Sporting retro ’50s hairstyles and cinched aprons, “tradwife” influencers have taken over a pocket of the internet.
These traditional wives who showcase 30-second videos of homemade sourdough bread content, and other glimpses into the making of a perfect home, are no ordinary stay-at-home moms. They steadfastly believe in traditional gender roles. That means staying devoted to housework and taking care of the children — and being subservient to their working husbands.
Enitza Templeton of Littleton, Colorado, embodied the tradwife lifestyle for 10 years. At 4 a.m., she would start making bread and begin prep for the day’s meals — always from scratch. The mother of four would do all of the household chores, while her husband focused solely on breadwinning.
Now, after escaping a life that was “miserable” and “unfulfilling,” Templeton shares her story with her social media following and podcast listeners — to help other women who find themselves in similar situations and want a new life.
“Social media can make everything look really pretty, because it’s a 30-second clip, but 30 seconds out of 10 years really omits a lot of the ugliness in those relationships,” she said.
Templeton, now 41, said she was raised as an evangelical Christian, believing that a husband had authority over his wife. But today, she is a divorced single mom by choice and advocates for women who wish to break free from a relationship dynamic that all too easily can create an extreme power imbalance.

"These traditional wives who showcase 30-second videos of homemade sourdough bread content"
I wish there was a good bread bakery closer to my house. It takes me almost an hour to get good sourdough rolls.
There's a really goof cake bakery right around the corner though.

I don't even want to be responsible for a dog. |

I think it's an awesome lifestyle for those who can afford it and those want it. Go for it. Making meals from scratch on the daily is not for everyone, though. And always, always, have a way to take care of you and yours if necessary. Don't paint yourself into a corner having no job skills and no experience, even if home-making is really what you want.

Gee, it's almost as if there's a humongous area between hyper-traditionalism and getting plowed like an Iowa cornfield by every male in town until you're 40 and then dying alone and childless.
I mean, normal people have managed just fine over the past few millennia.

The road to Stepford is paved with crosses. |

These trad-wives are such good wives, they are trading in the trad-husbands for better models who can afford to give them a home and lifestyle they deserve. They need state-of-the-art kitchens and laundry rooms. They also need an upscale wardrobe from the best dress shops in town.
Why should they blow their feminine perfection on the typical loser.

She is trad-wife worth trading the old trad-wife in for. |

Some couples probably do work better with a submissive domestic partner. Some don’t. Some try it and get divorced Takes all types.
I wish people would just let each other be and give less intrusive fucks all the time.

I would never even consider the idea of marrying a woman who doesn't work outside the home.
