Many of the trad wife influencers are Mormon, so this is spot on.
And the key word is "wealthy families"
I was just thinking that a lot of the Mormons I know actually lived off government assistance when they were first married. They had families and very little income while finishing school. They qualified for food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, etc.
Not quite the same, but there is a lot of welfare fraud among the FLDS segment of the Mormon community. Plural wives will claim to be single mothers for the benefits.

The Great Recession ate my career field, pay scales sank through the floor, we had two little kids, and I decided to stay home with husband's urging and blessing. He makes enough to support us. I have a great life. Maybe I just don't care about money, or my ego. Our kids are teen and young adult, and are doing very well. Tradwife? It's just life, OP. People have to make a decision, and sometimes their decision isn't the same as yours. Live and let live, you know? I don't understand why a woman would have kids not to spend much time with them, and claim that the best example she is setting is to show them how to make money. I'd rather show my kids something else, I guess. I remember going to grade school events during the school day and having teachers ask in a whisper if I would be willing to look at the project of the classmate whose parents weren't there. I'll never forget the grade school girl who burst into tears as I complimented her work. She said through sobs, "I want my mom". She didn't say, "My mom can't be here because she's showing me how to make money at a job." I just said I know and I'm sure she's proud of you. What else can you say. My heart broke for her. I bet her mother never knew that happened, and assumed she was being a great example.
You're not a tradwife, you are a just a regular old SAHM.
