We are supposed to have the skids tonight, but DF had received tickets to a game (that is tonight) at work for him to use to take out a client. He found a client to take out, so I just figured I'd be home with the skids from around 7 to whenever he gets home. But last night he said, "BM's going to pick up the kids tomorrow night around 7."

I said, "For what?"
He said, "Just because."
I said, "Well, does she have something planned for them at 7?"
He said, "I asked her to, since I'm going to that game, so you can have some alone time and don't have to have the kids here by yourself."

I was a little flabbergasted and said, "But...but...why?"

DF said, "I know that I rely on you a lot. You get the kids ready every morning they're here and I saw the other morning when I was home that it's not easy. You do so much for me and the kids -- you deserve a break. I don't ever want you to start resenting me and feeling like I'm not putting in my part. Plus, we took the kids on Sunday night so BM owes me anyway."

Wow....just, wow! I have the best man ever Smile

Wow, that's great! Isn't it amazing how such a small gesture can mean so much? Now if ALL men would get that! lol Wink

Okay I see two things here - he finally realizes all that you do for his children and he does not want to have to be doing it himself - lol. Is it possible that he has ever been on our site and had an awakening - Enjoy your night!! - what do you plan to do?

Well...I don't think he's seen ST because I only go on it while I'm at work, and he doesn't know I post on here (just don't really feel he needs to know). So I'm thinking he came up with this on his own! Smile He did get to see first-hand what it takes to get the kids ready in the morning earlier this week, and I have been crankier lately (combination of pregnancy and body aches from a terrible mattress and tired), so I think he's just sort of realized it gradually.

I think I'll just take a bath and read. Or completely veg out and watch whatever I want to watch on the TV!

well that is great that he came up with this on his own - I really don't think men know how much we do for the household - and that would be in a marriage - they don't have a clue!

Enjoy the night
