NO!!!! How can I possibly hate him? He is such a wonderful husband who doesn’t smoke, doesn’t gamble and doesn’t womanize.
When I received this tag from Shannon’s Mummy about the 10 things I hate about my husband, I kept thinking and thinking and until now, I still can’t find anything that I hate about him. One day, I asked him: “What do you hate about me?” He looked at me and said: “Nothing. There is nothing I hate about you.” You know, I was hoping that he would say something to start the fire in me burning so that I would have something to hate him for but …
So, here I am writing this post with a blank mind, not knowing my direction.
Well, my hubby has lots of weaknesses but I guess over the years, I have gotten used to his ways and his habits. Marriage is all about compromising and accepting each other’s weaknesses, isn’t it?
No, I did not marry a tall, dark and handsome prince who can swirl and dance and utter romantic words in my ears. Instead, I am happily “stuck” with a man who is so practical that sometimes I wonder whether his head ruled or his heart ruled when he married me. Off course, I would not complain because I think my head rules too.
Being an Asian, he is definitely in the list of men who help around in the house. He is also a father who would spend time with his children, playing and educating them whenever he could spare some time. Although he sometimes scolds the children when the soft approach fails, he loves them dearly. He has this special power to turn the crying kids (after scolding) into laughing kids with his sense of humor and make the kids forgive and forget.
Come to think of it, it is pretty amazing that I married my first love and he married his first love too! It has been seven years, going to be eight and we have three lovely children. We talk about our marriage often and we appreciate our relationship very much.
So, does he have the qualities of a good husband (One of Tot's Mom's posts)? To me, he definitely qualifies as my husband but do I have the qualities of a good wife? That, I would have to hear from him.

I already did the pretty mommy tag the other day, but thank you for thinking of me. I have an award for you.
He sounds like a wonderful husband and a great father - you are very lucky!! Have a great weekend - Kellan
Aww...that is so sweet! I would say you are a good wife. Better than me. When I read "10 thing i hate about my husband"...my first thought was- ONLY 10!? ....
I am sure you're an amazing wife, and mother.. The way you described your husband shows all that! :-)
I don't think that I could ever do that tag. While there are things that aren't "favorable" about Michael, I don't hate one single one of them.
You are a great wife, I know you are!
I think you are a great wife & mummy... so got an award for you :-)
Hah, you are the first blogger, I think, to have skip this list of 10 things that you hate about your husband. Hate is perhaps too strong a word. Anyway, thanks for the mention of my post.
If ur hubby got to read this...sure he will love you more more more!
nicely done!
Trin,
Give me five!

I skip this tag too coz don't know what is bad about my man!
Mine is Mr Practical too. Haha. Happy Chinese New Year to you all.
You have such a lovely husband.
What a lovely couple! :) Many times I had read your blog, I'm sure you are a great wife and mother.
hating things about your husband is simply unthinkable. you see, the very essence of love is being able to look beyond and love even the weaknesses. just goes to show you and you husband share what is called "true love."
You are a lucky gal... I'm a crappy husband. Great Dad. Crappy Husband. I have no illusions about that. Something's gotta give, right?
Agnes,
Thank you for visiting my blog. Hope you enjoy reading.
Jacss,
Admirer? *Blush*

delittleones,
Thanks :)
Mommadiary,
Thanks for your kind words.
Wifespeak,
Hopefully it will last.
Busydad,
Hmm... why do you say you are a crappy husband? Things can work out, can't they? but one thing is for sure, I can see that you are a great father. Whatever you choose, just be happy.
Oh, how incredibly sweet. My husband is practical is well and an amazing father--I wouldn't have it any other way. Such a sweet post--I hope you let him read it!
I guess it isn't so bad to be "stuck" with a guy like him!
yeah! you are lucky! What a lovely post... ^_^
I don't think I can write about this topics, maybe my husband will kill me if he read it.. haha
btw, a food blog,ehmm.. not bad idea. I will think about that.
I like this entry, it make me think what I hate abt mdh, ....none..but of course we're not perfect ..eh..a lot..lot..of give n take...that's what a marriage is all abt.
I do hate my husband --he gets really close to all the women he works for and basically ignores me. I found he was looking at garbage online our whole relationship and know he cheated at least once.
I sit in a tiny apartment alone with two kids and now he is out playing around in the city because he had court today and is going to try to convince me it took five hours when other times it takes about 40 minutes.
I am the loneliest person and do not cheat so I will stay this way unless I find a way to leave take care of my kids alone and a way to keep them from him on weekends.
This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I enjoy seeing websites that understand the value of providing a prime resource for free. I truly loved reading your post. Thanks!
Having read this material, I have learned for myself a lot of the new. Thanks

I think many controversies have arisen over the centuries in relation to marriage – including issues relating to the suitability of partners of different denominations, faiths, tribes or races, the acceptable number and minimum age of wives, the rights of partners, especially wives, and wider family obligations.
