When we were younger we talked about our future, what our kids would look like and how we’d Parent them. I always had this idea about what kind of Dad he’d be. I hear so SO much about guys who don’t do a whole lot and I sometimes feel a tad awkward in amongst those sorts of conversations, because Steve is actually really good. I feel sorry for the Steve’s of this world because they get tarred with ‘being lazy, shit at laundry and never tidying brush’. I know Steve isn’t the only guy to actually stand up and be counted. He’s actually been a better parent and husband than I thought he would be. When I was in an incredibly bad place after having the boys he did all the night feeds, he would get up and go to work and he’d still have time for the boys in the evening. He never made me feel guilty (but I felt it anyway) and he’d keep telling me “I just want you well again. I can’t lose you and I’ll just add it to ‘the list” ( its a list I choose to completely ignore he has). I have sometimes felt like if I disappeared, he could hold down the job of Mum and Dad so well on his own. You know how women say “I don’t need no man!” Well I truly believe Steve wouldn’t need a woman to manage his life. It would be harder, of course it would be and he would be so exhausted, but I know in my heart he could manage everything without me, and the boys would still feel loved. Don’t get me wrong, I make no plans to up and leave but I realise he’s one of the good guys. He does pull his weight, he expects nothing, if the house isn’t clean he will always say “no worries babe. Its not just your responsibility, it’s both our jobs”. I know he isn’t the only one! He is one of so so so many men who see life as an equal playing field with their partner and do so much but expect nothing back. To all you guys, thanks! Thank you from all us women who are lucky enough to have you. We won’t always show it, we might pick fights with you over children’s socks in the middle of the night  (totally made up about the socks. Can you tell!?!?) And we might not always have the time to give you a kiss but we do so appreciate the kind hearted, loving man you are. Big love to the dudes who expect absolutely nothing and give absolutely everything. To all the bad ass ladies that landed themselves those men, don’t ever take each other for granted.❤
