Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Happy Father's Day!-Brag thread for DHs & Partners

The father's day quote in the Daily Quote thread got me thinking we need a thread this weekend about great stuff our partners/DHs are doing to support our efforts to get a sufficient education for the kids, gt or otherwise and to help just keep the house from collapsing!

I'll start by saying lately Dh has been an even better dad than usual by:
- Going against his own inclination to avoid boy scouts and taken Ds8 to several meetings. Even enjoyed himself!
- Baking bread literally every day from sour dough starter so that Ds, who is very picky, will have some really good bread that he likes (can you say 'fiber'?)
- Gets up most nights to go to work all night to keep the house running, like a lot of dads.
- Very supportive of my looking around for testing to figure out more of what is up with ds8, spending real money on testing and following up with the psych's various recommendations.

Go DH!

-Is teaching DD13 computer programming, and is helping DS18 with his programming pursuits
-Loves helping the kids with school.

-Spent the morning doing "My First Science Kit" experiments with dd5 and dd3. The girls LOVE it, dh really enjoys it (and I really don't) so this works out perfectly.

-Willingly plays princess games on the wii (it's tough living in a house full of women).

-As I write this, is creating "fun" math problems for dd5. And she's begging him for more. I can hear the giggling from 2 rooms away.

Happy Father's Day, everyone!

And I forgot!
-Watches as many hours of "Jeopardy" as DD choses! I don't know how he does it!

"-Willingly plays princess games on the wii"

Wow! Good one
I can hardly do that!!

Neither can I.

That's why I have to give him his props!
