It also says that she notices that I'm more than just there. For a funny aside-- she's out at her mother-in-laws until tomorrow and we talked briefly about the possibility of me going out tonight to get her. See, she had told me that the kids said that they were ready to come home. So, I replied that I would be willing to get her, but since they didn't say they missed daddy, they'd have to stay out there! Yes, Dad's like to be appreciated too!

As I've said before...I enjoy hearing the 'man's' side of it, MIN. My husband is not real talkative about these kind of issues and at times I feel like I'm 'shooting in the dark'.

Notice the little things (the good ones, that is!). In my opinion, it is the little things that can make or break a marriage...My hubby laughs at me when I thank him for cleaning the tub out after his bath...but that is such a sweet consideration that I refuse to take it for granted! I've heard many women say they've learned the hard way that correcting husbands for doing things the wrong way (diapering the baby backwards, or folding laundry towels "wrong", etc) is only going to ensure that they won't help again in that capacity, at least not in the near future! So can the negative and focus on the positive! Great post, MIn! :smile: Loved #1 at the end there :wink:
