To enjoy making my husband’s sandwiches?

[nispalovk]

I actually enjoy making DH’s packed lunch for work. I don’t know why really. Maybe it’s knowing that he’s going to enjoy his lunch. Or that he’s got something to remind him of me. It makes me feel good. Is it a maternal instinct?

Cool. Wanna make mine? I like chicken. Cheers.

Don't think it's maternal especially, it's just normal to enjoy doing something nice for someone you love, because you know it'll make them happy, I think?

No

I don't think it's necessarily any different from someone enjoying making dinner for their family because they like food and cooking. It depends what it is that you enjoy about it. Personally I wouldn't want to have a maternal instinct towards my husband!

I understand...I get a sense of satisfaction when I make food for my family.

It's just like cooking a nice meal for someone (as long as they will enjoy it and are appreciative). Food can be a way to show love so not just maternal, maybe nurturing though?

I hate making lunches. Only make it for me though.

I enjoy cooking for my husband, and he also enjoys cooking for me. It's nice to be nice?

Is your husband also your child? Because no, that isn’t maternal instinct.

Its nice to do something nice for someone every now and then.

A maternal instinct towards your husband? 🤮

🙋 Are there any tuna and sweetcorn ones going spare by any chance.

I thought the same 😂

I was going to say this. I don't think maternal instinct is the phrase you're looking for op.

I hate cooking full stop these days but I don’t think theres anything wrong with enjoying making a loved one a meal. I make DD heart sandwiches sometimes because it makes her happy.

It's probably a love language thing. Acts is service or whatever. If you enjoy doing it, I'm not sure why it matters?

I’ll take a beef, rocket and horseradish one, please. Decent bread. Ta.

And you are posting this because....?

I must not be maternal then as I absolutely hate making my kids packed lunches

You do you hun

Not maternal, just a way to show love through a practical or nurturing means. See 'acts of service' if you're into love languages.

Nothing motherly about Etta James singing 'all I wanna do is bake your bread... just to make sure you're well fed'.

I hate making sandwiches for anyone. Myself included.

Um do you feel maternal to him?

The idea of a maternal instinct towards your spouse gives me major ick. It also infantilises the other person so double ick.

You do you but I’m out thanks.

Does he get Bitty as well as his sarnies?
