That goes beyond the beyonds, IMHO>

What I would give to have a husband who wouldn't sigh heavily every time I asked him to hold the baby so I could... go to the bathroom, cook dinner, run the bath water, etc.

I also work full-time. When I say I am dead tired, I mean fall-asleep-on-your-feet tired.

He works until 2PM, hangs out his mother's house until I get home and then shows up right about dinner time. Oh and did I mention that every weekend he has to have an EIGHT HOUR band practice for a band that has NEVER played a single money making gig?

I'd love to have a sex life like I used to, but I am just so exhausted!

I do all those things readily. In fact I relish it.

Maybe it's because I'm 45 with babies again and really really appreciate it....hell I appreciated it last time too 12 years ago.

And I'm no wuss....I'm an alpha male....I am the man of the house. My wife expects that. She'd be bored with a pliable wuss. She was married to s sensitive songwriter before me so she knows what she likes too.

But helping with the kids when I'm home is natural to me. When I finish this thread I'll go give the 6 month old his bottle and then to bed. My sleeping wife will be up at 6-6:30 for her duties. We have the same goals in this...completely converged.

And I work 6 days a week to make more money to provide as best a material life as I can for all of them.

Hell I love this....and our Biblical "situation" is "as good as it gets".

The key was that we both knew what we wanted and went to it and scarifice ourselves whenever we have to for the common good....our family, our relationship, and our responsibilities.

We live almost completely outside of ourselves...readily. It's like instinct.

My dad...a great father never changed a diaper...but my mom had maids..lol

Please tell your lazy, brain-dead husband that this husband of 18 years of marriage with 2 teenage children does all the dishes every night; empties the dishwasher; all of the yardwork; painting; sweeping daily and scrubbing the kitchen floor; all of the ironing; wash windows; polish brass; changing of bed linens weekly; and numerous other chores. I don't get much sex from my wife, but I will be damned if she is stuck with a disproportionate amount of housework. Fair is fair.
