Tradwives Are Trying To Convince The Internet That Their Husband’s Don’t Hate Them

本站添加: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Hello guys, how are we doing? Welcome back to my YouTube channel. I am back where I normally am filming. If you're new here, that will mean nothing to you.

[00:00:08]Am I sweating? Yeah, I'm nearly 30 weeks pregnant. I'm sweating. We're going for a bit of a heat wave, right? So, we're we're just going to have to simmer down and just deal with it, right? I know. I know. I feel your pain. Today, uh this is this is the video that I've been wanting to make for a couple weeks now.

[00:00:23]And I'm ready just I'm ready just to have at it because I have been exploring once again the world of the stay-at-home wives.

[00:00:31]>> Would I like to come home to if I god forbid had to work full-time and my husband was staying home? I would want to come home to like a house that's put together, a like spouse that's put together and kids who are like they don't need anything. So I try to make it like effortless when he comes home. And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm just getting myself refreshed. I call it de Adam Sandlering myself because a lot of the times I look like Adam Sandler.

[00:00:58]>> I'm not so much talking about the stay-at-home moms that kind of for the benefit of everyone have decided to stay at home, look after the kids, da da da, equal partnership, very much 50/50. I ain't talking about you. I'm talking about the ones who it becomes more so my man is the leader of the household. Some a lot of the time there's a lot of Christianity that is rolled into this as well. There is a lot of he's the leader and I follow and you know I make the home the heart I multiply. He goes out and he does all the heavy lifting demeaning what they do as a role of being a a wife, a mom, a homemaker. Da da da. Okay, there's a very big distinction. Now, some people just call them trad wives. The traditional wives are the women we're going to talk about in a minute who would call me one of those feminists who Yeah, I believe that if you are a general dra wife, what are you doing on the internet? Why do you have a monetized Tik Tok account if you're if you're a triedwife? Surely not. You're very much picking and choosing at this point which traditional rules for your traditional values you want to be upholding.

[00:02:13]>> Somebody would ask me if there's anything else I want in life. I honestly wouldn't know what to say. I'm 19 and I have basically everything I've ever dreamed of and I can never ask for more.

[00:02:24]And it may seem like I'm being a little bit bratty and I'm being a little bit cassy, brassy, all the sort. It's gone beyond just, oh, there are people kind of, you know, putting themselves down as women and having a go at people who want to stand up for women's rights. Like people who just genuinely want to see women succeed in the workforce and let women have a choice, right? These people are very much anti that. It goes beyond just them coming on and saying a bit of controversial stuff. It It's going deeper than that. I saw a Tik Tok the other day and I will just play it to you because I feel like how she will describe it is a lot better than what will come out of my babbling mouth.

[00:03:01]>> This video can lead to this video.

[00:03:08]>> Men and women are not the same and that is a blessing. He provides and protect.

[00:03:11]I multiply. He provides the shelter. I give it a heartbeat. Provides the house.

[00:03:14]I make it into a home.

[00:03:15]>> Can lead to this video.

[00:03:16]>> College has become an incredibly destructive enterprise for young women.

[00:03:20]That's right. It just just for young men too, but for young women especially, how do they cope with that? They have to start acting like men.

[00:03:27]>> Yep.

[00:03:27]>> And that's what they do. They start dressing like men. They start talking like men. They start trying to run companies.

[00:03:32]>> They fill the fill the gap.

[00:03:33]>> And they fill the gap because they start having sexual behaviors like men. So, they have to start becoming men.

[00:03:37]Literally, that's where they get the trans thing.

[00:03:39]>> Some of the most influential political content does not appear overtly political at all. It presents itself as lifestyle advice or aspirational aesthetic content that slowly introduces and normalizes more oppressive ideological beliefs via the algorithm over time. Just be aware of the pipeline. And that really made me think.

[00:03:56]It really did because now more than ever with the way that the world seems to be shifting and going it um it makes me think yeah actually I tell you what this this this does go deeper than beyond oh we're just going to take a bit of controversial stuff that they're saying and we're going to have a little hehaha.

[00:04:15]There is a real element of danger when women are coming on and repeating this kind of uh rhetoric that we do see in today's society and they're calling it like traditional values and all of this.

[00:04:31]I'm telling you, I'm telling you those men and those women want to see us right back to when we couldn't vote, we didn't have bank accounts, and we were solely begging on our hands and knees at the foot of abusive men. Right? that's what they want. And I will be honest, every single husband that has been shown to me from some of these, you know, I'm a traditional wife, uh, videos, they're all kind of the same. They're just they give me they give me they give me the heebie-jebies. I'll be completely honest. I'm not talking about the way they look. I'm just literally talking about the fact that they're giving me major red flag heebie-jebies. Get away from me. And watching the way that the women interact with them is extremely telling. So, we're gonna get straight onto it. I know that that was a really long uh introduction, but I do feel like this is a really important topic to be covering and I have covered very very similar topics, but these are like fresh faces, fresh people, and coming at it from a slightly different more different perspective than normal. So, we have Lily, right? Lily is a perfect example of this. Lily is up here. Lily actually met, he was her very first boyfriend, her very first love. She had never been with anyone else. Met him when she was 15. By the time they were 18, they're married. They now have a baby.

[00:05:47]>> I've seen this trend and I kind of want to do it, but I also feel awkward. But we're going to do it anyways. Let's start off very strong. I met the love of my life when I was 15 years old and then we got married when I was 18. I've never had a situationship. And also, I married my very first boyfriend ever, which I am so happy cuz I didn't want to deal with all of that. a couple who came out and said that their baby wasn't the priority. It's actually their marriage.

[00:06:12]Um, and she posts many, many, many posts related to the trad theme and what it means to be a traditional wife. So, here are just some of the things that she's posted. So, she says, "How my husband and I split house chores as 19 plus 22year-old parents." Don't worry, we'll be coming back to that little age gap in a minute.

[00:06:33]Cleaning, she does 100%. I clean the house completely. No need for him to do it. Child care. So, so child care. She does 100 and he does 10. At least for now. There's not much for him to do. He watches her if I need him to, but I do all the diapers, baths, waking up, and such.

[00:06:52]Dishes plus laundry, 100, he does zero.

[00:06:56]I do these, too. I always try to have them done by the end of the day. Cooking 100/z.

[00:07:02]So, she does 100, he does zero. I love cooking and baking for him. It takes time, but it's so worth it. Taking out the trash. He doesn't do it. This is a guy job. Haha. I've never done this once.

[00:07:15]My husband is an amazing provider, protector, father, and leader of our household. He works so hard so I can be a stay-at-home mom and homemaker. I'm so thankful for everything he does for us, and I could never do as much as he does for me. I have the most unbelievably handsome husband in the whole world.

[00:07:35]Treats me like a princess. He buys me everything I want or need.

[00:07:39]>> The one thing I will say, right, is that if he didn't have you, he he he could replace you pretty easy. I'm mean this in the nicest possible way because what he is trying to find is a maid and a cook. That is what these men look for, a maid and a cook. So, you saying, you know, I get to live out my dream being a stay-at-home uh wife, stay-at-home mom, where he doesn't have to do anything with the baby because according to her, he doesn't have to do she she doesn't need him. Doesn't do a single thing. No, no, no. Um, she does absolutely everything apart from the bins. Okay.

[00:08:13]But the thing is, right, is that if you two were not together, he would have to find someone to do all of those things.

[00:08:19]So, it's either he'd find another one of you or he'd have to hire help. Do do you see you're doing him a favor if anything? Someone commented, "Please make sure you have your own money and bank account just in case, please." And Lily said, "No thanks, but thank you for the concern." And 159 people hearted it.

[00:08:39]Now, I have always taken the position of being a strong advocate cuz I'm a living I went through this this exact thing of not having your own money and giving up everything to become a stay-at-home mom and then realizing after a relationship breakdown that you started from absolutely nothing, going through an incredibly difficult it was a custody battle and then there was like going through an extremely stressful time period of having no money, having to start from ground zero. It ain't fun, right? It's not fun. So, I always advocate for people to not be stupid.

[00:09:11]Don't be like me and just have something on the side. You can be in the best possible relationship. You do you do not know what's going to happen around that corner. It's the last time I'm going to say it. And someone did comment, you know, I you don't split anything.

[00:09:24]There's nothing there's nothing split.

[00:09:25]And she says, I think the fact that he goes out and earns all the money so I can stay home and do whatever I want is in fact more than a fair trade.

[00:09:36]What are we talking about? do whatever you want. You just listed a cook's job, a nanny, and uh a cleaner. That's not doing nothing. And the thing is right, I remember being like that. And I'm telling you right now, that's not doing nothing. This is what I'm trying to get at. It is demeaning themselves and making their partner bigger. It is literally demeaning the woman and making the man um the god, the like the epicenter of everything that is happening in their lives. She also makes videos talking about the fact that he will go off uh on his when he's not working. Can't remember what he does, but when he's not working, they're really involved with the church. And she says something like, what was it? She says something like they all do something called um soul winning whilst he is out soulinning. She is at home and I'll leave the the response from her up here but soulinning is something like going around and either gaining new followers of the Lord or going around spreading the message. It's literally called soulinning. I I've never heard of that in my whole life and I used to be Christian.

[00:10:47]>> Come here.

[00:10:49]>> Sorry. and and them two made a video together and I'm going to let you watch watch this because her reaction to him praising her is really really really telling.

[00:11:04]>> But that's not what we are trying to conserve being conservatives. We're not very in that sense.

[00:11:12]>> That's not what we're referring to when we say traditional. Well put well put that's um >> yeah very well spoken. The thing is with conservatism conservatism again is good if you're conserving things that align with what the scripture teaches.

[00:11:30]>> What he's doing is talking about conserving Christian values in a modern day sense. Um a lot of just a lot of lip service. Nobody is conserving first century Christianity where Christians were being fed to lions and burnt alive and had, you know, part of Rome's burning, being blamed on them just for the sake of them being Christian.

[00:11:53]Nobody's conserving that.

[00:11:55]>> Everybody's conserving the good old days. This sort of like >> boomer type like well back in my day we you know >> back when they were overprivileged, underworked and the whole nine yards.

[00:12:06]We're not trying to conserve the glory days. What we're trying to conserve and the traditions that we're confiding in are the traditions of the Bible. And how does that translate in our modern day setting? We're not trying to go back to the stone age.

[00:12:20]>> No, >> we have cell phones. We're on TikTok.

[00:12:23]>> A lot of lip service to essentially say, you know, I like my woman submissive. I like going earning money and I expect the house to be clean, the wife to be presentable, uh, and the baby to be quiet when I come in. That's basically it's basically it. And the way that she looks at her food, I'll play it again.

[00:12:44]>> When we say traditional, >> well, well put, that's um >> yeah, very well spoken.

[00:12:50]>> The thing is with conservatism, >> is literally the look that my dog gives me when I say good boy.

[00:13:00]>> No, >> we have cell phones. We're on TikTok.

[00:13:04]Um, but the reason I thought this would be a good little conversation is just because somebody commented like >> I was just about to my comment >> being traditional doesn't mean we're trying to stay back exactly at one certain time period. So yeah, a lot of people a lot of feminists like to try and bring up like traditional as like you say like, "Oh, then you shouldn't be on TikTok cuz that's not very traditional." I'm like, "That just doesn't make sense. Anyways, >> well the little bird brain it makes sense.

[00:13:39]>> So she is like throwing in her dig. So she is responding to a comment because people were obviously just like yo there's no need for you just to bag on feminism cuz I don't know why people were following her thinking that she wasn't going to bag on feminism. I don't know I don't know what the big deal is.

[00:13:54]But she says feminis feminism has made this society so much worse. Of course men and women are equal and have the same amount of value.

[00:14:04]I don't think you think that, but it has ruined the family structure, has made it okay for abortion to seem good somehow, made hookup culture and sleeping around seem okay, and has made women think hating men is a good trait. The list goes on and on. You see all these feminists in my comments hating on my lifestyle, saying I should have got an abortion with my daughter, to leave my husband, and even go as far as to say threats in my messages because they didn't like what I had to say or how I was living. I don't care if women go to work or live a different lifestyle than me, but that is not what feminism is about. I think the thing is about feminism is being able to ultimately make a choice. And she's saying that she has made a choice to be in this marriage, but at the end of the day, she met him when she was 15. Uh, and it sounds like he was 18, and that's the reason why they had to wait because she's 19 and he's 22.

[00:14:59]So, I mean, he met her when she was a minor.

[00:15:04]Um, unless my calculations are completely squiff, so already that's looking a bit predatory.

[00:15:14]That's not really giving you a lot of choice.

[00:15:17]Um, and I I just feel bad for her. I'll be completely honest. I do feel bad.

[00:15:23]Like, yeah, she is a woman. she can make her own decisions. But she was 15 when she must have, you know, she was 15 and he must have been about 18, which Yeah. And then he's blatantly waited until she's 18 so they can both get married and now she's pregnant with this kid.

[00:15:41]>> Here are some reasons on why I consider myself a tad wife. Reason one, I'm okay with my husband telling me no, we're not getting a sweet treat or we're not going out to eat and telling me maybe it's time to start working out. Uh, and she once again very young, very like bright, bubbly, got married really, really young. And she has this little series, you know, being like why I uh am a why I like being a trad. And I'm very bad at telling myself no. And don't worry, he leads by example and he works out. I'm not going to get mad and be like, don't tell me no or just love me the way I am or I don't need to work out or that's controlling or abusive. That's love.

[00:16:18]Let's be real. getting us ice cream every night would be a lot easier for him, myself, be more fun, more comforting for a short period. But as a good leading husband, he's looking down the road thinking of what's best for us and leading us in that direction. She's openly bragged about the fact that her that she allows her husband to tell her if she's gotten too fat or she can she doesn't mind that her husband dictates if she eats dessert or not.

[00:16:45]And the thing is is that I do genuinely think that you as couples you should hold each other accountable. Like if one of you has said uh hey I'm not going to I'm going to abstain from drinking wine this month for instance or oh I'm trying to quit smoking. Can you help me fully get that like fully understand that to to be like you know are you are you sure cuz you are holding that person accountable because they have asked you to big difference. Literally the way that she is describing it, it sounds like control rather than help. Maybe your partner drifting you in a different direction after you have said, "Hey, can you please hold me accountable?" I think that's perfectly fine as long as you've had that conversation. But for your partner to literally just be like, "No, you're not having more dessert because you put on a few pounds." Nah. No.

[00:17:35]>> I respect that much more than a guy that is not disciplined, does whatever he wants, does whatever I want, and we're lazy together. And obviously, just to clarify, he does not put me down or isn't verbally abusive or disrespectful.

[00:17:46]He doesn't humiliate me in any way, but he just calmly, nicely will throw in there like about working out soon. And I just don't let it offend me because I know he loves me and that's his job.

[00:17:58]It's control. It's once again, it is control. It's it's it's controlling abuse. That's what it is. And not only that, but she also plays about as if she's like the cool wife because she goes on and she says, you know, I never I never tell my husband what to do. And this this goes just beyond her reasoning of, you know, oh, if he says he wants to start a new hobby or he wants to buy this or buy that, she's not going to stand in his way. That's one thing. But another thing, she will be sitting as a passenger and she will not tell him to break. will not tell will not let him know there's danger will not do anything because she doesn't want to be seen as controlling. So he on her own admission is like speeding around breaking harshly. She can't say anything about it because she doesn't want to be deemed as like controlling.

[00:18:51]>> I consider myself a shw wife because I don't mommy him or control him. If he's driving, I try not to be a backseat driver and I don't tell him where to park. Slow down. They're slowing down or your turn's right here. Let's just and unless I'm second Jia and in charge of the navigation. I know us women would take the speed limit into account and we would just go ahead and just take that parking spot. It's fine. Or we would have started breaking a while back. That one's hard to keep my mouth shut on. I'm like squeezing the seat. But then he reminds me who's gotten in more wrecks.

[00:19:19]So if he wants to start a hobby or a side business or just little project, let him let him try. Let him fail. And most importantly, let him succeed. She doesn't want to be deemed as that as that, you know, that girl, that wife.

[00:19:32]And once again, I think it comes down to a maturity thing. I think it comes down to an age thing cuz both of these women, I know one of them is like under the age of 20. The other one, I don't know how old she is, but she looks pretty young as well. Um, and once again, it is demeaning yourself. It is making yourself smaller.

[00:19:52]>> Let them live. You know, I'm also a try wife because I don't prefer to be a independent boss babe. Like, help me with everything. Oh, I can't open this jar of pickles. Hubby, if I'm home alone, yes, I'll get the knife. I'll freaking whack at it and go to town.

[00:20:06]Give it all I got. But if I got him, that's all I need. Like, yes, put the helmet on me, buckle me up, and make me sure I'm safe.

[00:20:12]>> Not a stay at home mom. She's a stay at home wife. And she's just like, I don't know why any woman wouldn't want this.

[00:20:17]>> Anybody that doesn't want to be a stay-at-home wife, let me convince you.

[00:20:20]It's 7:00. I'm already in my comfy PJs.

[00:20:23]>> All I did today was go shopping.

[00:20:27]>> Isn't that right? We went shopping today and now I'm watching Pretty Woman.

[00:20:30]>> I was in here yesterday.

[00:20:31]>> You can very much choose what you want to do. But I also think that painting this image of this life that is carefree uh and has no struggles. I do think I do think it's dangerous because women you can end up in all sorts of really horrible situations from believing that relying on a man for absolutely everything is the end goal. It is happiness and it's not. And just like we were talking about with this whole obligation thing, uh are you do you feel obligated to do something or do you actually want to do it? I feel like are two really big distinctions. if you want to do it.

[00:21:10]Usually if someone wants to do something, they also don't really talk about it because they're already doing it. But if someone if you feel obligated to do it, you kind of feel like you need to show people that you are doing it in order for other people to give you the validation of yeah, you are doing it to then validate yourself in what you're doing. I don't know if that makes any sense whatsoever, but I always find that the things that the things that I'm most passionate about doing and the things that I do in my day-to-day life, I don't tend to really discuss or share much because I just feel like it's something that I'm doing. Okay, you already know what time it is. It's time for my husband to come home. So, I need to go and like reset my house, reset myself, and get ready for his arrival. I'm on a bit of a time crunch today, but I still want to make sure that I look nice for my husband and that the house looks nice so when he comes home, he can just chill. Maybe throw on a little extra blush, some like extra perfume, and then we will be ready for him to come home.

[00:22:05]Like I said yesterday, the extra blush makes us look like we're not dead inside because we're not. Never actually asked my husband if he appreciates this or if he expects it or anything. It just makes me feel nice and I think that's important that like I feel my best so that I can like run my family the best.

[00:22:22]Already know his thing about windows.

[00:22:24]So, let's shut those first thing.

[00:22:27]I wonder if he watches these and he's like, "I knew you left the windows open all day." Got a text from Honey that he's on his way home, so let's like real quick figure our stuff out. I really should vacuum up here cuz I really like the lines and also my kids were eating snacks up here, so it would be really nice to vacuum, but let's see if we have time. versus woman who does something called evening husband prep, which I feel like it can be interpreted in two different ways. On one hand, is it kind of cute that that you want to make yourself look presentable for your husband because you're really really excited for for your partner, husband, whoever to get back home. Yeah, you know, I do think that is cute and I do think that is also a way of uh you know, keeping romance alive and stuff. I don't necessarily even have an issue with that. However, this mom Hannah very much says that she describes it as a process of clearing hightra areas. I'd never heard of this expression before. She cleans the hight traffic points in the house. You know where people mostly are and where the mess is. She does that.

[00:23:23]She also puts on makeup. She then does her hair. So when her husband walks in, she's like, "Da." And her thing is she wants to make it look like it is effortless. when I like put myself together a little bit more, I like refresh and then I like refresh the house and if the kids are home, I make sure they're like happy, looking good, like everything's just done before my husband gets home. And I have gotten a lot of flack for this because people think it's ridiculous. But I just like to think like what would I like to come home to if I, god forbid, had to work full-time. I would want to come home to like a house that's put together, a like spouse that's put together, and kids who are like they don't need anything. So, I try to make it like effortless when he comes home. And that's what I'm doing right now. So, I like to like do that, like do my hair a little bit, like redo my makeup, whatever needs to get done. I really don't do like a whole lot of makeup. I don't wear mascara typically on like a day-to-day basis, but I just want to make it so that like he comes home and he sees me and I'm like a reflection of this space. Like, I'm put together. I'm ready for the second half of my day. He feels good. I just think that like if your partner is working all day, and don't get me wrong, staying at home is work, like you're working if you're a stay at home parent, but I think if I can carve out 30 minutes max a day where I get everything like prepped for him to come home, I feel like it's a happier environment for the evening.

[00:24:54]And the issue I have is that motherhood is not effortless. It is effortful.

[00:25:01]looking after a house, looking after tiny children, cleaning, uh running errands, you know, making sure everyone is happy, feeding everyone, cleaning that is effort. You're doing like three, sometimes four different jobs in one go.

[00:25:16]And are you paid for it? No.

[00:25:20]Uh do do most of the time you know in a lot of these situations the men are coming back home and actually expecting it because she has made it known that it is effortless.

[00:25:32]She wants people to know it is effortless. At the end of the day it is making the things that we have been known to take over and do and smother ourselves in seem effortless. And I don't think we should be disguising it as effortless because then the men are going to look around and be like, "Well, yeah, I don't know why you're complaining." And of course, they're going to say, "Why are you complaining when you're running around acting like it is not one of the most difficult things that you can be doing, okay?"

[00:26:03]Because it is. We might not be doing brain surgery, okay? But it is extremely mentally and physically taxing to it. I describe it as having on your computer and you've got all the tabs open. And no matter and every single time you close a tab, another one pops up and you'll just you from the minute you wake up to the minute you go to bed, you've still got these tabs open. And no matter how hard you try it, it they're still there. You can go away on holiday and forget about those tabs, but when you come back, guess what? The tabs are still there.

[00:26:31]Okay? And if you don't have someone to share those tabs with, you're never going to get them all closed, right?

[00:26:38]You're never going to do that. Uh cuz there's so many different things and at the end of the day, these guys would have to do that without you. They would have to do that without you. They really would. You're doing like four different jobs in one and you're trying to make it seem like it's effortless and it's not.

[00:26:55]And this is where we are going to have a huge issue. And this is where I think the problem is lying. And it's what is also channeling down to young women as well who are seeing it being like, "Right, yeah. So, I've got to make myself look like this is this is no effort whatsoever. Make myself look presentable. Make the house look presentable. And just be like a subi just be submissive in the fact that it doesn't even matter if I'm struggling cuz cuz what she is saying is really I can't show him that I have had a stressful day. I can't show him that I'm struggling. That's really what she's saying. And then you have these men acting like they can't bloody do anything. I saw this woman. I think her name's Vivian. This is a little bit old, uh, these videos, but it's still important. She said that she was going away for 3 weeks, and her husband has not set foot in the kitchen in years.

[00:27:45]Going on a 3-week trip without my husband, and I cannot even remember the last time he stepped foot in the kitchen. So, to make his life a little bit easier while I'm gone, I prepped 3 weeks worth of meals for the freezer.

[00:27:54]For breakfast, I made sandwiches that can be reheated in the microwave. His actual favorite breakfast is turkey bacon with scrambled egg. To still make things easier for him, I portioned up the turkey bacon on sheets of parchment like this. So, he can just grab a portion, throw it in the toaster, and let it cook while he makes his egg. Made a ton of his freezer favorites, like this chicken pot pie, which I cheat by topping with a puff pastry instead of pie dough. And for anything like this cottage pie that needs to be baked when reheated, I froze in individual foil containers so he can just throw it directly into the oven when he gets home. But for things that can be reheated in the microwave, I froze using freezer molds. For these barbcoa bowls, I used the two cup mold so I could freeze both the cilantro lime rice and the barbcoa meat together. And this makes packing lunches super easy because he could just grab a block of this and put it in a Tupperware to microwave at work. The leftover mashed potatoes from the cottage pie, I froze it into one cup blocks and then also made some meatballs that he could have with the mashed potatoes. And then because it's still flu season, I made some bone broth and used that to make chicken noodle soup.

[00:28:40]So if he got sick, he could eat this.

[00:28:41]And this is only half of everything I prepped for him. So come back for part two to see the rest of it. So what does she do? She meal preps. But I'm talking full on full on like fivestar kitchen prep. We're talking smoothies. We're talking these little snack bites. We're talking breakfast, lunch, dinner, freezer fools, just stalked because I'm assuming she can't trust him in the kitchen. Prepping 3 weeks worth of freezer meals for my husband. And I wanted to make sure he had some of his favorite comfort dishes while he's gone.

[00:29:10]And most of the traditional Middle Eastern dishes that my husband enjoys, actually freeze fairly well. For example, mluba, which is an upside down Palestinian rice dish, is one of my favorites to freeze because it heats up really well in the microwave. Anything that's slowcooked or stewed is going to freeze well. Like this Lebanese stew with jute leaves called mokia. I also made some vermicelli rice to eat with the moya. Use chicken thighs to make portions of sharma meat. And I specifically use dark meat and make sure to not overcook it so that the chicken isn't dry after being frozen and then reheated again. For the chicken, I also made portions of the spiced frozen rice.

[00:29:37]And I found that anything with rice freezes really well. So I also made hashway, which is a Middle Eastern stuffing. I froze portions of this cuz he likes to eat alone with some yogurt, but I also used it to stuff some chicken thighs and then portioned it into foil containers. And then I still had a few potatoes left over from my mashed potato prep. So I used it to make patata mashia, which literally translates to stuffed potatoes. And I did have a sticky note on the fridge with all the reheating times and temperatures for every dish. The very last thing I made was his favorite sweet treat, kaya. It's a Middle Eastern pancake that's stuffed with walnuts and cinnamon and then coated in butter and baked into crispy and then topped with a syrup. That is roughly 3 weeks worth of meals. I wrote out all the meals on a whiteboard so he could keep track of what was available.

[00:30:11]And let me know if there's any specific recipes you want. I think Vivian's slightly different because I mean her channel is quite a lot about cooking. So I can understand why she would then take this as an opportunity to make something like that. Uh so you know I'm not really coming at Vivian in a certain type of way. But once again that could be their love language. They could literally like she probably you know food. I can't remember where. I think I think she said that her husband is Palestinian, but she's talking about food is a really big part of their culture. Um, and that could just be their way of expressing love. Whatever. I'm just saying that it gets taken to extremes to the point where you have men that don't even know how to like operate an oven. And it's like, well, and truly, I just find I just find it like deeply unattractive.

[00:31:02]It's like, what are you going to do when, heaven forbid, if I go? Would you need to like find another woman that quickly because you do not know how to pop a frozen meal in the oven if you're really that bad? You don't even know how to crack two eggs and make a scrambled egg. Do you know what I mean? Like, what what does that say about us? Um, but whatever. That's just what I think. And just kind of gain like a new perspective on it. I think that when you really break it down, some of the language that I'm hearing and some of what I'm seeing is really, really, really concerning.

[00:31:36]And I would not be I would not be shocked if we returned to this conversation in five more years time of people going, "Yeah, yeah." Mhm. It was like some sort of weird right-wing propaganda that is like being fed to us.

[00:31:48]I've tried not to say anything like that too heavily because YouTube will filter like put it down to like politics and things, but it it's kind of true.

[00:31:57]It is kind of true. Um, so that's just what I'm that's what I'm thinking. But what did you guys think about today's video? Any thoughts?

[00:32:06]Please leave it in the comment section.

[00:32:07]I hope you guys have a wonderful day wherever you are in this world. If you're in the UK, I am so sorry. It's really is it got to like 33° yesterday in in um in some parts of England, which is if you're not from here, you'll be like, nah, that's like that's like nothing. It's like, yeah, I have been in hotter climates. I've been in like 48 degree weather in other countries, but they had air con and their homes were not built to keep heat in, whereas ours are, and it's just not not the one. I'm not going to talk about the weather anymore, but I'm going to go ice. I hope you guys have a wonderful day wherever you are in this world. Take care of each other. Take care of yourselves, and I will catch up with you guys in the next video.
