Father/Husband of the year award...

goes to.... my neighbor guy across the street. I just witnessed him mowing the lawn with their 4 month old in a carrier on his back, the 2 year old following him pushing a toy mower and their 3 and 4 year old playing in the driveway.

Am I the only one that has a husband that can't do anything other than "watch" our child when he's home alone with him? Yet, when I'm home alone with him, I'm cleaning, washing dishes, cooking, doing laundry... and doing my side business. Gah!

  • He rocks!

    I have to aw my DH though... sometimes he impresses me a lot with the amount he can get done with 2 or 3 kids in tow. Sometimes it is more than I can get done with 2 or 3 kids in tow.

    Tied the knot: 6.19.04 Mommy to 3 awesome kids: Maren 3/06, Tommy 12/07 amd Kolbe 8/09
  • Thats so awesome.  But I must admit my dh always has the baby in the bouncer on the porch and my 3 year old chalking up the driveway while he mows and I am at work.  Super impressive.  Im usually the one who cant do more then just watch them when I am alone with um :)

  • My DH is the same way.  If he spends the day at home with her, the house is clean, dishes are put away, clothes are washed, etc.  When I'm home with her, I'm lucky to get anything done!  I don't know how he does it!  
  • My house is often spotless after kelly's been with the kids, but Owen's eyes are glazed from being on the computer all day and Amelie spends an inflated amount of time in her jumper.

  • Wow, that's impressive!  Although I admit I'm more focused on the fact that he has a 4 year old, 3 year old, 2 year old, and 4 month old.

    Nope, mine is the same way.  "I'm going to run up and shower before you leave for work."  What's this showering uninterrupted business?  I'm not familiar. Stick out tongue

  • Sounds like a great (and busy!) dad!

    Dh is pretty good if I give him suggestions of things to do while I am out. If I forget, well things just don't get done.

    I'm struggling with getting stuff done around the house and watching Sawyer.  My husband is a champ at being able to let Sawyer play by himself while working.
