This can be fine and even better than what often happens with women working AND taking on household/family responsibilities disproportionately. BUT a big, obvious issue is when exactly does she get off work She starts BEFORE his work day and it doesn't really end. Esp if she's home schooling. The time outside his work day should be split. Beyond finances, he should be parenting his kids, even if it's a small fraction of what she's doing. It's also key to sustainability. Or a the minimum he should be paying for her to have regular time off. This situation is super advantageous for him. He's able to save on care and household stuff while widening his tax brackets. So there might even be an overall saving. Another huge issue that others pointed out is the very real reality of anything happening to their relationship or him. Going back into the workforce can be much harder. They are also fortunate enough to be able to make this choice. Even with thrifting, cooking, etc many can't afford it. Esp with 5 kids and food/housing prices these days.

Only in my personal opinion I think it's always best for the children to be able to have that luxury of having their mother at home with them so she can nurture and take care of them and the father being able to come home after midday and have an awesome time with the children as well I think this is awesome I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't understand why it could be so Taboo in the eyes of many with women staying home and being able to spend that quality time with their children I think again that it is awesome and I think that it is beneficial for the children's lives in their future to know that their mother preferred to stay home with them and nurture them than to go work somebody's 9 to 5 job that will benefit her of nothing once many years go by.
Amen to you all, blessings!

As someone who supports older women who have lived this life and suddenly either:
Husband dies and they are suddenly left having to manage their finances for the first time in decades.
Their CV is empty and they either divorce or separate from their partner and struggle to get any employment.
They remain stuck in a relationship that has become emotionally, financially or physically abusive. But they have been isolated, so feel they have no out.
For anyone trying to suggest this way of life is 'good'. There's a reason why so many of our ancestors fought so damn hard to enable our empowerment, financial independence and recognition that beyond a wife or a mother: we are a person first.

To be a at home mom and have your partner be able to bring home enough money to live in a beautiful home and be there every second to watch your kids grow is what every mother should want! And ya she should be cooking all meals and bathing kids and making sure husband has everything he needs cloths out lunch packed etc. and on top of it ya she needs to maintain herself also.
Only thing I would change and send kids off to school so it can give her some time for herself even though two kids are still home. They have nap times etc.
I’m a mother of three. I have two still living home in high school. So just giving my opinion

I was a trad wife for a few years while our now adult child was small. I absolutely loved it because I'm highly domestic and enjoy my home environment. To be an effective Trad wife you must have a passion for family orientation. I too was an Early Childhood Education college major so nurturing and teaching children came easy for me. Also you must be frugal because there is only one income coming in the household. Preparation of homemade foods and acquiring skills such as manicuring your own fingernails and haircuts are important as well.

My husband and I lived like this for 35 years, then 11 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I’ve had 4 big surgeries. He has taken great care of me. He dose all the cooking, cleaning and shopping. That’s just what marriage and love is all about. I loved staying home with my children. I enjoyed cleaning and taking care of my husband. I did work for 10 years and I still did all the house, cooking and child care. Married almost 46 years. I married at the age of 15 and I would not change a day.

I love having the freedom to be able to be home with my child and not have to rush out to be on anybody's schedule I get to cook and eat whenever I'm ready to and I get to pretty much do whatever I want in the daytime and take care of my house and my family all at the same time and focus on my reading and all the other additional hobbies that I love so being a housewife and a traditional wife is not bad at all and my personal opinion and I said that my last opinion was my last one but this might be my last.

Traditional roles. These gendered roles were only popular over a short period of time (50s-60s) and by families who were already well off and could afford only one breadwinner. Prior to this time most women also had to engage in the workforce because otherwise they couldnt afford to live. Much like now. Not saying this isnt a legit way to live for some coupes but its a bit of a myth that it is traditional or the way it always was/used to be, it wasnt historically unless you were fairly wealthy.

At least they don’t seem toxic like some of these other trad families. She also has a background in childcare and child education, so it’s not like she’s been forced in a role she’s not interested in taking.
She’s actually in a higher position than the husband imo. All he does is go to work. Wife basically runs the house, not just work cooking and raising children but literally paying the bills and organizing all these schedules. She’s already a girl boss.

Wow I could say I used to be a traditional wife AND worked full time. Did all the housework, cooked and looked after the children. The husband just used to go to work. I didn’t know any different. These days my second husband likes to cook too. I do all the housework, no kids at home now and we are retired. If I don’t feel like cooking, my husband will. He does the outdoor work. Not saying anything wrong with the traditional way if all is agreeable.

I don’t see nothing wrong with this. On the contrary it’s a luxury nowadays for moms to be able to stay home with their babies. The only thing about is homeschooling. I do believe kids need to be social on a daily basis. I am a stay home mom myself but my kids go to school. And I have live in nanny that helps me with the house and kids. That is a way for my husband to help me be more at ease since there is so much to do at home.

Every family, couple, life. is different. I may differ with their choices, but online with all the hate going on, all I can say is; as long as it is out of respect and everyone's choice, I respect and support you.
That might not be my choice of life, but the importante parte is; I cannot judge any life by a video, or any person that happily lives their own life.
Much love to you

You know what the real problem is Acting like one way is better than another or one way is wrong and another way is right. There is no right or wrong! FYI - I found work to be WAY easier than taking care of multiple young kidsI feel like this isn’t stated enough. Going to work was a breeze and a break from the insanity of kidsnot the other way around like men often say/imply.

I didn’t realize I have been a Trad wife all these years. i thought I was a wife and a mom to my family. We used to call it a Stay At Home Mom. And what a blessing and privilege to be able to afford to be a Tradwife. Don’t ever let anyone make you feel it’s a less than them role - do what works for you and your family. Your family is blessed to have you.

Nothing wrong with this. I was a stay at home mum for 21 years I went back to work 2 years ago when our youngest was 14. Hubby and I share the load since but when I stayed home I did the traditional wife mum role I chose that not my hubby he was fine with it. He didn't expect a clean house or dinner st a certain time. I loved being with my kids, i still do

The movement of homeschooling in the US is so curious. So many people suddenly think they're qualified and experienced enough to teach 0-18 years old, with only a website and some books
Hope it becomes more regulated. Otherwise, there's going to be a lot of undereducated and undersocialised young adults in a couple of years.

There's no amount of money in the world that can make up for the time missed what your children and your family and that's the reason why there's so much divorce now. With our ancestors this was normal for the woman to take care of the children and the men to provide I don't know why this is seems to be so foreign in 2024.

As long she has money saved up in case of divorce or emergencies, it's all cool! And as long he doesn't cut her away from family and friends. Sad but every man is a liability to the mental and physical health of women. Women are the prize, they're the gatekeepers of life and they deserve more than the bare minimum.

Well said
If she was capable of doing it, she would do it
It is very hard to stay at home. I did it and I do it nowadays I can deliver food to make some side money, which is helpful but 18 years ago that wasn’t available very hard to stay home mentally and then of course that would be physically too.
