In a social media post, the influencer gave her followers a glimpse into a typical day in her life, as she filmed herself in the kitchen preparing dinner for her partner.

She said, “I quit my job to be a stay-at-home girlfriend and as a stay-at-home girlfriend, I have to prepare all the meals for my boyfriend.”

Patty shared that she decided to cook a pasta dish, which she made from scratch.

Patty gathered her ingredients and made the dough, which she placed in a plastic bag.

She added: “Later I came back to finish the pasta but I came back finished because my boyfriend demanded that I finish so I wouldn’t look like a homeless person in the house.”

Patty finished preparing her partner’s meal – Fettuccine Alfredo – and continued, “I really hope my boyfriend likes this recipe so I can continue doing this full time because I don’t want to work anymore.”

But the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @pattyjeannhas clearly caused a lot of surprise, because the video has already been viewed no less than 417,400 times.

Social media users were stunned by Patty’s claims, with many calling it “crazy” that she would want to live such a lifestyle.

Someone said: “Required? How desperate of you… Go to work, do something for your life.

“He will dump you and you have no work experience, only cooking experience for your boyfriend.”

A second added: “You are his maid!!”

A third commented: “Nobody wants anything from me.”

What is a traditional woman?

A trad wife (short for traditional wife) is a woman who chooses to take on an ultra-traditional role in marriage. This means making dinner and looking pretty while her husband is at work.

The trend is inspired by the image of the housewife from the 1950s.

Many traditional wives choose to dress in the style of clothing popular at the time (think floral dresses and slouchy cardigans).

Moreover, the values ​​that traditional women consider important resemble strictly Christian values.

Traditional wives believed that they were not forced to live this way and that their purpose was to be a housewife.

The trend, which has gained traction on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, glorifies a bygone era and pays little attention to the economic challenges facing families and mothers today.

While another commented: “This isn’t 1960.”

But in a follow-up clip, the beautiful brunette responded to the internet trolls and explained the facts about her life as a housewife.

The content creator explained: “My boyfriend doesn’t actually ‘require’ me to do anything. The word ‘require’ is used in satire.

“The day I came home and said I wanted to quit, he was actually one of the most supportive and loving people who told me I didn’t even have to work, so now I’m really a housewife.”
