Rae, a mom of two, who is now self-employed, creating social media and caring for her family, often chronicles her life on TikTok — and one video in particular had people feeling a certain type of way.
In the clip with over 200,000 views, Rae is making a yummy-looking salad for her man's lunch. It looks like an elaborate meal, but all her hard work isn't for nothing — she charges him for it.
'I charge my partner £10 ($13.52) a day to make his lunch for work. If he's going to spend £10 on McDonald's, Gregg's or wherever it may be and put money in a stranger's pocket, why not put money in my pocket instead?' she said in the voiceover of the video.
'Pay the woman you love for your lunch. That way, everyone's happy. He's fed and happy — I'm paid and happy.'
She does have a valid point.
Rae went on to explain how sometimes she runs out of lunch ideas, and it can be tough to constantly be creative with what she's making for her husband.
But overall — she seems to enjoy the lunch deal she's worked out with her partner.
However, many of the commenters on the viral video didn't feel as chummy about it.
'But if you love your man, you wouldn't charge him £10.'
TikTok commenters were torn on how they felt about this.

'I just think the whole point of saving money at work is to eat from home, so to still be charged when you're eating from home doesn't make sense unless you're saving that 10 each time.'
'Backwards mentality.'
'Charging him?! He should kick you out.'
Thankfully, Rae also saw a lot of support on her video, as hundreds of others were all for the smart transaction.
'He's absolutely getting his money's worth.'
'Covers the cost and time it takes you.'
'Let's be real it really isn't that bad. His Mrs is going out of her way to make him stuff…'
'From today onwards, I'll be charging'.
This wife is receiving payment for being a caretaker for her spouse — and other women are putting on sundresses to cook for their families.
19-year-old Savanna Stone is a stay-at-home wife who shares her tradwife life in Florida on Instagram and TikTok.
She's using social media to encourage other women to embrace stepping into their femininity by being a mom and wife.
'I had this moment before I got married and, through a lot of conversations with my husband now to where I realized, you know what, I just want to be a traditional woman. I want to stay at home, be a stay-at-home wife. I want to stay home with my kids one day. I want to rebuild a nuclear family because the left and modern feminism has truly tried to destroy that,' Stone told Fox News Digital in an interview.
Whatever floats people's boats.
