I make Mark his packed lunch every evening. Nothing huge, just sandwiches, fruit, etc ... And I do it cause I always remember my mam preparing my dad's packed lunches. But I was sitting there buttering the bread this evening (he's watching TV) thinking ... why the Hell can't he make his lunches himself? I always made my own lunches when I went out to work. And I already do all the housework, laundry and meals ...
Does anyone else do this? ↓

| Ya I do it too... along with all the housework even though I'm pregnant and he should help me out.... but I dont work outside the house that much... so I figure if I have time I can do it... but if I worked full time then I would make him help.... and he makes me feel bad cause if I were to yell at him about not helping he would just do it like it was no big deal and makes me look like an idiot cause its really not a big deal anyways.... I got nothing better to do, haha ↑ |

briseis, I think as long as you don't feel taken advantage of and you want to do it, keep it going. The minute you feel like it is assumed you should, then get his butt in the kitchen and get him to fix his own lunch for the next day. I find with men, once you start in with the "mother" role (making lunches, cleaning up after them, doing the laundry etc etc) they will stretch the genorsity as far as they can push it.
I don't believe the wife should stay at home and cater to their man. I believe if you are sharing a life together, with a baby on the way or with children currently, you should cater to each other needs. It is all about balance! Yes, he goes to work everyday, but you work at home every day! I know right now, I am working full time, having a heck of a crazy pregnancy and I could still use help from my spouse, who works all day too. SO the days he isn't working and I am, I expect a little help around the house. But don't assume, you have to tell them what you would like to have done.
Who wants to spend their lives catering to someone? NOT I! I want to share my life experiences with someone, not begrudge them or resent them cuz I am sick of making their lunches cuz they expect me to! But I think it is very sweet you do that for your husband, I hope he appreciates it and everything else you do, the way you appreciate him working every day! ↑ |

I bought some of those reusable/ disposable plastic bowls that i don't care if they come home or not....because my husband has a problem w/ leaving his dishes at work....I usually just send leftovers, or we go out to lunch a couple times a week.
But once he didn't bring his lunch and called and asked if I could make him some and bring it up so I made some sandwitches and the usual lunchbox crap and packed it all nice and neat in my kids shrek lunch box.......and left it w/ the desk clerk for him, LMAO.........he was soooo embaressed, but he doesn't forget his lunch anymore and if he does he doesn't ask me to make him some and bring it up......not that I really mind, we just love playing w/ each other that way! ↑ |
