As it’s the last Sunday before I take a week’s summer holiday from this ever-joyful community, I thought I’d leave you musing over an emotional load tier which you hadn’t perhaps yet identified.
Phewwww- literally and figuratively so much to unpack here! Grew up in a home where my mam packed everything and now as a thirty-odd think I’m not like her butttt I am! Partner will pack for himself, as, like Haden, is stylish and likes and knows his own combos - but will be put out if I forget the nexium/sunscreen/preferred towel.. Katherine this is brilliant! Xx
Brilliant piece and I absolutely do not pack my husbands suitcase, either, never have. As a millennial (barely scraping in that bracket) I may well defy the odds here but I will not take hold of anyone else’s wardrobe pickings and even my children have a list of what to pack for our holidays (they are teens) but the choice of colours and mixes of items is for them to decide (aside from the basics -- Obvs a toothbrush is essential). :-)
I used to, but can't believe that I did! I wanted him to look nice and thought that I was being helpful. He wore 1/32 of what I packed. Now I couldn't care less what he wears.

Guilty. It’s annoying AF but less stressful than arriving at our destination without the proper clothing (or socks or underwear).
