While many people are calling it a kind gesture shown by the woman, many are slamming the husband for being unable to do basic chores like cooking and making his pregnant wife cook for him. Some are also calling out the wife for coddling her husband and treating him like a kid.
A Japanese man is getting criticized all across the internet after his wife, who is in the late stages of her pregnancy, prepared a month's worth of food for him before going into labor. As per the South China Morning Post, the news came forward when the wife made a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) sharing how she cooked the meals in advance for her husband.
The woman was concerned that her husband wouldn't eat well as she wouldn't be with him after the delivery. She will be staying with her parents for the post-delivery recovery. To ensure he eats well, she prepared all the meals and stored them in the freezer for him to reheat and eat while she is away.
While many people are calling it a kind gesture shown by the woman, many are slamming the husband for being unable to do basic chores like cooking and making his pregnant wife cook for him. Some are also calling out the wife for coddling her husband and treating him like a kid.
One user wrote, "What kind of husband allows his heavily pregnant wife to prepare a month's worth of dinners? Does he usually do nothing at home? Isn't it just spoiling him?''
Another person commented, "How pitiful she is – she's been pregnant for nine months and has a vegetative husband.'' A third said, ''This Japanese woman is bizarre. She is pregnant and acting as her husband's maid. How did her husband eat before he married?"
The discussion evolved on social media, pointing out how millions of men in East Asian countries are incapable of preparing food and doing household chores without their wives. One person from China wrote, "Isn't it the same in all East Asian countries? When my mum came to stay with me abroad to help with the baby, she forgot to prepare meals for my dad. He survived on steamed buns and noodles for three months, even losing muscle mass.''
