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 …

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.
