When DH is home, he does as much as me, or often more so I can have a break.
I rarely ask him to do things. He's involved and he knows what needs to be done.
He is even the one that gets up to DD2 at night. When she wakes he gets up and puts her in bed with us so I can feed her. Then whenever she wakes I BF her back to sleep but if she doesn't go to sleep he gets up and puts her back to sleep.
He would never ever complain if I had time to myself. Actually, he's always suggesting I do things, lol. The other day he took the girls grocery shopping and came back with flowers for me and a massage voucher and had told DD1 to say 'Mummy we appreciate everything you do for us so we got you a present to say thankyou', it was so sweet.
I don't consider myself 'lucky'. I think this is what a father should do. This is what he wants to do, he would be so disappointed with himself if he thought he wasn't doing his best. And I would not settle for any less.
