can 2024 be the year we stop calling stay-at-home moms stupid for being ‘financially dependent’ and risking being trapped in abusive relationships, and instead start addressing why there are no social safety nets in place for people who choose to leave the workforce to raise their children

I work a lot.

I could be your housewife instead. Doing the household - your food, your laundry, keeping your house clean. You'd be able to fuck my pussy whenever you want. Fill me up, impregnate me. Fuck me while I am pregnant and breed me again.

I'd still work, but I'd prefer the work of a housewife.

“You want a dystopian future for all women!”

Firstly, I already know and have expressed that my lifestyle choices are not right for every woman and not every woman is right for the lifestyle I’m choosing.

What is so dystopian about the following?

A loving couple getting married

A safe home

Garden-fresh food

A family unit with strong bonds

Well-educated and happy children

A knowledgeable appreciation of nature

A sense of community

National pride

Escaping “the grind”

[awholevibex]

a home is more than a place where you sleep.

it’s the environment where you raise your kids and provide them core memories that will shape who they are.

Financial abuse can happen to any of us -getting married to men who either want us to be stay at home mom's/partner's to them and don't want us 'to work/maintain work skills/gain new skills' because they are is a huge red flag... it's sincerely such a slippery slope, and I partly blame the Trad Wives romanticizing being a SAHM/someone who stays at home to 'take care of their man,' online because your entire identity shouldn't revolve around this and being a parent is A LOT of work. And I'm not saying marriage or being a parent is bad -but getting married without a prenup and having children without having security outside of your husband's work can be dangerous and lead to abusive situations (and I mean this in no way to shame anyone who ends up in a situation like hers -but please, listen to women's stories and stories like hers before even considering marriage and having kids because there are so horrifying and heartbreaking one's out there and it's something I do believe we need to be aware of). Because it's all men until it's no men in so many instances.

The amount of unequal gendered divisions of labour going on here as well, on top of her unpaid work in the home -and in CREATING their home... I just, I hope the best for this woman and her kids and every woman like her. And sincerely, fuck heteropatriarchal norms.

The original video is about 6 minutes long, but if you have time to tune in to listen to her story, it doesn't feel long. Some of the things she mentioned that caught my attention was that her ex-husband would give her envelopes of CASH to go grocery shopping, she had no banking account, and he has since only paid alimony ONCE since their divorce, and when she did actually go to a job interview -the man LAUGHED at her not not having any 'real experience' and belittled her for being a SAHM. In the video she says she didn't how ill will towards him but how utterly humiliating to be treated like this. I hope her ex-husband befalls so much misery.

I knew that I would lose myself when I became a mother.

I had no idea how liberating it would be.

Like shedding an old skin.

I will always hold that older version of myself when she needs me,

but I’m not looking to “go back to my old life”

what was there?

For me, not a whole lot.

The whole world has opened up to immense possibilities.

Edit: spelling correction. Thank you @paperandcloth for pointing it out 🙏 #sleepdeprived

I have the ambition to marry the man I love, make our house a home, keep the homestead bountiful, and homeschool our children.
