Full-time-stay-at-home-parent is a Luxury that hardly anyone can afford.
Because women work, it raised the cost of many things
Don't use the School-Classroom-Volunteer straw man-woman argument on me, either. I was a fixture at my kids' K-12, all the way through grade 12. I worked nights as many years as I could, allowing time for all sorts of volunteer time at the schools. When I had to return to dayshift, my partner and I burned up all our vacation days, one-day-at-a-time, at the schools. Didn't have a fancy-Yuppie-family vacation for over a decade.
My neighborhood is full of stay at home wives. The wives did have careers in their 20s, but now are are at home mom in the 30s and on. Upper middle class.
Now it's no longer a real choice: most families need 2 incomes, and that's that.
There are lots of savings to be had with a stay at home parent
Daycare $800 -1200
work commute $200
Eat in vs out $500
lower tax bracket
No missing work for sick kid
Fix vs throw away I.e. clothing
F*ck. My family lives in The Ghetto, where Mr. and Mrs. Yuppie would never go to. We drive Old Beaters to the same Silicon Valley work venues these High People come to in their European Sedans. The whole damn time, we could've lived on one salary. We did sometimes, when one of us was between jobs due to layoffs. We both paid into social security, retirement, etc., for the duration.
Why do you continue to live like that or for that matter , live in the Bay area.....this is a serious question...
The whole women's lib, go be a lawyer or doctor is antithetical to a women's true nature in my opinion.
Childcare is abundant and cheap when 80% of the women on your block had kids of their own and were stay-at-home moms.
True women's lib is not both parents working and the kids sent to day care, but would instead be an equal number of stay at home dads and stay at home moms. However, few women (although there are some) would like a stay at home husband.
Grandparents can look after kids...provided they are not shipped off to elderhouse to die.
I doubt many 27 year old women want to live with parents, theirs or the in-laws
Multigen is great and efficient, but I doubt many 27 year old women want to live with parents, theirs or the in-laws
Edit: in extended family situation women have choice of working or staying at home.
Fastest way to get divorced is to become a stay at home dad.
The Tradwife Craze Is About Envy
tradwifes aren't about patriarchy, white supremacy, sexual fetishism, or indoctrination — it's about women staying home, a luxury most can't afford
In recent weeks there has been an explosion of articles covering the “tradwife” trend on TikTok, most of them focused on Estee Williams, a TikToker and former meteorology student. Williams embraces a forward-facing 50s housewife aesthetic, but behind it, a brand-building instinct only a woman who grew up on social media could possess. Her presentation is also more secular than some of her contemporaries. But the tradwife, as we know her online today, did not originate with Estee Williams, or on TikTok, or in the Book of Genesis either. God may have created Eve from Adam’s rib, but 4chan created the tradwife from Wojack in 2019 — a blond woman in a blue floral dress. The tradwife meme far preceded the recent surge in tradwife content on TikTok, which seems to have taken off around 2022.
The whole women's lib, go be a lawyer or doctor is antithetical to a women's true nature in my opinion.
And right on cue, such women are accused of supporting Nazis and racists, because the Left these days literally has no other way of interacting except to accuse everyone who disagrees with them of being Nazis and racists.
Very good video. There is an almost hypnotic feminine appeal to a chaste, untattoed, and unpierced woman who enjoys traditional family life.
