The Hypocrisy of TradWives and How to Actually Protect Your Finances

The "TradWives" movement has grown exponentially over the last year, with content popping up all over mainstream media, Instagram, and TikTok. TradWife videos themselves may be hashtagged #tradwife...but the “link in profile” betrays a different story.
These women aren’t actually financially submissive at all. In fact, many of them are making bank. But this runs in direct opposition to one of the hallmarks of the TradWife ethos: a glamorized financial subordination to a male partner.

I just wanted to say, those of us who are stay at home moms don’t just completely rely on our husbands for financial security. I have a nest egg I saved myself, we also have a prenuptial agreement in place. I also have a degree and experience under my resume. No one should ever quit their job for any reason without a back up plan. That’s just not very smart.

What happened to marriage being a team? Work together?

@BloodSweatandFears 2 месяца назад

@@sadfasde3108 We do work together, every day. We work together for our children and for our life together. Neither of us believe in divorce but we both know things happen in life and anything is possible. Humans are imperfect and make mistakes. So we made sure both of us would be safe and secure if anything crazy ever happened. I think if anything, that IS working together.

You’re not a trad wife then. You are a SAHM who was smart and has financial and job security to fall back on should the marriage fail. I figure trad wives are women who have nothing to offer to a relationship besides their uterus.

It’s also funny that they assume that trad wife is what all the men want nowadays. As someone who has put off relationships to work on my career throughout the first 1/2 of my 20’s I’d much rather be with someone who is also carrier oriented, independent and on a similar financial page. But maybe I’m just weird.

@sadfasde3108 2 месяца назад

Disagree. Prefer our kids to be raised by their mother.

@whitneyanders5945 2 месяца назад

No, you are perfectly normal. What modern young men actually want to be the only one working and earning money ? What they say online is very different to reality. Trad wife (unless ok being controlled and are super religious) is a one way ticket to being a single parent living in poverty. Don’t do it! Much better being on equal footing than subservient

@journeytothevoid2899 29 дней назад

⁠@@sadfasde3108the point of tradwife isn’t to not make money. It’s making money from home so they can raise their kids which wouldn’t happen outside their husband. A lot of times women fight to work only to take home less money because of childcare. It’s to each their own.

@TheQueenOfDreams 2 месяца назад

I feel so conflicted whenever I watch content on this topic. As a stay at home, homeschooling mother for over three decades, it feels like social media has pathologized normal, maternal behaviors that have been intrinsic to our species since the dawn of time. Rather than receiving the admiration that I once did for my life choices, all I hear today is politicized ideation of who I am from people who have never lived my life and truly have no idea what my life has been like. It’s surreal.

@anitalee1235 Месяц назад

I'm not a mom but I support you getting space from the dialogue about SAHMs that frankly, can sometimes come off as condescending. Wishing you (and everyone else) peace in their own choices and agency!

I appreciate your take on this topic. You demonstrated how some Tradwives are influencers and you also gave particle advice for those considering this type of lifestyle. I think some people only see the glamorized content Tradwife influencers are presenting and don’t see the underlying context of what is also going on behind the scenes. Wishing you the best and keep up the great work!

"The call is coming from inside the housewife" A+ no comments

@christinebrito6535 2 месяца назад

So because a wife works from home she's not a trad wife? And you definitely don't understand how these marriages work. We don't need permission to leave the house, we don't get an "allowance" or are denied access to the bank accounts. That's not how a healthy marriage works. Just because some of the relationships are like you describe doesn't mean that they ALL are. And frankly it's insulting that feminist say women have the choice to be what they want to be EXCEPT if it's a traditional wife.

@natashadickson4819 2 месяца назад

They aren't saying you don't have the choice, just have a backup plan in case you end up having to support yourself.

@Thomas-fl5zi 2 месяца назад

dude, why do you care so much about other people's choices and their marriages. Most tradwives are not influencers. They're happy living their dream life and you just perpetually grumpy at them.

@natashadickson4819 2 месяца назад

Because it can happen to a woman you care about. Happened to my sister. She was at home until the hubby lost his job by failing a random drug screening. Life happens. No harm in having a safety net.

@emily_8687 2 месяца назад

I'm not how explaining how to protect yourself from financial ruin in the case of a being a widow or a divorcee is her being "just perpetually grumpy at [trad wives]". Maybe just watch the short 11 minute video until the end next time before commenting to avoid looking like such a dummy?
