Does your Husband or the father of your child get involved in raising your child

Our children are 11 and soon to be 8. Their daddy is just as involved today, as he was the day they were born. I think more so now since my oldest is noticing boys a lot.

I've just given birth one month ago, and my husband shares the "joy" with me ever since. He stays up at night, changes nappy, sterilises the bottle and prepares the formula.

My husband is one of the best daddys around. He comes home and before he can get his work boots off, he hugs the girls and helps them feed the fish. They help him take his shoes off and empthy his lunch cooler. It's thier little routine. He loves to go up the park with them and help our oldest with her softball and will pitch to her for a while. He helps with homework and with bathtime and even bed time and bedtime stories. If he has to work late, he gets really sad that he didn't get to see his children before they went to bed and will go to work late the next day so he can spend time with his children before work. I am a very lucky woman and my children are very lucky as well.

My children have grown up now but when they were still little bundles of joy, my husband would always share in the pains and burdens of child rearing. He would also stay up late, change the diapers, sterilize the bottles, and of course, sing lullaby's to put them to sleep. It wasn't as tough as I expected because my husband shared the responsibility and he totally enjoyed bonding with the babies. At present, my husband and my two boys are like best friends. Their bond is so strong and I guess it's partly because he was able to nurture that father-son relationship properly.

My husband was here for all of our kids. And still is to this day and I know he will stick around. He is a really great daddy and the kids love him so much they would be lost without him.
