Hannah Neeleman, 34, was an aspiring ballerina studying at Juilliard when she met her now-husband, Daniel, 35, who insisted they get married and start a family prior to her graduation.
Hannah Neeleman and her husband Daniel live with their kids, Henry, 12, Charles, 10, George, 9, Frances, 7, Lois, 5, Martha, 3, Mabel, 2, and Flora, six months, on a 328-acre farm in Utah.A Mormon mom dubbed “queen of the trad wives” is speaking out about her life on a remote ranch raising eight children, where she milks cows, makes food from scratch and gives birth without pain relief.
“We are traditional in the sense that it’s a man and a woman, we have children, but I do feel like we’re paving a lot of paths that haven’t been paved before,” she stated.The multi-faceted mom-of-eight defies any easy labeling. While she cooks and cleans for her kids, she also runs a wildly successful Instagram account that makes her a lucrative salary. She’s also a pageant queen with a penchant for milking cows.
The lifestyle has become coveted among some working moms who feel increasingly burned out by the juggle of child-rearing and climbing the corporate ladder.However, critics say trad wives perniciously promote regressive gender roles, with the long-term aim of rolling back women’s rights and freedoms, confining them to the kitchen.
Case in point: Neeleman’s father-in-law is the billionaire businessman David Neeleman, who founded JetBlue Airways. The mom shops for all the family’s groceries and makes every meal from scratch. Daniel, meanwhile, helps out with housework and does all of the children’s laundry.
