Topic: Best Dads Ever Posted: 01 May 2010 at 9:54am |
I just wanted to bost really I have 2 kids Zak 8 and Makayla 8months, Me and DF work full time DS attends school and DD attends daycare. DF is the best dad around in my books if i have work functions ie going to after work meetings etc DF will stay home and look after the kids, if DD or DS are ill and need to stay home DF will stay home and look after them while i go to work, if there is anything that requires me to be away from home work study sport social activities DF stays home to take care of the kids.
We have no family that live close by so no grandparents to call apon or nanas to ask to baby sit so DF has always offered.
I want to thank DF as its not normaly the way in this society that the dads are the ones to stay home for these things and i appriciate it so much and he has such a close relationship with both children and they adore him so much.
Has anyone else have a DAD they wish to honour!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah i'll honour my man , hes a great husband and dad , he always puts my needs first, and doesn't bat an eyelid if he comes home and the house is a mess, he never criticises me for not having it clean , instead when I start to apologise for it , he informs me that looking after a baby is tiring and that housework is the last thing he wants me worrying about .
He works his ass off so I can be a SAHM but still doesn't insist I go back to work , he maintains he wants me to raise our kids ,which suits me fine , and if I ever feel guilty for not working , he makes it clear he doesn't hold it against me and hes happy with this arrangement ..even if it means buying a house is a lot harder
He takes the kids in the weekend and insists that I rest and relax , I could quite easily (provided I have left enough ebm for a couple of feeds ) leave for the entire weekend and know they are both in capable hands .
And , hes romantic, loving and just a genuinely all round good guy , the kind of guy everyone likes when they meet him .
Mind you , im a good catch as well

Ditto to most of this to my DF too Kell!
He also has backed me 100% in my decision to not go back to work full-time even though we would be financially better off if I did.
He never ever makes me feel guilty for the fact we have only had "special cuddles" once since Lexie was born, because I am normally so tired and have lost my libido a little...
He is so great at caring for Lexie, they spend all day Saturdays together and he always seems to try his hardest to make sure the house is tidy for me aswell, whereas Im not so good at that.
He can make Lexie giggle and laugh and smile more than anyone else (including me, which sometimes makes me a little jealous
I could go on and on but I wont because someone might try to steal him

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Cute thread.
I have one of these husbands too. I'm very very lucky.
He has supported me totally, and understands how hard looking after a baby was for me. I'm back at work full time now and he comes in to work to help me on th weekends if I ask.
He lets me have a sleep in both weekend days, and is the most wonderful dad a daughter could ever help for.
I will be forever gratefull to his support.

same as the above, I appreciate how hard he works for us, always understands when the house looks like a bomb has hit and is happy for me to have me time - when he does not have rugby, I just think we make a great team and he really does balance me.
And he LOVES nothing more than hanging out with the kids - Lachie is out on the tractor with him as we speak.

My Dad is totally awesome..has always lent a helping hand to anyone he meets and never expects anything in return. He is the best father a girl could ask for!!
I'd also like to acknowledge DF, he works so incredibly hard to support our family and to allow me to be a SAHM over the years as well as pursuing my studies. He didn't have the best role model for being a father growing up but he does his best to be a father and our son absolutely adores him.

I honour my DH who is the SAHD while I work full time. He is doing a great job bringing up our little girl while also getting his own business from home up and running

my partner isnt my daughters biological daddy but he may as well be . Shes 9 1/2 months old and hes been around for the past 6months ( so more than half her life) and he is AMAZING with her , he helps me out so much , every night when im putting her down for bed he gives the house a tidy , the second he walks in the door after work he smothers Amelia ( and me ) in kisses , he gives her baths, feeds her, he does everything a daddy would do and treats her like his own and is even going to be looking after her in the evening when i have to go back to work this month ( i work till 8pm!) . the first few months were so difficult on my own with a wee baby and the second my partner came into my life i felt like a huge weight had been lifted off , he just makes life so much better , having the support of someone there when times are hard ( for example when Amelia screamed for 5hours+ every night with colic) just makes things alot more bearable . I love my wee girl more than life itself and always felt very guilty about the fact her "sperm donar" wasnt a good father and never around , i now dont have to worry about that as iv got my man and he treats me and Amelia like gold
