- Australian mother has been criticised for sharing lunch she packs her husband
- It includes a sandwich, tomato, capsicum, cookies, banana and 3 apples
- Some said they don't pack their husband's lunch because they 'aren't his mum'
- But the woman wasn't bothered by the negative comments
- She just wanted to make sure her partner was eating nutritious foods on shift
A doting wife has been criticised for making her tradesman husband a nutritious lunch every day, with other women slamming her for 'acting like a mother'.
The Australian woman shared an image of the packed lunch she sends her partner to work with on social media, with the caption: 'Who else packs their husband an all Aldi morning tea and lunch?'
The lunchbox included a white bread sandwich with ham and cheese, a banana, three apples, cookies, a bagel, cut up tomato, capsicum sticks, slices of cheese and a packet of chips.
The comments pouring in on the post began innocently enough - with many saying they were jealous - but some pointed out the behaviour was 'mum-like'.

'I don't pack him lunch because I'm not his mum,' one woman wrote.
'If they're a grown man they should know how to eat right themselves,' said another.
A third added: 'Mine is 33 so he can pack his own damn lunch'.
The doting wife defended herself to say that her husband 'eats what he gets' which makes it easy to pack for him, and if she didn't he would only take a banana and 'return home grumpy and hungry'.
'It's got nothing to do with being his mum. It's just caring and making sure your partner is eating right. And for us personally it means not spending money on takeout every day for lunch,' she said.
However, many fellow wives praised her for the efforts.
