[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I really the only trad wife on DCUM [/quote] I quit my job to stay at home when our first baby was born and I continued to stay at home after our second was born. I have never considered myself to be a "trad wife". Trad wives are young women who marry and opt to stay home while their husbands work. They tidy the house, shop and cook for their man. They may or may not ever intend on having children. Personally, that kind of lifestyle would bore me to tears. It is not the same thing as being a stay at home parent. The SAHPs I know all worked before their children were born and many went back to work once their children were older - they were and are contributing to their households. "Trad wives" seem to just want a man to take care of them in exchange for having a cute wife at home who plays dress up and cooks and cleans. They often have very tight budgets, little in the way of job history and limited education. [/quote]
