I know that he'll come home from lunch today and do the mid day mopping, because I have to work in an office today instead of at home.

It's raining here, and the new scared dogs keep going outside, where there are no people (just lots of wet mud) and with 15 dogs in the house temporarily (until some of the new ones go to their foster homes) it's a giant mess.
I think you are both saints for helping the doggies. I wish I could do something like that.

[quote raptureready] And trust me, it could be worse. Mine is so insecure that he lashes out all the time with negative comments. Even though I know he doesn't really mean them they still hurt. I've been working so hard on making his grandson and great grandaughters quilts for Christmas and the other day he said that everything I make looks like s_ _ _! I know he didn't mean it but it still cut to the bone.[quote]

Raptureready:
Your Dh is in serious need of therapy, he needs to get some self confidence so that he can be nicer. It worked for me, it was lots of hard work. My family tells me that I'm not the crabby,nasty witch I used to be. My therapist told me that my bad childhood(lots of abuse) caused me to act the way I did.

Isn't it wonderful to have a hubby that's a great "do-it-yourselfer"! Mine can literally fix anything! Electrical, mechanical, build anything.....
Which I thought was really fantastic!!

Then one day I heard my youngest GD,(she was 8 at the time) overheard her telling my MIL that she "felt sorry for Grandma because she never gets anything new!"

(lol...through the eyes of a child)

You remind me of my dear departed friend. She was a dog rescuer, and a sewer, also! Her hubby also made her sewing tables, cutting tables, bookshelves, etc! What a prince!!

I'll brag on my DH too, then have him read it...he'll grin from ear to ear,then ask why I talk to those strangers. LOL He's not into computers at all, couldn't turn one on,but he has the biggest heart.There's nothing he won't do or help with.He's retired & still finds ways to keep busy.he's our gardener,lawn upkeep guy,flower & tree planter.There's not much he can't fix & did just that today.
My sewing machine had a thread caught in the uptake arm. He took the head cover off, plucked it out & said all he wants is an ice cream sundae :-)
You'd never know when he"s been inside.He takes care of his own stuff & always does any dishes he finds....when I'm gone.Being retired, he looks for work.I've came home to find windows washed or floors cleaned...whatever.He's one of a kind & I'm so glad he's mine.

My DH is my enabler. He is so great! Supports my quilting "habit" (addiction;-) ). Encouraged me to get my first Bernina. When I said it would be easier to quilt if my machine was level with the table, he modified an old sewing machine cabinet, even installed a lift system so I can bring it up above cabinet top level when I embroider or use the free arm for sleeves, etc. Not too long ago he came home with 6 half yards of bright jewel toned fabrics cause he liked the colors and thought I needed some brights in my stash. AND he has taken a liking to vintage machines, so after lurking on the board soaking up all the pics and neat new tools I might need, he joined the board. Yep he is definitely a keeper!! Hurray for supportive hubbies!!!!!!...Oh, did I mention he cooks ??? :thumbup:

We do have some great hubbies! Mine is very supportive when I want to go and quilt. I can usually get a lot done when he is working on the weekends. He has even been patient when I have been in a quilt store roaming around, never says a word. :-)
