I quit my job & charge my man £10 a day to make his lunch…trolls say he must ‘kick me out' for my ‘backwards mentality'

Just a couple of months ago, Rae, a mum-of-two from the UK, was working in a care home, where she had been employed for five years.
But now, she is self-employed and is attempting to earn a living through social media.
In one of her recent clips, she filmed herself preparing her partner's lunch, as she said: 'I charge my partner £10 a day to make his lunch for work.'
Following this, she added: 'If he's gonna go and spend £10 at McDonald's, Greggs, wherever it may be, and put money in a stranger's pocket, why not put money in my pocket instead?'
Rae recognised that not everyone will agree, but she isn't bothered, as she continued: 'It does seem to be a bit of a controversial topic, but it makes sense to me.
'Let's be honest, nothing in life comes free anymore, not even a paper bag - so if you're happy to go and pay the woman in Greggs for your lunch, then pay the woman that you love for your lunch, that way everyone's happy.'
Not only this, but she also set the record straight and confirmed: 'He's fed and happy, and I'm paid and happy.'
For Rae's partner's most recent lunch, she made him a peri peri chicken salad, which she served alongside cheesy coleslaw and two boiled eggs.
She also gave her 'fuss pot' partner a cereal bar, a chocolate bar and two cans of Tango.
Later in the clip, Rae confirmed that her man 'approved' of his packed lunch.
I'm a 'bad mum' but people are reporting me to welfare for feeding my kids junk - they mostly get fed at school anyway
Not only was he impressed, but he even described the tasty meal as 'absolutely beautiful.'
Big divide
But Rae's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ raeroberts.x, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 229,800 views in just two days.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 7,444 likes, 65 comments and 474 saves.
Social media users were left totally divided by Rae's actions - while some thought it was a fabulous idea to make an extra income off of her partner, others thought it was 'cheeky' and 'backwards.'
Charging him?! He should kick you out
TikTok user
One user shared: 'Great idea.'
A second chimed in: 'Love this.'
Whilst someone else penned: 'From today onwards I'll be charging.'
But at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary, as one person said: 'But if you love your man, you wouldn't charge him £10.'
Another added: 'Backwards mentality.'
To this, Rae wrote back and claimed: 'Backwards mentality is men expecting everything done for them when they're grown.'
A third commented: 'Charging him?! He should kick you out.'
Eager to clap back and prove the hater wrong, the savvy mum responded: 'Kick me out of a house that's equally both of ours, yeahhhh.'
Meanwhile, another gasped: 'I think that's a bit cheeky, £10 a day, a joke.'

Lily Allen flaunted her jaw-dropping figure as she enjoyed a night out with pals including La Roux frontman Elly Jackson on Monday. The singer, 40, took to her Instagram Stories with snaps ahead of the opening of her new play Hedda which premieres at the Theatre Royal Bath later this week. Lily showcased her incredibly toned abs in a tiny stripped bralette which she wore with a black hoodie that slipped down her shoulders. The Smile hitmaker appeared in great spirits as she cosied up to her friends and giggled for the camera. The stunner later shared a snap of the play's poster outside the theatre which sees her in character as Hedda Gabbler, sobbing and holding a gun. Lily and Elly are longtime friends having both found fame in the music industry in the 00s, La Roux won a Grammy and produced hit singles In for the Kill and Bulletproof.

Directed by Matthew Dunster, she is the first to star in the new re-imagined show. The role is described as 'the hoop through which every actress with her eye on greatness must jump.' Ingrid Bergman, Peggy Ashcroft, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Cate Blanchett, Glenda Jackson and Rosamund Pike have all played Ibsen's manipulative, tragic heroine Hedda. It will be only her third stage role, following a well-received stint in 2:22 A Ghost Story — in which she was directed by Dunster — and a slightly less well-received performance in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman. She told DailyMail's Alison Boshoff last year: 'I am absolutely thrilled to be given the chance of playing Hedda Gabler. 'I adore working with Matthew Dunster and can't wait to explore this piece with him. 'I'm very excited to bring her to Bath next summer, in the intimacy of the Ustinov studio, it's going to be great.'

'The conversation turned to plays where we could explore those ideas. We thought of Hedda Gabler and the connections were obvious, exciting and devastating. 'I relish watching Lily challenge herself, she pushes me, and I really value our ongoing collaboration. 'We want to offer up a Hedda that is absolutely for now.' Lily snagged an Olivier Award nomination for 2:22 A Ghost Story. Before then she had a small role as actress Elizabeth Taylor in the 2020 film How To Build A Girl, which was produced by her mother, Alison Owen, and based on the book by Caitlin Moran. She was also in the comedy series Margate. Lily enrolled in drama school in New York in 2023 and remarked that it was the first time she had studied since leaving school aged 15. She added that live theatre was: 'utterly terrifying; I don't think I've ever been more scared than before the opening nights'.

Iconic 2000's alcopop makes its return to shop shelves after 20 years – and it's perfect for summer BBQs & festivals
AN iconic 2000's alcopop will make its return to shop shelves after 20 years. Reef, a fruity vodka drink loved by ravers, made it's come back last year, with bottles sold at B&M stores. 1 But this summer the nostalgic booze group is repackaging the product to give partygoers a whole new way to enjoy the drink. The 3.4% ABV drink will be sold in a resealable carton. The group said the new carton format was "designed with socialisation in mind". Matthew Bulcroft, marketing director at Global Brands, added: "The resealable carton gives consumers more flexibility, less waste, and a better drinking experience overall. "Whether you're partying hard or chilling out, Reef's here for it." Shoppers will be able to pick up the nostalgic tipple from this month. A 15-pack of cartons will set you back £27, working out at around 55p per drink. You can also order boxes of the boozer at A 10-pack of the original bottled booze is still available to shop at B&M for £8.50. Its return comes as Gen Z are looking to revive fashion and trends once popular in the 2000's. Why Guinness tastes better in Ireland Reef's lower alcohol percentage is also likely to appeal to the group, who are notorious for drinking less than older generations. Matthew added: 'Reef's return last year tapped perfectly into the nostalgia trend – and our new carton is the next exciting step. "It's about giving fans what they love, in a smarter, cooler way that fits modern life." Nostalgic drinks make a comeback And Reef is not the only nostalgic drink making a come back. Bacardi Breezers are back just in time for summer, and will be sold at £2 a bottle. Customers can enjoy two flavours, including Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon. Elsewhere, the legendary "Cream of Manchester", Boddingtons Cask Ale is hitting taps again. First brewed in 1778, the famous ale disappeared from handpumps in 2012 but is now set to return to pubs across the North West. Manchester's oldest brewer JW Lees is to brew the cask ale close to its original home under licence from Budweiser Brewing Group. Punters who have waited 13 years for a sip of the creamy ale will be able to order a pint of it in selected pubs across the North West from September, before it becomes more widely available. Double Diamond beer also made its return to pubs last year, and it was recently revealed that it has returned to the high street, with cans of the pale ale on sale in Tesco. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.
