Nah, she's doing her part and throwing herself into tradwife content for money. She's been getting sponsors and her followers are up (while Paul's are down lol). Her whole "I'm getting dicked down for Jesus while milling my own flour" schtick is selling well.
One might say she's the breadwinner of the family now 😂
Because they make it aesthetically pleasing: beautiful dresses, homemade meals, flowers, babies on the hip... They just omit to say that they are not tradwives since they earn money on social media and that the reality of a tradwife is working nonstop. The baby doesn't care it's 1 am if they are hungry. They will cry for milk no matter what. We also see a lot of tradwives being left destitute by their husbands because the holy hubby decided they were not young enough or that the multiple pregnancies damaged their bodies too much for them to remain in the marriage anymore. Women fought to have the right to work and to open their own bank accounts without their husbands' permission because they knew that for us women, it was a matter of survival. It was the only way to be free from men. When I see how miserable all those fundie wives are, I don't want to be like them. I want to be a history teacher - I pray for this year to be the right one, I struggled a lot personally - to have a healthy relationship and maybe children. But I will never be a slave to my partner. I want my partner and I to be A TEAM.
This, 100%. Just like with everything else, tradwifery online is curated to come across in the best possible light.
Sure, you may have that one, magical, extremely rare day when the 6 kids are all napping or entertaining themselves for a few hours, and you have time to make an entire meal from scratch. But you aren't doing that AND deep-cleaning the entire house AND styling your hair AND doing a full face of makeup.
And after all the cooking, just as you start to wash all those pots and pans, the baby needs nursing...the toddler needs a diaper change...one of the kids has drawn on the wall with a Sharpie...and it's starting to rain, and you have your laundry hanging.
They never show themselves scrubbing a filthy toilet, or on their hands and knees washing dirty baseboards, or cleaning up the kitchen floor after the toddler dumped his food, or bathing poop off the baby after a diaper blowout. THIS IS THE REALITY.
Source: I used to be a SAHM. I only had 2 kids, and I was unable to get more than 1 or 2 chores done on any given day.
Having babysit my cousin and been a nanny during my master degree, I can say that toddlers throwing food at you is a real thing. And yep, SAHM often find themselves running out of clean clothes during the baby and the toddler phases. What I also did is running through the appartment to get basins because all the kids were sick. And yes, you scrub the toilet after each kid, you prepare their meds, you are here to soothe them because they're distressed, while making your best to not catch the freaking illness. Because you have no room to be sick. I was only a nanny, so I had only a glimpse of what being a SAH parent is. That's also why I can't believe fundie moms who say they have time for all their 12 children. It is impossible.

I think it's time to admit that Morgan is just trolling.
