Gen Z Women Are Sharing Their Views On The Viral "Tradwife" Phenomenon, And It's So, So Fascinating
Briefly

Female born in 2003 here, and love that younger women are FINALLY advocating for traditionalism! Growing up, the only options I was ever told was that you MUST go to school, get a couple of degrees, and put yourself into a career, but it never resonated with me, and I always received hate from peers whenever I said I didn't want to do that. I have now wasted several years of my life pursuing an education that made me miserable until I found my boyfriend who has a stable enough career so I can stay home, do the cleaning, laundry, dishes, cooking, caring for the dog, etc. I am happier than ever and can't wait for this to continue into marriage and children. I wish I knew this was an acceptable choice sooner instead of having people demean it as a life choice.
Something about it is comforting, I guess. I used to be a very passionate workaholic journalist, but I saw so much despair and pain and loss, and it ruined me and my mental health. It was awful, and I have so much respect for people who can bear that pain and share it with the world. The 'tradwife' trend almost reminds me to slow down, take in the little things, and get back to stuff I enjoy, like cooking, baking, gardening, and children.
I'm a Gen Z girl, and I think it's important to acknowledge that 'tradwife' influencers are, when it comes down to it, influencers. So, I believe that their way of life is greatly exaggerated when they put it on social media. That being said, I think if someone wants to be a traditional wife, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that; I support all women in whatever field they wanna work in, and if that field is being a traditional wife, homemaker, and mother, more power to them!
