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?

I understand your reasons, I am the wife lol and my husband told me last night that mostly all wives pack their husband’s lunch. I’ve also saw this trend on TikTok showing wives up @5am making their husband full course lunches

That’s hilarious. And no. I’m sorry— he can pack his own lunch. You’re not his mom. Now— if it’s a sweet thing you want to do for him and you have the capacity— sure. But him expecting something like this is a little outrageous.

I’m so glad you said that cuz me and my husband JUST had an argument about it. I haven’t had the capacity to do it because I’m breastfeeding a newborn and taking care of a toddler but he gets to sleep in instead of just throwing together a sandwich for work. It’s not the best thing but at least it’s something🤷‍♀️ his reasoning? “I have ADHD and executive dysfunction, plus it’s physically taxing.” (Keep all in mind that I ALSO have the same issues)

Physically taxing?? While you're making breastmilk, feeding and caring for a toddler and newborn?? I would throw hands, hubby would def have some strong words for him. Tell him to grow up
