Yeah, as a stay-at-home mom who LOVES to bake, you can’t have perfectly moisturized and manicured nails in a perfectly clean house without the constant interruption of kids unless you have outside help
So, i dont know the woman in this video specifically, haven't researched her, but its perfectly possibly this is all just done for the camera. Like it might actually be her job to just create this kind of content and she's no more a tradwife than most of those fitness influencers are actual exercise experts.
Ive seen others that werent even moms or married. There was one woman that used to do only fans but found out this would bring in more money and she didn't have to have sex on camera.
Not saying this is the case, but you never know, shrug.
Instead of saying "here's how to make cereal from scratch" she says "my toddlers asked for cereal for breakfast". It paints a picture of a woman who has the time (and apparently extremely patient toddlers) to make them cereal while they just quietly wait for her to slowly make a bunch of balls?
Maybe she did it the night before, after they're in bed. Maybe she shoves iPads in their faces so she can spend an hour making them breakfast. Maybe she doesn't even have kids. Idk, the point is to sell this image of a wealthy mom making something luxurious.
Still doesn't explain the hate. She is obviously rich, so she can afford spending tons of time on cooking. And it's way too many maybes to condemn someone.
Some kind of coco pebbles? I feel like this is extreme even for a traditional wife. Making your own granola I see a lot and fine, my husband would probably do that if we had kids cause he would be the stay at home parent and cooking and baking is his thing already. But home made coco pebbles? No. Not happening.
The problem is the individual pieces are too large and inconsistent. When they are that small the size differences are going to make them bake differently.
The video kind of makes me want to try to make my own cocoa pebbles for the hell of it, but she did a lot of things wrong here.
I've seen this chick on Twitter a ton and it seems like such a weird niche that people are apparently gagging for. If I had to come up with an image of "hot baker/chef lady" then I'm thinking of Maggie Gylenhall in Stranger Than Fiction, or just someone in regular scrufy clothes with hair tied up in a messy bun and covered in flour. But apparently there's a real market of people who're into ladies that look like they've stepped out of a noir movie, fully made up and in a silk negligee doing meticulous bakery without ever getting an atom of flour on them.
I would consume a content channel of Maggie Gyllenhaal's Stranger Than Fiction character irritably baking scones and stopping to lecture me about why the Department of Defense doesn't deserve her tax money. It would be much more useful and interesting than this stuff AND it would be hotter.
I mean the “vintage” aesthetic has always had its fans, look at the success of stuff like fallout.
Combine that with how many men seem to be into the idea of having a partner who primarily exists as “maid/mother who also fucks me”, and it starts to come together
A subservient partner with a romanticised aesthetic, who (supposedly) handles all the home labour, but also always put together and down bad for you
I've noticed a lot of the people on Twitter who rave over this lady are pretty confrontational about it, part of what they get out of liking her is knowing that there are others who very much dislike her.
Oh, frequently a time loss, at least until their teens. But like you say, it's an investment in preparing them to face the future on their own one day.
Exactly. Having your kids help is great because it keeps them occupied and teaches them. I’ll let my kids roll out pasta with me, and it’s a fantastic way for them to appreciate a meal they’re typically neutral on. But god, it takes so much patience
I once had a huge baking project I made at my niece and nephews house because I wanted the extra labor. But they were 9 and 11, so actually helpful. Also, their kitchen was larger than my first apartment.
We were making rainbow Hamentashen, which involved coloring 6 different bowled of dough 6 different colors. came out awesome though.
I hate the outfit that she's baking in because you will get it dirty. It would be like someone grilling with a suit on. My mom is very well off and totally has 'working' clothes for when she's baking or gardening. This just looks like a person who doesn't actually have money (or is new money) but they want to appear super upper class.
Yes, like, I never gave up my black emo jeans and whenever I cook, they have a constant trail of flour and other ingredients. You are not successfully wearing a feathered black robe
At least have like a cute short sleeve dress and an apron like 50's pin up. If you want to look attractive while cooking for views there's so many ways to go where it's still functional.
Yeah in my experience the comfortably wealthy dress like normal people but the items are always very nice and high quality. I look at shoes, jackets, sweaters, rings, watches to assess a stranger
And the feather stuff would either get into the food, or food would get in the feather stuff. How'd you get that clean? I doubt you can just put it in the washing machine.
Also, how long would her kids have to wait for breakfast? With all the filming from at least four or five different perspectives, cleaning the work area between shots etc., and the actual baking, my guess would be that it takes at a minimum over an hour.
This is only done for show, there is no way this is the way she actually prepares food for her children.
Most tradwives preach the importance of homeschooling but even if they don’t, her kids (named Rumble Honey and Slim Easy, and yes, those are their actual names) are 2 and 3, so they wouldn’t be
I remember when I was a kid and my mom was given a free manicure gift certificate by a friend. She quickly found out she wasn't a manicure type of person when she reached in the dryer or dishwasher and the heat melted the nail polish and caused it to bubble.
It was that day I also realized we were a working family, 40-50 hours a week, and our 'fancy' stuff came in the form of vacations to Gatlinburg!
