I mean, if we are on a roll of posting about really uninteresting things:

When I woke up this morning and went to brush my teeth, I realized DH had brought Aquafresh instead of Crest. I tried it and my teeth feel pretty clean and good.

Just had to comment on this. I was raised strict Southern Baptist (although an agnostic now). I was told repeatedly by my mother that "women are made to be slaves to their men". Seriously. That exact phrase. She meant it. Whenever I had a boyfriend come over, she always stressed to them that I would wait on them, get them food, etc. I love my mom, she's a super nice person, would never be mean to anyone. We also had a rule that if you didn't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. I can't remember anyone in my family ever even saying something mean to another. BUT, my mother is a doormat personality, and although I don't believe in any of the religious stuff I was taught, I absorbed it and am also a doormat personality. I was taught to always walk a few steps behind a man. I still do it to this day (I'm in my 40's). Drives my husband crazy, but it's a subconscious thing, I just automatically do it.

Must be nice. My DW hasn’t made me a lunch or dinner in years, and that includes holidays.

I usually make the dinners but stopped for lack of appreciation. I’d make stuff, pack her a lunch with what I made and it sat in the fridge and was never eaten or I’d take it since it was theee for three days.

I’d wish I’d get someone to do something sweet like that. But alas I just make food for myself as my DC won’t eat anything other than chicken nuggets.

Hell, I can’t even remember a time when I’ve had a birthday cake or even a cupcake.

In any case, good for you and I’m glad he appreciates it.

Op here, and he does care. It’s the kids that never actually cared.
I’m going to focus on doing more stuff like this for DH and a bit less for the kids. I like the idea of thinking of acts of service as his love language.

Haha...I’m sure that I am not.

Mine does, or he just goes on and on about it for no reason at all when he barely acknowledges the millions of other things I do.

In fact, he still talks about some sandwich I made for him 12 years ago. I dint know what his deal is about lunch. I think his mom maybe didn’t do this.

Sounds like his love language is acts of service.

My husband’s is too. And I’m not great at it, because to me it feels like I’m living in the 50s or something: make lunch, pick up his dry cleaning, yada yada.

My husband makes my lunch, as well as lunch for the kids. We both work outside the home, but this is one of the chores he's opted to tackle.

Puts a bunch of lettuce, taomatoes, lentils in a salad tupperware with two breaded chicken sliced breasts on top. Each night! we take it out in the AM and keep the dressing at work.

Nice diet as well. We do the 6 inch italians for dinner.

Wait, what?

I so hope that's exactly what I think it is!
