@@honeysuckle marathoning you!
What brand of heavy cream did you use to make the butter? I love making homemade butter!
I always thought every white person knows how to make bread! like every asian knows how to make rice😂😂like it's in the blood✨ obviously it's not the case🤷♀🤷♀
I loved how you changed your wardrobe to match the vibe of trad wife videos, it was amusing and you looked really pretty.
I really tried!! Hahha it was fun to channel each of them. thank u!! 😄😄
it helps to "look[ed] really pretty" that she's really pretty to begin with
(I'm straight female and just stating a fact)
Lol na
I’m a chef at a farm to table restaurant and I will say The way that Emily mariko (or however u spell it) prepares her food is VERY reminiscent of how we do it at work.
You use salad spinners in your restaurant? That's funny ^^
@@misfit_wonderland 🤔 u must not be very smart lol we get our produce fresh from farms that’s why it’s FARM TO TABLE so we have to obviously wash it with industrial salad spinners made for the kitchen.
And as a mom of 5 kids… it is possible to make sourdough, cook from scratch, garden, farm 🐑 🦆, homeschool, etc…. But it doesn’t always look pretty and it’s not always done and def not everyday with toddlers/babies 😄
Same same. I make it all but it’s not for instagram views, it’s to feed kids 🤣
7:40 I make sourdough bread on a regular basis, and I always make two loaves at a time. They would go moldy if left at room temp for more than a few days. My solution is to slice my loaves completely once they’ve cooled down to room temp, put the slices in an airtight container, and immediately stick them in the freezer. When I want a slice, I toast it right out of the freezer and it tastes just as fresh as day 1! Highly recommend as a way to stretch out the freshness of your bread.
I always have this issue with my sourdough! Gonna steal this idea for sure.
Agreed. I use a fabric bread bag rather than an airtight container but it still toasts beautifully! Dare I say it may even taste better than fresh…
the immediate trad wife impression got me 😂
Hahah I had to! They’re so distinctive 😄
Thing is, if it was actually affordable to only have one full time job per household, I'd absolutely be a trad wife for my fiance. That, however, is a CHOICE that I would be making since I love cooking and baking for him so much. It's when you see weirdos demand that all women be trad wives is where it gives it a strange feeling and negative connotation.
Man, I'd love to just be at home and not work - well, not in the usual way most people do. Bake, clean, make art - i want that so bad.
@@shrimpyalfredo3933 Exactly! It'd be a dream come true! I often fantasize about all the bread I could make if I wasn't forced to work. 💜
There's a difference between a housewife and a tradwife is the thing.
@@Rose-jz6sx So what is the difference?
@@ShadowmarkReturns tradwife is more of a 24/7 fetish/kink thing than it is about who does the cooking and cleaning.
Thanks, again for being fair! I’m no trad wife, believe me. And as a trend, I think it’s…interesting, but the hate they get for creating content, just like everyone else is bizarre. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do it all for your family. Some people like that. It’s not for everyone, but we all have guilty pleasure watching. You’ve been so honest lately, and you don’t tear people down, regardless of affiliation. I’ve watched you for years, but I respect you more than ever.
Thank you!! I appreciate you!! 🥰🥰
Totally agree
I think it's a bit of an oversimplification to assume any negative feedback is "hate" or "bullying".
You may be aware that we are experiencing a major set back in terms of women's rights and that misogyny is as strong as ever. With that in mind, how do you think it feels for actual housewives to be force feed content portraying rich women playing housewives and making it look as though it is easy when they have access to hired help 24/7 and an unlimited budget.
It wouldn't be an issue if people, especially men, were aware that normal women cannot possibly measure up to these standards and didn't hold it against them. Except they do, and women (actual, real life women) are suffering from it.
Now, while they are entitled to making the content of their choosing, it is obvious that the ethical thing to do would be to disclose that their video are purely for entertainment and not a reflection of their real lives. They are living incredibly privileged lives that in the current economy most of us can only dream of. Except, again, that they don't. Because the source of their success is not the recipe, or the beautiful dresses or the ASMR. It's the fantasy that being such a perfect housewife is not only possible, but that other women are lazy for failing to measure up.
So no, it's not surprising they receive negative feedback. And the insistance that women are being "irrational and hateful" for being pissed about it looks a lot like gaslighting.
@@lise7538exactly!!
@@honeysuckledisappointed in this video ngl. They don't deserve to be hyped up in any way. Don't bring us backwards.
Ballerina farm has said herself that the videos sometimes take several days and they she definitely doesn’t do it every day because it’s hard. She’s never lied or misrepresented herself. She’s creating a farm and business and trying to provide good food although expensive
I dont see you as a trad wife. I see you as a tester and reviewer. Youre helpful and practical. Definitely one my favorite content creators
So, with Emily Mariko, her veggie/meal prep is very smart and can save a LOT of time during the week. If all the veggies/fruits are prepped and ready to go on the weekend, during a busy work week, I can just grab things from the fridge and toss them in the oven or on the stove (or even straight onto a plate!). Although it can seem a bit time-consuming (not really though since 1 hour isn't too bad), it can save a LOT of headache throughout the week. The last thing I want to do is prep veggies after being in the office all day.
I decided to bite the bullet and do more meal/veggie prepping like this and it really helped me eat healthier and get to bed earlier during a work day. I can see how this would REALLY be helpful if I had kids and had to throw things into their lunchbag for them too before we all head out of the house to work/school!
I agree
Right! I chop up everything that I want to put on a salad except the tomatoes days in advance and just throw complex salads together in 5 mins or less.
I think it's helpful if you think of it as time shifting as opposed to time saving. Because all of that is going to need to be done at some point. But doing it ahead of time for me can be the difference between making an actual meal or just making whatever is quickest during the week when I'm tired.
I’ve been doing this as ”salad bar in the fridge” since the mid 90s.
Yeah but meal prepping isn't new people have been doing that for a long time. Yes it's save time that's why people do it especially those who work and are on a health journey
Btw I do agree that Ballerina Farm is showing only the beautiful parts of her day and I do think they have a business but that doesn’t mean it’s not a picture of what she strives for and loves. I am a mom to 5 kids, have dairy goats for the milk, make mozzerella, sourdough bread and have a garden. Not because my husband makes me stay home but because I love this work and believe it is way more fulfilling than staying in the career world. My children and my husband are so worth it.
The way the kale was prepped, by ribbing the stems out by hand, is how you prep large bulk hearty greens that we use a TON in the south. So when processessing something like collard greens, if you go sit with a grandma and prep a batch, you do it by hand as well but not QUITE like you (or her I suppose?) do. You just wrap your hand around the leaf and slide the leaf away from the very hard middle stem. This middle stem is removed in collards particularly because it doesn't soften up right and you want homogeneous softness. So when you say "she doesn't prep them like normal by just cutting them out" she's actually doing it way closer to how it IS done normally, you just got used to seeing influencer and tv food prep instead of family food prep.
While trad wife life might be trending now you have to remember that real "trad. wives", i.e., those living in the 1800s etc. didn't spend all day in the kitchen but were also out in the fields helping with the farming, the livestock, their own vegetable gardens etc. before returning to their kitchens to make the meals, and then staying up late scrubbing floors, rendering fat, sewing clothes, mending, prepping for the next day's meals, etc. which probably why they were lucky to reach 40 years of age - though undoubtably looking like they were 80. Nothing glamorous about being an actual trad wife.
It’s not even just back in the 1800s. Women now still life that life and do those things. They aren’t trying to be trendy or setting unrealistic expectations like tik tok would have us believe. Those women actually work hard and are usually pretty happy with their choices because it was their choice.
Women have always lived longer than men. The near doubling of global life expectancy was mainly due to modern medicine advances (ie vaccines). There’s plenty of societies around the world that operate in the traditional household structure today and those women still outlive the men on average
Some of us still do that today
40 but looking 80? Maybe go ahead and research a bit ant you’d find it’s not like that. It couldn’t be.
14:51 Using your hands and not straining is how it's done traditionally in Italy. Also, the leftover whey is what's used to make ricotta.
Tell me more about the ricotta please!!!
Enlighten us please 😅
Yep
@@katfox678you make it from the whey of mozzarella but I also do from the chev and cottage cheese whey too. You just get the whey to almost a boil, add lemon juice or vinegar, stir, take it off the heat, let it sit for 10 min and strain through a cheese cloth
Smith is a performer, and everything she does is a show.
Which chef on TV cooks in simple, boring clothes? Haven't you seen Spaghetti queen or other female chef? Why are people so jealous of a young, married life?
This💯...and also Nara never says she is a tradwife...intact she says she just loves to cook... @@R1Neey123
I mean yeah she's a social media plant funded by the Mormon church to make them seem progressive.
@@R1Neey123 why is a criticism automatically perceived as jealousy?
@@Toywins Then what else can it be? Love?
The ballerina farms bit was top notch
Hahah it was fun 😅
I heard that women in the 1950's started taking drugs to perk them up because they were the first generation of women that didn't have to struggle to get their family to survive. Like suddenly it was expected for everyone to survive the winter, they didn't have to rely on mom's gardening and canning to last them for food or her sewing blankets to keep them warm. But then it made them feel like there wasn't much to live for. I like that I get that sense of providing for my family when I make homemade things from scratch for them, but I'll never get the experience of fending for my family's survival (at least in modern day USA). This was a fun video to watch! Thanks for making it!
I heard a psychologist saying a similar thing but about men and chopping firewood/ hunting for their family’s literal survival, and how working in an office contributes to feelings of worthlessness and his suggestion for men who are hopeless and depressed was to live in nature survival mode and get back to the innate positive feelings that come from it. He also wanted men to stop ordering food and go make it themselves as a way to transition from boys whose mom does everything to men who do it themselves.
Nara Smith still models and whatnot, so she’s not necessarily a trad wife.
She's not a "Tradwife", because she has a job which is a model.
Actually, none of them are trad wives. They all have a job and that is pretending to be a trad wife on social media, selling a romanticized version of a trad wife.
@@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880 She is also a very successful tiktoker which is very much a job in itself.
Hell, she probably out earns her modelling contracts with her bubble gum from scratch.
@@Diana-qp2rwand selling christian nationalism, that's their main job
Love the videos you make.
I grew up in Latvia. Grew up on a farm/middle of nowhere, nearest town is 10 minute drive. My mum was stay at home and she looked after us. Made things from scratch with not alot of money. We had our own chickens, rabbits an a cow. And sometimes my dad used to bring freshly hunted deer and duck. Lived sustainably and made things from scratch.
These videos out here about trad wife are just there to make content and views.
I disagree - in America, it is very difficult for women to be traditional housewives because most households don’t make it financially unless both parents are working so all they are doing is monetizing the fact that they stay home and making it more commercially viable - it does help that most of them come from rich families, or have rich husbands, but women are NOT respected for being traditional housewives so if you want the satisfaction of feeling like you still have a respectable profession, being a content creator is one of the few viable ways to combine these two things.
@@loveszappa I think if you're married to a literal billionaire, you can afford to do domestic work for free without monetizing it. That ballerina lady does it because she wants to make content and get views and sell products. It's not a bad thing, but it's not like it's what's keeping them afloat.
I grew up on a farm in the Missouri Ozarks. We did a lot of of things by hand/from scratch growing up. We had a large garden every year until I was in Jr high and Gramma would come over and help us can or freeze and we'd go over to her house to help with hers.
Just saying, none of these "trad wives" areby doing it by themselves and without a massively huge bank account to help. It's all a grift!!!!!!
It's all in the budgeting. You can get rather far with a little if you know what you are doing.
There's a ton of people that do this on homesteads and they did it years ago as well without a bunch of money. It's not a grift there's lots of people that live this way and even grow and eat their own food. Have you ever heard of a homestead
@@Angelface11 Sure, but those people aren't putting out multiple high-quality videos about it on the daily.
@@O2life Yeah, nor are they heart surgeons, nor rocket engineers, nor are they doing endless other things. Having a financially successful YT channel alone is a rare privilege, but I don't hear any of you complaining about how "unattainable" and "unrealistic" it is, just like owning a successful business. The majority of businesses fail within 5 years, but that doesn't mean businesses are "unrealistic," millions of people starting new businesses surely don't agree with that claim.
@@victor_2216 Sure helps if you start out as a billionaire.
Hearing you speak on ballerina farms reminds me of back in the 90s when we were learning that a lot of the “reality” shows were heavily scripted. People were so shocked to learn that the drama was not all real.
If you go to their RUclips channel every video has a lot of people praising her for living the way she lives and doing what she doew so a lot of people really believe that's what she lives like.
I think this has nothing to do with being a wife. LiZiQi is single and a communist working on a commune farm caring for her grandmother. However, her videos are about how traditional Chinese food and crafts are made and women "of the craft" know exactly what she is doing, how she is doing it, why she is doing it, and gain important insights into the life and protection spells of Western China.
Ooooh I love how you mentioned LIZIQI!!! She has THE BEST channel on RUclips!
Oooh she is the best out there. I wish she would make youTube videos again.
She's the OG I always said nara Smith got nothing on her cuz liziqi plan year ahead sowing her own grain wait to ripen then plow. It take her years to prepare her food. She's not tradwife and she have lot of skills. I hope she comes back. I remember those japanese mom making bento box they are doing it before tradwife trend. I think this whole tradwife trends comes results of cottagecore. So yeah it might be real into it or inauthentic.
@@flymetotheup9904 I agree. All the American homesteaders aren't cutting the mustard either because it is all about them. LiZiOi's videos are all about the nature of food and crafts and how to make and enjoy them. They teach you real life. This will become very important when the consumerism world collapses. And this is an imminent "when" not a potential "if". There is another channel called Country Life Vlog from Azerbaijan that, if you watch the videos from the beginning, will teach you exactly how to build a resilient country commune. Add a biogas digester power plant and gas provider and you will reach autarky for your community. Just do not let any investor institutional or otherwise in - personal contribution only.
There was a video on how Liziqi is also fake, the thing is who cares. I love her videos too. I think a lot of people are seriously realizing how disconnected we are from nature and old wisdom in general and have decided they want it back.
Obviously we can’t all go and make our own bamboo furniture or make our own cheese everyday but we want to have that knowledge and these creators are giving us that in ways that make us think that we can do even a small bit. And where is the harm in that?
what most people are most concerned about with ballerina farms is the relationship with her husband. allegedly, he pressured her to leave school when she did, pressures her into having more kids, and didnt allow her to get an epidural or other pain relief during birth. again, this is alleged, as far as I know, but that is the focus of the discourse that I have seen.
It's not about women genuinely wanting to bake their own bread etc, it's about women being pressured into a role by a man who can hold financial power over them etc. and i am not saying this is the situation for all trad wives but once you have one person earning and controlling all the money, there is definitely a risk there
Well said !!!
speaking on epidurals I dont think many women know that some women like myself, absolutely do not want epidurals or any interventions during birth because of the negative effects (this is not speaking on emergencies or high risk pregnancies) and so not wanting these things are our way of wanting to be healthy and I am glad my husband supports me on this. Your body, if you allow it provides superior pain relief - if you go the full natural route. Cant wait for my second home birth soon :) I wish we could afford to buy land and live off the land in that healthy environment instead of the toxic city life - but its great we all have different outlooks
*Allegedly* is the key word.
She wasn’t pressured into anything. She’s already spoken out about all the allegations you pose and she wholeheartedly speaks positively about her husband and family that she chose to move out of NY to create.
This is funny because you can find video or audio of that woman contradicting literally every single one of these allegations.
To truly understand what a "trad wife" is, and I use that term loosely, a lot of us just have to look back to our own Mothers, Grandmothers or Great G'Mas. My maternal Grandmother raised 5 children, took care of her invalid bedridden Sister, did most of the farm work and gardening plus cooked all the meals on a wood stove, did the laundry with the mangler (she had no hot water heater so all the laundry water and bath water was heated on the wood stove) did all the housework and though she didn't own a vacuum, her house was spotless plus she washed and dressed deceased people whose family could only just afford to bury their dead. She preserved vegetables, fruit, fish, made barrels of sauerkraut, baked her own bread, made her own butter and still had her beautiful long hair in braids and tied up on her head, looking like she never broke a sweat. TikToxic is too much at times.
Also, carrot tops are delicious in soups and stews. Same with celery leaves; I add a tin of tomatoes and celery leaves cut finely to tinned tomato soup and it's so good 🤤
@@rose191991 they did it because they didn't have a choice. I'm sure they would have loved a little bit of modern convenience! My grandmother did the same things, but she always warned her kids to not have a bunch of kids, she had 10!
I think there is a lot of difference in people who chose to stay home because they think women are supposed to stay home to take care of kids, and people who don't think that. The Trad wife term started with the former, which i don't support.
This, if people CAN and WANT to be a stay at home spouse, cool beans. The anger more or less comes from the fact that there are misogynistic chuds trying to push this as the ONLY option for women in turn robbing us of autonomy by compulsory domestic servitude and said chuds are currently running for or are already in office and some of us don't want our rights to work and be financially independent to be taken away. Also [apologies,going on a small tangent], constantly hearing the snide remarks of being miserable cat women for not being a house frau gets exhausting after a while when being a cat mom isn't a bad thing, just feed them,give them love and keep their sandbox clean. These recipes are neat so no hate there in the least bit BUT realistically, not all trad wives weren't like this in the 50's.
Many were unhappy to return to their former roles when getting a taste of freedom and opportunity during WW2 working the factories. Lots of drinking and pills for days [and the occasional lobotomy], many are worried about returning to those times especially as alot of the more redpill conservative camp praising these influencers for "learning their place" *barf* Again, no hate to the influencers but the anxiety is fuckin' real.
In France we have bakeries everywhere so making bread at home is not really useful.
As for butter, you can enhance the flavor by fermenting the cream a bit.
I would love fresh French baguette everyday!!
How do you 'ferment' butter? Would love to try this.
Ouais après ça dépend d'où tu vis et de combien de personnes vivent dans un même foyer, dans les grandes villes acheter du pain dans une boulangerie qui fait pas du surgelé peut très vite devenir un gros point dans les dépenses mensuelles (+ ça dépend des revenus, c'est malheureux mais en France de moins en moins de gens peuvent se permettre d'acheter même une baguette).
@@DwillennMais ils peuvent se permettre de faire leurs propres baguettes à la maison ? Est ce que les petites économies faites justifient le temps qu'ils investissent chaque matin ?
@@Killerdolce1 Les gens n'ont pas tous un four, vous seriez choqué par le nombre de foyers qui n'ont pas de fours. De plus que certes faire du pain est simple sur le papier, mais les gens n'ont pas tous une affinité pour la cuisine et le résultat peut-être insatisfaisant
It's unrealistic because by the time the cereal is made it'll be lunch time
🤷🏼♀️You could make it the night before like prepping cinnamon rolls
its not unrealistic, it all depends on how you plan your time and prioritize certain things
Sure, but that’s not what she’s doing. She claims to do it while toddlers are waiting for breakfast. No kid is going to wait for a from scratch meal like that when screaming for food in the morning.
Honestly it probably doesn’t take any longer than making muffins in the morning
@@kedb621 You're missing the point - Sounds like you don't have kids. Nara has people watching her kids while she films these videos. Young kids aren't going to sit around and wait for cereal from scratch. They'll scream, cry, and destroy the house if they have to wait too long for breakfast.
I recently discovered you, and life has felt better ever since. Thankyou Dzug!
as a former ballerina, you can leave ballet and not "sacrifice" it. ballet can get monotonous, specially if you aren't good enough to be the principal. "standing at the back waving a rose" like the movie says gets old quick. OR she may have injured herself. that is extremely common.
also my mum has a full time job and is not rich and still she started to make bread and yogurt from scratch because she just got so mad that it was all so expensive and bad quality. I also make my own bread and I have 2 jobs, grad school and no husband. some people just like to cook
I agree. Even though my Mom always stayed at home and took care of most of the cooking, my Dad, who works as a doctor and therefore has more work hours than many people do, still bakes bread almost daily. He likes it and it doesn’t take that long, you just have to plan ahead a bit and work it in your schedule.
I also make most things from scratch as a student because I like cooking. It’s very doable and I still have enough time to study, workout daily, play the piano, and do creative writing.
Yeah, my mum makes apple cider vinegar, and at home we make yoghurt, butter, and sometimes even pickles
Ballerina farm was forced to leave ballet. Her husband didnt even let her get anesthesia while delivering babies, so she had to do most of the at home suffering and feeling the pain because he wanted so. 2 babies she had to go to hospital because of her condition, and her husband did not let her take any anesthesia, he wanted her to feel the pain.
He even said that ssometimes she is so tired she cant get out of bed for days.
He is a bilionaire. His family even owns a flight company. Ballerina wanted vacation to greece as birthday present, and he gave her just a apron to collect eggs.
@@marialves9017just be a his family is rich doesn’t mean he is - they don’t flaunt their wealth at all- you have no idea where they travel - you just see what they show
Agree. I finally got myself into sourdough as lazily as I could when I was unwilling to spend $7 or more a loaf. Now it's just an easy part of my new routine.
A lot of what I’ve seen is exactly what I used to do as a kid with my grandmother. She passed on me all this traditions and now as an adult feels natural and brings me joy. I don’t always do it, but when I do is like food for my soul 🤍
i think it’s the idea that these mothers give their babies the “healthiest lifestyles” when actually it’s promoting mormonism lol
I think that’s a huge reach!
I’m an atheist and I’ve made bread from scratch before. Many people did during lock down.
@@FIyingDumpling But are you out there showing your daily bread and cheese making and talking about how great it is for your children that you do it?
@@O2lifejealous are ya ?
even if it was about promoting Mormonism, doesnt mean you cant watch just for the good tips, do you watch things only made by people who share your religious or non religious view? I doubt it lol
As always, I love your videos. They are informative and fun. You also seem to be a very kind person who doesn’t follow the hype and trashing other content creators.
I’m so glad you didn’t trash them! Thank you for that! Cuz truthfully I find this stuff inspirational even if I can’t do it right now as a mom. It just helps me to aspire to be creative as a mom.
they deserve to be trashed but okay lmao
Meh… I love the recipes but I rather follow recipes from people who don’t think the gays are evil, I’m queer so maybe I’m biased :).
@@sjworrier0613 You receive the energy you put out.
Inspirational. No. These women are not living the lives of the women of the time period they are trying to represent. For real get a grip.
@@Kadeda🙌🙌🙌
I started watching your videos when your first daughter was still a baby. Love seeing you grow your channel with those ups and downs. Wish you all the best ❤
I cannot understand the current internet obsession with Nara Smith. She looks absolutely miserable in every single video she makes.
Wait.... Those were leftovers?! That's like a 2 person piece of salmon that I'd easily make into a meal
Who’s got time when everyone got full time jobs with no breaks too 😭😭😭
Also need to rewatch all your recipe videos because I’ll be living on my own soon and need ideas
U are aware u are not slave work job that makes you happy not the one that drains energy from you people do such stuff when they have free time
Well not everyone has a job some women are still not working.
And honestly time management is important.
But honestly its wayy worse if your in america .
Not as hard in europe.
Well the “trad wives” in those videos have a full time job. Content creators
@gintasasd you really saying this when the job market is so bad that even most college grads cant get their dream job?
@@shrimpyalfredo3933 maybe simple idea study what needed not sudo sciences u really think when u graduate u be getting job and making 1milion a month bruh americans are so easy to trick its not even funny
I wouldn't call Emily Mariko a trad wife? She used to be a fashion influencer, went to Stanford, and then transitioned exclusively into food/ organization when those vids starter going viral for her. What has she ever claimed to be promoting? I think it's unfair to attribute this trend to her.
I agree. Also, I don’t have TikTok but I remember her from her being on RUclips. She seemed like a regular girl who worked in Silicon Valley and had fun vlogging on the side. I remember being surprised she blew up with some of her food content!
The intro had me dying 😂😂😂
Best Nara Smith intro ever❤
One of the best things I did for myself was to learn to cook. It's great skill to have and it means I can make many foods without having to buy them premade. The ice cube on rice is the same as sprinkling water on it before microwaving it. Adds a little moisture back to rice once it's been in the fridge. I put potatoes and onions in the fridge in cotton bags as they keep longer that way and the cotton absorbs any moisture.
Omg the homemade cereal is a great idea the day before but I saw the video and she says she makes it that morning. “My daughter woke up and wanted fruit loops for breakfast so I decided to make it for her.”
When my kids wake up I have 5 seconds to get breakfast on the table before they scream in hunger 😅
Who’s got time when everyone got full time jobs with no breaks too
Also need to rewatch all your recipe videos because I’ll be living on my own soon and need ideas
You know what's a full time job with no breaks? Parenthood 😂. You really don't get time off. At least with a full time job you can quit. You get off when your shift is over, you get sick days, you get PTO, you get vacation
@@leannegibbs1064yeah but maybe there’s more joy and fulfillment in taking care of your children than being a cog in the corporate machine
This was such a great summarization of all the trad wife influencer drama LOL 😂🙏🏼
I think the thing that is overlooked about all these "tradwives" is the fact they probably have staff that takes care of their kids, set design, filmography, and food prep.
I’m pretty sure they have a lot of help, because it’s normal to have workers on a farm.
But they’ll never say it to get into more controversy to get more views.
It’s nothing we haven’t seen before though everyone is doing it!
In my kitchen even with a baggie on top of the herbs in a jar, they rot. I wrap them in a paper towel and then place them in a Debbie Meyers green bag. They stay much fresher that way.
You save the greens for pesto! Add basil, olive oil, lemon juice, some kind of nut like walnuts (cheapest), garlic, and parmesean. So good!
Or I to soups
She’s also miss New York City and she homeschools their children. I think she did a video on why they chose this way of life to bring their kids up in. She’s still working & doing events and there’s videos showing them all working together. It’s a family business they do together with the children. Even down to the washing of the eggs and filling cartons.. their meal boxes etc. Lots of videos on their farm business they’re leaving to their children.
A real TRAD wife, wouldn’t even be on TikTok.
I cook quite a bit of our food from scratch, and I love doing it - the experience, the nutrition - it’s so worth it. But my cooking process isn’t nearly as camera-ready as your trad wife influencers! There’s a reason they can make money at it, and good for them 🙌
It sucks that social media has gotten everyone to label everyone. One cannot just live simply…
Honestly, I like that you tried what Emily Mariko does because it's not just about being a trad wife, it's also about where you live.
Maybe she does it for content but I'm from Mexico and if you don't clean your veggies and cut them you don't eat. It's so time consuming later, because it's something you have to do right away. Here it's not a matter of being trad wife, it's a matter of doing what you have to do.
But in my opinion it's a lite bit refreshing to see house chores, like cooking, romanticize a little bit. It helps to hate them less and it even gives you ideas of things to do.
That’s a really great perspective!! I like that it motivates people to see the positive and bright side of doing chores, because most people really don’t like doing them! 😅
You're right. I grew up hating chores and organising until I stumbled upon a group of Korean & Japanese youtuber mom doing chores at home and cooking for family. It completely changed my perspective! They taught me that if we're given the chance to do it for our family, do it proudly and break it down to manageable details. Now I enjoy keeping my home clean and cooking from scratch for my family!
I prefer to slice all of my homemade bread and freeze it. That way my family is not eating bread everyday but it is readily available when we need it.
The controversy over Ballerina Farm isn't if it's real, obviously it's a fantasy and obviously it's their business. I don't think anyone is questioning that. What people are concerned about is that her husband bullied her into marriage before she was ready, won't let her get epidurals, interrupts her every 3 seconds and won't let her do her own interviews by herself, she ends up so exhausted she spends a week in bed to recover regularly (yes Daniel bragged about that) and the fact they put on this act of "we worked so hard to start and build this business all by ourselves" when they were given millions by Daniel's billionaire dad. And while they cosplay humble farmers while being millionaires, America's family farms are going under as big corporations and rich cosplayers buy their land etc. Oh and the fact Daniel won't let Hannah dance when she asked to have a dance studio built for herself. This isn't about judging people for creating beautiful cinematrography content for tiktok and instagram. This is about selling Christian Nationalism and making the oppression of women look appealing with a pretty bow on top of
Yes thank you!!
9:12 I always mix furikake into it when I make it too for a little extra seasoning/flavor
That’s was not an expose! That was a bunch of lies!! The writer even had to retract herself! She probably going to be sued cuz she said so many lies, framing her husband as abusive and her as a victim. She also answered.
And she does not claim to do it all by herself. She also told her followers that she does not do all that homemade food by herself every single day! Just when they shoot a video on it!
Please remember not to precook rice and store it in the fridge. If you can't freeze it, cook it freshly. There is a bacterium in rice that develops quickly and is highly toxic. It is present in all kinds of starchy foods like noodles, but it grows in rice the fastest. I ended up in the ER with food poisoning because I did not know this. This is especially dangerous for children as they can become dehydrated and lose electrolytes very quickly from vomiting and diarrhea.
Nota smith isnt technically a trad wifes because she works against the meaning of trad wife a more traditional wife .
They are all content creators, so they all work
Err, what do you think “trad” wife means? “Traditional.”
Not going to lie. I look forward to your recipe reviews. Love them!
I guess I was a “trad wife” once upon a time due to poverty. It’s exhausting making every single thing from scratch
Just wanted to state how I appreciate you for trying these recipes out, taking the time and effort that you put into making all these foods. I’ll probably try making butter homemade.
A lot of the problems people have with trad wife content is they are proclaiming that it's a lifestyle and not a job. If you are staying at home and not having to do every single thing, you have help, and you are working full-time as a content creator, you have a job and they are trying to sell it as something different. If they just said oh I like this stuff and it's kind of fun to dress up like this, no one would have a problem with it.
Not to mention so many of them are proven to be stealing from lots of other small creators, and that's really messed up.
Nara Smith being one of them, that it's close enough a judge is looking at letting the original creator sue her.
The recipes are cool, and people love supporting channels on youtube, it's how they are politicizing things and making it seem like their lives are attainable for people who don't have maids, nannies, literal butlers and millions of dollars in the bank.
FINALLY someone else agrees with me that the best part of salmon is skin! Thank you Honeysuckle
I make it crispy like chips!! Sooo good 😄😄
@honeysuckle ooh I’ll have to try that sometime. You should do a video on it!
Ice will not melt in the microwave if it is completely frozen because microwaves work on liquid water. Ice water molecules are “stuck” in place and cannot vibrate to heat up. Unlike food water molecules that can. It’s the vibration of the molecules that is the heating up of the food.
That's right. Though I believe the real mechanism lies in the fact that water expands as it freezes. As it expands, the bond lengths between the water molecules increases out of the range thst the microwave can heat. (Microwave ovens work by making bonds in the atoms of the food jiggle, but only in very specific bond length ranges.) Though that's just conjecture.
The cereal was first done by the lady who smiles while she cooks. She usually has a ribbon in her hair she’s very graceful
12:07 oh my god... Influencers DON'T show their REAL life and only show their PERFECT image and are completly different when the camera is off?? SHOCKING reveal xD
I loved how excited you were making your homemade treats.. self satisfaction from creating food is awesome. Why can’t we praise other people for doing good rather than taking a self offense?
Actually, Emily Mariko, is wealth from the start, I followed her on RUclips way before TikTok existed, she use to do content such as what are the best denim, are these clothes worth it etc, where she actually talks. I’m happy with whatever content she is making. Ps she used to work for Facebook
When I saw the recommendation for this video I read the title as “I tested controversial tired wife recipes” and thought “I’m a tired wife. This sounds like my kind of recipes.”. It took me a second before I realized that it was “trad”, not “tired”.. Oh well.. 😂
I like your critical thinking on the Times article. I had the same reaction but that's because I run my own business so I knew the channel was business marketing. The article definitely had bias since the author literally cut out some of Hannah's statements (you can get more context from the Times podcast) when quoting her in the article. I'm childfree by choice and only cook (not from scratch) once or twice a week but I don't think Hannah is a trad wife- she is obviously works for a business. She isn't even a stay-at-home-mom. BTW, Hannah says she only makes meals from scratch every couple of weeks because it takes 4-5 hours or a couple of days (her words) to put them together.
I love your videos! You are just real and I can totally relate. Haha
No, I had to say since I quit eating meat about eight months ago that it does work out better if you prep and wash all of your vegetables at one time for the week, it makes doing meals so much quicker. I was a traditional wife before Trad wives became cool. I can tell you that nobody is this organized without help.
Nara being a model before and married to one loves fashion and it shows in her outfits. She has food intolerances too and that’s why she says she makes her own food. So good for her if that is what she can do. I’m a full time Mother on a farm and I can’t do that but if I could, why not lol.
Ballerina Farm has shown behind the scenes and admitted that completely dinner from scratch is only once every couple of weeks. I personally love her beautiful videos.
When I was a child we lived on a farm. We would use the cream from the top of the milk and make butter in a large mayonnaise jar and shake it until it turned. We were really strong back then.
I think something that’s overlooked is that you have to actually enjoy this stuff to make it work.
I personally love making things from scratch but if I didn’t enjoy it, there would be no way I’d waste all that extra time. You can still buy tasty foods from bakeries, markets, etc.
I have young kids. I cook from scratch daily, homeschool, and clean the home. It’s all about your time management. I do it because all the chemicals in our food scare me. So I do my best.
Make sure you’re doing research on the ingredients that scare you, some ingredients are honestly just using the scientific name for a word. Like
Fructose gets mistaken for High Fructose Corn Syrup
@@foxfy7780probably talking about ingredients like red dye 40 and titanium dioxide.
People are taking Nara smith too seriously. It’s not that deep. Some people prefer to make stuff from scratch because they are afraid of the ingredients in certain things, she happens to be one of those people and also happens to be someone that went viral for it. I don’t get why everyone is digging so deep into this. 4:30 people will clearly never be happy it’s honestly sad that people focus THIS much on others. I LOVE Emily’s content and I’m always watching them for long periods of time. That tote is HUGE so I kind of understand why it’s that price, also the quality looks great.
The issue with Nara Smith is she's a social media plant funded by the Mormon church, not the genre of content she makes. Her videos are super manipulative and basically recruitment tactics to make the LDS church seem progressive and idealistic for women, especially POC.
Great analysis! Thank you for trying the recipes and sharing your analysis!
"throw it into my crisper drawer and let it die" is the most relatable sentence I've heard today.
making carrot sticks by scratch, but not making a homemade kimchi is a... choice
The lady lied in the article and exaggerated a lot. She later apologized.
If you cut kale or brassicas with a metal knife it will quickly absorb the metallic taste. You’re supposed to tear or use a plastic knife.
The butter you had to keep mixing it until it becomes bigger chunks. I don't know but for me when I make food out of scratch I feel like my day is longer lol
I'd guess part of the ice cube thing has to do with the fact that a microwave actually can't melt ice, just heat the already molten water on its surface. Therefore it evaporates much slower. Maybe that's it?
Apparently the way microwaves heat up food is by heating up the water content in the food. There for, food can get dry while being heated up in the microwave. So, probably the ice is so that the microwave uses the moisture in the ice and not dry up the food.
runner beans are supper common in the uk. they're great sliced thin, lightly steamed, and them smothered in butter
Modern feminism hates seeing women happy unless it's their definition of happiness. Saying this as a 23 years old woman.
In a world of convenience, it's extremely easy for us to forget how quickly it can all be gone. A large majority of the population wouldn't survive because they don't know these basic skills.
This video is so amazing love it🎉🎉
There's a few things here
1. If you on social media you exposing yourself to so many different perspectives and cultures so expect people to agree and disagree
2. People need to realise that there's a behind the scenes and many videos are there to watch learn and enjoy. With ballerina farm I just enjoy the aesthetic of it, she's charming and relatable to us sahm... so it's enjoyable but I know that it's not something she's doing all the time. I too cook from scratch once in a while and enjoy it
3. Being a ballerina is a huge dream which many know ends when you get older. Being a mum isn't always possible in your mid-years... so choosing a homely life with a husband who's a good provider and having healthy beautiful children is a great gift and chances are, if she's a sahm growing up her kids and teaching them, giving them her time , it's a blessing... so she's blessed in so may ways. She lost out on one career opportunity which has no guarantees and a single injury means the end.
You can use the greens from carrots (and other veggies) for stock! Don't discard them! Radish greens can also be used to make a delicious creamy potato-based soup
after a week in the fridge, you're better off drinking the carrot water as all the vitamins that are water soluble are in there, the more cuts or exposed areas the quicker vitamins just evaporate. but on another note if you like the cereal, make a bigger batch on a day you have time, takes not that much longer to make a lot and keep it in a jar? but ever seen a mother of 8 clean the toilets? or dishes, clothes? these trad wives only seem to cook. Creating content is a job, they claim not to have and a woman invented WIFI and what if she decided to go trad wife instead ;-)
The whole 'TradWife' concept really seems like it’s just a trending hashtag that’s designed to get views and clicks. These creators are basically actors and actresses, dressing up in nicely tailored clothes and making their husbands do the same to give off a persona of wealth and high class. It’s all a set, with the kitchens and homes acting as backdrops, and the clothes as costumes. Sure, it might be their actual house, but a lot of it is done purely for content. The reality is, how could they possibly have all this time while raising kids? They’re probably outsourcing the editing and other tasks, which makes it clear that this ‘lifestyle’ is more about creating a fantasy for the internet than actually living it.
Those women aren't traditional wives. They have a career. They are content creators.
i used to follow Emily mariko on youtube years ago andshe used to wear colorful clothes with fruit shaped earring, i was surprised when i saw she deleted all her videos and started cooking she used to post really great videos about fashion
I think it's because she got a lot of completely unnecessary hate. It was ridiculous. It's also the reason she doesn't answer comments anymore which I remember her having done in the past.
It's therapeutic to watch. Something to help with insomnia. I wonder how many men watch this type of content? I'm an overweight, middle-aged woman and I like watching 20-something gym bros give advice on cutting and bulking...
These women are not Trad wives! They’re busy, savvy, smart business women, models, beauty queens and mothers. The trad wife bs drives me crazy.
Her name isnt on any of the business, Honeysuckle.
Her name IS NOT on the ballerina businrss AT ALL
I appreciate someone looking to these content creators without agrandizing or villainizing them but I honestly think this take is sad and sort of apologizing for her husbands very sub par treatment of her.
Its obvious from interviews he has an abusive level of control over what she says, he doesnt even have her name on the business that literally has Ballerina in the name.
He forces her to have more babies than she actively wants. Under the guise of "if you get pregannt its because god wanted it" AND literally wont "allow" her the ability to get an epidural durring child birth.
This would have been a lot more entertaining of you hadn't softly excused his abusive behavior as a business model, which is likely to influence young girls to think what he is doing is okay, by your perspective, and thus okay for them to live with.
It left a sour note to be honest
One of my faves is Gaming Foodie. She's funny and cool as heck. "Yo, my baby's crying." IYKYK 😂
