It would be nice if I ...
- got up with my husband in the morning instead of staying in bed.
- made Matt breakfast every day (or even a few times a week).
- packed his lunch for him.
- had a nice hot dinner waiting for him when he got home (this isn't possible, but might be nice).
- always kept his laundry clean, folded, and ironed (I wash it, but sometimes he asks me after he's out of clean shirts).
- washed dishes EVERY day (without a dishwasher I don't always get to them every day).
- made the bed.

I always feel bad about not getting up with Jim in the mornings. It's the one thing he actually cares about, having breakfast with me, but I just so hate mornings! Generally, I see no reason short of a fire to drag myself from bed before Adelay wakes up.
I have been making an effort lately, since the morning sickness is gone, to do this for him. Most mornings, though, if Addy stays asleep, I eat breakfast with him, kiss him goodbye, and then go back to bed for an hour. This seems a reasonable compromise.
P.S. Didn't mean to make you feel guilty or as though you were husband bashing the other day. In fact, I thought of one to add to your list: It would be nice if it were not assumed that I am the parent responsible for packing up all of Adelay's bedding, clothes, diapers, toys, snacks, extra bottles, etc. for overnight trips, and if I were perhaps not the only parent who even KNOWS what ought to be packed.
DH - You didn't make me feel bad, but thanks. Matt doesn't care if I get up with him, and sometimes I think he likes the quiet in the mornings. That's why I don't make more effort. I always kiss him goodbye, then I usually get up shortly after that.
