s/o Does your DH pack for you?

[ECB]

I'm curious.  W/ all the reasons listed as to why some women pack for their DHs, I wonder if the reverse is true....

[TrudyCampbell]

Ha, never.

[Deleted]

Sometimes - but not very often. I'm too much of a control freak for that.

[sneetch]

No, but I mentioned in the other thread that he'll pack things that he knows I'll need and forget, like allergy meds or my cell phone charger. Then when we're somewhere and I'm like "Dammit, I forgot..." he gets it out of his bag. I think it's sweet.

[Cricket0619]

No way.

[jane6672]

No. Neither of us would be interested in that.

Sometimes H tries to get me to pack for him. I do not.

[luckyval]

No - mainly because I'm like George Costanza in my packing. I dress according to mood and have to pack accordingly

H has two looks to choose from in his wardrobe: formal and casual

[ering1115]

Some things, yes. We both are rowing referees and he will make sure my ref bag is ready while I pack his clothes. It is more teamwork to get out of the house on time than a taking care of one another thing. I let him handle the diaper bag and toys for DS too.

If its a big trip, I organize the packing and we arrange what should go in which bag together so technically he packs some of my stuff but not really.

[partiallysunny]

Nope.

[Deleted]

No because we are both grown ups. 

[rex]

I would love to see my husband try to pack for me.

[motzie]

No. Mostly because my clothes are usually all over the place so it would be impossible for him to find things. I'd have to say, in the clean laundry basket at the end of the bed, about 3/4 of the way down...

[Jalapeñomel]

No never.

[Deleted]

Hell naw! But he does all the laundry.

[Kit]

No way. He could never pack for me, he wouldn't know where to start!

[daisybuchannan]

I can't believe some of the shit that women do for their husbands, seriously. I married mine when he was 34. Homeboy knows how to do his own laundry, pack, clean up after himself, get his dry cleaning, the works. It's not like anyone else was doing it for him before we got married!

[daisybuchannan]

When our son was in the hospital for a few nights in Jan, I gave him a list of items to get for me (literally brand and size of clothing item I wanted). He took forever finding everything and did so well! Except for a random pair of hot pink pj pants that he packed....not exactly what I wanted to be showing off to the hospital staff, lol. He was very dedicated in finding everything though, it was so cute.

[wrathofkuus]

Some things that he's afraid will be a disaster if I forget, yeah. And he always makes me a must-pack list so that I remember everything and can cross things off as they go into my suitcase. Oh, and he also slips more stuff unto what I've already packed.

Now that I'm looking at that, maybe I should have just said "yes."

I am honestly surprised I do as much as I do in the packing process. I do almost nothing else for the man because he is a grown up and can figure it out.

[mbcdefg]

No

There's really nothing we "do" for each other. Not out of necessity, anyway ... he'll sometimes iron clothes for me because he's better at it, and he takes care of paying the bills because he's better at budgeting. I do the grocery shopping because he gets annoyed being in the supermarket, and I do most of the cooking because it's fun. But we're both perfectly capable of doing those things ourselves.

[Deleted]

He will help me pick out outfits but that is about the extent of it.

[Deleted]

Fuck no.

[Deleted]

No

[Deleted]

No.

[Muddled]

He packs for me for day trips. Like if we go hiking, he'll make the lunches and pack the water and the sunscreen and the bugspray and whatever. Anything that doesn't involve clothing.

[fuckyourcouch]

if he packed for me i would end up somewhere with one pair of underwear (maybe, MAYBE) and 2 shirts. maybe some shoes.

he fails packing.

Yeah, it would be funny to see my H pack for me.

My DH will do this too for day trips. Never ever clothes though. 

[Captain Serious]

I would have a fit if he tried to pack for me. Unless, that is, if he whisked me away for a surprise get-away, and brought a packed bag so I'd have clothes for the trip. That's the only scenario in which I don't think I'd feel the need to do it myself.

[Waffles]

No way, I'm too much of a control freak and I'd end up with the wrong underwear and nowhere near enough clothes.

He's good at reminding me stuff to take.
