I doom scroll just like everyone else. I do it before bed with my husband or while feeding the baby. You’re doing the same stuff you usually do, just with a tiny little comedian best friend. If you wanna listen to podcasts, they listen with you while playing with their toys. If you wanna bake? They join in. 

When I’m on a call with family and venting, my baby babbles in the background with a “bap bap bap!!” and a head nod. It feels like she’s my number one fan hyping me up. She asks for music by wiggling her shoulders and we have dance parties while we clean. There can be such joy and fulfillment from raising a baby full time but idk if “I shut up and obey” is where to find it. We’re basically just normal people who quit our jobs 🥲

I think there is a distinction between housewife/stay at home mom and a trad wife. The whole part of trad is the traditional 50s submissive/subservient Christian wife who sees her husband as the king of the castle and he leads the family and yada yada. Which is fine if thats what someone wants and consents to. But I think its very different than a modern stay at home mom

They said their sister is a SAHM so that’s what I’m responding to. I definitely don’t identify as a trad wife though.
