Yesss. This is the one I, thinking about. And she has her head cocked to the side as she does it. She’s always making homemade pasta or cereal or bread for her toddler. It’s weird.

I have toddlers and wonder what all hers are doing while she makes homemade pasta for hours. I’d rather be more present with my kids.

Her account is mostly satire. Hence the head tilt and closed eyes. She isn’t actually a tradwife.

there have been a lot of articles written and intvs done with her where she is vague about whether she is or its satire.

I am really excited for this whole trend to just jog on by. Git.

lol I find it inspirational, biscuits from scratch Sunday mornings, garden hacks to make your fruits/veggies grow faster, etc... I love it all....I wish I could live on the land like these people.

That’s absurd. I would NEVER trust a woman to make either cereal OR paper. I blame their husbands for this nonsense.

Only a man can make cereal. See Kellogg. It wasn't a woman doing that.

I admire their clarity - I wish they had been around when I was younger.

Topic’s fine; TikTok is for complete morons though.

There is something hypnotic about those apps where you get sucked in and nothing of any substance happens but it's like they numb your brain. I think the effect is actually disturbingly similar to drug use.

DCUM is a time suck and can be addictive, but I do have actual conversations on here and I am engaged with it. It's also almost entirely text base, and the clunky interface is actually a positive. I don't think my DCUM use is great, but I don't think it's damaging on the same level that obsessively scrolling TikTok or IG Stories is.

Have you actually ever been on TikTok? I think it’s the most interactive of them all. For example, I follow a dog trainer. He goes live several times a week and he shows you all the techniques he uses with his board and train dogs, in real time. You can actually watch him take a dog from the first few days it arrives through its final days with him (he does board and train). You can ask him questions in the chat and he will answer and also demonstrate with whatever dog he’s working with at the time. And there’s lots of conversation that happens with others in the live chat. As a first time dog owner I’m so glad I found his page, I have used several of his techniques and suggestions on my own dog, including teaching some fun tricks. He’s located in Atlanta, so I’d have no access to him otherwise. That’s just one example. I also follow a SAHM whose content is cooking. She goes live most Friday nights and cooks a meal. Her following is huge so it’s not as easy to interact with her because there’s too many people watching her lives and posting in the comments, but I’ve made several of her recipes. She’s funny and relatable because her husband and two young kids are often in the background carrying on in a very regular and normal way. None of that fake, perfect aesthetic, perfect kids, perfect home nonsense. Sure there’s a toxic and disturbing side of TikTok, just like any other social media site. Not sure why people think that’s the only content. I get why people don’t like social media in general and stay away from it, and for TikTok specifically I get why people are uncomfortable because of the China aspect of it, but some of these criticisms make no sense.

This ^^. They are suffocating under the weight of misogyny, but either don't know it or aren't willing to admit it and do something about it. And for some bizarre reason they respond by making homemade paper with ^%$*ing dried flowers or some $^%# in it.

Why do they all talk so slowly with that weird spacey voice like they are on drugs? It’s like they are not all there

What an odd thing to get so worked up about

I am not a tick tocker or #tradwife but I laughed the first time I read and started hearing about it. I love cooking from scratch, baking, my own bread, canning and preserving my own food. I have a lot in common with these women, but I’m not anywhere near the spectrum of being a #tradwife.

How are men to blame for this? This is such a stupid take.

She’s being silly. She’s making fun of tradwives while also being one of them—making fun of hersslf
