Sounds Off! Local Moms sound off about why they love their Significant Others!

TANYA SAYS:

I love that my sons dad is such a hard worker, and even after a long exhausting day at work he still finds the time and energy to spend time with our son! I know as our son grows up I never have to worry about the man he looks up to, because his role model ( my sons father) is the man I hope my son becomes one day!

SAMANTHA SAYS:

We have foster kids and I love that even though these kids aren’t biologically his, you wouldn’t know that by the way he cares for them. He is a firefighter, and will come home from working 24 hours and will cook them breakfast, take the older one to school and stay home with the younger one.

AMANDA SAYS:

When I’m at the end of my day and the candle is almost out, he knows to step in and mix it up a bit. He is the Cobra Bubbles to my Stitch.

SARAH SAYS:

He is totally selfless and my partner in crime. Plays the good guy and the bad guy with our boys and is always there for them-sports, academics and good old “boys nights”.

KRISTIN SAYS:

My husband takes the time to explain everything to our girls. If they ask what he's doing on the car, he explains it to them. If they ask for more details about something in the night sky, he gets the telescope and shows them. If they ask how something works, he takes it apart if possible and shows them. It requires more time and patience then I often have to do that.

MONICA SAYS:

I love the father that my boyfriend is. We have one toddler together, he has two girls that are my bonus babies and I have three “babies” that he’s taken to be his own.

He works 6 days a week, twelve hour days. He then goes to teach a few nights a week at a local community college. He handles all of this with only love and care for our children.

He reads books to them at night, and helps them with their homework.

He loves selflessly to his kids, and never declines that extra moment with them even when he’s had a long day. And he’s surrounded by all females except for my son. Most of whom are teenagers that right there deserves a gold star.

He isn’t perfect. But he’s present. Involved. And dedicated.

ERIKKA SAYS:

I love that my husband is the calm in our crazy home. He is affectionate with them, and me. He is FUNNY - so funny!

And he wants them to experience all the things! He wants them to try any sport, have any hobby, and see every movie! He loves life and our whole family feeds off of that!

He works hard, long days. Sometimes 7 days / week but he still makes time to tell me how beautiful I am, snuggle the kids, change diapers, help with homework,

SHAY SAYS: My husband is always willing to play. I am good at crafts, board games,

and such, but I have never enjoyed getting on the ground to play. He has filed that need with our kids. By getting to their level, he has forged amazing relationships.

LOGAN SAYS:

He makes everything an adventure and his patience challenges me to really stop and enjoy our children at every stage.

SHAWNELL SAYS:

l Iove that my husband is a stay at home dad. I didnt have a connection like he does with my dads. And i love that even when im home he is so in sync with my kids, our life is so much easier for it.

AMY SAYS:

My fiancée is amazing to my 3 girls and his son. He is patient, he is loving, kind, hard working and coparents so well. When my youngest tries to play sides he is able to calm her without playing sides. He loves them as his own.

DANIELLE SAYS: My husband has always put his kids first! He was recently diagnosed with hashimotos and had insane thyroid levels (on the spectrum that leaves you exhausted). Despite that, he would work all day then come home and play with and wrestle the kids, make us all dinner, and put the kids to bed. I don’t know how he did it.

ROBYN SAYS:

I love that he is a kid himself with the kids! He plays whatever ridiculous game they have created and encourages them to just be themselves.

JENNIFER SAYS:

My husband is an amazing teacher to our girls. In every moment, he finds a way to show them how to do something or talk through a subject so they understand. For example, he taught our five year old how to do multiplication just by chatting over dinner one night, he taught her how to chop vegetables, and he’s done woodworking projects with them. He uses every chance he gets to show them the world.
