S/O Husband's work hours

[Crissy]

Three cheers for all the hard-working husbands/dads who do what they do!

 

:cheers2:

[Imprimis]

Absolutely! I am so thankful that my dh is both supportive of my desire to homeschool and provides the financial means to do so.

Yep! And three cheers for the people employing them!

:iagree:

 

And even though we see my husband only sporadically, I too am thankful that he has a job these days (after a long time without).

 

Happy, grateful dance!

 

:hurray:

Definitely. My dh works hard, long hours at a job he does not enjoy for a boss who is very difficult. I thank God for the income and pray for a new job soon.

Lets add some cheers for the hardworking mothers as well... why only dads?

The thread to which I was referring (S/O = Spin Off) was specifically about the hours our husband work. Cheering them on for working long, hard hours does nothing to take away from the work women do.

 

I am feeling especially appreciative of the time my husband spends at his job in order to take care of his family so I started this particular thread. If my husband posted here, he would probably start a thread in appreciation of the work I and other mothers do to take care of our families.

I'm spoiled. I worked before ds was born and dh worked and did most of the housework, because my hours were longer. Dh is still great about the housework, works long hours doing hard physical labor (which gets harder as he is nearing 50), and does it so I can stay home and teach ds.

 

Thanks, Crissy, for the reminder to be grateful. It's been a hard summer, but things are falling into place now (no pun intended).

I'll take those kudos as the sole income earner of our household (after dh job loss 2 years ago) working about 50 hours per week.

 

Thanks :)

Me, too! And I appreciate the pressure he feels at times knowing the burden of providing for his family rests solely on his shoulders so that I can homeschool.

Hip hip hooray! My dh just left for Australia for a month. While I hate that he's gone, I am so thankful for the job, the paycheck and his dedication in providing for his family.
