10/21/17 Weekend Grif.Net - Spoiled Rotten
Robert Griffin
Teresa is spoiling me rotten. With my leg in a cast and limited mobility and elevated pain, she tells me to stay in my chair and asks me “What can I make you for lunch?” We’ve been married almost 48 years and she has always been there for me.
A Facebook friend posted about wanting ideas for making her hubby ‘more than just sandwiches’ for lunch every day at work. She was mocked and berated for the simple act of making lunch for her husband. You know we’ve reached the end of the dregs of “modern feminism” when it’s now a sin to make your husband a sandwich.
This was picked up by Fox News. They reported she was told she was nothing but a “slave” and a “1950s housewife.” She was “weird” for demeaning herself to make lunch for her husband.
Then it got really angry and hateful. Here are some of the other responses:
“Your husband is a grown up and you’re not his mother”
“My husband can make his own *** lunch.”
“I make my husband the same thing he makes me. Nothing!”
“Stuff that, hubby is a grown man. I already do his laundry and keep his children alive.”
“Our advice is to stop making his lunches.”
“My role is childcare during working hours and that’s it.”
“He’s lucky if I decide to make dinner some nights”.
“I was married for 20 years and my favorite packed lunch for my husband was called a ‘Get it Yourself’ with a side order of ‘I’m not your mother’.”
“I didn’t sign up for that at the altar.”
When I read Teresa these sorts of responses, my wife was amazed and saddened. Working together in a loving partnership is what a happy marriage is all about. I am so pleased to have a wife who is my companion, who vowed before God “in sickness and in health to love and to cherish” and the moral fabric to not cut-and-run when things got tough.
BTW, did I mention she made me home-made egg salad sandwiches for lunch? That took way more work than a couple slice of bologna and cheese or a pbj. But she really loves me. And I really love her.
