My H is pretty cool

[mollz007]

Hopefully this thread is not too eye-roll worthy. I dont usually post about howgreatmyHisandIlovehimsomuchOMGIamtheluckiestgirlintheworld because EVERYONE here thinks their H is great (I assume anyway.)

Anyway, my H works at a preschool and he brought home this nasty bug that he passed on to me. I am the worst right before I go to bed and right when I wake up. The rest of the day is ok- just an annoying runny nose.

My point is, H has been really great at taking care of me. Case in point- we had our cleaning service come today, and the apartment was a mess and I kinda felt bad about it, so I told H we needed to get up at 8 to do some precleaning. Anyway, the alarm goes off at 8, and I am not feeling too hot because I was up for most of the night hacking away and not being able to breathe out of my nose.

I keep saying that I need to get up to help him clean since he needed to shower for work-he needed to eave by 9. He insists that I stay in bed and he will do the cleaning before he takes a shower. It was music to my ears. I like him.

It's the little things.

very cool...did it get done

Yes he did a good job... more points for him. I still did some minor cleaning when I got up though...but he did most of it (not that there was THAT much to be done...but still... I felt bad that the cleaning people had to deal with our clutter)

Can I be nosy for a minute? You said in here and the 'what does your h do' thread that he works at a preschool. Is he a teacher? I just ask because my SO thinks preschoolers are the coolest and wants to work with that age group some day (occupational therapy). He was the first guy I met that wasn't scared to death of toddlers.

Also, yay for having an awesome h AND a cleaning service!

He is a teacher. He actually works at an early learning center through the YMCA. We both really love that age group. He is a floater so he works in all the classrooms (whichever one needs him at the time) but he likes the 4 year olds the best. He wants to move to teaching high school someday, which is something I dont think I could do.

Cool! Thank you for indulging what's none of my business. There's so few guys working with young kids, I worry about people side-eyeing him. There was a thread somewhere on GBCN a few months ago about not letting your kid have a male babysitter and it made me sad.

I work at a school, and we have a male kinder teacher and a male pre-k teacher. Both are totally awesome!!!

It makes me sad too! H and I have talked about that before. There is only one other male worker at his school. It is so heartwarming to see him around kids, it makes me excited about what a good dad he will be. Its a shame that more men wont go into education because of stereotypes, because male workers are very much needed to be role models for the little boys. I know I wouldnt have a problem with a male babysitter for my kids. It wouldnt be any different for me than having a female babysitter. Id love to find that thread somewhere, Id be curious about what people think.
