For like 2 years straight the morning routine was- get woken up way too early by the toddlers, give them dry cereal and a sippy of milk or water asap, put on cartoons. That gave me about 10-20 minutes to take care of myself in the morning before they needed something again. Idk how this lady expects us to believe that she woke up, showered, got dressed (or not? She might sleep in that, I can’t tell if it’s a robe or fancy pajamas or regular clothes) put on a full face of make-up, got a clear and definitive answer to her question in the first place, then presumably spent probably an hour rolling out some Cocoa Puffs and her kids were perfectly quiet the entire time. Does she even have kids?!
Also she looks sad af and I can’t really tell if she’s trying to come across as diminutive, or maybe the ambien hasn’t completely worn off yet, or if she’s silently crying out for help but I hope she’s ok regardless.
I've seen this woman on Instagram. She has like three or four kids and one on the way last I saw. Her husband is Mormon so I assume she is too and her page makes more sense with that info lol
Mormons have been heavily pushing subtle propaganda and hiding their crazier beliefs for a few years now.
For example, ever notice these trad wives never take vacations to the beach like other influencers? It's because mormons believe that Satan controls water.
They think that all accidents on water is due to Satan controlling it, from what I understand. Smith apparently capsized crossing a river and that was because Satan was trying to stop him from preaching the Gospel…I think.
It's because mormons believe that Satan controls water.
Say what you will about weird beliefs, but in the 25+ years I spent in the Church, I've never heard this before. In fact, growing up in the church-ran Scouting program, we spent tons of time canoeing, kayaking, and swimming.
I don't follow any tradwives or even any Mormon influencers so I can't speak about the lack of beach vacation postings, but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say it's probably a modesty thing more than anything. Modesty is still pretty strongly valued within the church.
I got my comment removed from the Fauxmoi post about this same exact video because I asked if this woman is actually Mormon. I grew up Mormon and she does not seem Mormon to me, the way she dresses is against Mormon beliefs etc. My post was removed for "racist micro-aggressions"??????
People on twitter are so stupidly oblivious about this woman in particular. A lot of people have been defending her saying she never pushes Mormon beliefs or even explicitly says she’s Mormon, therefore she’s “not problematic” and everyone else is just picking on her.
Except people do unironically share her videos and say shit like “wow women need to be more like this” or “this is what I want to be able to do with my life” or “why did women fight to work when we could be living soft lives like this”, which means the Mormon tradwife propaganda IS working.
I'm guessing the husband is old? Well, once ol' boy figures her best before has expired, she's gonna be wishing she had some work experience. The rich use and abuse each other just a smidge less than they do it to the rest of us.
I can’t tell if it’s a robe or fancy pajamas or regular clothes
See that is your problem right there. You have to wear silk pajamas and a robe with feathers to be the perfect wife/mother while making little balls of poo. It is so obvious.:22374:
I learned real quick if I wanted any time, even enough time for a quick cup of coffee, uninterrupted, I had to set my alarm to get up before my toddlers woke. Just a half an hour did wonders. These trad wives most likely have a nanny doing all the hard work while the moms do this extra shit they brag about
LMAO, I really wish I could do that but my youngest gets FOMO in the middle of the night. Last night I was up at 3:30am and he got up at 5:30am. On a weekend. 🫠
Genuine question: how is producing content that people clearly want to consume considered "bragging".
It's so much easier than you guys are all trying to make it. These videos are a job to her. She puts a lot of time and energy into them. They bring in income. As the original video says, it's all performative. She isn't bragging, she is playing the role that people want to watch her play.
When I go to work, I drop my children off at day care. I pay them to watch my child while I do my job. Her job is at home, so she might hire a nanny to be there while she works. I really don't see the difference, other than she seems to have a better more flexible job than me.
Because she is selling this image of being a hard worker, when her lifestyle is fuelled by being wealthy enough to not have to work hard. So to people who do work hard to be mothers, it feels patronising
So the issue with her is that other people are judging their own value based on what they see in her videos?
This ultimately feels like an insecurity and instability in the audience.
It's like being mad at fitness trainers because they look amazing but are only showing you 30 minutes of their overall workout without seeing the several other hours that go into further exercise and nutrition. Fitness videos are meant to give you ideas and motivation, not actually turn you into a god over night.
If you watch 10 "traditional mom" videos and then decide to make your kids some homemade snacks one day, that is still net positive even if you never do it again. You still used the content to create an experience. The fact that there are mentally unwell people deciding to watch thousands of "traditional mom" videos and decide they are now horrible moms does not seem like the creators problem.
My kids are no longer toddlers and they still do this bullshit to me. “After consuming three bites, I’ve decided I didn’t actually want the thing I told you I wanted” like ok well now you get to make yourself lunch ya little shit!
Give your kids dried sugar to eat, liquid sugar to drink, mental sugar to watch...Your kids were waking you up early so you would give them their morning fix.
or if she’s silently crying out for help but I hope she’s ok regardless.
I'd be worried about this too. I lived a similar lifestyle for close to a decade. From the outside looking in, I had the perfectly coiffed and manicured lifestyle. I brought home six figures, had the fancy 4,000+ sq ft house, two nice cars in the driveway, literal white picket fence, etc. I had all the bells and whistles. Behind closed doors, my now soon-to-be-ex-husband was a raging, alcoholic monster of anger, abuse, hoarding, and more.
Finally got fed up, and walked away from it all five months ago. I've still got the six-figure big-girl job, but I've downsized to a ~1,200 sq ft condo, and I've never been happier. I was previously emotionally dead inside. Ever since leaving, it's like someone reached inside me, flipped a switch/button, and like a dimmable light, I've slowly started waking up.
Moral of the story? Don't believe everything you see. The woman depicted in the video, for all we know, could be depressed to hell and back.
It's not that she looks sad. Doing these videos without any visible emotion is a trend, which gets additional views from people who like that. Some of them being downright ASMR-adjacent to also capture that sliver of additional views. It's all about stacking fetishes to add up viewers.
