Well it might not just be men but those that go out of the home to work while we stay at home looking after the kids.
I followed up on my thread jack and told my husband when he got home from work about how much I appreciated that he goes to work & slogs his heart out so that I can stay home & raise our kids. I told him that we usually bitch about how under appreciated we are but realised that we never gave them credit for keeping on bringing in that bacon. I think he was pleasantly surprised. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Yip the main breadwinner doesn't always get much credit but in our family I tend to make sure little things are done for DH to make life a wee bit nicer for him.
I make his lunch every morning, make dinner every night and try to make sure that when he gets home the house is semi tidy. As much as I don't like doing the same things every day he must totally hate having to get up and go to work everyday too! Im pretty lucky I get to stay home and raise the family and not miss out on the little things DD does like DH has to from being out of the home. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

This is so true. I definitely appreciate what he does, not only earning money to support us, but also being an awesome Dad, but I don't actually say it out loud as often as I should *makes mental note to tell DH tonight* ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

I found it fasinating when one of my friends who is a SAHM said that it is her DH's turn to look after their one year old in the weekends so that she can have a break. So he has to work at financially supporting the household five days a week and then come home and give her a break from parenting in the weekends? Madness.
I appreciate my DH on a daily basis for providing the lifestyle that we have. ------------- Lou http://www.babysfirstsite.com">
