I was married for 16 yrs and been divorced for 29. Mine was too lazy to walk and talk at the same time , if if if it was not something he was interested in and that was not much. He liked to read and sleep. I have never regreted getting rid of him for even a second. I sure am glad his only child(son) did NOT take after him. Brian will clean, cook, he can sew and use the embroidery machines, he programs computers and he has a full-time job in the Heating and Air Conditioning business. He had a heart attack on the 9th of this month at 42. It was a bad one and he is still very weak. Dr's saying he might not be able to go back to work fo 6 to 8 weeks. His boss is already rushing him to come back to work. When he left home at 37 and moved to the Atlanta area and took the H/A job he moved 200 miles away from home. He is still doing computer work for some of the same people he was doing it for back then, only then he was in the A/C business for himself and worked for me also at K.F.C.(20 yrs) and helped me run my craft shop also. Lazy he isn't!He did slow down some when he got married last Sept. but he married a ready-made family. His wife had 2 grown daughters and between them, they had 3 small children:4,2,& at the time a 6 week old . This is his first marriage. He loves children and he has been in total bliss since he met Gail. I guess the Lord has His way of getting your attention! We almost lost him the 9th. He will have to slow down now! I have always worked like that. I had to take up the slack when I was married and I had to earn a living after the divorce. All I asked for was 100% custody of my son and my X did not argue. My son was 11 and he did not like his dad very much! You are very lucky to have a good husband that will help you and spend time with you while you are doing what you enjoy doing. Sounds like the two of you make a great pair! You share each others hobbies and get to spend quality time together. You give him a thumbs up for me! It IS important to work and play together. I was married for 16 yrs to a man that I did not know. We were always civil, just not happy. He married a friend of mine 5 months after we divorced and he does not treat her like he treated me. He actually does things for her. I guess he learned something. No, they were not running around before the divorce. He was running around with someone else. I caught him! End of story. You sound like you will endure till the end and have fun doing it! I do love to hear a wonderful story like that! Linda in Ga
How special. Enjoy all these moments. Can we download him for a few hours. We'll even send him back with some designs and more sewing goodies. LOL
I'm thinking RENT by the HOUR???What else can he do???
Well, if he isn't for sale, can we borrow him on time shares, like a library book or condo? ha heee You are so very fortunate to have a supporting dad. Cheers to both of you!
You are so lucky!!! Congratulations and Flowers for him too *******************
Great to have a helping hand. We divide the work. According to DH he's for the rough work and I for the rest. And he does dishes.
He is a real treasure Pauline. You must be very careful to Him. He is unique. Gr Hilde
Thanks Hilde , I try hard to keep him happy. It has worked so far for 32 yrs :)
I am glad someone else has a hubby like mine. He has been very helpful with my sewing group. Ladies ask, he does.
Pauline, that is wonderful - that you DH is helping you make up some time - he looks like he knows what he is doing, too. Thanks for sharing.
Aren't you lucky!! Thats great that it goes both ways, the best way!!
That is wonderful when D/H helps Pauline.
I also got my husband to help me with a large order of 200 bags for a company. I had to embroider there logo on them and I made the padded bags.
He put the cord through each one of them , Knotted them and burn the edge.
