Who packs the suitcases?
June 25th, 2012
When our family travels, I am the suitcase-packer for me and the kids. As my kids are getting older, they help much more in their packing, but it is my job to be sure they are packed with the essentials.
My husband, on the other hand, is on his own for packing his suitcase and carry on.
Through the years I have learned that most of the wives I know pack their husband’s bags, as well as their own.
So I’m curious: Who packs the suitcases in your family? Do you pack for everyone? Just yourself? The kids and you? Please sound off and let me know in the comments.

My husband packs for himself, I’m not his mama!
I’m thrilled to say that Terry usually packs for both of us.
I pack for me and the kids and most of the time Scott packs for himself. He also packs the car for long car trips
We have separate suitcases. I pack my own. He packs his own. If I remember correctly our children packed their own… with a little guidance from me.
I pack 4 suitcases: one for me and one for each of the three kids. My husband packs his own suitcase. He is a regular business traveler so he has it down to a science.
I never have and never will pack my husband’s suitcase. I’ve received looks of astonishment from some of my female friends and relatives, but I don’t care. When I was raising my daughters, I packed for them until they were about middle school age. If they forgot to bring something essential, they had to suffer the consequences. The same goes for hubby. I’m not his mother–I’m his partner!
I pack 2 carry on bags, one for myself and one for my two boys(ages 6 &7). My husband packs for himself.
