My Thoughts On The “Passport Bro” Trend!

My dad was like the original passport bro back in the 1970's lol. He was in the military and met my mom when he was stationed in Germany. She was Spanish, but her family immigrated to Germany when she was a little girl. They met at a Disco. My dad was friends with her older brother, and he introduced them. They fell in love and got married and moved back to the US. They had 4 children and were happily married for 41 years until they unfortunately passed away unexpectedly. My mom was a homemaker and taught her daughters how to be good wives. All 3 of us girls are happily married for 18, 12, and 10 years respectively. All of our anniversaries are coming up in the next couple of months so we are nearly at 19, 13, and 11 years. None of us have marriage problems. We are definitely not the stereotypical modern women because we were raised very differently from our American peers.

Please also remember that a traditional woman needs to find a traditional man which is rare these days.

My mom used to work two jobs now she works one. I asked her a few weeks ago if she would have preferred to have been a stay at home mom and wife and she said yes. She said stay at home moms are so lucky they can be with their children take care of their families and not have to deal with stress of a day job. I'm in real estate and I've set a goal to retire her and my dad as soon as possible.

I am a traditional stay at home wife and mother. However, in my 20’s I did live on my own and I did support myself. The reasons being things weren’t all the way healthy and protective at home and getting out was better for me. During that time, learning to survive was one of the best and one of the hardest but I wouldn’t trade it. I learned invaluable lessons about life, myself, finances, and relationships. I support women making choices that are best for their families and themselves.

The problem with a few of these passport bros is that they think women and their families outside of their own country will fall at their feet and be eternally grateful for the chance at marriage with a foreigner. What a few of these passport bros then fail to do is even a minimum of research into the culture of these women. These women may hold traditional family values, but they are no fools and they and their families are not submissive to the point that they'll agree to anyone with supposedly traditional values. They have a list of demands too, theirs is just different from westerners. Some of these passport bros have found out that unlike western women the women demand things like they take financial care of them and (part of) their families. Also, in muslim culture any money the wife might have or earn is hers alone and can't really be used to take care of the family, the husband has to do that. They may demand that they convert to their religion. They demand a bridal price etc etc.

Don't get it twisted, even traditional women outside of the western world have demands and aren't as submissive as some think they are.

Just want to point out that not every family has young women or men's best interest at heart, also not every family has the wisdom os mental capacity to give guidance. Every situation is different.

I am a female from the Philippines who came to the US at 17 for college and lived at home briefly with my family while working but now live alone in the US with a director level career. I think she is convoluting living at home with parents with "not wanting a career and independence". There are lots of Asian American females who live at home with their families in the US to save money for a down payment and they also have careers and independence. As for Filipino wives, to be very blunt, many of them want a ticket out of poverty. They don't want to marry these passport bros just to be a stay at home mom. They want to marry them to get out of the Philippines or to get financial support for their families in the Philippines. In fact, once you reach a higher socio economic level, there is greater gender parity in the Philippines than the US. The chairperson of the largest bank? Female. President of the largest insurance company? Female. Two female presidents of the republic. It's so normal to see Filipina women in positions of power that it doesn't attract attention domestically that way a female US vice president does. If the Filipina wives could work in the US (they had credentials that transfer over) they probably would work unless their husbands prevent them OR were alreadt multi millionaires

I can definitely say being from and living in Italy (and being married to an American christian man) that our traditional values are still much more intact here. Unfortunately influence from the western world has arrived and is eroding our culture, but you can still find men and women here who adhere to traditional roles and values. Visiting the US and seeing how American women behave was a real shock for me...

I’ve always told my children they can and SHOULD live with me until they’re married. I hope they do!!

[mywanderingnest]

Also remember...a lot of parents literally kick out their kids right out of high school because..."that's what I did" and "pull yourself up with your boot straps" even telling this to their daughters...

I wish I was lucky enough to stay with my parents and be supported, but I’ve been abused as a child all the way into my teenage years and I’m talking chased with a knife beaten, psychologically and emotionally abused and borderline sexually abused. I got lucky I found a loving husband that brings me up emotionally and supports me even when things get hard.

Hi Estee! I just wanted to let you know I love your lifestyle and I’ve been living my life very similar to you for my entire 22 years of marriage! I didn’t even realize being a “tradwife” was a thing but I’m am super proud to be one! Thank you for sharing the tradwife style with everyone, we need more beautiful souls like you in this world! The world would be a happier place and men and women both would have so much more fulfillment. God Bless You, Estee! ❤

Honesty they can have these American men 😂

Passport bros are going to Eastern Europe, NOT Western Europe.... BIG Difference!

[topaz]

Many of the passport bros are going to Eastern Europe and poor countries in Asia and South America. Those girls aren’t stupid and know what those men are up to.

My mom has been a homemaker for 47 years, she is great but also she is sad and frustrated cause she couldn't go to college, she is such a brilliant woman with a lot of interests, but when she was young she didn't had the support of her family to continue studying. My dad is a good man and a good provider, but my mom will die without knowing what is like to spend the life doing what is your passion.

I have been married 42 years to the same man. I am a traditional wife. We have a partnership and no one ever needs to be submissive they have to be RESPECTFUL and make all family based decisions TOGETHER. I have a degree and have a part time job that I have had in my home designing costumes for thirty years and I take care of the house. I have two children, one is a financial planner and one is a maritime atty and both are happily married. Yes you can have it all if you put the work in.❤️

My uncle married a woman from the Philippines. They have three kids together and an amazing life but she's not traditional, she runs a successful business. I think they're drawn to eachother because they're both high achievers and business orientated. Their kids are also expected to be. Meanwhile I was brought up in a traditional home in the uk 🤷🏼‍♀️ alot of British women are happy to be traditional wives but it's expensive so not many are plus most men that ONLY accept stay at home wives are controlling and abusive. That's honestly why a lot of women don't want to do it because then they will be trapped and not be able to leave if Mr right becomes Mr wrong.
