Knowing that they <em>can</em> be doing more makes watching them not do it that much more frustrating. I think most marriages have to endure periodic "setting of expectations" talks. (It's way better than the "you never pull your weight!" fight!) Y’know, motivating husbands to step up can still be a challenge.

He lacks the motivation to see what needs to be done and actually step away from his computer to do it. I am sure my husband is capable.

Ya, you know I had a hard time adjusting to the fact that my husband is not as "domestic" as my own father is. My dad did all the cooking growing up and the grocery shopping and worked full time. He is really a wonderful couselor and funny friend as well. My husband is really wonderful and does so much to support me and take care of our family. He did all of Weston's baths for the first 4 months because I was too freaked out to do it. :) He also keeps our yard looking nice and takes care of all the grilling. I know those sound like cliche hubby things, but they actually make my life so much easier. Yay for Dads! Let's give them lots of love and kisses this weekend and remember how important they are all the time. Wow, lucky duck Summer.

We're on very equal footing when it comes to discipline and other issues. We've made it a point for him never to be the "wait till your father gets home" kind of dad which I think is important. He's willing to change diapers, clean up puke, comfort the kids and he cooks dinner every night. It's his hobby and I am SO thankful for it. My husband is a fabulous father who does plenty.
