'Tradwives' Adhering To Traditional Feminine Roles | The View

The whole trad thing seems to me to be nothing but influencers making money by selling glamorous fibs to people. Everytime I see a one of these trad videos, it is someone all dolled up with no kids doing none of the real house work and are just doing some hobbies that show they have way too much time on their hands. It's setting people up to failure because it's not an accurate depiction of the real thing.

I LOVED this conversation! I agree with every POV at the table! But, the my favorite was - Whoopi Goldberg: "I'm sorry 50 years ago was not a place I ever want to be back"

Sara is so great - completely undervalued on the show. “Feminism means having choices.” YES. Why people are always having to generalize and polarize is beyond me. WHO CARES what other people do. Do what’s right for you and your family and leave everyone else alone.

Whoopi Goldberg: "I'm sorry 50 years ago was not a place I ever want to be back" 💯

I grew up in the 50s and 60s when a man could raise a family on 1 paycheck. That reality , no longer exists!

Why must we always label everything? Do what you want in your relationship, and leave everyone else alone.

I loved being a stay at home wife/mother. It's a lot of work, but totally worth it!!!

5 years stay at home Dad of 3 here, with a wife who is an amazing Doctor that never wanted to be a stay at home wife. My Mom ran a daycare, so I've been taking care of kids since I was 12. I'm also a chef and nutritionists, so I was the perfect fit for child raising. Things are changing

Always have your own money ladies

I thought feminism was about women having choice? Some women want to be domestic. My mother is a very independent ambitious woman. My aunt, her sister, is a very domestic type who would be happy to be a housewife. Both are highly intelligent, very capable women and I love them both and never saw one or the other as "wrong".

I get a great sense of "life satisfaction" staying home, homeschooling, keeping house. BUT...when you realize you work your entire life with no savings, retirement, nothing to fall back on, and that your ability to eat, or have a roof over your head is dependent on a fickle man being attracted to you, or being in "love" with you, your whole perspective changes. One influencer said in order to be a trad wife, you already have to be rich, then you can do you w/o worrying about what will happen if that dream falls apart. ALWAYS HAVE YOUR OWN MONEY! As someone who lost everything and was forced to live with an abusive partner, you will regret being about to not leave when you need too. Money is power.

My mom was a wife and mom who didn't work outside the home (and we are black (that's for Whoopie) although she was a seamstress and later a babysitter. The wake-up call for me as a young girl that a woman should have her own money (or her own form of making money) was when my parents were arguing and my mom yelled "You are not going to leave me with all these children (4 of us)!!! She depended on him for everything!!! So having your own money means having your own way of making money for yourself so you don't have to rely on anyone. As Joy said, they could die or leave you, then what do you have? BTW, she was an amazing woman and my dad and us kids cherished the ground she walked on.

My son's daycare provider is SHOCKED by my husband being more involved in child care than I am some weeks. 😂.

Women have always worked outside the home. Staying at home has always been a privilege. Nurses, maids, factory workers, teachers, etc. why are these women always ignored in these conversations?

My poor Mom was a stay at home parent in the day when Women didn't have a lot of choice, because wages were so low. My Dad didn't respect the hard work she done. I hate to see Women lose the rights we have.

Staying at home as a mom is a lot of hard “UNPAID” work

Exactly Whoopi!!! Black women have always worked outside the home. It was illegal in some places for us to be a read wife

They forgot to mention the racist aspect of tradwives.

Id like to be a stay at home wife but a good friend of mine was after 30 years her husband divorced her & now she’s working at 77

I Loved seeing Sara Haines allowing Alyssa Farah Griffin to get into the conversation
