Do you pack for your husband when you go away?

[Cricket0619]

I had a client ask me this the other day. She said she packs for her husband.   My H packs for himself, I sometimes will tell him to bring a certain shirt or something, but otherwise he does it.   My mom packs for my dad.  I think it's funny that he has no idea what he is wearing until they get there.

[pantsparty]

Nope.

[birdistheword]

I totally pack for my H. It's not that he can't. He just waits until the last minute, which drives me crazy, so I end up doing it because it stresses me out.

[Booze Raccoon]

I did, before we had a child.  Now I'm like ... do it yourself shithead.

Usually when we go camping I'll pack his clothes because he spends time packing all of our hiking/climbing gear, but that's pretty much it.

[2boys2danes]

I do. He's never asked me to, and he's perfectly capable of doing it himself. I dont know why I do, but I do.

hmmmmmm................

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Yep. I am way too anal about pre-trip planning. It's a thing of mine.

[Deleted]

No. I like fucking him, so I do my best not to act like his mother.

[LeggsBenedict]

No.

He kinda packs for me while I sit on the bed trying to decide WHAT AM I FORGETTING, I KNOW I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING.

[ralphlauren]

Nope. I might help him with laundry before the trip but he is a big boy. I pack myself and let him worry about himself

[speckledfrog]

No

[tacocat]

I will often put it in the bag for him because we split our stuff between 2 bags (we have lost luggage too many times) but he chooses what he brings.


I do veto shoes at times because size 12s take up a lot of space and he doesn't need 5 pairs.

[pooh8402]

Yea. He waits until the last minute but he knows what he is wearing since I leave his shirts hung up per his request. We only fold and pack his shirts if we're flying and that's rare. We drive almost everywhere.

No, he does it on his own.

[lsea0323]

Kind of, but because I'm a control freak. I say kind of because I pack all the clothes, but he takes care of his own toiletries.

[TrickyBob]

I pack for him because I KNOW the minute he cannot find something, he will be all "why didn't you remind me?!" so I just pack to avoid this.

[daisyheadmaizie]

No. I'm too busy packing all of my shit and the kids' stuff.

[ElizabethBennet]

Nope. His hands work, he can pick out and fold his own clothes.

[textbookcase]

Yes. I pack for everyone.

[pantsparty]

I would feel weird picking out the clothes my H was going to wear on a trip. Like...you dress your kid, not your H. It would be disastrous if I packed for him because I'd probably overpack the way I do for myself. And his clothes are BIGGER!

[luckyval]

Yes, I pack while he gets the kid and the house together

[Jalapeñomel]

Sometimes.

I hate that he waits til the last minute.

[zelda25]

Only if he's super crunched for time and I have more time to do it than he does.

Fun story:  early in my parents' marriage, they went to a family reunion, which was several days at a campground.  When they got there, my dad discovered that he had no clothes or toiletries, because he assumed that my mother had packed for him.  Which she had not, because it never occurred to her that a grown man needed someone to pack for him.  LOL.

[azurely]

I pack everything but his clothes.

[tulip]

No.

[celeste]

Nope. I don't even know where I would start if I had to pack for him. He takes care of his own stuff, I take care of mine. I do have to put a time limit on his packing or else he ends up doing it at like midnight when I'm ready for bed.

[jacquie]

He gathers all of his stuff, but I am OCD about how everything is situated in the suitcase, so I take care of that step. I don't give a shit what he packs as long as he isn't dressed like a hobo, but all the things must fit neatly in the suitcase.

[imojoebunny]

Not usually, but I do for things that it is hard to pack for, like this weekend. He left on Monday morning, he is meeting me in another town tommorow. The weather has changed a lot, so I will throw some stuff in for him to cover the changes. I am not good at anticipating what he would want to wear.

[Deleted]

No. If I know he needs to bring anything specific I double check with him that he packed it before we walk out the door, but I don't get involved past that.

[verycontrary247]

I did, because he's lazy and would only pack like 2 shirts and deodorant for a 7 day trip- and then he would wear those 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants multiple times. Grossed me out.
