I love everything you had to say and thank you for your boldness. I too am a stay at home mom and a homesteader. I had a career for many many years before I had my children. But, there is no way I would work and have someone else raising my children. The years go by way too fast(As you know)and although there can be hard days, still, we need to be looking at the bigger picture. We are christians as well and I am so grateful to God that I get to be a mom. There are plenty of hard days, but, I will take the good and the bad...God bless you dear. Your children are beautiful and your a sweet mommy....God bless....Sherri-Idaho
I so agree with everything you said about the word "trad wife". I feel like it's meant to be derogatory. So sad! Our value as women is extremely high and to be treasured! Thank you for tackling this subject🙂🙏
I am 59 I have worked and was a stay at home mom until my youngest was in 4th grade.. staying home is harder....I only went to work because my husband had a work related accident and couldn't work..But 100% staying home is a lot more work but totally worth it..
Good girl. Those people who throw stones and are condescending is why there is a delete button. My 5 year old granddaughter looked at me a couple of weeks ago and asked me what I had wanted to be when I grew up. I said “I always wanted to be a Mom.” She looked at me and said “I think I want to be a Mom/Dentist.” Lol. I had worked the corporate world for about 10 years before having our 2nd child and we decided it was time for me to stay home and focus on what was really important. Our family. I was ecstatic. I love being a mom. A homemaker. A taxi driver. A cook. All of it. And now we have grandchildren. There have been many hard times…losing babies and losing parents. But we recently watched our daughter in law lose her dad very unexpectedly. Hardest thing so far to watch your kids go through something so awful. So yup. Life can be hard. But we have to take the good with the bad. God has his reasons. By the way…who thinks up these stupid terms? Trad? Really? Our oldest son is Brandon 🤦♀️ and he had some clients at the time ask “how do you feel having that name?” He said “doesn’t bother me. Whatever. But I can top it…my Mom’s name is Karen.” Lol. Great video!
As an older Great Grandma; I had to look up the word Trad Wife when i first heard it. I agree with another comment that i don't think its a positive label. I was a stay at home Mom and homemaker; and I still agree today, that there will never be a more important job. I do recall in social settings; a woman would as another what do you do? and the other would say Oh i am just a housewife; like she was embarrassed or felt less important, and bad about themselves. I loved hearing your thoughts on this subject and agreed with everything you said. Thanks for sharing. I don't want to forget to mention all your meals looked really delicious.
Wonderfully said! I loved staying at home but it only works if the significant other joins in the fray joyfully when they get home because the job of a homemaker is 24/7 365. Resentment builds as the years go by when the homemaker s not only taking care of a house and children invariably finds themselves also taking care of a grown man who has n respect for what you do.
Absolutely love the saying about hard things not being bad, I needed to hear that. I am 33 years old, and I spent more years of my life working two jobs than not. I am now at home with my babies, and it has been far more difficult for me than any job I’ve ever had. I know when they Our little bit can be very challenging, And I sometimes think why am I working so hard for everything. Let’s just take the kids to daycare and get a job. However, as time goes on, I am seeing so much benefit but it’s not only our baby but with myself. Definitely take some adjusting, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Thank you for the kind words and positivity.
I have a very easy chicken recipe for you. Pesto chicken bake. Spray your baking dish with oil, put in your chicken breast (i usually cut mine in half and give them a pound so they cook evenly). Salt and pepper them then spread some basil pesto on top. Slice up enough tomato to cover the chicken and then add mozzarella cheese. Bake about 20 minutes on 425 F. Serve with noodles or rice and it is yummy! I love the bowl you used to pour your broth from. You probably thrifted it so can't tell me where to find it. I have been feeling like soup lately, too! ❤
I am proud to be a TRAD wife. In my opinion being a mother and wife is a very important job and very rewarding for me. Different strokes for different folks not everyone has to live this way but don’t condemn those who find it rewarding
I don't know where a husband taking care of his family equated to a husband who controls his family..That is so untrue. When he works so hard for our families we want to care for him..We want his opinion to matter,we want him involved in decisions that's not control that's a partnership...
Wow. I think you should speak at career days at school. Girls should know they have an option other than the corporate world. We have destroyed our young girls by denigrating caring for a family. You are amazing and your voice should be shared. I'm 57, a few months away from retirement... and I can't wait to be a homemaker. It's what I would have rather have done. God bless you and your family.
Everything you said is fine and beautiful but that’s not why some people urge other women to keep a career or an independent source of income ! What would happen if your husband decides one day he doesn’t want this life anymore which is his right as it is yours as well ?! I know you might think “ my husband would never “ but while your husband would never other husbands might and some husbands would ! You can find yourself in a very bad place financially if you put your whole eggs in one basket and the basket breaks ! Besides being depend on a man is not always a good idea if society don’t back up the woman with laws to protect her financially!
@@FatemahIsOkay there is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman working to support her family. I do the same thing. That just wasn’t the topic I was talking about today 🤍
So you should make every life decision with the worst possible outcome as your driver? That doesn’t make any sense. There are millions of families that stay together. Most of the families that don’t stay together are the ones who don’t have thought out rolls and work together as a team. There are plenty of laws in place to help single mothers, but when you are unmarried, and have children with several different people, of course you’re not going to get the benefit of those laws that will help. Point being I’m not going to live my life by the one in a million chance that my husband decides to leave his role that he waited all his life to fulfill. I’m going to live my life happily, and in a way that we both believe benefits, our children and ourselves, because life is too short and too precious to do it the other way. Instead of urging women to not trust their spouse and prepare for the worst, we should be lifting each other up and being good examples of having healthy relationships And picking partners that best fits us. We should also be cultivating relationships with Jesus and talking about it with each other. This will make a much bigger difference in the world then preparing for tragedy only.
I'd hazard a guess that people who make derogatory comments are generally an unhappy, resentful, and bitter lot. Maybe those who made comments about "trad wife" had a parent or parents who did not nurture them, encourage them, support them or love them. Maybe that's why they bother to take the time to watch videos they don't like and release their miserable and jealous vitriol on those who love and enjoy life. They are in a cycle of pent up unresolved anger followed by an explosive release (with others as the target) followed by a calm period and then back into a building up of uncontrollable emotion. Most trolls are just sad, frustrated, and angry lost souls having tantrums at other's expense because life didn't give them everything they wanted. Envy is vicious.
It's not a big deal. You are making it one. Stay at home moms have been around a long time. Working women have been around a long time. Women who do both...long time. It's not news
Maybe in your life it’s not a big deal, but for some of us who do stay home with our children and take care of our home it can be. We are constantly scrutinized and judged for it. And there is also a lot of crap going around on the Internet about these women who take care of their children and stay at home. So just because you don’t see something personally affecting you doesn’t mean that it’s not happening.
a sahm is not a tradwife. a tradwife is someone cosplaying like they live in the 1800s and is totally fake. I do think it's a bit cringe to act like women who work aren't raising their kids, when you go on and on about "who is raising your children if you don't stay home?". being a sahm is so valuable. so is being able to support yourself if your husband leaves or dies. there are just so many women who are TRAPPED because they do not have any income of their own and they have to stay in abusive or nasty relationships because they literally have no choice.
I love everything you had to say and thank you for your boldness. I too am a stay at home mom and a homesteader. I had a career for many many years before I had my children.
