Lunch prep can become…strangely controversial? Especially when dinner is already packed up.
So when her boyfriend wants one more step, she starts questioning the expectation.
He wants the container bagged too.
See why Redditors found that request excessive.
AITA for not putting my bfs lunch into a bag and then into his backpack for him?
I (33F) live with my bf (42M) in his really big (too big imo) really nice house.
He pays all of the bills besides my personal bills (phone, insurance, internet, car payment, food, gas, etc) which I pay for myself.
I work from home full time and take care of his 4 dogs while he’s at work. I do mostly all of the cooking and cleaning.
He does his own laundry, mows the lawn himself (most times) and on occasion will help with dishes or put meat on the grill for me.
He is being overly demanding.
When I make dinner, I make enough for leftovers so that he will have something to take to work for lunch.
I always put it into a container for him and then into the fridge for him to grab and put into a bag and then into his backpack the next morning.
According to him, I don’t “pack his lunch for him and I should be”. Am I being lazy and/or inconsiderate by not putting the leftovers in a bag for him and then into his backpack so that he can just grab it and go?
AITA?
On the one hand, tossing it into a bag before putting it in the refrigerator is no big deal. On the other hand, he is being very demanding.
Let’s see what the people in the comments on Reddit have to say about it.
This commenter makes a good point.
This commenter says to watch out for those red flags!
She is not his mother!
Is she a live-in maid?

She should not feel guilty for this.
She already cooks dinner, packs his leftovers into a container, cleans the house, and cares for his four dogs while working full-time.
Commenters overwhelmingly said a 42-year-old man could manage putting his own prepared lunch into a bag and backpack.
Apparently the missing ingredient was one final scoop of independence.
