Are Trad Wives Happier Than You?

Are trad wives happier than the rest of us? So many of the women I know who are bad-ass boss babes struggling to juggle it all—career, relevance, fulfillment, being a good mother, being good at work, being OK at being a wife—are really unhappy and anxious. I don’t believe in being submissive to your husband and I don’t particularly want to stay home and be the sole caregiver for my children and the only one taking care of my house. But I have been hearing from many traditional wives who say THEY LOVE THEIR CHOICE. They are happy and in fact they believe their decision to opt out of the system where women work their asses off outside of the home IS RADICAL. Today we will be hearing from some of these women in their own words.
