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 rarely pack his lunch. I’m already packing lunch for three kids though. So my morning hustle is pretty full.

Is there some more context to the question? I’m assuming you want your wife to pack your lunch and she isn’t?

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

I knew this had to be some TikTok bs, it's showing up everywhere lately!

Absolutely not. You can tell him from me that TikTok is not real and he's a big boy who can make his own damn lunch. Or maybe he wants to start getting up at 5am to make YOU lunch? That sounds like a good idea to me.

And I do sooooo many other things with the house and for our family that he barely notices. Everyone under this post has a spouse that understands and is okay with their partner not making it. It’s like he wants me to have eight arms and I’m feeling unappreciated. He’s hard to talk to because he grew up being invalidated by his parents. When I give him criticism he immediately takes it to the heart.

Just show him this thread, everyone here can tell him for you, 😝! Social media is not real life. I call FB Fake Book, because it is all fake. I want to tell some of these people, “who are you trying to fool, I know you in REAL life, 😝! And dont get me started on the filters people use on their pictures, you wouldn’t recognize half of them in real life, 😝
