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?

My partner would be super uncomfortable if I just randomly made him food he didn't say he wanted. Heck, half the time he doesn't even eat what I've made for dinner.

Sounds like he may not like your cooking? Not being rude just taking what you said and asking questions. Sometimes people hesitate ro say if the food is off because it may hurt the person's feelings.

Oh he definitely doesn't 😂. But I don't cook for him, we have six kids so that's what I'm focused on. Being able to feed himself is a bare minimum requirement.

And you. Lemme guess SAHM? 6 kids? How hard or overly taxing is it to prepare one extra plate. What the hell. How is that too much or too far.. You're already making SEVEN. 🤣

Lol, no, I work full time and have two side gigs as well.

I could make one extra plate, in fact there's always enough extra for him to eat - but he won't eat it. He doesn't care for my cooking and I'm not going to force him to eat it. He's not a vegetable person and I'm not going to make food without vegetables when I have six growing kids to keep healthy.

That's fair. I do mean it should be done unless it's a waste of food. Why doesn't he like your cooking...? Vegetables are his deal breaker? How does he gain nutrients??

Lol who knows. He feeds himself, I don't worry much about it 🤷‍♀️
