i wonder if part of the trad-wave is about being the first generation growing up more or less entirely with working mothers (as we know the concept), i.e. post the 'traditional' nuclear family.

this idea these people are perpetuating isn't that of someone who grew up seeing these family dynamics - it's of a distant ideal. they didn't grow up with miserable homemaker mothers, so they lack the perspective of the downsides and the hard work. they're literally only seeing the idealised post war images.
