What is a trad woman?
A tradwife (short for traditional wife) is a woman who chooses to take on an ultra-traditional role in marriage, meaning she prepares dinner and looks pretty while her husband goes to work.
The trend is inspired by the idea of a housewife from the 1950s.
Many traditional women choose to dress in the clothing style popular during this period (think floral dresses and frumpy cardigans).
Furthermore, the values considered important to the traditions are similar to strict Christian values.
Tradwives argue that they are not forced into this way of life, and believe that their purpose is to be housewives.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @mckenna.mamaof3has clearly left many with their mouths open as it has quickly amassed 40,500 views.
But Mckenna’s clip left people completely divided: some were happy for her, others weren’t thrilled with her lifestyle.
One person said: “I’m actually jealous of this lifestyle. I always wanted to be a trad woman.”
Another added: “I’m so happy you’re living the life of your dreams.”
A third commented: “I think you are doing what is right and appropriate for your family. Ignore the haters.”
At the same time, someone else claimed, “I would never want a life like that.”
I have NO desire for a career

Meanwhile, someone else said: ‘It’s not anger, it’s concern. You have to plan for all eventualities. We all do.”
And when asked, “No career?”, Mckenna replied, “I’m raising the next one generation and creating a loving, welcoming home for my family.
“I have NO desire for a career.”
