Child-Free 'Trad Wife' Advocates for Stay-at-Home Lifestyle as Path to Happiness
A self-described 'trad wife' without children has publicly asserted that women could find greater happiness and fulfilment by adopting her example of domestic life. Janea Robinson, aged 26, entered into marriage with her husband Austin, 23, two years ago and promptly embraced what she terms a 'traditional' role within their union.
Embracing a Homemaker's Role
The former modelling school manager, hailing from Tennessee, detailed how she dedicates her days to cleaning, cooking, and decorating their home, consciously avoiding what she calls 'outside noise'. Austin, a full-time musician, financially supports the household, a arrangement Janea says grants her cherished freedom. Without the responsibilities of parenthood, she emphasises having ample time for personal pursuits like yoga and meditation, characterising their relationship dynamic as nothing short of 'heavenly'.
Rooted in Tradition and Faith
While her prior career in modelling school management provided some professional experience, Janea has firmly decided against returning to employment, convinced her marriage flourishes under their current lifestyle. She articulated, 'Being a trad wife to me is having traditional values and a traditional marriage, where we serve each other the way God intended.' She believes this approach strengthens their bond with faith and each other, with future children in mind. Having settled in Nashville after their wedding, she expresses deep contentment, spending her hours tending to their home.
Janea elaborated: 'Instead of both working, focusing and stressing about that and being busy, we are blessed to get to live this way, and I highly recommend it to anyone who can. I think most women would be happier with this lifestyle.' She credits her upbringing, observing her parents' similar dynamic, for shaping this vision of marriage where she remains at home.
A Lifestyle of Care and Contentment
For Janea, being a housewife intertwines with her religious identity, holding that women are inherently caretakers. She stated, 'I've always been a believer [in God], so biblically I believe the woman is made more to be more of a caretaker, nurture, the heart of the home, and the husband made to protect, and provide.' Upon marriage, their shared views on roles led naturally to her becoming a stay-at-home wife while Austin works and covers all expenses.
As Austin pursues his country music career, Janea manages household tasks like tidying, cooking, and grocery shopping, alongside creating TikTok content about her 'trad wife' life. She also took charge of interior design when they moved into their new home, allowing him to concentrate on his profession. 'I decorated and made our house a home, I do most of the cooking and cleaning, and he worries about all the outside noise,' she remarked. 'It's been heavenly.'
Future Aspirations and Daily Routines
Although relishing her free time, Janea hasn't discounted having children later. She plans to raise them outside conventional systems, saying, 'Soon I will have children and be blessed enough to be a stay-at-home mum. My husband and I will get to pour into our children and raise them instead of schools or daycare. And I think that's extremely important.'
Presently, her days involve homemaking chores, caring for their Australian Shepherd mix Hank Jr., and ensuring everything is 'put together'. Activities vary from baking sourdough bread and desserts to workouts, sauna sessions, and meditation. 'My days are really chill and flexible. I love the flexibility and being on my time,' she shared. 'I definitely can't wait to be a mum though, and to be able to fill my day more.'
Reflecting on her choice, Janea concluded, 'I chose this lifestyle because I believe it's more of my role and where I'd thrive the most. I appreciate not working for someone else and having a nine-to-five every day. I enjoy being with my husband more and [making the most of] our lives.'
