My husband gives me $100 per week to be his housewife — feminists hate my ‘traditional’ lifestyle
She wouldn’t trad places with anyone.
A woman who quit her gig to become a traditional or “trad” wife says her husband pays her around $100 per week to cook and clean for him. She’s even hit back at feminists who’ve accused her of just wanting a sugar daddy, claiming that they’d be happier if they followed suit.
“My husband employs me to take care of the home,” Alyssa “Ally” Dee, 28, told news channel Truly. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had.”
“I encourage other women to pursue the same dynamic for their future financial success,” urged the homemaker, who regularly documents trad wife-style to her over 182,000 YouTube subscribers.
Little did the independent gal know at the time, that she’d put her career aspirations on the backburner in favor of a more domestic lifestyle.
After they got engaged, Dee couldn’t help but feel her beau wanted “a little bit more attention to the house, to the home and also to himself.”
“I had a sneaking suspicion that it might benefit our relationship if I stayed home,” said the blossoming house spouse, who has now been with Tom for two-and-a-half years now and is pregnant with their first child.
So she floated the idea of going from the trades to trad.
Her other half, was initially hesitant about Dee taking on a more domestic role, stating: “I honestly thought I wanted a physicist triathlete, that was my mindset.”
Despite his reservations, Tom decided to give this 1950s-style romance a go.
Under the arrangement, the professional homemaker is paid around $100 a week so she can treat herself to “snacks and coffee” along with the occasional shopping excursion, the Daily Mail reported. For reference, this equates to around a third of the federally mandated minimum wage.
“We got rid of all her credit cards, and we opened up new credit cards under my account and so now I can see all of her purchases,” Tom explained. “She really doesn’t ask for a whole lot of stuff that she doesn’t need, she’s pretty financially disciplined.”
Tom has been over the moon over the traditional agreement, which he felt allowed him to leave a more stress-free, focused life.
“Until I got into a relationship with Ally I didn’t even know how wonderful having a traditional relationship where there were gender separations was,” he gushed. “I provide a home, protection, and provision. What I ask for in return is support and a clean house so that I can go out into the world and focus on the external world.”
Quitting her job has also proved a boon for Dee, who described, “I earn more now, married, than I did when I was in the military and it’s the best job I’ve ever had.”
“I would probably be considered on his bankroll, he pays for my living, and there’s a health insurance plan,” added the trad wife, who said this remote employment opportunity is far superior to a regular nine-to-five gig.
“The alternative is going to an actual job with an actual boss,” she declared. “Keep in mind that’s a man that doesn’t care about you.”
Dee added, “He would fire you tomorrow, my husband is not going to fire me tomorrow.”
Her career 180 has put her in the firing line of feminists, who have called her lazy and accused her of being a garden variety “gold digger” under the guise of a more “respected” pursuit.
“There are feminists on Reddit who hate me, most of which are single, over the age of 30,” she explained. “I am just of the opinion that feminism was completely unnecessary and that it’s a female supremacy movement.”
As for the gold digger accusations, Tom declared: “‘She asked for $100 a week, what kind of gold digger wants that?”
Fortunately, Dee claims that also receives plenty of “positive comments from women who feel like they’ve finally been seen.”
The trad wife insisted that she ultimately wants “women to know that they have other options out there.”
“I think most modern relationships aren’t happy, men act like women, women act like men, and when they get together they have a really unbalanced dynamic,” she said.
Other trad wives, meanwhile, consider their lifestyle a nice respite from the “woke” ideology that they claim has taken over Western society.
“I think a lot of women are looking for this lifestyle,” California homemaker Gretchen Adler, 38, told The Post in September. “They want to take back their homes. They want to get out of the fast-paced lifestyle of the job environment, the boss babe mentality, and they just want to be home.”
