    It’s so refreshing to hear someone speak to these traditional viewpoints in our toxic feministic culture. Love it! The only thing I disagreed with was a husband not having responsibility to “help” with his children. I don’t see the children as a part of the “work” to be divided between a husband and wife. They aren’t just the wives children, they are the husbands children too. He has dad responsibilities to connect with, love and develop a close relationship with his kids just as much as the mom. So when he gets home from work, I think he should be expected to connect with his kids and if that helps the wife out by allowing her to make dinner in peace, then that is a plus!

    I feel like this might distract from our highest calling as Christians. We're called to lovingly serve one another. We're not called to stay within our boundary box and say: "Hey, that's your job, not my job". The husband should be proactive in serving his wife where he can and vice versa. Husbands are literally told to give themselves up for their wives, like Christ did! Ergo completely sacrificing their own interests. It does not say: "Once your day job is done, you can chill out and relax". The woman is also referred to the man's helper in Genesis. If a husband struggles to provide, the wife should help him if she's able. Proverbs 31 shows great admiration for an industrious woman. Spouses should be attentive to each other's needs as much as possible. The Bible says surprisingly little about genders roles compared to how much it speaks about humble service. It mentions briefly women as keepers at home, but it doesn't even take the time to define what that means. I think we ought to be very careful to neither conform the Bible to traditional gender roles nor modern ones.

    I am a muslim woman, and I wholeheartedly agree with this. Our book also says little about the specifics of gender roles in the home. It says you cover each other. Leaving your wife to exhaust herself physically and mentally with homemaking, child bearing and child rearing so you can sit around at home is unacceptable to me. It is detrimental to the wife, the children and the whole family, which you are the head of. That’s not ok.

    Just a side note... it's good to have the children help with folding laundry as it's a great time for conversations. The more they are included the better. My grandmother was always on her feet taking care of the home, cooking food for a family of 6, sewing clothes, baking bread, growing her garden and tending to my grandfather's needs very well. The problem was that she never had time to sit down with her children and listen to their needs or even play with them because she was so busy making sure her husband was comfortable and the children suffered for it. There's a balance in all this. I appreciate your channel and your content.

    I agree. We often complain that our husbands are working too much and never has time for us. When he is home he is tired and needs the rest to get ready for the fixit jobs and other maintenance that needs doing, that maybe we cannot do. But then as moms and wives, we often do the same in caring for the daily chores of a home maker. We are so busy caring for our home and the family needs, that we do not spend any quality time with our children or husbands. Balance is the key and the most difficult thing to achieve. And I wished I had realized that in my younger years of raising our family.

    Great insight, as usual. One thing that I want to remind us of is that the homemaker has A LOT of control over how her days are spent. So, if she wants to stop working right after dinner, she can order her life to make it so, most of the time. When I was raising young kids, my husband was working full time and going to school full time, so that he could provide a better life for us. Even though I was a homeschooling mother of 4 young children, I didn't expect him to do one thing to help out around the house. He just didn't have the margin. Since I was on my own so much, I was very intentional about how I structured my days, and I was determined to be off duty by 8:00 when my kids went to bed. And most days, I made sure that the only thing left to do after dinner was to load the dishwasher with the dishes we ate on, bathe the kids, and put them to bed. How did I do this? I limited my children's outside activities. They did dance, sports, art, etc, but I made sure that all of my free time was not spent driving kids around. I started dinner right after breakfast. That way, most of the prep dishes were out of the way early. I taught my kids to help out around the house, and assigned age-appropriate chores to be completed every day after school. I limited our possessions such as toys and clothes. That helped to keep the housework under control. I taught my children to go to bed at 8. If they were too old for that, they were allowed to spend an hour or so reading in their rooms before going to sleep. In short, I built my days around making sure that I was able to rest at night. My husband is a loving man, and a great provider. But he has never had the kind of autonomy over his days that I do. Most men don't. Even if they are self-employed, they have to meet the demands and deadlines of their clients. I think that it is important for us to keep this in mind if we feel that we need our husbands' help with our job. There are seasons in life when we need an extra hand - sickness, pregnancy, etc. But for the most part, I think that we should focus on being grateful for the freedom that we have as homemakers, and structure our time so that we can take advantage of the flexibility that we have.

    My husband doesnt think that spending time with his child after work is ‘helping’. Its called parenting. And if you cant expect your husband, father of your children, parent his children, then you have a very skewed view of what parenting actually is. I am a christian and have been for many many years and my father parented me, sometimes that allowed my Mom to go to bible study, tend to herself and spend time with her friends. Mothers arent slaves to the home and kids jusy because they shouldnt complain. We should be more focused on raising men that PARENT their kids AND COOPORATE in keeping their home (where they also live) neat and clean. We both have jobs. I raise the kids, taxi them around, cook, clean and trust him to provide financial security. So we both work, one isnt more important than the other.

    I don't think she is saying one is more important than the other. She is saying that a Mom's job is busy and sometimes hard. But, it does end after approximately 20 years. A husbands job continues until his 70's. I agree with her. I worked outside the home 3 12 hour shifts per week while raising my kids. I also maintained my home and finances while hubby worked 40+ a week. Yes, we worked together to raise the family. But, for approximately 20 years I put in more hours than him. Now, I still work 3 nights per week but I have 4 days to enjoy as I wish.

    Even when kids are older you need a break from routine. My father is 84 and when we were little, whenever he was off from work, he would take us with him whether we wanted to go or not "to give my mother a break". And my Father did not do easy work. He worked at a refinery and he still knew that he needed to give my mother a break. Which helped a lot when my mother was sick and had to have surgery.

    Husbands and fathers should absolutely need to participate in the raising of his children. I've always hated when women say, "my husband helps with our kids", or if the mom has to go somewhere and leaves the children with their father, they say, "he's babysitting the kids". No! He's not "helping" or "babysitting". He's doing his job. He's parenting. He's being a father. He's spending time with his children. My now ex husband took for granted everything I did in our home until I had to leave for 30 days for my job. He was on his own with our children. Only then did he get a full understanding of how much I do in the home, because even though we both worked outside of the home, I still did the lions share of the housework, grocery shopping, laundry, bathing the kids, etc. After that he started helping out more with these things. He realized just how much work goes into being a wife and mother. I also get debilitating migraines, and they have, at times, landed me in the emergency room, and/or in bed. If he didn't "help out" with his children during these times, nothing would have gotten done. The kids wouldn't have been fed, bathed, etc. It's called parenting ladies. And don't get it twisted.... I'm not a feminist in any sense of the word, but just because women don't work outside of the home, it doesn't mean they don't work. Yes women have their roles in the home, but it is not the sole job of the man to put a roof over our heads, put food on the table and then it ends at that. That's a load of poo. If he can't handle being asked to participate in the home and the family... I just have no words. And no, wives aren't a "burden". That's crazy to me! Wives and children are a blessing to the husbands and fathers!! They should never be thought of as a burden!!! That's probably the most disturbing statement in this entire video. Also, teach your children how to do some of the household chores. It gives them a good work ethic, it teaches them responsibility, and prepares them for going out on their own, when they are grown. Fathers and children shouldn't just do whatever they want and expect the wife and mom to clean up after them. Smh.... having real issues with this video the more I listen.

    It's strange to hear a woman call another woman a burden. Following that logic, if a man is allowed to call his God given responsibilities a burden, what can women call theirs? I know what you meant (or maybe what the book meant; I was cleaning as I listened and may have missed what was your opinion and what were facts from the book) but the way that fell on my ears... . If I'm encouraged to see my homemaking and child-rearing responsibilities as a joy and a privilege, I would love to see men be encouraged towards the same godly perspective/mindset about his responsibilities.

I love working. I don’t find it stressful. I do meaningful work that I care about. 37.5 hours a week and the idea of doing my professional job for 20-40 years appeals to me way more than solely 20 years of hard home labor.

I do not expect him to do chores around the house, as that is my job and I do my best to make that possible. He does help me with the children and takes a huge role in their religious formation and I'm grateful to share that role. I never did understand how women expect their husbands to come home after working all day while they've been home...I didn't do his job, he shouldn't do mine. Him helping me is putting a roof over my head, clothes on my back and providing stability for our family.

    Being a homemaker is a 24-hour responsibility. Yes, you will have more time to yourself after 18 years--or once you become an empty-nester. But in between, you may become ill or exhausted. And that's when the husband needs to pick up his cross and help around the home. To do so is to honor his wife.

    Agree with that. I was a full time homemaker raising our daughter with special needs and guess what? Anxiety came as a hurricane. Now I understand that yes, my job is taking care of our home and spendind time raising our daughter, but us homemakers need a break, and taking a break doesn't mean leaving the lunch dishes to wash them after dinner it means having my husband taking care of them. I don't expect my husband to make dinner when he arrives home after work, but the both of us are human, and as sometimes I help him with part of his job, I sometimes need help as well. As we have always say: we are a team, and it is healthy to understand that we are just humans and sometimes wue need help and rest. ❤

Looking back Now I can see how ungrateful I was in my past relationship. Wanting more than what he could provide and complaining about it. I even blamed single moms for their horrible life decisions (I didn’t speak it out loud but God knew my heart and thoughts) and was boastful about having a “good man”. God has a funny way of leveling the playing fields ). Gods just preparing me by having me struggle and raise a toddler on my own with no help. It’s very hard but God is pruning me in this season. When God sends me my husband I will never part my lips to complain or make his life anything but blissful. You are very blessed to have a husband cherish Gods gift 🎁

    So interesting that you talk about this. My mom went to a prestigious college, got a prestigious degree, and got a very successful job after, at around which time she married my dad. But when she was pregnant with her first child, she quit her job and ever since put her all into child rearing, homemaking, and homeschooling. I've got plenty of siblings, so essentially Mom always had her hands full with at least 1 kid age 5 or under for, well, about 20 years. But now that we older siblings are grown and able to take care of ourselves and help out with our younger siblings, Mom has had time to pick up hobbies, learn new skills, and even start small businesses. Dad is still working to provide for the household and has focused on that all along. It's cool to see how clearly, while Mom and Dad could take opposite roles, in choosing to specialize in their comparative advantage (economics term), they've been all the more effective as parents.

    Maybe I am not a traditionalist but I do not agree with this ideology. I have stayed home for the last 16 yrs and have raised 2 children. My push back is that I do not think a man who provides financially is his only responsibility. I believe he also needs to invest in his family emotionally and spiritually. Obviously, his time is limited so there needs to be grace there. I am a big component of the father being present with the kids. I think kids who grow up with absent fathers has real hurt, regardless of the reason, legitimate or not. The thing kids remember is that dad wasn’t home and if he was home, he didn’t spend time with them. I think it is detrimental to a child’s upbringing. Children need both a father and a mother’s involvement and influence. It doesn’t matter what a superstar mom you are, it can not replace a father’s love and influence. To me, it is not a mathematical equation of equal work. That is narrow minded. The big picture is that our kids need both mom and dad for flourishing, especially during the younger years. For this reason, the 20 yr argument really doesn’t work. Now that my kids are teenagers, I am working. There is no resting period. As kids get older into adulthood, mothers are still invested (not to the same degree). And of course, as grandkids come into the picture that stage also has responsibilities.

I agree that we generally have our primary roles as mothers and fathers, but this does not mean that men need to come home and do nothing. We should both be engaged with our children and the things that need to be done around the home. I do the housework during the day, but my husband and I BOTH do the evening dishes together while we chat about the day. We BOTH play with the kids and help them brush their teeth and say their prayers. I love to serve my husband, truly I do. I think my desires to serve him actually increase when he also does his best to lighten my load as well.

It's very helpful to me in my homemaking. My husband currently works in a different state from where our kids and I stay. When he comes home to visit he helps alot with the kids and it's such a relief for me. Just before he left he commented that he won't miss waking up early to give them a bath for school. I naturally expect him to help me with chores at home and the care of our children. He has never complained and I've come to expect it. But after he made that comment I started to ask myself what if he starts to expect me to contribute to our family income which is his responsibility. As I expect him to help at home, which is my responsibility.. As I watched this content, it completely resonates with my line of thought. I need to bring out my adjustment tools.

    As a pregnant SAHM with a 2 year old, I was just contemplating exactly what you were talking about regarding the woman working 20 years and then having freedom while the man is responsible for life. Another thing to add is that it’s nice having your children in your twenties. I have many friends who start having kids mid thirties, which that’s totally fine, but they won’t have that freedom until much later. Even if it’s a matter of 7-10 years with kids out of the house, when your older a difference of a decade really matters. I had my first baby when I was 27 and likely my last at 29, and I imagine the last one will be out of the house when I’m 49 at the latest, so that’s a whole decade in my 50s I get for me. I know some people are sad to be empty nesters and don’t know what to do with their time, but I’m actually excited to travel, volunteer, focus on homemaking more etc. when thinking of the entire picture of my life, it makes those really tough times a little easier when having perspective.

    We so easily throw in the isms and make life so complicated. This time ageism in child bearing. Folks will now be pressured to have children in their twenties or something will be wrong with them. Some of us in this age would have thrown out Abraham and Sarah from our circles.

    @@jenniferbrown8568 The problem I see with many of my friends who waited until their 30s (by choice-not counting infertility issues) is they had that taste of 'freedom' & do NOT want to give it up. Plus, they tend to be more tired than a mom in her 20s. My college best friend is a great example. We are both 42. I have been married almost 20 years - I have 19 & 16 yr olds. She has been married 6 yrs with a 5 yr old. In her letters, all she does is complain about not having the freedom to come & go as she pleases & how her child annoys her. She wants alone time. She could not wait to go back to work after maternity leave. She had to have her mom move in to nanny the child & her mom complained to me that she does all the child care - her daughter spends 1 hour a day with him. she asked me once how I could stand to be up all night with a baby, stay home & not have vacations/girls night/work out time...I succinctly told her that I was 10 years younger than her & simply had more energy when they were little. Now, I can come & go as I please. Hubby & I bought a harley davidson & can leave our kids home alone to go riding, dinner, little trips, etc...I never missed the "freedom" in my 20s cuz I wasn't used to having it. I am learning to enjoy it NOW & I am still pretty young. And the great thing is that I am enjoying it with my husband in my 40s, not some random string of boyfriends, trying to find just the right one. This one friend in not an isolated case that I am aware of & they all have the same exact complaints.

    @@athomewithtroy1690 I think what you've described is what most men strive for. Typically, a man wants the best for his family. That segment was more on what if the husband's best is simply not good enough for the wife? She should choose contentment. Even in worse situations where a husband is truly lazy and just does the bare minimum (but is still providing the necessities), I would still encourage that woman to choose contentment so as to not jeopardize her own joy and peace and pray to the Lord about situations beyond her direct control.

    Keep in mind even if he doesn't have a physical job, he might be as mentally drained as you are, if not more. He might be working in a high-stress environment and be keeping a lot of the details from you, he might have a brutal commute, and if he does have a physical job, the older you get the more it takes out of you. For the majority of men, work is just that, work. Very few are lucky enough to have a challenging career they truly love, and when you have a family to support, you have to be a lot more cautious. Most guys mean well and try to help out, but it's just as unfair to expect him to wade right in without a beat and take over after he's been working all day, just as the "second shift" is unfair to women. Also, it's never too early to start kids on the household chores. It should be expected, not something they do for money, so they'll be able to run their own households as adults.

For him, he knows that if he isn’t solid, I can’t be solid. For me, it’s a constant reminder of how important it is to help support him and not ONLY lean on him or try and demand more than he can give. Love this, Bindi.

    I just hate how men try to look down on a stay-at-home mom. Like my father-in-law yes he works outside in all weather and he digs holes but that's all he's doing me as a mother Im mom, chef, house cleaner, personal assistant, teacher, nurse, personal shopper, partner to husband, care giver to 2 toddlers and 5 dogs, entertainer. I'm even technically a financial advisor because although my husband works I'm the one who has to figure out where all the money needs to go to make sure that our bills are paid and we continue to have a place to stay. Like when my father-in-law gets home he gets to relax and just sit down and watch TV and do stuff like that. Me on the other hand I'm literally working 24/7 because right now not only am I pregnant but my one and a half year old is teething therefore she's up most the night crying because she's in pain and mommy is the one handling her. I just wish that men would realize how much we do how long we're doing it and stop trying to say that they're the harder working sex. I'm glad that my husband isn't always like that sometimes he is just because sometimes in order for us to not fall financially he works without a day off but he at least understands that I technically am working a million jobs compared to his one job. Especially when we were both working before we had two kids and pregnant with our third and then we did everything 50/50 and my father-in-law still try to say that he was a harder worker even though I was juggling all the mommy duties on top of also providing for the house.

I homeschool my 4 children and take care of my home so it’s a clean and safe place, do all of the administrative tasks, keep the oil changed in van, and cook most meals. I have a wonderful husband who helps anytime i ask and even when I don’t. But I’m tempted to complain STILL, because he doesn’t complete a task as efficiently as I complete the same task. I’m repenting for that now. I’m taking all that you’ve said into consideration. Thank you for posting.

I grew up in a Christ centered african-american home with my father being the "bread winner" and my mother being a stay at home mother/wife. It's so rare yet refreshing to see women and men that are willing to walk in their natural role. My dad always told my mom that she didn't HAVE to work but she would find small jobs here and there to keep herself occupied as my brother and I got older. I have a strong desire to follow in those footsteps but it's often difficult to meet men that are walking in the natural role as well. Welcome to 2022, I guess. Again, coming across your channel has been delight. Now I know that it is still possible to fully be able to take care of home and family without the stress of being a "boss bae"---according to the world's standard. Thank you.

    This was very interesting. My husband and I have a different set up - for 5 years he was a stay at home dad because I had a greater earning potential. It was so hard on him. He LOVED spending so much time with our kids but he hated not working. Now that all the kids are in school, he returned to the workforce and he is so happy to add financially to the family. Men are wired differently. To the point about helping with the kids - the kids NEED it. They NEED daddy to be involved and help mommy with them and spend time nurturing them too. It teaches them what a good, God loving man is like. It teaches the boys how to grow up to be like that. It teaches the girls what to look for in a partner as they get older. Super super important! Also, kids are only little for so long. He needs to make memories too. ❤️
