This is shit, even for the Daily Mail

I'm not going to link.

It's an article about 'letting your man pack for your holiday' where three men bravely battle against the odds Hmm to pack their wives' suitcases.

And OBVIOUSLY they pack jumpers, a hat off a scarecrow and trainers that are three sizes too big.

What the fuck, Daily Mail? You couldn't make this shit up. Oh, wait, they just did.

What would happen if you 'let' your partner pack for you? The only reason DH might fail is becuase he isn't a mindreader and may not know exactly what clothes I wanted, but I'd have a properly packed case with everything I need.

I don't know any men as infantilised as the ones they've made dug up for this article.

I actually think this is pretty inoccuous by the DM' standards. I see two or three far more offensive articles in there every time I read it.

My DP surprised me with a long weekend away once, i had no idea until we got there, he had packed my stuff and didnt forget anything, packed clothes he knew i would have chose myself etc

The daily mail is shit

Heck, if I let DH pack I'd end up with 4x as much of everything as I actually needed. He's thorough!

My DH would do really well, he would pack the right dresses, skirts, underwear, bikinis etc but would possibly struggle with make up as I've got tonnes and he wouldn't know where to start!

I have an extremely organised Husband though and half the time does a better job than me with that kind of stuff.

Why would you go in the DM or any other national newspaper to admit your DH is a dick?

Perhaps they should have asked the drug smuggling women what can happen when a man packs your suitcase
