In recent years, some of the most vocal tradwives have left their husbands, renounced their religious faith and promoted financial independence. What is behind this sudden and seismic shift?
Well kids who’s parents interact with them more do better than kids who don’t receive as much attention. This is well known and consistently proven. But that is a very different statement to ‘one parent staying home and one earning is optimal’. The evidence suggests more access to both parents for children is optimal. Of course with the way things are economically few parents get to choose how much time they spend with their kids.
But the trad wives thing isn’t solely about one parent staying home; it’s also about the wife’s complete submission to her husband and all the other toxic ideas that flow from that. I can assure you that research clearly shows that environments where one parent is deeply controlling of the other is not good for children’s development.
But no you want to twist studies into meaning things they don’t then quietly append an entire ideology into them and then claim others are posting propaganda.
