doctor or dentist appt. My husband is really neat and clean and never leaves his stuff lying around. He loves to vaccum, too!!

My husband can tell in a look when I've had a bad day. He'll take one look at me and suggest I go to a movie or go get a coffee or something alone out of the house. He leaves early in the morning to work out and gets home around the time the rest of us are getting up and he will bring me a Starbucks or a breakfast burrito. Some days he will call and say he's coming home to take me to lunch.

He went to a Harry Potter midnight premier with me and dressed up.

He truly is my best friend. He will call me to tell me the good parts about his day. He plays Kinect with the kids and even dances around to the Zumba game with DD. He likes going out with his friends, but recognizes I need the same and will move his schedule around to help accommodate my times away.

He does his own laundry.
He does bathtime and brushes DD's hair.
He tolerates my cat even though the cat hates everyone but me. (DH realizes I would choose the cat over him.)
He worked with me and our schedules so I could finish my degree.
He gave me the to choice to stay home.
He lets me drive the nice car and while his car is a POS.
He loves me with all my craziness-- and I have plenty!

He chooses me every single day.

For all my complaints, my Hubby is very good to me,
- works- Im a sahm
- will cook if I dont feel like it
- does all the laundry (I fold & put away)
- doesnt complain
-rocks and sways our DD to sleep every night
- feeds DD dinner everynight & breakfast too on weekends
- does bathtime 4-5x a week
-does all grocery shopping
-doesnt hold grudges
-always tries his best to be thoughful, make sure we all have what we need, dedicates all his spare time as "family time"
he's kind and generous...

I need to appreciate him more.

Sure there are days where I just wanna wrap my hands around his neck...lol, but I love him, and don't really have any huge complaints about him.
The little things I love are...
-He never leaves the house without giving me a kiss goodbye.
-On his days off he will gladly get up with the baby and let me sleep.
-He works hard which enables me to be a sahm.
-He loves to keep our relationship alive (no ruts for us!)
-Love that he likes to get out and do things.
-He doesn't cook a lot, but the dishes he can cook are YUMMY!
-He has a huge heart.
-He makes me feel the same way as I did when we first started dating.
There's many many more. He's such a hard worker (long hard days with a long commute), and I am super excited because he has 5 days off in a row, can't wait to spend some quality time with him (and our daughter feels the same way!). Thanks for the post. =)

My husband works very hard and very long so that i can stay home with our girls.

Hes a handsome devil

He is a good father and a great daddy.(hard to come by both ive noticed)

He always has nice things to say about me, even though i feel he gives me more credit than i deserve.

He is awesome in bed.

He can make the best vegetarian fajitas.

very good post

He can fix just about anything (which is good because sometimes I like to tear things apart to check out how they work and then I can't get them to work once I put them back together).

He takes care of bath time for the children.

He makes excellent pizza/bread dough.

He makes me laugh.

He supports me in pretty much whatever I want to do.

He lets me nap during the weekend without complaining.

He takes my dog out when it is really cold so I don't have to freeze.

He is a wonderful pickle jar opener.

Finally, he is *ahem* rather well endowed, lol.

I actually put up a post similar to this a lil while back. Asking what peoples favorite thing was about their spouse.

My hubby is a HUGE helper.
He puts our son to bed every night.
CLeans when he is home.
Gives me back rubs without having to ask.
He shows & tells me he loves me every day.
He makes me laugh.
He always knows how to cheer me up.
He loves me even with my faults.
Takes our son on a "big boy bye bye" so I can be alone with our 6month old daughter.

I probably could go on for a long time :)
We've been friends for years and I can not imagine my life without him.
If you would have told me years ago that he would be my hubby, I would have told you, you were nuts. lol
I never thought I'd find a man so great in so many ways.

My husband always has time for the family and gives me time for myself, he does the same amount of chores as everyone else in the house and does repairs, even though he is the only one who is on 24 hour call and works 60-70 hours a week!

He gets up with the kids to get them off to school when I'm tired.

He takes care of me and everything else if I'm sick or have a headache.

He makes sure I eat healthy even when I don't want to.

He listens to me talk about my boring hobbies (crocheting and scrapbooking).

He buys me flowers, and never forgets a birthday.

He'll drive if I don't want to.

He's a very hard worker.

He always tries his best to balance his long and awkward work hours with time at home.

He tries to pay attention to habits I don't like, and not do them so much.

He's all around wonderful, and I don't know what I would do without him!

I need to answer this. I am so glad you asked. I have got to remember why I married this man, because I do love him!

- he is a very hard worker at work
- he is loyal
- he loves his family
- he is so proud of his new baby boy!
- he tells me all the time that he thinks I am beautiful
- he is the best planner - he plans every trip start to finish - I just get in the car and enjoy!
- he drives every place we go together as a family
- he loves my cooking!
- he makes me laugh SO HARD - like no one else can
- he is great in bed - GREAT!
- he is wonderful with his money and researches months for the best deals to save our family money
- he tells me he has never met a better mom!
- he tells me when I am being ridiculous - when I need to hear it
- he always tells me the truth - even if I don't want to hear it
- he always smells good to me - even after a long day at work - in fact especially then! We call it his man musk. Lol

Again, what a wonderful post. Thank you!

I am going to print out my list and show hubby tonight!!!

he lets me sleep in while he gets up with the kids, then brings me a cup of coffee in bed...every single morning

he works hard, very hard, harder than anyone i know

he does everything, yard work, kitchen, all the laundry including the kids'...he takes out the trash and anything else he sees that needs to be done. i never have to ask him to do anything...it just gets done...

he is faithful and loyal and i trust him 100%

he is the best father to our kids that i could have asked for

he's everything i'm not, and loves me anyway...

and he's sitting right next to me and i just started crying and he asked why...i showed him this and he said "babes, there's no one like me"...and he's so right and i'm so blessed and i know it and thank god every day for him.

Recently my husband went out and got 3 different kinds of chicken soup (1 already prepared at a deli) when I had a really bad cold. Now the smell of chicken when you are a vegetarian can send you over the edge. But he still got it because he it would make me feel better.

my hubby works two jobs and hasnt had a day off in almost a month. and when he gets home he takes over taking care of our son (because he wants to spend time with him. he is a GREAT dad. I was just thinking about today when our son was a newborn and we were grocery shopping my hubby was holding him and he kept taking off to talk to people he hadn't seen forever to show off "his son"

Hi 2under2,

My husband will take our 5 year old (soon to be 6) to the park for me. Plus he helps around the house, like with doing the laundry and putting it away, doing the dishes, taking out the garbage and sweeping and mopping the floor! We have a 1 year old too and he'll help me by feeding him and playing with him as well. These are a few things that my hubby does for me and I love him more and more for it!:o)

I. K.

Last night my husband fell asleep on the couch, from exhaustion, poor guy he's been working so much and getting very little sleep. So last night he just conked out sitting on the couch with the computer in his lap.
I looked at him, and my goodness, I don't think I've ever loved him more than that moment. I could see this big man falling asleep like a small child, and he looked so precious to me. ;)
Of course I couldn't carry him like a small child and put him in bed, so I woke him up and helped him to bed and he just flopped down and out like a light. My heart was so full because I feel like I have the best man in the world.

My husband goes to work two hours later than I do, but he gets up when my alarm goes off, makes coffee and brings me a cup, then packs my lunch while I'm getting ready for work.
