Mckenna, 23, who spends her days looking after her children, cooking and cleaning, enjoys her traditional lifestyle, however, she claimed that it makes people ‘mad’.
She explained that nasty trolls say she is a ‘slave’ and claim she ‘threw her life away’.
Posting on social media, Mckenna opened up about her lifestyle, leaving many open-mouthed.
In the short clip, we saw the mum-of-two sitting on the sofa alongside her children, as she shared: “Yes I married my man at 18.
“Yes I had two kids by 22.
“Yes I’m pregnant with number three at 23.”
She then added: “Yes I’m a tradwife and I actually adore and trust my husband to lead.
“Yes I’m a Christian.
“I don’t understand why that makes people so mad.”
Mckenna later shared: “I feel sorry for those who don’t know Jesus or have a healthy marriage or beautiful family.”
She also opened up on the hate she receives as a result of being a traditional housewife, as she admitted: “I’ve been told I’m worthless, a slave, I threw my life away, my man’s gonna cheat, I should have my kids taken away, or that my unborn baby should die.
“I seriously don’t get it.
“Some people are incredibly bitter and mean towards my lifestyle.”
What is a tradwife?
A tradwife (short for traditional wife) is a woman who chooses to take on an ultra traditional role in marriage, meaning she makes dinner and looks pretty whilst her husband goes to work.
The trend takes inspiration from the idea of a 1950s housewife.
Many tradwives choose to dress in the style of clothing popular in this period (think floral dresses and frumpy cardigans).
Additionally, the values considered important to tradwvies are similar to strict Christian values.
Tradwives state that they are not forced into this way of life, and believe that it is their purpose to be homemakers.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @mckenna.mamaof3, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 40,500 views.
But Mckenna’s clip has left people totally divided – while some were happy for her, others weren’t keen on her lifestyle.
One person said: “I actually envy this lifestyle. I’ve always wanted to be a tradwife.”
Another added: “I’m so happy you’re living the life of your dreams.”
A third commented: “I think you’re doing what is right and proper for your family. Ignore the haters.”
At the same time, someone else claimed: “I would never ever want a life like that.”
I have ZERO desire for a career
Mckenna, 23
Meanwhile another chimed in: “It’s not anger, it’s concern. You need to plan for all eventualities. We all do.”
And when asked: “No career?”, Mckenna replied: “I’m raising the next generation and creating a loving, welcoming home for my family.
“I have ZERO desire for a career.”
