Hope you trust him. If my husband started cleaning, the first things he would throw out into the trash would be my stuff, which he considers clutter and useless junk. However, sounds like you got a good one there honey.

How nice of your DH to help around the house. Mine does anything I ask him to help with as well as all of the outside work. I can't help out there because of health issues. Week before last he told me he was taking over the supper dishes because he wants me to be happy. I had been complaining about doing them after cooking. I really didn't mean for him to take over, I wanted a "dish fairy" to show up to do them or for them to just disappear. Not likely to happen. lol
Now I wash dishes as I cook dinner so there is not much left for him to do and I clean up and put away all leftovers. I do try not to ask too much because he is such a sweetheart and I don't want to take advantage. :)

Well we went horseback riding, his idea...he was a bit chicken but we had fun. We are going to sign up for horseback lessons. So far no requests..he does clean, always cooks but we do normally share the cleaning duties and I usually have to say can you clean the bathroom, I will take the kitchen if you do the livingroom etc..he has been totally spoiling me this weekend...Football season is here...I think that is what is up...he loves to watch it... I complained last week that I am bored and we haven't been doing anything together...I was getting tired of just quilting...did I say that...did not mean it...just wanted to do something together. I may regret that...I do like my quiet time.

I think it's because my MIL always did everything for him and I made my son learn how to do his own stuff.
