The “tradwife” lifestyle is trending across social media, especially among influencers like Nara Smith and Estee Williams.
“Tradwives” brings back the gender roles of the 50s and 60s, where women stayed at home to cook, clean and serve their husbands who earned the living, similar to films like The Stepford Wives And Don’t worry, darling.
While tradwives are often compared to housewives, the key differences between the two roles are often debated.
Housewives, I want to hear from you! What is the difference from a “traditional wife”?
Maybe the high costs of daycare are your reason for deciding to always stay at home with your little ones?
Maybe you always share household chores, like preparing dinner and folding laundry, with your partner because you two are a team?
Or have you postponed your return to work because you know your children will be grown up in no time?
