I think I misread this question. I answered what he does to make MY life easier.
he's very hands on with everything, and we work as a team for the betterment of our life and our sons life...he's just a great father and husband and partner.
but, that being said, he is so handsome that even when he just sits on the couch like a blob, he still makes me life better. a girl can always use some extra eye candy every day  
oh geez, i know your DH reads the boards - stop trying to get laid

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
We clean together at night.
We fold laundry together.
I manage the kids' schedules and things needed for the house- he manages the finances and the outdoor stuff.
He lets me sleep A LOT.
He is extremely hands on with the kids.
He cooks.
I work part-time- but he knows that the days I stay home are just as hard as the days I am in the office.
We are truly 50/50 and I am very grateful.
Related to another post- he is extremely supportive and understanding with the PPD I experienced.

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
My DH does it all. He is a SAHD during the day so he does the wash, dishes, makes beds, takes care of pool, garbage and takes care of the kids and their needs. He takes them everywhere, from dance class to playgrounds, library, open play, the gym, etc. Pretty much the only things he doesn't do is dust & vacuum (because he doesn't think of it) and really clean. He tidies, which is fine. He does not clean the bathrooms. I cannot complain!!!

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
My DH does a LOT.
Some even say everything, but that's bc my BIL is a cave man and does NOTHING.
But DH feeds the kids breakfast and dinner, picks them up from day care, does the laundry, runs the dishwasher, cleans and maintains the car, and cooks dinner for us too. He will straighten up without being asked and he'll clean certain things if he sees they're dirty (like he'll vaccuum if he sees DS just spilled cheerios everywhere).
I know I'm lucky (he reminds me often too).

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
When he's on nights and home during the day he helps out by throwing laundry in, vaccuming and straightening up. Its a huge help and i never ask him to do any of it...I think thats why he does it

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
Cooks when he is home for dinner, and
If I cook (which is RARE), he will clean up.
Gets up with boys in am and lets me sleep in a little.
Takes them to daycare in am to give me a break from doing that daily.

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
holds DS when he gets home from work, so I can have a break
He gets up in the night when he doesn't have to work (though I bf so there's not much he can do)
Still does the rest - helps with laundry, cooking, dishes, cleaning...
He changes poopy diapers too

A lot! We help eachother since we both work full time, I couldn't imagine it any other way.
Same here. He is a huge help and I honestly don't know how I would manage without him some days. He'll pretty much help me with anything I need help with when it comes to DD. Now that the weather is nice, I usually try to take DD out for a bit when I get home (I get home first) so he'll will sometimes get dinner started if I haven't done so yet or help straighten up, etc.

I like this post.
I often think about all of the things DH DOESN'T do, but I need to give him more credit for everything that he does for us.
ditto!
but, I'm a SAHM, DH ...
loads and unload dishwasher most nights
mops/vaccums when I ask
gets up with DS when I ask
offers to give DS a bath (but we usually both end up in there cause DS is doing something "you have to see")
My favorite thing that he does, is prepare DS milk sippy, while he gets his coffee, and my 2 men have their drinks together
I'm so not a morning person and this just perks me up

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
He is so helpful...he does the dishes after dinner, cleans her bottles, changes her diaper. The days I do the dishes he gets her ready for bed and gives her last bottle. He will put things away so the house looks somewhat descent., sometimes make his own lunch. If i ask for help he doesn't hesitate at all.

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
Anything....BUT...only if i ASK....i have to ask or tell him what to do. Other than that he'd live in front of the tv and the house would be horrible..
He will get up with our DD's but that's usually when i tell him that i can't and he has to. probalby 1x every 2 weeks.

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
watches DD all day 2-3 days a week on his days off while I work to save us on daycare costs
Makes bottles if he sees we are running low
Laundry
Vacumming
Takes care of the cat boxes
Will watch DD at night once every month or so, so I can go out after work and have some fun.

Same with me. He's great with DS. The one thing he hasn't done is give him a bath or just know where DS clothes are. That is because I've taken the bath and changing routine responsibility. It's me and DS time and I'm selfish to give it up.  He always asks me where are his clothes? But other than that, he does everything I ask him to do. Most cleaning I do because it just comes out better when I do it. But he does soooo much as it is, I don't want to burden him with more chores.

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
He does a lot more than I do. I'll feel too guilty if I list it all!! I have trouble relating when someone tells me that their husband does absolutely nothing or when I see that someone has it that way.

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
Since we live with my parents, THEY do a lot to make OUR lives easier. BUT every Sunday they go to church at 8AM and since DD sleeps upstairs on the same level as them, and we are in the basement, someone has to go upstairs and be on the same floor when they leave for church around 7:45. Since I am pg, DH has stepped up and done this

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
We are both teachers so we have pretty good schedules. I am so blessed to have a husband that is totally present in our lives. He does so much for our family every day, from the minute he wakes up until he goes to sleep he is thinking about his family. He does all the food shopping, 85-90% of the cooking, laundry, all of the yard work, and he helps take care of DS in all ways. We put DS to bed together every night and he feeds him breakfast in the morning while I am getting ready for work. He really is my partner and we help each other as much as possible.
If he sees I am getting frustrated with our son, he steps in so I can take a breather-and I do the same for him. We always say the day we both lose our patience with him at the same time this kid is screwed!

Re: What does your DH do to help make your life easier?
DH will do everything... I'm FTWM and a coach, so my time is really limited with the little guy. He'll take him and pick him up from day care. He feeds and bathes him when I'm not home. He'll make dinner on the nights I get home late (which is most nights), he does the laundry and puts the clothes away, and cleans the house (except for dusting and vacuuming - those are my jobs) and I get to sleep in on weekends I don't have practice. He's just all around VERY helpful... I can't complain. Don't get me wrong - he does have his faults... trust me, but he does make my life a whole lot easier.
