"There are many things that you could call me, but a liar is not one of them. Last year, I wrote in this very column that I would make a terrible tradwife. One major reason behind that statement was my lack of homemaking skills, but at the time I was living with a best friend. Now, it's coming up on 365 days of sharing a home with my boyfriend, and I can confirm I was right - I would make a useless housewife."
"In fact, he has put me to shame. I'm not here to brag about how I hit the jackpot (even though I recognise I did) but I do have to give credit where credit is due. My boyfriend does most of the upkeep for our little apartment. He vacuums, he keeps up with the laundry (especially the rotation of the dehumidifier which I constantly switch off due to the noise) and he ensures that our plants stay alive."
She states that she would make a terrible tradwife due to lack of homemaking skills. She had previously lived with a best friend and now has spent nearly a year living with her boyfriend, which confirmed her assessment. Her boyfriend carries out most apartment upkeep including vacuuming, laundry, rotating the dehumidifier despite its noise, and keeping the plants alive. She acknowledges feeling lucky in the relationship but emphasizes giving credit for the domestic labor he provides. She admits to being a poor housewife and contrasts her shortcomings with his regular household contributions.
