Do you pack your DH/SO's lunch?

[sadlebred]

Just curious how many of us pack our DH/SO's lunches. I voted "no." DH always packs his own lunches and always has. He prefers to fix things the way he wants.

[grk2012]

Not "most of the time" but sometimes. He has work meetings a lot and the boss buys lunch, or they order in. If it was up to DH, he'd eat Jimmy John's five days a week. If I pack for him, he get a lot more variety.

[cactuscookies]

Yes, I pack most of the stuff he takes for lunch. Most of it is the same as what I bring, so it makes sense to pack it at the same time. Plus I do all the cooking, so I have a better handle on what leftovers we have available.

[blinkinglight1]

We almost always have leftovers so there is very little "packing" involved. Either he flops it into 2 containers or I do.

[statlerwaldorf]

I do when he brings a packed lunch. I usually pack it the night before while I am cleaning up the kitchen and DH is giving DD a bath.

[BNL2]

I never do this because I am a lazy mate. He would eat it if I were to do this and he would probably be very appreciative as well. I just don't want to do it. Hell, I barely want to pack my own lunch.

[emyinpink]

where's the no, I don't pack his lunch, and he doesn't pack his own . we both eat in our cafe at work.

[moonstone523]

No. DH packs his own lunch most days. On days he won't be in his office he will get subway out.

[texassmith]

Yes, for M-F when he goes to the office.

[Wines Not Whines]

DH won't pack his own lunch. I used to pack it for him, because it was cheaper and healthier than eating out. But now I don't have enough time to pack two lunches most days, so he's on his own. He won't eat leftovers, unfortunately.

[my4girls]

DH doesn't take lunches to work. He often makes/ packs mine for me though, I take 99% of the time

[labbie]

I voted 'most of the time.' I make both of our salads at the same time. If I'm going out that day, then I'll still make just his. He makes both of our breakfasts so I think it's a fair trade.

[cinco]

SS. Sometimes, but not most times. If he is in a hurry I'll help him pack. I also try and keep leftovers and cut up veggies in containers so he can grab and go.

[shorty20]

I picked SS.

I will pack him one occasionally, but 99% of the time he doesn't eat lunch, even if I pack one for him. He says he's too busy and that's just one more thing he has to do. Sigh.

[clseale]

Never, but I kind of suck in the realm of typical wifely duties. He also does his own laundry. I do most of the dinner cooking, but we basically split everything else 50/50.

[CallingAllAngels]

My H packs his own lunch. He also packs my lunch.

[gt7301b]

If you call picking up lean cuisines at the grocery store making his lunch

[juangela]

If I don't do it, he won't. I do my own, and put together a plate for DS, so it really isn't much more effort to throw some things into containers for DH, too.

[penelope]

When DH is working locally (construction) I pack his lunches. Obviously when he is out of town, he must do it on his own. I don't know how or why I started this, but its been 8 years now and I still take care of it for him.

My mother packed my father's lunch for years, until one day he told her that she "buttered the bread wrong". Yeah, that was the last time she ever made him a sandwich. That story has been relayed to DH, so no matter what I pack for him, his response is always that it is great (smart man!).

[rachelr]

I pack it for him. If I didn't he would end up eating crap from the hospital cafeteria every day. I prep lunches on Sunday and then throw both of our lunches together after dinner every night.

[runblondie26]

I wish DH would brown-bag it. It woud be so much healthier. He already has to carry 3 bags for work, and refuses to carry a 4th lunchbag.

[stingsharkruns]

SS: I used to pack it every day for him - but now he works out of town. I WISH i could pack it for him for a week at a time - but he never knows how long he'll be in any given hotel room, and he doesn't have room for a cooler in his truck, so buying things to take with him is difficult.

[SuziSaysDa]

No, he is at home so he just eats whatever - however he does pack my lunch every day.

[dragonfly08]

Heck, no. He packs his own lunch. Makes his own dinner most of the time, too. We're both a lot happier that way.

[bluelikejazz]

We pack lunches when we clean up dishes from dinner. Whoever is not doing dishes is packing lunches. So I guess "sometimes" is the correct answer.

[gumi]

yes.
i am a morning person. he is not a morning person.

so since i am up earlier, i pack his lunch.

plus, if i put fruit in his lunch, he will eat it. but he wont put it in his own lunch (and then snack on something from the vending machine instead) so its cheaper and healthier this way. i dont mind - he does a ton for me so it evens out.

[Brie]

Not really. I tend to package up any dinner leftovers, and he takes those a lot, so maybe that counts.

[huckleberry]

I pack it because he gets up super early and wants as much time to sleep as possible (so I pack it the night before).

Also, it helps cut down on how much we spend at fast food restaurants, etc.

[stinkerbell6879]

I do 99% of the time. I do the majority of the cooking and unless I do he eats fast food, so if I can take out some of the fast food days I try. The days where I have no time, or he works a swing shift then he tends to be on his own.

[mrshandy]

We usually make a healthy soup/casserole on Sunday and then divide it up into 8/9 portions for the week. Then we can just pull it out. It's cheap, healthy, and quick. Works great! The only pain is making it on the weekends. DH usually does this since he's a better cook.
