Hello... I am a working husband, and my wife stays at home and takes of our daughter. As I'm sure you know, she frankly has the much harder job of the two of us. Certainly the more draining one at any rate. :)

That said, I decided I want to make an active effort to do things to make her life easier, and show my appreciation of her hard work. I was hoping to get some suggestions toward this end, as I frankly do not have a good imagination toward these things... :)

What do you wish your husband would do to make your life easier, or make you happy? Thanks much!

Thats so sweet!! My answer is pretty simple. i love being home but it is hard work. I just wish he would see that it isnt about just sitting home all day. I just wish he would show a little more appriciation.

But also it would be nice if he would entertain our daughter a little since I have been doing it all day. Like offer to give her, her bath. Just get her out of my hair for a little while so i can cook dinner without stressing out. My husband also comes home and says dont worry about dinner I got it. And he fires up the BBQ and cooks us a fast easy meal that the whole block can smell. I enjoy it when he does that.

Mike- your wife is already blessed to have such a loving soul even present this question to this forum. It sounds kinda funny but even printing this and giving her a card to let her know what leaps and bound s you would take to show she is appreciated would truly touch her heart.

However some great things- time. Give her time to herself. Don't tell her she has to do anything. Or set up a lunch date with her girlfriends and come home to surprise her and watch the kids. Buy a bottle of champagne that they recieve at the table, and put a note saying how much you love her and will always encourage her individuality. Tell her she's beautiful everyday. Even when she hasn't taken a shower or put on deodorant. And to help your own relationship- get a babysitter and take her out on the town. Even if its taking a six pack and pizza and having a picnic at night where there is a beautiful view of the city. It doesn't have to be alot of money- but its the effort and time that truly mean so much!

She's already very lucky!

My husband does the dishes every night and makes sure his cloths make in in the hamper.Every day he call to see if I need anything.He asks if he can rub my abck or feet. If you pick any of these things to do I am sure she will love it. You could just ask her how you can help. Trust me she will tell you.
Best regards
From a very happy wife

I really wish that mine would cook a couple of times a week and do the washing up sometimes. I always have to think of things to cook and it drives me crazy. When I ask him what he wants for dinner he just shrugs and says "oh, anything"! It's so annoying!!!

He just dumps his dishes in the kitchen and leaves them for me to do even though I cooked the meal as well. I think that's really rude and I feel taken for granted!

Hi mike you are one of a kind and not many men like you are around these days,i wish that my other half would help out more!What you could do is offer to cook at weekends,bring her home a bunch of flowers from time to time and maybe tell her to put her feet up in the evening make her a cup of tea and give her a foot massage.
I am sure she would love that!

Wow! Do you have a twin??Show your wife what you have posted and I'm sure her heart will melt! I wish my husband would be more affectionate more often and pay our son more attention.I also wish my husband would not view his job as the only work he must do!(At home he won't even do yard work or take out trash all because he works!)
