I remember in high school in the late 90s early 2000s having to write essays (more than one teacher did this) about what I wanted to do when I grow up and my plan how I’d get there etc. I remember deep down just basically wanting a husband, family, home etc WAS NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER and was NOT ACCEPTABLE to put in an essay. It was mentioned as one of the things we could not write about or we would be given a failed grade for the paper. It was terrible to act like I was excited about some career I didn’t actually care about for a grade. Definitely pushed women into thinking something was wrong with them for wanting anything else other than a career.

Everything in high school was "What do you want to be when you graduate?" I had to write a whole research paper on it.

It feels very much like the girls that just want to get married and have kids, which has been the natural course of life for thousands of years, are now mocked for that desire. It makes me sad.

I am pretty sure you are right men could care less about sex and children because they seem to matter to a lot of men. Also it is pretty obvious what women bring to the table love and companionship like anyone does in a relationship. Sure it could be filled by friendship but for a lot of people for better or worse friendship isn't enough and people see them as inferior compared to romantic relationships.

[@LadyWolf6692]

Gen-Xer here..... when my children were small, I was a stay-at-home mom and homemaker. Goodness gracious was I ever shamed for that, especially by my own mother. Being a trad wife (or homemaker as it was called at the time) was simply not encouraged at all. Truth be told, I felt guilty for being a "lazy mooch" and didn't work cause I couldn't afford daycare. I really wish I knew then what I know now. While home-ec was offered in junior high, I wasn't allowed to take it. I learned to cook and sew and clean by trial and error, mostly error. I'm not sure if it's still offered or not. I believe the push towards a woman being a boss babe started with the boomer generation and the feminists from the 1960s and 70s and continued from there. I was the only one of my peers whose parents weren't divorced, although my dad did pass when I was a teenager I had it drilled into my head that I could never rely on a man cause he WILL leave you, either by divorce or death, and I'd better be able to support myself.

[@puerry]

I think it's wonderful that you were home caring for your children if that's what you wanted, despite what your family or peers might've said. One of the only criticisms of the tradwife lifestyle that isn't a complete strawman I've seen is "you need to have your own money in case your man leaves you," but that's such a toxic mentality, to go into a marriage planning for it to fail. People compare it to car insurance, how people don't plan to crash but it's "just in case," except... people aren't cars. It's fine to do with a car but with another human being, you have to be incredibly wise with who you chose instead of going in with the mentality that it could fail. That being said I think having your own money by having side hustles is incredibly beneficial in case a family or medical emergency were to ever happen. It's essentially doing the same thing as "having your own money if/when your marriage fails" in practice, but with a different focus and mentality behind it. Of course, people can change and things hypothetically can go south. Having a safety net or at the very least a support system who can help you is a smart idea and I don't oppose that, but you can still do that while being a traditional wife and mother and depend on a good man without living in fear. Being proactive but not to the point where you forgo interdependence, I just don't think that's necessary to go that far.

Ladywolf6692, I am also a Gen-Xer too. I have read your post, ma'am. i'm saddened (from reading) that you took heat from your mother.

[@ATAMOPodcast]

Balance back to the pocket book as well. For those looking for a more traditional family of the man as a provider and the woman managing the home, here are some thoughts if both the man and woman are working: - Kids involved = Money for child minding - Higher tax load on the household - Both parents commuting = time + fuel - Meal prep - Easier to get take out, which is going up a lot in price. If the woman can cover off the household duties and look after the kids, the man can focus on 'leveling up' in his job. There are tradeoffs. The best families that manage this, don't look at it as trade offs. These are roles to be filled. The man will keep leveling up and advancing his career + income while the woman works to make the household run more efficiently.

[@zui589]

I have a full time job, earning more than my partner. And I feel like this gives me some stability and feeling of freedom. I am not exhausted - working from home enables me to take care of our household together with my man. We work as a team and treat each other with respect. So yes it is possible to live in so some many ways and feel good. Important is to decide by yourself - what is best for you.

[@rp1ten]

Continue telling these facts, Estee! Great job!

[@89playstation65]

I think it's blowing up because people are searching for the truth. And the truth is God. And the truth is God's word. And God's word is the Bible. And in the Bible it says that marriage is one man and one woman. It describes that the man takes care of the wife, and the wife take of the husband and children and the home. How the husband does this by going to work Monday thru Friday and providing a paycheck for the family. Meanwhile the wife will take care of the home and children. BOTH are very important jobs. The wives are doing a huge part in raising the future generations of tomorrow. And all above ALL of this is God who is above the Husband. The order goes: God, Husband, Wife, then children. That never changes no matter what age you are. It doesn't automatically change when someone turns 18 becomes an adult and no longer has to listen to their parents. That is not how it works. It's a lifetime thing.

[@dstern86]

Our culture has stretched the definition of wife into something unrecognizable to it's original meaning. The work you're doing is having an incalculably positive impact on the next generation, Estee!

[@s92dx]

Just a reminder that YOUR interpretation of a wife is also simply a cultural definition. There's no "natural" definition of wife, simply what culture, upbringing, etc decide. So you are personally viewing the perfect wife as something from maybe a hundred years ago in the west. Meanwhile across the globe it looked different, a thousand years ago it looked different, biblical times it looked different. You guys are just as guilty of swinging too hard in one direction with trying to label your way as correct. There is no correct. Do what is right for you and yours. The feminists I know all applaud a woman choosing to homemake and raise children as much as becoming a doctor or programmer etc. And while society definitely tipped a bit too hard against the "traditional" (if you only look at the tiniest part of history as traditional) wife, it did so with the goal of providing previously unattainable goals for women. In your warped view of history, we've regressed, when really a woman can be a wife as easily as back then, but she can also leave an abusive husband due to having economic freedom, education. Or simply pursue other goals outside of marriage. It's a net win for women

[@MONGO77859]

One of the biggest reasons these videos are trending is because they’re either A) getting shredded by women who had terrible experiences, or B) young women are attracted to the curated videos that are largely unrealistic. Homemakers, stay at home mom’s, did not traditionally wear pretty dresses and makeup, and most definitely didn’t spend time showcasing their lives.

Well disciplined kids who are told "no" will probably not grow up to be criminals or blights on society. As a man, I have fully accepted my responsibility to work and take care of my family. Instant gratification is another huge problem. My wife and I had very little when we got married. We built a life together and now we have everything we could possibly want and our kids have turned out well. I have no complaints since I came from a childhood of total dysfunction at the hands of baby boomers (divorce/alcoholism/abuse), learning what not to do as a parent.

The problem is still this: The alpha husband does not want his wife plastered all over social media. There's nothing "traditional" about, in essence, a clothed onlyfans model being coveted by anonymous strangers.

Honestly I love being in my home cooking cleaning and taking care of my babies. I am in school to be a nurse. I do want to be a nurse, the reason I do is to help mommies and babies. Living in this feminine role in my home and in my career is honestly such a blessing I do love being a wife and mom and I love helping other babies and mommies too 💖

[@UTube354]

I applaud the desire to be a traditional wife. Roles of traditional wives have recently changed significantly. For families to survive women would work the farm alongside men when needed and still be responsible for maintaining the household. Obligations included weaving, mending and cleaning clothing, making dish ware and utensils, repairs to furniture, walls and roof. They also had to birth, raise, educate and indoctrinate the children. Women in the home were medics, healers and assisted others in labor. They maintained the small household plot and chickens. Most of their time was spent preparing and cooking daily meals. Much of this had to change during the Industrial Revolution when two incomes were often required for urban families to survive. Not so much with the survival post WW2, more about family comfort.

Asia has trad wives more than the west. But even trad wives get miserable in marriages and file divorces. While being a trad wife can make a woman very happy, being married to the wrong man can destroy that. And no one can accuse most wives or husbands for picking wrong because sometimes before marriage, they don't show the true colours. And there is a small percentage women are not built to be a wife or a parent just like there are some men who are not built to lead a family. So understand yourself. Don't be a part of political agendas blindly and follow dumb ideologies. Do what suits you. If being a trad wife is what makes you happy, go for it. If being a working woman is satisfying for you, do that.

[@shugdynamite]

Of course, because that's just life. It's full of ups and downs. And sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. THAT is not the issue. The issue is about values. Traditional values overall has proven to be better for society as a whole. That is not to say that everything traditional is perfect, no. But it is being proven to be the best system in which to raise children with better prospects and who will go out and create a better societies. Notice that even though divorce might happen in Asia, they still have less divorce overall. I think that's because they still embrace mostly traditional values because they see what a total dumpster fire the west is making of its own societies with all its "progressivism".

[@Itisagreatlife91]

@@shugdynamite I agree completely. I am a South Asian. Most women up to my mom's generations are trad wives. And then many career women are teachers. From 90's generation onwards women have gone to do many careers. Despite all, these core values are embedded in us as to create good families. Even working wives, when they get home, they try their best to accommodate to the family needs. The plus side is we live with our parents married or unmarried because looking after our older parents is a part of the culture. So you can see how raising children traditionally with generational values are highly integrated to that. Sometimes things don't work out in lives but these values are proven to be of a part of successful society. But understanding oneself is important. Not foolishly following the norm or the trend, understanding what I truly need and where I stand and what is needed to improve my life for the better are what help us to get to be better humans and better families.

All the men in the comments wanting a traditional wife. Before blaming women for not wanting to be one, look back at your childhood, to your Mum and Dad and to your friends parents. If your Mum was a traditional wife, how was she treated by your Dad? I grew up in the seventies and eighties when most mums were traditional wives. The verbal abuse, the demeaning and having to beg for money for groceries were the norm in my family and with my friends mums too. Women nowadays may want to be trad wives but after seeing what their Mums suffered in the hands of their Dads swore they would never do that to themselves. Men are to blame why women are scared to be trad wives these days. They saw first hand how their mums were treated.

This might shock you but I'm more liberal/libertarian and a lot of what you say makes sense to me. Some of it I'm not sure I agree with but I absolutely agree with the idea that we need to eat good food again and skirts and dresses/femininity is so much better for me (dresses are the most comfortable clothing in the world for me, and they look better). It's also kind of inspiring that you're also a short-haired feminine woman. A lot of people associate short hair on women with being unfeminine and unladylike, but we prove that's not true at all. I exclusively wear dresses and skirts (even in winter, and in New Hampshire, you gotta be creative to make it work) and I always try to look my best. Funny thing is I was a bit of a tomboy when I was little (standing on the playground swing while it was swinging) but I became more girly at age 9 or 10 (ironically, age 10 is when I started having short hair, just a few inches past my shoulders). And a lo of homemaking skills and traditional survival skills in my part of New Hampshire are still taught. Just wanted to share my thoughts. I personally love my job working at a local hotel/lodge at the front desk and my summer tour guide job but I support 100% everybody choosing what makes them happy, as I've said before, I'm definitely a New Hampshire girl and our state motto is "live free or die", and that's shaped my mindset growing up.

The corporate world we live in has changed our culture into making our job the center of our universe. Everything revolves around it and it takes precedence over everything. This is a recent phenomena, mostly built from post-modernist feminism and late-stage capitalism. This is what big business and the government wants. An ultra-competitive market where people will compete just to commit their whole life to their occupation; this increases their profits and tax margins. It all comes down to the unrealistic desire of endless economic growth.

Is this late-stage capitalism when we're not free to buy/sell anything without the government's consent?

One of the top values of feminism is autonomy. Women have the right to choose to be traditional housewives just as much as they have the right to choose to run for political office. It is anti-feminist to claim that a woman's choice to be a traditional housewife is anti-feminist. Just my two cents.

[@ShivMathur]

Trad wife has to come back. The modifications we did to the society by the capitalists has taken the society towards an eventual destruction. As the realisation will happen the reverse gear will be pulled to take the society back to where it was - a normal and happy existence. It’s really nice to see your views on traditional family. In fact I had written a book two years back titled “Social Pandemic” - A Terminally ill Modern Society. I would love to gift one copy to you, but I live in India 🇮🇳

[@JohannaWayne-es1el]

Sometimes it's really difficult dealing with how hateful people are. I'm going to keep wearing dresses and skirts. I feel like people are traumatized by fabric. Freedom of expression is not well tolerated by other if you're a woman. There's so much conformity. Group acceptance is not love. Might, like of a group, does not make right. Maybe I don't want to "go along to get along". If I compromise my beliefs when am I totally compromised? It seems there's no room for diversity of thought in this modern culture. People aren't even tolerant sometimes. The projection other have is so horrible. Don't give ladies please.

Concerning your #3: Those wives who are burnt out being both a provider and a homemaker - coming home everyday after work to do the housework (cooking, cleaning, etc.) - married the wrong man. I always thought that if both people in a marriage work at jobs, then both should work together doing the housework. I've been cooking, washing dishes (my dishwasher is broken), doing laundry, etc. by myself for years. So I've always thought that my wife and I (should I ever get married) would share the housework. Maybe I'm being naive. But when I shared my thoughts with some female college classmates (who were all older than me) after I heard them complain about how their husbands refused to help around the house. They were greatly surprised that a man would think the way that I do. (In fact, one of them even joked by saying, "Where were you 10 years ago when I was single?")

[@melodyclark1944]

You're correct. That's how it should work. It does take the right man. We would love to choose better but that would require men to be better.

And since you think that such men are better, by my comment and your reply, that must mean that I'm one of them. Yet I sit here alone. No girlfriend and no wife. Why? Because modern women don't want a better man. They want a pretty boy, a so-called "bad boy," with all other qualities besides looks not only secondary, but falling far below that secondary mark. According to every woman I've ever met, I don't have those looks. I won't repeat what they called me here. Suffice to say that they were incredibly cruel, and after a while I gave up on trying to find a woman who would look past my looks. I guess I'm looking for a "better woman."

@@GalyeArt You both are projecting your own erroneous thought processes on these women and totally ignoring their core message. Many tradwives, perhaps most, in times past and currently, had side hustles. They sold fresh produce or did dressmaking for the community. The more artistic types did paintings and what not. Point is, part time work for either variety or to ease the burden on the breadwinner was always a part of homemaking. Therefore, this is not a discussion about women working per se. It is more about VALUES. Traditional values vs modern. Tradwives champion the idea that traditional values are healthier for society and ultimately most women. You can agree or disagree, but don't attribute something to them that they never really said.
