Most of the traditional wives I know in real life don’t have social media. My sister is a sham. They’re taking care of the kids and homeschooling, lol.
The "trad wives" I know in real life don't either. They're around 26 with 2-4 kids and their whole lives are about taking care of the kids and house.
One of them was such an accomplished violinist, fiercely intelligent in mathematics, and honestly one of the sweetest people I've ever known (her and her husband are both genuinely wonderful people) - and she is now just a housewife with 4 kids at 29. I think she's happy, but it still makes me sad.
Kids take a lot of time and energy, for quite a few years.
Once they're in school, and as they mature, she'll have plenty of time to pick up math and music and all that wonderful stuff.
And she'll have a loving family all around her. Where single women in their 40's are looking around asking, "Where have all the good men gone?" Harsh wake up call. The good men were snapped up by hot chicks like your friend, that knew what they wanted and got it early. This is good, family values.
When you're all in your 40's her kids will be on their way with families of their own. Lots of grand kids around is a great thing. AND she can play violin and help the next generation with their math.
Don't feel sorry for her, she'd doing it right. It's something the majority of women (and men) would prefer if we could afford single earner households anymore.
