What do you think is the biggest misconception of being a trad?

Oo this is a good question!

I think the biggest misconception is that we don’t have voices/opinions. I have tons of opinions and thoughts that I share with my husband and if he’s doing something I disagree with, I vocalize it, we talk about it, and then we move forward. Yes- my husband has final say most of the time, but he is always open to hearing me and coming to a decision together.

Me: I want to be a stay at home wife/mom because of my husband!!! I love having the opportunity to serve him as often as possible and makes his life easier whenever I can by taking care of the kids and our home

I've been thinking a bit about what it means to be a homemaker lately. And I think about things my mom did when I was a kid. She decorated the house for different seasons and occasions. She baked cookies and banana bread and cake for our birthdays. She made beef stew and barbecued chicken. When we were little we would set up leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's day and she would hide Easter eggs and make us Valentine's baskets. Homemakers are memory makers. They are the ones who build your sense of belonging, of safety, of love and comfort. I started thinking about this when I was reading A Little Life. Though their life is complicated, Jude becomes a homemaker. I don't think it matters if you work or if you don't have kids-- homemakers are people who make homes. My mom was a single parent and she worked full time and attended night classes when she was pursuing a degree. And she created a home for her children.
