Ok ladies, you can tell that I'm on a theme here... But I think it's ok this week! :)

What are some things your DH does that make him a good father?

Still awaiting your first child? What does he do that WILL make him a good father?

Single mom? What qualities do you look for in a guy to tell if he'd be a good father?

He is caring...instills good faith in them.  He is a good role model.  He has lots of love which he gives to them.  He would lay down his life for any of us.  He is a great protector of our family.  He works hard at work.  I could go on and on..

He is a very loving husband and affectionate father.  He models how to be a provider, a protector, and a partner to your spouse for our son.

my husband is amazingly awesome (lol) , He is a very hard worker, he loves unconditionally, he still takes great care of his daughter who really isnt his at all (SD) , he will do whatever he can to make sure we are taken care of, or any of our family members. He is one of the hardest workers i know,  has such a big heart!

My husband is incredibly patient, and he believes the best of everyone... It's so good for my son to see himself through Caleb's eyes, and to feel safe and trusted. My husband also has a lot of enthusiasm, so he makes most things fun... Even changing a tire together. :)

 He is the one who wanted me to breastfeed and to have our kids with a midwife. He is the one who changed midnight diapers and walked the floors with sick babies. He is the one who wanted them close at night and in our room just in case they were scared. He is the one our daughter wanted to do her hair and fix her skinned knees. He is the one who just gets our teenagers, he knows their music and whats in their heads.He is always available day or night for a talk. He is the one who is trekking 12 hours with 7 teenagers to a 7 day tent camping chrisitan music festival in a corn field.

He is our  prayer partner, our minister, our glue, our friend, our buddy and our best cheerleader.

After finally getting into a routine with our DD....my hubby figured out that if he got up with her on the weekends and let me sleep in, I was a happy Momma! lol...or sometimes just letting me have an hour in the bathtub! But right now DH is in Korea and it's 50/50 if DS sleeps through the night...so there is no more sleeping in! lol

I think my dh is a wonderful father. He was great with my kids who were teens when we married. We always had a houseful of kids because he was so much fun. But he was also the talk of their high school. When my dd started dating he'd invite the boy in for a little chat and end by saying," Do you see the condition my dd is in right now? Bring her home the same way!" If a boy seemed too old for her, he demanded to see their driver's licenses up front and he did send some away. Then he'd sit on the stoop waiting for them at the end of the date so he could visit with them again.

He's great with the boys, teaches them how to be little men while still being able to be silly as well as tender.

My hubby is a combination of what everyone has said. Kind, loving, loves to play with the kids, loves to cuddle them, is the one that gets up in the middle of the night with the kiddos, (mainly because I suffer from insomnia and usually have to take melatonin to help stay asleep at night which then causes me to not hear them as quickly) Also he makes sure I have break time a couple times a week. If I am sick he will take the day off so I can sleep and get better, I get to sleep in at least one day on the weekend. He tries to spend special time with each of the kids (there are 4) as much as possible he's just awesome. He also gives me massages whenever I ask for them LOL (I think I might be spoiled)

Oh boy, there are weeks when I LIVE for sleeping in on the weekends... So thankful my DH is able to let me do that.

When does your husband return from Korea? Is he in the military, or there for business?
