Proud trad wife insists on looking pretty
Share this @internewscast.com

A modern-day “Leave It To Beaver” family.

In a time when numerous women are moving away from conventional gender expectations, Maria West chooses a different path — embracing the identity of a “trad wife” with pride.

The Seattle woman loves nothing more than being a stay-at-home mom and wife while her real estate husband goes out to work all day.

Most days, the 30-year-old stays at home diligently performing her homemaker responsibilities, looking after her family, and managing their household — all while donning a full face of makeup, sometimes a sundress, and a cheerful expression.

“I don’t want to look like one of the boys,” the mother-of-two told What’s The Jam.

“Even in the chaos of motherhood, I want to feel soft, beautiful and grounded.”

The 30-year-old said it’s not vain of her to want to look and feel good while she’s tending to the needs of her family.

“I want to reflect love and care for my home, my husband and my children – and that starts with how I carry myself,” she told the outlet.

“Sometimes it’s a full face of makeup and a dress, other days it’s a brushed ponytail and a matching lounge set – but I always try.”

West acknowledges that her attitude is quite unique — especially these days.

“Society encourages women to dread being left out, to work hard, and to prioritize independence over deep connections. My act of defiance is creating a life with my husband and demonstrating to my children that motherhood is a powerful role, not a passive one,” she expressed.

And this mom isn’t the only one embracing the sourdough making, dinner on the table by 6 p.m. lifestyle.

A California mom and influencer, Gretchen Adler lives a similar life — yet takes her Suzy Homemaker ways a step further.

Adler has gone viral on social media for her time in the kitchen making unprocessed versions of classic junk food for her family, like homemade Cheez-Its and Oreos.

“I think a lot of women are looking for this lifestyle,” Adler, 38, told The Post.

“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.”

“I don’t think it needs to have a negative connotation at all,” she added.

And despite these women receiving criticism from others — they seem rather unfazed by it.

“Some people assume that choosing home means you’re repressed or small-minded, which is wild considering I’m just over here making soup and minding my own business,” West told What’s The Jam.

“And if anyone still thinks being at home isn’t real work, I invite them to keep a toddler alive, fed and off the kitchen counters for 12 hours straight – [where there are] no breaks and no bonus,” she said.
