Details on 18-year-old ‘dreamed’ of being a wife over a traditional career
Sophie Kelly is aware that her way of living is unusual for women in Generation Z of her age. Her lifelong goals of being a bride and mother are in contrast to many of her peers’ aspirations to attend college and begin working before getting married and starting a family.
When Kelly was married this past July, she expected these kinds of conflicting responses, but the 18-year-old chose not to back down from any uncertainty, criticism, or bewilderment directed at her. Her vlogs on TikTok show her talking candidly about her experiences.
Sophie Kelly admits that her videos might draw the same viewers searching for “tradwife” content—which features married women who chronicle their daily homemaking routines—but she claims she’s not deliberately attempting to fit into any TikTok trends. In contrast to Kelly, the majority of tradwives—many of whom are well-known influencers—have numerous children and actively adhere to “traditional” gender norms, living in subordination to their husbands.
Kelly claims that Jack, her 21-year-old spouse, doesn’t have as much influence over her life. Although he provides for his family, the 18-year-old is adamant that if she chose to start her own career, he would back her.
Additionally, Kelly does have a job, despite what her social media posts indicate.
She works roughly 35 hours a week as a barista, but since the family-run coffee business is currently on “annual summer break,” she is spending her days doing housework.
Sophie Kelly acknowledges that she doesn’t make much money to support their lifestyle, even though she has recently begun to monetize her TikTok work. In one video, Kelly responded to a query regarding her money by explaining that Jack owns his own landscaping business and that they had been able to live well on his wage because of his success (and their affordable rent).
