A mum has faced backlash after saying that she is teaching her daughter to ‘serve’ her family

Jasmine Dinis is a self-proclaimed ‘traditional wife’ and is hoping that her daughter will follow in her footsteps.

The Australian has shared her lifestyle on TikTok, where she boasts over 145,000 followers.

“I’m teaching my daughter that it’s perfectly acceptable to depend on a man and that serving her husband and bearing children will be her greatest joy,” she wrote in one video.

“In a world full of women teaching their children that their only goal is to go to university, get a good job and make money, I’m teaching my little girl to live a slow life, to be a biblical women that wants a husband and a beautiful family that she can serve daily,” she captioned another.

“That joy comes from God and family, not from a career.”

With over 1.4 million views, the video has garnered a lot of debate in the comments section.

“What if her husband leaves her and she is left with no education no work experience no money,” one person wrote.

A second person put: “I hope you will support her in other career options if she expresses she doesn’t want what you wanted.”

While a third said: “SO SO SO glad I was taught the exact opposite.”

“You don’t know what her biggest joy will be. Let her decide on her own,” a fourth said.

However, not everyone was outraged at Dinis’ views.

“This is absolutely beautiful,” one person wrote.

A second said: “You’re an incredible mother and living this way is fulfilling in the deepest level.”

“She’s teaching her daughter there is still empowerment in creating a home. If it doesn’t apply to you that’s fine,” a third put.
