In a world that celebrates independence and ambition, one mother believes true fulfillment comes from faith, family, and devotion.
Australian mom Jasmine Dinis has gone viral after revealing she’s teaching her young daughter that “it’s perfectly acceptable to depend on a man.” The stay-at-home mother proudly calls herself a “traditional wife” and says she’s raising her child to one day find joy in serving her husband and nurturing her home.
“I’m teaching my little girl to live a slow life — to be a biblical woman,” Jasmine shared. “Joy comes from God and family, not from a career.”
Her words divided the internet. Some called her message “dangerous” and “anti-feminist,” arguing that she’s deciding her daughter’s future too soon. “You don’t know what her biggest joy will be,” one commenter wrote. Others, however, saw beauty in her lifestyle, praising her for “bringing back traditional values” in a modern world that often looks down on homemakers.
Jasmine, who has over 145,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram, says her goal isn’t to limit her daughter — but to show that serving others can also be powerful. For her, being a wife and mother isn’t submission — it’s purpose.
Whether you agree or not, her story taps into something deeply human: the timeless struggle between freedom and tradition, self and service, love and independence.
