> [@LordVor](#): > > Last night, at 1 am, I brainstormed the best way to get a booger large enough to interfere with toddlerVor’s ability to breath comforatable while sleeping given the tools at hand, and had him back asleep by 1:30. Man, I thought for a minute there you were going to admit to cleaning the kiddle out using the old mouth to nose technique … makes me retch just to think about it. I’m a good dad & husband. Not \*that \* good. OP: Thanks for noticing. Mrs. Montoya is a good woman, but shows no appreciation for the guy who works his work day, cooks & cleans & maintains her car & home, and indulges her demands for private schooling of the tots (feckin’ $2,250/ month for 3 kids!). We’ve “saved” a ton of money by doing our many car repairs myself. Best of luck to your guy on fixing your ride…don’t tell him about shifting into PARK. I don’t care if he’s almost as good a man as me, he won’t appreciate swapping out trannies! ---

> [@P\_T\_](#): > > One more vote for Ivylass in being a good wife. I am blessed with a wife that actually notices things going wrong with a car myself. The ex wouldn’t know there was a problem til it was laying dead somewhere or on fire. Then I would get called to come fix it or put out the flames. Hey, I know how to tell when something’s wrong with my car, too, and I promptly tell my husband about it. And he fixes it. And I make his favorite dinner. Works out well. 🙂 ---

He’s currently lying under the car, changing out the fuel filter and fighting off the mosquitos. I told him he’s my hero, and about this thread. He said that made him feel good. 🙂 ---

Oh, and Ivylad says I still have brakes, I just have to really mash on them in that situation when the car stalls. ---

**Ivylass** , you’re obviously a good wife, and **Ivylad** is obviously a good husband, but I’m afraid that _mine_ is the best. He deals with car stuff, he deals with the icky stuff, and most of all, he takes care of me when I’m sick, which due to kidney stones, is _way_ too often. Not only does he bring me the bucket when I’m about to hurl, but he puts a little lemon Lysol in the bottom so it won’t smell so bad when my head’s in it. Oh, and he holds my hair (which is really long) back, too, when I’m puking. Let’s hear it for great husbands! Yay!! 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-official-i-have-the-best-husband-in-the-world/262264.md?page=1)
