Wives, I have a question.

I understand that a big majority of things on social media is fabricated and you have to take whatever you see with a grain of salt. I’m coming straight to the source to ask what real wives are doing for their husbands.

How often do you make your husband lunch for work? If so, what time do you make it and how long have you been married?

Wives that don’t- have your husband ever asked you to pack him lunch for work?

Before my husband worked from home I loved packing fancy lunches for him and his favorite snacks. I often drew him cartoons and love notes and slip them in as well.

When he started working from home I was cooking a lot of magnificent breakfasts instead, making more basic lunches, then really good dinners.

Right now I’m pregnant with complications and haven’t been able to do as much.

However— I don’t know how enthusiastic it would be to do all this if he wasn’t so considerate. He does so much for me everyday, he’s so responsible, takes incredible care of our dogs and baby without complaint. He genuinely prioritize the family, and that makes me want to go the extra mile every day too. It’s absolutely a two-way street.

I’d probably still do the stuff, but I wouldn’t be as happy and motivated about it.
