Estee Williams, 25, firmly believes in traditional gender roles and disagrees with women who try to have everything and be everywhere.
A woman in her mid-thirties who prides herself on being a “traditional wife” spends five hours in the kitchen every day and says her job is to make her husband’s life easier.
Estee Williams is a firm believer in traditional gender roles and says that the man should be the one who goes to work and “feeds and protects” his family, while the wife should play the role of housewife and no longer contribute financially to the family’s well-being, according to The Mirror.
Although the couple don’t have children yet, Ms Williams, from Virginia, US, says she doesn’t agree with women trying to have it all and doesn’t want to go to work all day and come home to cook and clean like her mother did.
She also believes that due to the simple distribution of roles, there are no arguments or confusion about who should do the housework.
Estee married Conner, 23, earlier this year, and notes that the two have always agreed on traditional values, which they discussed when they first met three years ago.
Conner works full-time as an electrician, while Estee stays home and takes care of the house’s cleanliness and meals, trying to make sure her husband doesn’t have to lift a finger.
Estee says she spends up to five hours a day in the kitchen preparing food. She spends another two hours cleaning.
“In the evening, I prepare his lunch for work, put his clothes together so that everything is ready. I also make sure that the house is clean and smelling good when he comes home from work,” she explained.
“I take care of all his needs to make his life easier.”
“I didn’t really grow up in a traditional environment. My parents divorced when I was very young, so my mother, who was left with the children, did everything to make ends meet.”
“I firmly knew that I did not want to live like this. I didn’t want to be that woman who works all day and then comes home to cook and clean.”
“I dreamed of staying at home and having a partner who appreciated my role as a housewife. I just wanted a simple, traditional life.”
“After meeting in 2020, we realized that our views and values coincide. I never thought I would meet such a guy,” she added.
“I was studying meteorology at the time, but dropped out of college shortly after we met and gave up any intention of pursuing a career.”
“I don’t plan to pursue a career because I will stay at home and take care of our home, my husband and hopefully my future family,” she said.
Estee starts her day with a cup of coffee and then changes her clothes.
She does not like to walk around in pajamas and tries to look attractive every day – she always does her hair and makeup and wears a “house dress”.
“I try to always look nice,” she noted.
“I cook all of our meals fresh, so I spend up to five hours a day in the kitchen, and it takes two hours to clean the whole house.”
“I go to the store to buy groceries and take care of all the necessary household chores.”
“I also have time to invest in hobbies and new skills. I’m currently studying horticulture and I’m going to start learning figure skating.”
“I try to make our house smell of aromatic candles and incense. I try to create a cozy environment and make sure everything is ready for Conner’s return. Then we can spend time together.”
“Conner doesn’t have to lift a finger at home because he works hard to keep us going. I like the clear division of roles. Then there is no confusion or arguments about whose turn it is to do one job or another.”
Estee and Conner are currently enjoying their newlywed life, but they hope to have children in the next two to three years.
Then Estee, as a traditional wife, will also have the responsibility of taking care of the children.
“I will also make sure that our children’s needs are met and I will want them to be educated at home.” I’m a strong supporter of homeschooling and I think parents need to know what knowledge their child is getting.”
“I like to spread the image of a housewife and a traditional wife. It’s not boring, it gives me satisfaction.”
“I believe women are happiest when they take care of home and family.”
“Trolls often call me lazy on social media, but I don’t pay attention.”
“I even get comments about domestic violence because people think that if you’re financially dependent on someone, that person can take advantage of you because you don’t have the means to support yourself. But that is not the case.”
“I like the way we live. It’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of.”
