Speaker 1 (00:01):
Robin and Kid now with Correos the podcast we're talking
about trad Well, it's trad wives is what's trending on TikTok,
but trad partners, which is traditional. So this is where
the bloke goes off to work earns all the money
and his wife stays at home and cooks and cleans
and takes after the children in a luntshell. I think
(00:22):
it's also come off the fact that it was surprising
to me that on Maths there were five people who
wanted to live the trad existence Elliott, Lauren, Clint Ryan,
and Jackie. A bit. Jackie wanted the bloke to be that,
but she then also is a lawyer and wanted to
make her own money, So kind of a bit odd.
But TikTok it is full on trending at the moment,
(00:44):
and there are three sort of really big influences. Hannah
Nilman who has seven point two million followers on TikTok,
Esther Williams who has one hundred and ninety four thousand,
and then Nara Smith she has seven point seven million
followers on TikTok and she is a traditional drad wife.
Now what you need to know about her is that.
(01:06):
In all of the videos and stuff where she talks
about being a drad wife, she's usually wearing couture or
ball gowns because she wants to totally like be the
most the best version of herself for her partner and
children have a.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Listen to much.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
She also whispers like she's reading something sexual wipes as well.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Husband has been loving snackers bars, and when he was
craving one today, I just decided to make him a
batch myself. When my toddlers asked me free candy this morning,
specifically the pigeon apple ring gummies, I decided to just
make them some. Started by blanching some peaches. You know
those notes where you just want a little snack before
you go to bed, But there was one of those
(01:46):
notes for me, So I decided to make some potato chips.
Started by slicing my potatoes very thin and then putting
them in some ice water.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
How do you make yourself a late night snack when
you feel over? There's going to take hours? Is the word?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
You said?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You are not interested in a trade partner at all?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Well, so trade partner is don't work? Yeah, she works?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
No, but not working? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not any money.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
How well, she's got seven millions.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Okay, it's actually because we say that, we say that.
It's a really good point because this whole idea that
they're being traditional. But she's spending hours, filming, editing, all
those things. She's actually doing a job and probably earning
more money than her husband.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, but doing it by saying she's not doing.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It and then making snickers.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I ask your question.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's true. Actually, I hadn't thought.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's probably why it's becoming a thing, because you can
make a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, talking about it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Would you want a trade partner in your life?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
No? No, because I'm so used to the way it is.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I guess that's not the answer, though. Would you want
like completely different if money was no object and you
could have a trad partner? Is that what you'd want?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Could I be the trad Well that means you.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Want to be the wife and stay at home in
this scenario.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, but but even no, I not you wouldn't like it.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I agree to that with you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I don't think you would.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I've never thought about it either, But I don't know.
I'm just I like the way it is. I know
there's nothing I don't.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
I don't disagree with anything that's even I do or have,
Like I love the way it works with us.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
But are you inspired by having a partner that their
number one focuses you? Or are you inspired by having
a partner that motivates you? Because you're not competitive, but
you that you aspire, they inspire you. Kip Whitman, I
think I know the answer to this for you.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I think no. My mum was traditional, so she's home.
But then also once we all left home, she started
working again with dad and got into the family business.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Happen sort of traditionally and then move on, which is
what I think. And I think Naomi right now, because
Siena's nine months and she's about to start work again
and she really doesn't want to, Like she's like, I
want to be at home, And if we weren't building
a house, like if we could afford it, it would
be nice for me to be able to say, yes,
you absolutely you stay at home. You do what you do,
(04:23):
what you want.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
To do, Okay with that?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
So I'm okay if if they had to and if
they wanted to, Yeah, I'm fine with it if we
can afford to live like that.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, I would certainly not think anything less. Now I'm
saying she wouldn't inspire me any less if that's what.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
She wanted to do. That's that's what I'm trying to
go with that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Still find her amazing and still think that she's Like
I know that she's smarter than me. She was smarter
than me before we got because.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
She's got a big kick us job in town.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Like we're a lot in common. Wives are just way
smarter than.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I am. So interested in this because it is just
so out of my realm of possibility. You know, I'm
third generation and single mother, right, And to me, like
when you guys say that and I think of people
going home and not having their own money, it terrifies
me because I know things can go wrong, and if
people don't have their own money, then it's so problematic,
(05:17):
Like if you don't have the capacity to take care
of yourself and your children, that actually gives me anxiety.
I am the anti trad wife or trade partner.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
What what about your new blake?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
What about Olivia?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
What is ething?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, actually, it's funny you say that because we did
have a conversation not so long ago, which I recorded.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Okay you can if.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You want to, you can have a listen to what
he says.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's very untraditional record a conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We were talking. It was around this sort of stuff
and someone that he works with, and I thought, oh,
this could make some interesting radio and then this whole
trad wife stuff's happened.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So let's hear it in the second and if you
want to get involved. Thirteen one oh six fives our number.
It's Robin and Kip now at Coreot's on Kiss ninety
seven three.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Jess of Arana Hills, Are you a trad wife?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
No, I'm not a trad wife, but my husband wishes
that I was.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Really, So, why is what he wants you to do?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
In what regard?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Does he want you to do more at home?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Or oh yeah, yeah, he wants me to be home,
be cooking, be cleaning. I mean I do all that
stuff anyway, but not to you know, because I'm working.
You know, I can't do as much as what he'd like.
And he would love that if I was, you know,
he had a day off work, that I would be
there so that we could send the day together. He
(06:31):
really wants me to just stay at home. But for me,
I just I need independence, like and I need to
be able to feel like I'm contributing. And you know,
I was just hearing Robin say about, you know, not
having that financial as well, Like, I worry that if
so togever happens to me, I'm in trouble if I
don't have any income coming in right.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, And does that impact your relationship because that's actually
not what he wants.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Absolutely it does. It's a constant it's a constant conversation
that we have where he's like, you know, I feel
like he doesn't support you know, my what I do
and that, Yeah, it is a bit of fight that
we have because he's just really is like, just quit
your job, you know, here all the time. So yeah,
(07:16):
it's definitely something that is a big conversation. And yeah,
it's it's an issue.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Has he ever asked you to make potato chips from scratching?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Not too extreme and all that kind of kill snickers?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Snickers right now, make some stickers.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That's yes, I'm interested in what you have to say
about this because I asked my Belgian boyfriend Olivia. We've
been together fourteen months, whether he wanted or had ever
thought about having a trad wife.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Well, I guess, to me, I need to look up
to my partner, someone that had my and I love
someone and then I can actually connect with in the
same level. And I guess everyone's different, and I respect
everyone's choice about that. My choice is someone that I
need to work for, someone that will challenge me.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's kind of interesting because I think then there are
decisions to be made. Do you partner with someone who
will just take care of all your needs or someone
who'll make you work.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
No, someone will meet on my needs will be good
for quite some time, but I think life will become
boring very.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And that is the best answer as to why I
can't cook that.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I have ever heard.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
To crack for a while and then he's like, yeah, no,
I need someone who's gonna like I have to kind
of chase after it. It makes it makes me be
a better human, Which doesn't mean that people who stay
up and don't do that, we should be clear. But
I think he gets inspired by the fact that I'm
at work.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
And doing lots of things and wonder if tho's a
part of him that's sitting there going. How do I
answer this quick enough so I can have dinner.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
