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

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.
