Japanese woman preps a month's worth of meals for husband before delivery, internet isn't happy
The nine-month-pregnant woman revealed on X that she had prepared the meals ahead of her due date. She did so because she would not be living with her husband following the birth and would be staying with her parents for postpartum recovery.
A Japanese guy is facing backlash on social media after his very pregnant wife cooked 30 days' worth of dinners for him. According to the South China Morning Post, the problem arose after the nine-month-pregnant woman revealed on X that she had prepared the meals ahead of her due date on May 21. She did so because she would not be living with her husband following the birth and would be staying with her parents for postpartum recovery.

The woman was afraid that her husband would not eat well while she was away, so she prepared one month's worth of dinners and stored them in the freezer for him.
The tale has sparked a broad conversation on social media, with the majority of people criticizing the spouse for his inability to perform basic household responsibilities such as cooking. Some even accused the woman of coddling her spouse and treating him like a child.

One user said, ''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 commented, ''How pitiful she is ¨C 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?''
Some have pointed out how subservient and dutiful wives contribute to a culture that breeds immature, domestically inept husbands.

However, not everyone regarded this as a negative, and they praised the woman for being a kind and caring wife.
A few also said how this was a much bigger issue as millions of men like the woman's husband were equally unlikely to cook for themselves, especially in Asian countries.
A person from China said, ''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.''
