Currently working on that. I figure there will be some changes when it happens.

Screw chancing anything of wealth that I earned to be granted by a court to anyone else but me.


This is a fine stance.

It's about as antithetical to the concept of marriage as one can get, but you can have your opinion.

You don't understand marriage.

It’s not a “belief”, just a way of life. And arguably much better.

My wife is a doctor. I wouldn’t do it again

never heard of this term.

That said, we have both worked since before we got married. I can't imagine having to live these days on just 1 salary.

Its tough, and I'm a high earner for my age.

You just accept that you wont be having any play money for quite a few years. I wouldn't trade having my wife at home for more play money though.

You find a way to make it work, hope you don't get laid off at a bad time, and pray alot.

43 downvotes so far from feminists who can’t bear to see that some women enjoy being wives and mothers. F them.

I would bet downvoters are effeminate incels. The simps create entitled women.

I dont blame the women, Simps are too easy of a mark.

The fact this has a name is bizarre.

My wife has a part time job to kill time and make some "shopping" money when the kids are in school, but she's the school drop off / pick up, feed the kids, go grocery shopping parent. I'm the makes enough money for our lifestyle and cooks dinner parent.

that's bout how we run.

I do most of the cookin b/c I'm a better cook. Wife does most of the cleanin b/c fuggdatsid

I do all finances, etc. too.

quicker to get to retirement to have us both working. if I have a year of selling absolutely nothing, my wife's salary beats mine. but I've doubled hers a few years.

she just got promoted to head receptionist though, so she's a baller now

Coined by internet influencers who are trying to market something.

Otherwise, "stay at home mom" works just fine.

Not really. This is like straight up churning your own butter on your farm with your 6 kids milking the goats stuff.

It harkens back to Little House on the Prarie or the Waltons.

It’s a whole nother level than soccer moms in a Honda Odyssey.

I’d like to find a woman to marry and stay at home with the kids but my sister told me not to use the term “trad wife” on dates. Haha.

Yep. My wife has two degrees in the medical field but we made the decision for her to stay home and homeschool our 4 kids. She had to talk me into it but now I wouldn't have it any other way.

You don't have to tell me. One of my stepsons and his wife live in a small town in rural Kansas. He's a DA for 3 rural Kansas counties.

They have a pig, a goat, a turkey, a bunch of chickens, a cat, a couple of dogs, and 4 kids with another one due in March.

Their house is filthy. I seriously hope they won't be reported to DHS. He's a DA with further political ambitions.

They eat nothing but fast food. There is not an empty tabletop due to all the laundry that is piled up. The house smells like dog piss.

But the wife is on social media 24 x 7 posting about how wonderful their life is.

My wife refuses to spend the night there.

No.

Don’t want a wife that thinks they’re on full scholarship.
