ONE 25-year-old woman has said her job is to make her husband's life easier — which means she spends up to five hours a day in the kitchen

Estee Williams calls herself a "tradwife" — short for traditional wife — and considers it her role to meet all of her husband's needs.

Estee, from Virginia, strongly believes in traditional gender roles in her marriage.

She says that the husband should be the one that goes out to work to be the provider and the protector, while the wife is the homemaker and doesn't need to financially add to the family. 

Despite the fact the pair have no children, Estee says she doesn't agree with women trying to have it all.

In fact, soon after meeting her husband, Conner, 22, she dropped out of college — and now dedicates her time to serving her husband.

She insists that she doesn't want to go out to work all day and come home to cook and clean like her own mother did.

"I definitely didn't grow up in a traditional setting. My parents divorced when I was young and my mom struggled with her kids to make ends meet," she said.

"I strongly knew that I didn't want that for myself. I didn't want to be the woman that went out to work all day and then have to come home to cook and clean.

"I dreamed of staying home and having a partner that would appreciate my role as a homemaker. I just wanted a simple and traditional life."

She and Conner met in 2020 and discussed their shared traditional values on their first date.

"We realized we had the same views and values. I never thought I'd meet a guy like this," she said.

"At the time, I was a student studying meteorology, but shortly after we met, I left college and dropped all means of pursuing a career.

"I don't ever plan on having a career because I will stay home to look after our home, my husband, and hopefully our future family."

She and Conner, 22 tied the knot in January, and she stays at home cooking and cleaning while Connor goes to work full-time as an electrician.

Estee makes sure he doesn't have to lift a finger when he is home.

"I make Conner's lunch for him the night before he goes to work, lay out his clothes for him so everything is organized, and make sure the house is clean and smells good for when he gets home.

"I serve any of his needs to make his life easier."

Estee starts her day with a coffee before getting herself ready.

She doesn't like to sit around in pajamas and ensures she looks well put together every day.

Estee said: "I do my hair and make-up, and usually wear a house dress. I like to make sure I always look nice. 

"I cook all of our meals from scratch so tend to spend up to five hours a day in the kitchen and spend two hours a day cleaning the entire house.

"I do our grocery shopping and run any errands that need to be done.

"I also have time to invest in hobbies and new skills, so I am currently learning how to garden and I am about to start figure skating, too.

"I love to make sure our home smells good with candles and incense.

"I make it a really homey environment and ensure everything is done for Conner coming home so that we can then spend time together. 

"Conner doesn't have to lift a finger around the house because he works hard to provide for us," she added.

"I love the simple divide of roles. There is no confusion or arguments over whose turn it is to do something."

While Estee and Conner are enjoying their life as newlyweds, they do hope to start a family in the next two to three years.

Estee's role as a tradwife would then also include taking care of their babies.

She said: "I would also make sure that our babies' needs are met and I would also love to home-school them.

"I am a big believer in homeschooling and knowing what my child is consuming academically.

"I love to promote a wholesome picture of being a homemaker and tradwife. It is not boring, it is fulfilling.

"I believe that women are happiest when they're at home taking care of the house and their family.

"I'm often called lazy by trolls on social media, but I tend to just ignore it," she said.

"I even get comments relating to domestic violence because people think that when you're depending on someone financially, they can abuse you as you don’t have the means to support yourself.

"But that's just not the case," she insisted.

"I love the way that we live our life. It's everything I ever dreamed of."
