      Agreed. I once had a moment when Lucy was tiny and I, with sister-in-law & mother-in-law was making a Sunday roast at my house, husband & brother-in-law were putting up a shed & the kids were playing in the garden, when I thought, 'I'm having a tradlife moment & it's quite nice.'https://twitter.com/Intrinsic29/status/998928669518135296 …

      There's nothing wrong with wanting this life imo. The hate in the thread for someone having different *values* is remarkably/needlessly divisive imo. This life is fine, and less conservative lives are fine. Do what makes you thrive. https://twitter.com/mallorii_alysee/status/998322400054927360 …

      The problem was that if you have to keep doing it, it stops being nice. It gets repetitive & dull and requires far too much sociability. For me, anyway. But I hope if this lady gets her dream, she finds it is all that she hopes it will be.

      I did do the domestic goddess thing when I first moved into my house & enjoyed it. Painted flowers all over my kitchen and redecorated everywhere & kept everything all shiny & nice. Did lots of cooking. But it passed. Writing is the only thing I've consistently wanted to do ever

          My cousin is a natural domestic goddess & thrives on a life filled with kids' activities (and now a grandchild) and making her home clean, comfortable & beautiful. I don't understand it but then I don't have to. The problem comes in when people tell others what should fulfil them

          Yeah, and a lot of people never find that life that keeps them somewhat consistently happy and content. It's sad to see people attacked for maybe being lucky enough to find it.

          Yes, it's because it has been moralised by social conservatives. Women are supposed to want this when I suspect that few people are genuinely fulfilled purely by domestic stuff just as few are fulfilled purely by vocational stuff. Often its just better than work options.

          I admit I will be disappointed if my daughter is completely fulfilled by domestic stuff tho I won't tell her she shouldn't be if she genuinely is. But if she's doing it because the only work options she sees are even less inspiring, I'd try to help her find something fulfilling

          Doesn't matter how smart a person is or what their abilities are, there is usually something that is of interest. My cousin has a real eye for colour & style and does amazing things with her home & gets interior design magazines just to look at what other people do with theirs.

          I'd love for her to do some kind of course on this and find a job where she could advise people on home decorating at whatever level. She'd love it. She loves doing it for her friends. This sort of thing.
