*LIKE*, this is fantastic,

My DF turned around and was asking me "how I was going to cope with more than one child, potentially 3 under 5", I was like "WTF, IM the one who DOESNT have a problem with the housework, I will cope just fine" he is the one who always goes on about it, he should be worried how its going to be once there are more kids. GRRRRRR Then he had the cheek to eat ALL my chocoate bar one piece (there was half a block)..... AFTER scoffing a whole block of his own!

The 4 or so times I've been out babies have been good for DH.. which is good but would also like him to see whats its like when they are not. They were both hungry at the same time once and he considered ringing his mum but worked out how to give them both a bottle somehow.

DS guzzles down a bottle in what seems like seconds compared to a BF, DD takes about the same time as a BF. Then DH rushes around house cleaning etc to make a point to me that it can be done....how annoying is that it was good to have a tidy house but I heard about how he can do it all for the next week...

Jules....has he done it for a whole day? That's what made the difference here. DH has looked after the girls by himself twice since they were born. He won't do it again, unless he doesn't have any choice.

OMG just wait until you have a toddler. My place is always trashed!!!!!!!!!!

When Kate was young I was OTT about keeping the place spotless. Now I don't even attempt because she just gets more toys out and untidies as fast as I can tidy.

God I feel lucky .
My DH never ever complains about the housework , even if the place is a tip when he gets home , and he will look after the kids for the entire day , sometimes both , in the weekend and make me relax and wont complain , or use it against me .

In fact IM the one who will often feel guilty for not doing enough and he tells me off for it , because im growing a baby , and before I was pregnant and Ty was a baby , he would tell me that it takes 18months for your body to go back to normal and would make sure I knew that if I felt bad , he would not be impressed because he is happy with things how they are .

Hehe think would be a different story if he had them for a whole day he has looked after them several times but only for a few hours as am still BF.

DH was really helpful over the weekend and did heaps of housework and he usually cooks dinner too. He does do stuff to help I guess its just that he thinks he is so awesome when he does it and I think he should just do it? Does that sound ungrateful?

mink8e would your DH just look after one for a bit not as good as him taking both obviously but one time DH took one twin round to his mums even that felt like a break as I only had to worry about one baby.

Kelly your DH sounds lovely
