According to my H, he does more with his children than other men. I thought I'd put his theory to the test and also give everyone a chance to brag (or rant) about their DHs.

My DH tried that once with our daughter when she was little.

Doug does not do alot w/ the kids during the week since he works such grueling hours and gets home from work after 7pm.

I only have 1 child and he is only 3 months but I have to say that I am so lucky and blessed to be married to my husband. He is absolutly wonderful. He does most of the cooking, helps with the dishes (ok I have to nudge him a little here, but not much), laundry, cleaning, feeding (he takes the 1am and I take the 5am) changing playing with Declan and everything else you could think of. He is also working from home 3-5 days a month so that I can get out. I am not sure what I did to deserve him but I am really glad I did it!!!

That's really great, Kel. I know about that control freak thing and I have learned to not ask for help with those things that I am picky about, ie. the kids laundry, stocking the diapers, etc. My guy does my two year old's bath 2 or 3 times a week, plays with him when he gets home. I am pretty much completely in charge of my 8 month old (who was born at 28 weeks). He still gets up a lot at night and I haven't had more than 4 hours of continuous sleep since before he was born.

I'm finally going to get a sleep break though because the boys and I are headed to Grandma and Grandpas for a month! Woohoo!
