GRACE is a ‘tradwife’ or a ‘traditional wife’. She and her husband Bradley believe in ‘traditional’ gender roles. Grace summarises her role as a tradwife as “putting my family’s needs first and their wants first.” The couple have four children together - Leo, eight, Autumn, three, Max, two and 16-month-old Lily. Bradley is the ‘primary breadwinner’ of the household and while he goes out to work, Grace looks after the home, prepares all the meals and does all the care for the children including homeschooling them. Grace has received a lot of judgement for leading a ‘tradwife’ lifestyle from people she knows. She said: “They make comments like ‘oh well, it sounds like you’re just a slave'.” Bradley is also subjected to negativity. He added: “I get a lot of pushback from women who think that I'm manipulative, I'm abusive, I'm controlling, I forced this on her.” The couple feel their belief and practice of gender roles has a ‘healthy’ impact on their children. Bradley added: “Now, if the girls grow up and they want to go see the world, they want to be girl bosses, I'm fine with that. But we have the rest of society to tell them they can do that. I think it's important for us to show them that there's an alternative.”
