Cooking, cleaning, torture the kids – sounds like a to-do list for modern Cinderella.
But instead, it’s the new day job of full-time dad Kerry Johnson. In September, the six-year-old Utah father abandoned a high-paying job – forcing him to work for 60 hours to live a “trade womanhood” life.
Not only did the millennial former health care administrator like his new role as “Tradhusband”, he even praised his mom-like moves to save his marriage.
“I’m very proud to be a housewife,” Kerry, 39, told The Post. “I was able to offer my wife and kids in this new way – I can make sure they go out in their best capacity.”
From raising a family to bakers, husbands like Kerry join buzzing, busy traditional (or “traditional”) wives like Nara Smith, Gretchen Adler and Hannah Neeleman of Ballerina Farm.
They are viral leaders of those who are engaged in the Martini movement – Gals who choose to give up their labor, instead they bring their broods and greet them to the king of the castle.
A name shrouded in controversy, trade trends were criticized for prioritizing Puritan customs in the mid-20th century, when women were considered barefoot and pregnant women rather than bringing bacon home.
But now, according to Pew research data, the kitchen table is turning.
Analysts recently revealed that 23% of married men in the office today said Adios to take care of their families and families in a true trade-oriented style.
Carey’s spouse Sharon served for 14 years, a family appeal due to the family’s roots in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a belief that promotes traditional gender roles in marriage.
But after recently leaving Mormon, the former trader now happily earns a living with health advocacy and content creation, while husbands tend toward their residence and brooding, from 5 to 15 to 15 years old.
“That’s great,” Sharon, 38, told The Post. “I keep the lights and food on the table.”
But that’s not all of their gig switches are good.
Sharon praised Kerry for being “Kerry” because he abandoned male pride to support her career desire, and he said the swap also deepened appreciation for each other.
“Before, we both were fulfilling these roles [former religion] Sharon said that we make us “good wives and moms” or “real men and providers.”
“Now, we’re not going to fit each other in those little gender boxes,” she added. “It’s really free.”
Matt Lundquist, the founder of psychotherapist and founder in Lower Manhattan, confirmed that hanging out in outdated magazines can positively affect married couples.
“Released from the limitations of old ways of doing things, both parties can explore and celebrate different parts of themselves,” said Lundquist, a 20-year relationship expert.
The counselor said Topsy turvy’s reversal is usually a “gift” from one partner to another.

This is the arrangement for Mika and Cameron Laidler. Shortly after the pandemic, he formally gave up his six-figure post in commercial buildings.
“I used to exercise in town, commuting to and from get off work six days a week, and it lasted for 15 years,” Cameron, 38, is the father of a 5-year-old child under the age of 5 from Sacramento, California. “But I don’t want to always lack milestones in the lives of kids.”
Mika, who works in local government, told The Post that it was her thanks for her high school lover, Cameron for her years of sacrifice.
“He supported me financially when I was in college. Now, I’m using my degree to earn the salary our family relies on – so like I’m paying for the investment he’s doing to me,” said Mika, 37.
But for Cameron, giving up on daily grinding is not a cake, his chores and kids fix him on his toes.
The devout man said, “I woke up around 4:00 a.m. to exercise, let us have the oldest preparations to come and prepare breakfast, make breakfast, feed children or do activities.” The devout man said that he often put Mika in bed with coffee before she went to work.
“For the rest of the day, I usually hold a child in one hand while I vacuum one hand or wash clothes with the other,” he admitted.
And his ego is not easily hurt by mean nicknames such as “Family-Mom” or “tradwife” – the words are often thrown by social media trolls.
Like the Duster, he just brushed off the shadows.
“I love being a current parent and husband,” Cameron said. “I just want to do what’s right for my family.”
