Alright, ladies, let’s have a yarn—no judgment, no mocking, no TikTok takedowns. I’ve been watching this “trad wife” thing unfold, and honestly? I’ve got questions. Not insults. Not outrage. Just… honest-to-God curiosity from a bloke who thinks preheating an oven is sorcery.
Now first off—if being a homemaker is your thing, if packing lunches and folding towels with military precision lights your fire, good on you. There’s something truly beautiful about being devoted to your family, your partner and your home.
But what’s really wild is the backlash. Like somehow if a woman wants to bake a cake and love her partner, she’s betraying the entire feminist movement. What the fuck? Since when did choosing peace and pasta become controversial? And yeah, I’ve seen people snark: “You can’t be trad and modern.” But why the hell not?
“Is It a Vibe, a Rebellion, or Just Smart Living?”
I reckon part of this trad wife resurgence is women saying, “You know what? This ‘boss bitch burnout’ life isn’t for me”. Work till you drop, chase some bloke who calls you “bruh,” come home to Uber Eats and wine crying on a Wednesday—yeah, no thanks. Give me a roast dinner and a loyal husband who builds shelves and says “I got this” when the power goes out.
Some women genuinely find strength in the so-called “old ways.” And guess what? It doesn’t mean they’ve given up power. Maybe they’ve just stopped letting the world dictate to them what power’s supposed to look like.
“Can You Be Traditional and Independent?”
Here’s where the chat gets interesting. A lot of trad wives say, “I choose this. I’m not oppressed—I’m empowered because I want this role”. And if that’s true—snaps and respect. The confusion comes in when the branding gets mixed. Some of these pages go from “I love caring for my husband” to “any woman who wants a career is lost and damaged” in under 3 scrolls. Woah, slow down, Cheryl. That’s not submission—that’s shade.
If you’re gonna say “this works for me,” then awesome. But if you say “this is the only way to be a real woman,” expect a few people to chuck their stilettos at your head.
“The Real Question: Are You Happy?”
That’s all it comes down to. Not whether you’re trad or feminist or somewhere in between just this … are you fulfilled? Are you respected? Are you loved and seen and appreciated?
Because if you’re running a household with heart, humour, and hustle, and your man treats you like gold in return—you’re living the fucking dream. Hating on that probably just needs a hug or a casserole.
Final Thoughts
This isn't about telling women what to do. It’s about actually listening when they say what they want. And if that’s trad wife life with a twist of modern spice, then hell yeah—own it.
So tell me: Is the trad wife movement about peace, purpose, and old-school values—or just women saying “fuck this noise, I’m doing life my way”? I’m not here to argue. I’m here to learn… and maybe score a lasagna recipe.
Drop your thoughts below. But be kind, be cheeky, and be honest—like you’re chatting over a cuppa, not storming Parliament.

“I am so traditional it's not funny haha
I adore being a house wife, pending on the man of course because it's not something I am willing to do for any man but the right man 100%
For me to be at the peak of my feminine energy, he has to be the head of the house and masculine. Decisiveness goes along way no um and arrring just yes this is what I want this is what we are doing... I can have a say so but ideally he is leading example if I ask what would you like for dinner tonight? Or if I give you options and you respond I don't mind it's up to you... Definitely not for me if I wanted to choose what to make I wouldn't of asked you... I really expect leadership as well as partnership.
I am not really good for the woman movement to be honest because I do think it's gone to far but nothing against it happy for all the women choosing there own path.
Just me personally I want the traditional house wife and the male provider and leader of the house hold
Have you noticed now women are expected to do more now then ever...
Okay she does the kids, she does the house, she's expected to go 50/50, go to work and then at the end of the day has a partner waving his willy around wanting even more from her!?! After he has just watched her do all her duties as well as his responsibility?
It makes me so mad if he wants to do 50/50
But if a man said 50/50 to me i would say okay not a problem but it's not just 50/50 in bills it will be 50/50 in house work, cooking, doctor appointments, kids, school drop off n pick ups, parent teacher meetings 50/50 in everything.
But men think 50/50 is bills only and she does everything else still... So it really doesn't work 50/50 it turns out he's doing 10% she does 90%
But if a man says to me he will cover 100/100 of bills and I cover 100/100 house responsibility and the children responsibilities I would say yes as well but it also falls down to communication and this is a conversation that should be had straight off the bat of relationship of what your expectations are from the said relationship.
But to sum up 100% fan of tad wives :) x”
“I think it is about what ever makes you happy. I did the trad wife thing for over 10 years to support the career goals of another and it became very lonely and isolating... not to mention difficult to get back into the workforce when I couldn't function like that anymore. It never felt like a dream to me, even though I can make a great lasagne! ”
“Yeah agree woman should be able to do what ever they choose. If they are happy and staying true to themselves that’s real empowerment.”
“Such a refreshing way to talk about what can be a polarising topic. I love that the focus is on listening to what people actually want instead of forcing a narrative that one lifestyle is superior. At the end of the day, happiness and respect matter most. ”
“I agree. I think women should be able to do what they want .if they want to bake a cake and look after their kids and husband. Good for them if it makes them happy. If they want to stay single and travel the world, chasing their dreams good for them”
“It’s all about owning your choices, whether it’s a traditional path or something completely different. For me, it’s about empowerment and doing what feels right.”
“I appreciate this thoughtful perspective on the traditional wife movement—it offers a refreshing viewpoint! It's remarkable how a seemingly simple choice can ignite such a passionate debate. I fully agree that if someone finds fulfillment in being a homemaker and nurturing their partner, that should be celebrated. The essence of this discussion lies in personal choice and maintaining balance. The challenge emerges when a mindset of "one way is the right way" prevails. Many individuals, regardless of gender, are simply seeking what brings them joy and satisfaction, whether that’s in the kitchen or in their professional lives. Thank you for initiating this important and constructive conversation!”
“Living life on your own terms — that’s real power. Whether you choose a trad life or the modern hustle, whether you slip on heels or house slippers, if it’s your choice and it brings you peace and purpose, that’s what truly matters. This post gets it — and it’s a breath of fresh air.”
“You made some excellent points here. It shouldn’t be controversial to want peace and a happy home.”
“Trad wives may represent a nostalgic longing for simplicity and traditional roles, but it's essential to critically assess whether this lifestyle choice genuinely empowers women or merely reinforces outdated norms.”
