Okay, for real though, my husband is the best.
Like The Baby has been a little under the weather lately. We took him in to make sure he didn’t have the flu or an ear infection or whatever but he just hasn’t been himself. So my husband said he’d go ahead and just take the day off and stay home with him (Baby goes to daycare). And of course, all day today he’s happy as can be, no fever, and seems to be feeling just fine! And instead of commenting/complaining about how he took off a day from work for nothing, the first thing Husband said after telling me how he’d been all day when I got from work was that he was glad he got the chance to stay home and spend time with just The Baby.
And idk, that just kinda made me fall in love with him all over again, because he really is the best Dad and I love seeing that. It’s especially awesome because that def isn’t the norm where we live (hello super conservative West Texas, one of the birthplaces of toxic masculinity). But yeah, he actually parents equally with me instead of being a grudging babysitter and he’s honestly actually way better with the kids than I am and he’s hands down The Toddler’s favorite human on earth - which is also why he doesn’t get to spend as much time with The Baby one on one.
Anyway, I just wanted to announce how much I love my husband because it hit me extra hard today 🥰
