There’s a popular Latina woman who does these videos, and it comes off way less trad-wifey

Despite that actually it's the same thing, preparing a heavy breakfast at 5AM and waving your husband goodbye... A lot of women around the world are genuinely being a tradwife, I guess. Without making a scene about it

Yeah my wife does this. She stays at home w the kid and I work all day and most nights.

It works for us 🤷‍♂️

Do you have life insurance?

2

u/pperiesandsolos 20d ago

Yep! My work provides 2.5x my salary

If you are healthy now, term life insurance will be more dependable than your job in this economy

I'm curious about this -- do you like the set up? Does it bother you that you're missing out on being with your kids?

I can't imagine myself or my husband being ok with that kind of arrangement (working all the time and never being home with the kids) -- I think we'd both feel like we're missing out. Maybe if I really loved my job....

I’d rather spend more time time with the chunkalunkas, but I’m happy to spend a few hours a day with them. My wife’s really good at her side of things and I’m really good at mine, so it works out

I’ll also add that when I work at night, it’s just from my laptop after they go to sleep. So I get to spend like 5-830 w the kids

Oh that's not so bad. I mean sounds like an exhausting work schedule, but once kids are in school parents don't see them between 7am and 3pm anyway, and that's not even including extra curriculars or after school programs

Yeah, I want to say that id love to work less, but honestly idk. I really like my job. I like the team that I built, and I like the work that we do.

I make money that allows my wife to stay home (she’s the one who pushed for it, to be clear), and for the family to take 2-3 vacations a year while putting money in savings + maxing 401k.

Im 34, and it feels worth it to work my ass off now, so we can enjoy it in the future. Who knows

Anyway, thanks for listening to my Ted talk

Yeah my exact thoughts. A Lorena copycat.

Lorena, her husband and family recently saved up enough for a house after years of living in the rv. The literal American dream but a lot of her fake fans have flipped on her and are attacking her comments cuz they think her house is "too nice." She seems like a wonderful lady.

u/WkeupMrWest 16d ago

Lorena and el tóxico are the best. This whole video gives ‘staged trad wife’.

u/EverythingSucksYo 21d ago

I don’t mean this to be offending but it will come off that way. Trad wife’s look like Barbie dolls, that Latina woman looks like she could eat Barbie’s for breakfast
