I know what he needs more than he does. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106265 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:18:56 +0000 autumnlove 1106265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He packs his own stuff but I pack everything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106263 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:16:52 +0000 mrs.lord 1106263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pack everything for both of us. Our rule is if we forgot something we can buy it when we get there. Makes packing a lot more stress free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106241 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:00:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1106241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I pack for DH, LO, and myself. When LO #2 comes, I will be packing for 4 people!</p> <p>When we go on trips, I do all the packing. However, he does a lot of the organizational stuff, packs the car (does all the heavy lifting), and other useful things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106212 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:41:27 +0000 DigAPony 1106212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pack everything for both of us. I always ask him if there are any clothes in particular he wants me to pack, but usually he doesn't care. I don't mind since I'm the one who thinks things through more (like, does he need to remember outfits for certain occasions or events), plus I'm the more efficient packer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106138 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:01:14 +0000 Anagram 1106138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We each pack our own.<br /> 1) i don't pick out his clothes<br /> 2) I'm more likely to forget something<br /> 3) the idea of it even rubs me the wrong way, for some reason. He's an adult man, and he already has a mother....and it is not me. But I also don't do his laundry or pack his lunch (he doesn't do mine, either) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106110 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:50:08 +0000 Dandelion 1106110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I pack for me and DS, and sometimes dogs (and soon to be LO), so he can do his little part and pack for himself. If he forgets something, oh well. We'll just have to buy a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106102 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:46:02 +0000 Caly 1106102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no! We both pack our own crap. We may discuss what we're bringing for certain events, etc, but we pack ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1106024 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:09:17 +0000 ShootingStar 1106024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. The one time I told him I had a pair of his flip flops, they weren't the ones he thought I meant and was upset to find them not in our bags. I tend to pack way in advance though and hound him to get it done, because he'll be doing it the morning that we leave. I still make fun of him for the time we went to my parents' for a few days and he forgot to pack pants, lol. We had to run out to the mall that night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so/page/2#post-1105911 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:39:03 +0000 looch 1105911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, I have been packing, because we're trying to get away from each one of us bringing our own suitcase.</p> <p>He sets aside what he wants to pack and I cut it in half, then pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105903 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:37:28 +0000 jhd 1105903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i pack basics like toiletries for both of us. i will sometimes pack his clothes if he tells me what he wants to bring. this may change once we have LOs! ;) but i am the type of person who has fun planning/preparing for trips so it doesn't feel like work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105672 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:19:01 +0000 Cole 1105672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually pack socks, boxers, bathing suits, undershirts if he will need them and pajamas. He is in charge of his clothes and toiletries. I could pack his clothes but he prefers to do it, it only takes me an extra 5 minutes to pack those basics and he really appreciates it!</p> <p>I don't think he could pack me a bag though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105650 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:08:08 +0000 regberadaisy 1105650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, he's an adult. He packs his own stuff. If we're leaving after work he gets all his stuff together the night before. But I pack joint items like toiletries.</p> <p>I don't get how you pack for him though? Do you pick his outfits out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105647 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:07:35 +0000 catomd00 1105647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, he packs for himself. He's a big boy. I don't think he'd even let me do it if I offered. Our typical routine if we're sharing a suitcase is I pack first, and he gets whatever space is left over after! ;)</p> <p>My mom always packs for my dad and I find it so odd! At least, lay your clothes out and then she can just put it in the suitcase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105640 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:05:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1105640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pack for him. I typically pack while he is at work. I start by texting him and ask if there is anything in particular that he want to wear while we're away. Then he'll pack his toiletries right before we leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105638 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:05:23 +0000 avivoca 1105638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He packs his own stuff. I can't handle the chaos and I don't want to be responsible if his medication doesn't get packed or if he forgets deodorant or other small things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105635 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:04:59 +0000 Amelieisme 1105635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. He's a grown man and can pack himself. He usually doesn't have anything he needs though and packs ridiculously. HE never has weather appropriate clothing on trips. He's an adult though. He can deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105633 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:04:08 +0000 MrsH 1105633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH packs himself but will sometimes ask for clothing advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105632 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:03:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1105632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I "help", I pack the clothes but he is in charge of his necessities! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105626 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:00:34 +0000 chopsuey 1105626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always pack the entire family in 1 carry on sized bag (if we're taking a 1-3 day trip). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105613 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:56:12 +0000 Littlebit 1105613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He makes me help him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105594 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:49:45 +0000 nana87 1105594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, we always pack our own things </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105589 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:47:45 +0000 boots 1105589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always pack for him.

I have a hard enough time packing for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105546 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:37:36 +0000 mrs. bird 1105546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mostly. he gathers his phone charger &amp; most of his toiletries, but i pack his clothes &amp; all the shared items- snacks, books, travel papers (tickets/passports/directions), etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105535 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:33:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1105535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pack separately and just recently DH started using the same suitcase. He leaves his items on the bed and I place in the suitcase. After one trip when he assumed I knew what to bring for toiletries he does that for himself too. I think I left out lotion...hotels provide it, but he wantes his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105529 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:32:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 1105529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: @Mrs. Jacks: this is us! Thank goodness DH is good at it. At max, I'll pull out some clothes. And I always pack my jewelry...but only once DH has talked me through putting together clothes. I don't know why I'm so bad at it, but I just am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105519 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:30:54 +0000 LovelyPlum 1105519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: lol, DH packs for me! I hate packing, and it stresses me out to no end. So he usually does most of it, and he's really really good at it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-of-town-do-you-pack-your-so#post-1105514 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:30:22 +0000 luckypenny 1105514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much. If I ask him to do it, it won't get done until the night before. So I usually pull everything, have him check it and pack it. He does his own toiletries. </p>
