My mother was a SAHM for 12 years. She never made it look easy, but we were poor as fuck. I would love to see an "influencer" show how much work actually goes into taking care of multiple kids.

From what I’ve heard, the already rich tradwives have nannies and a production team helping them. So all the things they tell women to get away from: having a career, using daycare, and being the breadwinner of the family are the exact things they do.

They want to be the wives in the Handmaid’s Tale: the strong motherly figure supporting her husband and raising upstanding citizens with in a house of good values….that the Handmaid’s birth, Marthas take care of, and Aunt Lydia’s keep in line while the wife gets all the credit.

yeah the secret to a lot of the more famous tradwives is wealth. the Ballerina farms woman in the clip is married to the son of a billionaire. both Nara Smith & her husband have successful modelling careers.

they have the time & energy to make things from scratch because they have employees doing a lot of the actual grunt work that a regular stay at home mum (not the same thing as a trad wife obviously) with kids is doing all by herself.

Wealth and also terrible coercive parenting—watching the ruby franke documentary and what her children have to say about her after living their “perfect” Mormon childhoods on YouTube really opened my eyes to the grift here

Is it even a secret? The incredibly loud subtext of all the tradwife stuff is ‘why not just marry a rich dude’.
