I’m gonna put on something cute for him too. I told him there’s a special surprise waiting for him at home, so I know he’ll hurry home I like to do this too, but w/o the makeup. DH finds me more kissable w/o it!I’m usually at work or class anymore but when I used to be home during the day when DH got home, I would make sure the house was picked up, that my hair was done and I had at least a little touch of makeup on ( I know, very 1950s but it felt good too) and that dinner was at least started so he could smell it cooking when he came in. I like to make my home a very warm place so I would put the TV on quietly with the news or just music, light a nice smelling candle and fluff up the pillows on the couch (maybe with a fleecy blanket too) and if I remembered, I’d put his jeans and Tshirt out on the bed for him to change in too when he got home. Hand him a Mountain Dew and give him a big kiss to top it off, and he was one happy guy
of course you do!!!Do I get bonus points for doing something I hate?
The trick here is to become interested in football. Once I learned to like the game, I am the one who reminds him that games are on and we watch them together and root for our team…who by the way won the Superbowl this year. My other favorite team is Notre Dame, who unfortunaly crashed and burned this year.
4Blessings I have been married 17 years and have a child who now 12, but it didn’t matter what age she was my husband would very thrilled to make love as soon as he got home. Ofcourse with kids underfoot that isn’t often possible unless you can arrange them to be at Grandma’s. And “are you for real???” is a less then polite reponse to someone’s opinion. Maybe you should actually ask your husband how he’d feel about it.
I politely apologize for the “are you for real” question, when I posted it I was not trying to be ugly, I was actually laughing, so I am sorry for offending you… As far as my husband goes, we did discuss it this morning before he left for work because I found it quite interesting, and his answer was plainly that NO that was not the first thing he would want to do when he got home, he felt that would be very selfish of him knowing that I was home all day with the little ones and that I was still doing my job of mothering and probably needed time to unwind myself. For him, he would like to relax from his day and unwind a bit first and formost and then to spend time with us as a family and then with me after the kids have gone to bed. Might sound odd to you, but maybe it is just the difference between having one child at home and 4 children at home. I say go for whatever makes things work for your family.
Didn’t mean to jump on you, I see you are new here. It’s true everyone is different. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with how many kids a person has, more likely different preferences in different men. I have close friends with several children and the general opinion is (at least with their hubby’s) is this would be appreciated.
