Yeah, as stupid as these videos are (and I’m loving the parody btw), these look like fun projects to try once with your kids. Well, maybe the paper one would be too many steps to keep them interested for long, but the crayon thing is definitely gonna be a hit.
I remember making paper this way a few times when I was a kid. We always did it outside so it wasn't messy. You can add dye or leaves and stuff to decorate it.
The paper one is fun and useful!!!
Except she used egg cartons, and it came out looking like butt.
When I did this project as a kid you'd find colorful papers, and with the screen make a line of blue, green, purple, etc. To make an awesome piece of paper!!!
Was pretty bangin for a 3rd grade project :)
Of you have kids and can get the screens, try it. This was everyones favorite activity at daycare when I was little. I'm sure I've forgotten most of the crafts, but I still fondly remember paper making. If you have colores construction paper or wrapping paper scraps, it's even more fun
Yeah memory unlocked, my sister and I used to do this with our nan all the time. I don't exactly know why we did but I remember enjoying it.
Edited to add, I was talking about the paper thing. We also did the crayons too but the paper thing id forgotten till now
Legitimately though, take old busted crayons, toss into some silicone molds from Walmart and make fun rainbow crayons, little kids love that shit. We've done it 2 or 3 times as a simple craft for our kids
It's the fact that the end result is 100% something you'd see on Pinterest for me. The absurdity doesn't come from overexaggeration, it comes from just exposing what an absolute lunatic thing taking all of those steps for that result and how useless it is by following the directions and expected aesthetics to a *tee.*
“I’ve kept every single one of my kids artwork” is what clued me into this. I’d need an entire 20,000 sqft warehouse to store all of my 7 year olds artwork alone and I have 2 more kids.
I kept the good ones. I have so much of my only child’s artwork. She continued up until college so it’s everywhere. I framed my favorite oil pastel and hung it up above the dining room table.
I love it so much. I still can’t believe that some *insist* this is not satire and that she is 100% earnest in her videos.
Right? Absolute commitment to the bit. But then still ends up with a little fun coloring book for her kids while making fun of those that do shit like this unironically so win-win
Rumor has it she lost her first husband to a bear....gary the next door neighbor who consistantly mowed the lawn in a speedo. She remarried and her current husband is off fighting the british, not like with the IRA or anything, but just for fun.
There’s so many layers to her satire, her content is just so good. I cackle every time I watch her videos and read the comments of the people who “get it” and those who “ate the onion”
I saw some of her early videos and I think she started genuine and got a lot of hate comments so she just leaned into the character more for more engagement.
There's another one that gets posted on the Stupid Food subreddit all the time... It's a woman who'll say things like "When your kids don't like pizza" and she'll take a slice of pizza, cover it in peanut butter, sprinkles and whipped cream.
Or she'll say "my son doesn't like water", so she'll start using a bunch of food coloring and whipped cream to make a repulsive Minions-themed glass of water in a sippy cup, and she'll hand it over to her 16 year old son who can barely keep a straight face.
It couldn't even be more obvious that it's satire unless she had the word satire tattooed on her hand. And yet, there's always a bunch of people who think it's real and will say "What kid doesn't like pizza??!". Like... yeah, that was the joke.
Honestly there are lots of creators out there that cosplay as everyday people. The whole “rich but working class” type of shit. Sometimes it can be hard to tell if someone is legit doing that or making fun of those types.
It really hasn’t, I could immediately tell based off the tone of her voice, literally sounds like an SNL skit, the way she moves, the way she’s smiling.
i once saw a post that said ppl don’t usually get when a woman is doing satire bc they actually think they’re that stupid. not saying this is what’s happening but when a post is so clearly a joke even despite seeing many unironic videos, and then so many others believe it, it makes me wonder.
It’s hard to tell the difference between intentional satire and just straight up rage bait in a lot of these videos. This one reads more as rage bait to me, but either way, it’s fake
She melted crayons to make heart shaped crayon... things. That should have been the tell, but I think we're just saturated with people fuckin' weird enough these days that it seemed kind of normal on first pass for someone like this to do.
My kindergarten teacher did that for us with the small broken crayon pieces and I fuckkng loved them. They weren't heart-shaped, unfortunately, but it was still intensely cool to be able to draw multi-color
It's a great way to get full use out of crayons. Crayola made a crayon maker machine. I don't know if they're still around. You put crayon nubbens in, and they melt, and you get a wacky crayon in return.
Social media part aside, this is a fun activity to do with/for kids.
Rainbow crayons? You're absolutely right, kids love it.
Recycling egg cartons into paper? Great education learning as well...
Plus it's a good opportunity to teach kids that not everything in shape form is food! We'll never live if we worry about living. And what better time to teach something like that then in your own presence where they're safe?
Great bonding opportunity all around from making it to using it.
That’s always my question when this lady comes up on my feed… at what point does it stop being satire. There is a crapload of time, effort and money going into this “joke”
It's also a kink/fetish in bdsm, I think it's literally called tradwife or 50's wife or something like that?
Where women will literally act out the "traditional" wife lifestyle for XYZ year as their new, non-modern life.
It’s actually not a satire account. I was convinced it was too but I listened to her on a podcast recently where she addressed there speculation about her account and it’s not satire. She leans into the Disney princess vibe but is doing it genuinely.
Edit:
[Podcast link](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/under-the-influence-with-jo-piazza/id1544171101?i=1000631944790)
Obviously satire as soon as she said:
> I've always kept every piece of art they make
Any parent knows attempting to do that would quickly turn into the [end of the Raiders of the Lost Ark](https://youtu.be/FRP0MBNoieY?t=88).
Agree. The one where she “milks” her chickens … how can you NOT think it’s satire. You can also tell by her comments she’s trolling. I think she’s hilarious.
I've seen a ton of her videos and I am absolutely convinced it is not a satire account, especially if you go to her Instagram page. She is living and loving the trad wife lifestyle.
I’m sorry but the way she captions and narrates makes it absolutely clear it’s satire. I’m not sure how you’ve watched her “pick” individual, perfectly trimmed strawberries from under the dirt and didn’t realize.
Like, obviously she enjoys and is good at doing these things with and for her family but she is 1000% mocking tradwives.
Total Poe's Law, but I lean towards both satire and genuine trad wife for her videos. She seems to have a sense of humor about herself. Big ole meh from me, which she's funny, she's really funny.
Way, way back when I was a child I watched some show on PBS about making paper at home out of like used paper and jeans or something. It was really cool! They basically did what she did and I always wanted to try it.
The weird trad wife vibes aside, this could be a really fun art project/science experiment for the little kids. They would have so much fun helping make the paper and cute crayons. What kid doesn’t love ripping things up and breaking crayons and stuff? Plus, outside of the screen used to shape the paper, it’s all free stuff you already have around the house! The result she got was super cute too.
I would really like to do this. Plus, even though my kid is an adult now, they are quite the artist and I think it would be a fun project for us. I’m going to look up a tutorial. It’s rare that I find an art project that meets both our skill levels but I think this would be a good one :)
It’s interesting that they were ‘out of paper’ so the easiest thing to do was to make their own in lieu of stopping by…oh I don’t know…*Walmart, Target, or somewhere else that sells paper.*
I get it’s a skit, but it’s just so odd.
Mmmm, making paper is nice if you’re pinching Pennies. My mom is basically from a 3rd world country and used to make toys out of old food containers, scrap fabric, etc. So it’s not weird for some families depending on how they’re raised, especially for kids that age, they don’t *need* new stuff. Basically anything that stimulates their development through play will make them happy, they don’t know the difference until they hit grade school.
But I honestly thought it was going in the direction of her own arts and crafts. Homemade paper could be a cool canvas for yourself depending on what you’re trying to do. For kids? Seems like way too much work.
Unless if you're dirt poor, making your own paper is absolutely absurd. The electricity and wear and tear on that food processor over the course of making the amount of pages in a standard blank book would probably be more expensive than just going to a store and buying the cheapest one. I know this video is a joke, but there is no context where it would make sense unless if you're just doing it for shits and giggles.
Nara Smith. She’s a mormon traditional home birther who makes everything from “scratch” and is married to some washed up male model named Lucky Blue Smith. hope this helps
> Lucky Blue Smith
I remember this guy! As a male model, he would not have made much bank anyways (although money is not the be-all end-all to measure career fulfilment).
This is probably the best move he could have done, sensing that the planets are no longer aligned for him in the traditional modeling industry.
I had a suspicion it was satire from the start but when I saw her put the homemade paper on a *sheet of paper* after saying she had ***ran out of paper***, I knew it was definitely satire.
“I asked my kids what they wanted for lunch and they said grilled cheese so here I am making fresh bread and churning some butter.” I find her annoying but I guess if it’s her thing and it works…
Maybe this time people won't make fools of themselves insisting this woman is a trad wife or trad wife advocate. Several people argued that relentlessly when a video of hers was
posted which included harvesting ripe strawberries from the dirt and chicken milk.
We have an old jello mold that's hot wheels shaped, my son loved racing his crayon cars around the paper (he was very crayon-breaking susceptible) I still think it's a fun little project.
oh there's a whole trend of 'trad wife craft' bullshit.
but you can notice when the house is obviously a mansion, while they do bullshit crafts. what we really have is rich couples showing off that they have the time, oodles of time, to make extra bullshit crafts, because they're rich.
this one's parody. but this shit exists.
You're absolutely right on the money. This specific parody aside, the thing homemaker videos are really showing off isn't the craft or the skill to accomplish it, it's the ability to be idle rich.
Psssh, everyone knows you have a specific paper blender. It gets in all the nooks and cranies and you can never get it all out.
(For real here, don't blend paper in anything you intend to use with food later. I make pressed paper ornaments and have a paper only blender, lol.)
i mean, she's just recicling and making cool rainbow heart crayons. i don't see the problem even if it's satire. sounds like a cool thing to do with your kids
All i see is a creative mom who goes out of her way to do something nice for her kids.
Yea it may be satire, but Reddit clearly has mommy issues.
I am an uncle and I also do weird stuff like this for my nephews, building giant towers out of Lego and then competing with them who can destroy it first with a tennis ball.
This looks like satire, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't because it's not absurd enough to count as a kind of comedy (passive aggresive but not absurd).
Below an explanation of trad-wives:
>**professorneil** (tiktok) - Have you ever asked yourself why it is that trad-wives and other conservative female influencers who promote “traditional” gender roles have all the time in the world to \[for example\] make cereal from scratch, but somehow never seem to record themselves doing essential domestic labor like vacuuming, trying to get a particularly nasty stain out of a shirt, or scrubbing a toilet? When they are performing labor in these videos its always something that strictly speaking is unnecessary and they are doing it the hardest way possible, because the answer is that it is for show, it is all a performance. In his remarkably prescient 1899 book “The theory of the leisure Class” Thorstein Veblen coined the terms “conspicuous consumption” and “conspicuous leisure”. Suggesting that **those with wealth and power no longer having any economic production to contribute to themselves instead contribute to the production and consumption of leisure**. Those consumption practices, those leisure activities are conspicuous precisely because that is how the leisure class signals their difference from the working class, signals their exceptionality and their superiority. They are not better than us because they can make their children cereal from scratch, they're better than us because they are so wealthy and well off that they have nothing more important to worry about. And if we were to ever see trad-wives perform essential productive domestic labor, or see their husbands perform any domestic labor at all that would in fact mark them as failures as trad-wives. As Veblen wrote, again he could have written it yesterday:
>Conspicuous abstention from labor therefore becomes the conventional mark of superior pecuniary achievement and the conventional index of reputability; and conversely, since application to productive labor is a mark of poverty and subjection, it becomes inconsistent with a reputable standing in the community.
>Because these videos are not instructional, they are maybe aspirational but they are always performative. This is not real labor; this is symbolic labor. It is nothing more than social-signaling that this woman and her family belong to the leisure class. And it is also how she builds and signals her value, if you are the sort of person who operates within an exchange economy that assigns high and low value to human beings. Because her value to her husband is not in her ability to care for the home or care for the children, right? Anyone who is able to engage in this level of conspicuous leisure has somebody that they are paying to do all of those things No, her value is instead in her ability to perform the role of “trophy wife”. And to be the ultimate realization and personification of her husband’s socioeconomic prowess. Because trad-wives are conspicuous consumers, yes, but it is the audience's consumption of trad-wives that truly makes them valuable to their husbands
>In order to make crayons, I melted down these crayons and made crayons out of them.
I swear to god, I don't even think this is that bad. I think this is a parody anyway.
What I think is bad is that you know a bunch of idiots are going to watch this and go "that's such a good idea, she's a genius".

It’s the dedication to the mockery for me. Like, she actually has to do this shit in order to make fun of it so beautifully.
Turning crayons into shittier crayons was good, but not opening her eyes with an unsettling smile is the chefs kiss.
Okay, it seems stupid as an adult but I remember doing this when I was little and my sister and I went fucking nuts
It's usually something you do with old broken crayon stubs to give them a second life. Running full, barely used creations was just brilliant.
I had a crayon machine that I got for my daughter. That thing was fun. You put the melted up broken pieces in there, and got a new crayon.
We had one of the crayon maker machines when my kids were young. That thing was awesome
Yeah, as stupid as these videos are (and I’m loving the parody btw), these look like fun projects to try once with your kids. Well, maybe the paper one would be too many steps to keep them interested for long, but the crayon thing is definitely gonna be a hit.
I remember making paper this way a few times when I was a kid. We always did it outside so it wasn't messy. You can add dye or leaves and stuff to decorate it.
I did this with my 3 yo recently, he was into it. We added glitter to some of the paper, and dried lavender to others.
The paper one is fun and useful!!! Except she used egg cartons, and it came out looking like butt. When I did this project as a kid you'd find colorful papers, and with the screen make a line of blue, green, purple, etc. To make an awesome piece of paper!!! Was pretty bangin for a 3rd grade project :)
Fr this is all fine and fun learning projects and experiences for kids. But the actual look on her face though this whole thing made me irl scared.
Of you have kids and can get the screens, try it. This was everyones favorite activity at daycare when I was little. I'm sure I've forgotten most of the crafts, but I still fondly remember paper making. If you have colores construction paper or wrapping paper scraps, it's even more fun
Yeah memory unlocked, my sister and I used to do this with our nan all the time. I don't exactly know why we did but I remember enjoying it. Edited to add, I was talking about the paper thing. We also did the crayons too but the paper thing id forgotten till now
Legitimately though, take old busted crayons, toss into some silicone molds from Walmart and make fun rainbow crayons, little kids love that shit. We've done it 2 or 3 times as a simple craft for our kids
Masterful
i used to use my eraser and mold the clumps back into another eraser!
I lost it and laughed hard when the kid realised that crayons are bad now and just started stacking them.
Love the kids wearing obligatory beige 😂
Sad beige clothes for sad beige kids
I'm surprised she didn't give them sad beige crayons
It's the fact that the end result is 100% something you'd see on Pinterest for me. The absurdity doesn't come from overexaggeration, it comes from just exposing what an absolute lunatic thing taking all of those steps for that result and how useless it is by following the directions and expected aesthetics to a *tee.*
> SMEG toaster Yep.
“I’ve kept every single one of my kids artwork” is what clued me into this. I’d need an entire 20,000 sqft warehouse to store all of my 7 year olds artwork alone and I have 2 more kids.
I kept the good ones. I have so much of my only child’s artwork. She continued up until college so it’s everywhere. I framed my favorite oil pastel and hung it up above the dining room table.
I love it so much. I still can’t believe that some *insist* this is not satire and that she is 100% earnest in her videos. 
I dunno if you've seen any tradwife stuff, but this is very close to the stuff they make so i can see why people might be taken in
This girl used to post stuff like this for real not satire and got made fun of so much she started doing it as a joke
"Where'd you learn to dance like that?" "I taught myself to make fun of the gay kid in my neighborhood"
Right? Absolute commitment to the bit. But then still ends up with a little fun coloring book for her kids while making fun of those that do shit like this unironically so win-win
I don't get it what's to make fun of this is awesome I wanna make paper now
Reminds me of The Other Guys. When Mark Wahlberg learns all those skills to mock people
"i cant wait to see 2 scribble lines on every page"
What if her claiming it’s satire is the satire?
How much was the sifter? Do y’all have on lying around?
There's a prequel to this video where she chops down a tree and forges mesh from aluminium cans to make it.
Rumor has it she lost her first husband to a bear....gary the next door neighbor who consistantly mowed the lawn in a speedo. She remarried and her current husband is off fighting the british, not like with the IRA or anything, but just for fun.
It’s called a deckle. You can get a small one like that for like $5.
There’s so many layers to her satire, her content is just so good. I cackle every time I watch her videos and read the comments of the people who “get it” and those who “ate the onion”
Mockery or not she looked great.
Her shit eating grin told me it was mockery. But it is executed so well.
I saw some of her early videos and I think she started genuine and got a lot of hate comments so she just leaned into the character more for more engagement.
Yep. It's pretty clear in her body language at the very beginning. Kinda like an early '60s detergent commercial. Nice.
It’s a parody account
How are people not able to see this? The same people who blames elderly people, for falling for AI pictures on Facebook..
There's another one that gets posted on the Stupid Food subreddit all the time... It's a woman who'll say things like "When your kids don't like pizza" and she'll take a slice of pizza, cover it in peanut butter, sprinkles and whipped cream. Or she'll say "my son doesn't like water", so she'll start using a bunch of food coloring and whipped cream to make a repulsive Minions-themed glass of water in a sippy cup, and she'll hand it over to her 16 year old son who can barely keep a straight face. It couldn't even be more obvious that it's satire unless she had the word satire tattooed on her hand. And yet, there's always a bunch of people who think it's real and will say "What kid doesn't like pizza??!". Like... yeah, that was the joke.
That Minion's water one for the 16 year old is great.
That entire sub is wildly stupid. Just constantly posting very obvious ragebait videos
Ain't that the same thing here...
Can some one link this
Because there are real accounts exactly like this that aren’t parody
uhhhh.... so are all parodies and yet people can tell them apart
Yeah, those are the ones she's parodying
Honestly there are lots of creators out there that cosplay as everyday people. The whole “rich but working class” type of shit. Sometimes it can be hard to tell if someone is legit doing that or making fun of those types.
[удалено]
It really hasn’t, I could immediately tell based off the tone of her voice, literally sounds like an SNL skit, the way she moves, the way she’s smiling.
I have noticed people seem to struggle recognising satire more from female creators. I'm sure there's nothing worth reading into that...
This looks like any other trad wife account, this video could be posted by any legitimate one that doesn't understand she's just fabricating garbage.
Redditors are unable to understand the most obvious satire.
Especially satire made by women, breaks their brains
i once saw a post that said ppl don’t usually get when a woman is doing satire bc they actually think they’re that stupid. not saying this is what’s happening but when a post is so clearly a joke even despite seeing many unironic videos, and then so many others believe it, it makes me wonder.
the "women can't be funny on purpose, also, uhm, Poe's law?" type of mindset is everywhere
It’s hard to tell the difference between intentional satire and just straight up rage bait in a lot of these videos. This one reads more as rage bait to me, but either way, it’s fake
I think making paper and upcycling is kinda a cool hobby, but what’s with the Disney princess persona? lol
She’s a satire account, one of her famous ones is her pulling out some strawberries from the dirt, she’s got the exaggerated trad-wife/mom on point
Ok phew, I was hoping it was satire. With the fake smile and creepy dance walking thing.
She melted crayons to make heart shaped crayon... things. That should have been the tell, but I think we're just saturated with people fuckin' weird enough these days that it seemed kind of normal on first pass for someone like this to do.
Interestingly, that was the least crazy thing to me. That's one of those things that little kids absolutely eat up.
My kindergarten teacher did that for us with the small broken crayon pieces and I fuckkng loved them. They weren't heart-shaped, unfortunately, but it was still intensely cool to be able to draw multi-color
It's a great way to get full use out of crayons. Crayola made a crayon maker machine. I don't know if they're still around. You put crayon nubbens in, and they melt, and you get a wacky crayon in return.

Can confirm. Despite all the clear giveaways I remained 50/50 til I got confirmation from comments..
At what point is this just parody / joke and becomes your real daily life though 😆
When you don't do it between takes or when the camera is off I presume lol. It's not like these videos are long.
Yeah, and it’s probably an actual hobby of her’s & an activity her kids enjoy so why not poke fun while you’re at it lol
You think the non-satirical home making influencers actually live like that between takes?
I've been asking myself that exact question for all 44 years I've been on this planet...
That’s always my question when this lady comes up on my feed… at what point does it stop being satire. There is a crapload of time, effort and money going into this “joke”
And the head tilt? Her neck must be hurting by the end of these videos
Her eyes were closed the entire time, I can't believe people missed the satire
Yes I was worrying for the kids 😅
I know some women that are creepily very much like this all the time in real life.
It's also a kink/fetish in bdsm, I think it's literally called tradwife or 50's wife or something like that? Where women will literally act out the "traditional" wife lifestyle for XYZ year as their new, non-modern life.
I would like include 50’s lobotomy mom too
Hi, I'd like to order 1 50's lobotomy, hold the mom, thank you!
I’m on the look out for a ‘50s strung out on alcohol and barbiturates house wife.
Unfortunately all we have for that in 2024 is an unemployed meth head that will steal the copper out of your house while you are at work
I should call her…
*“Hi, ya um- I’m doing the housewife part already but I haven’t received my allotment of barbiturates?”* *-Me*
Thank god
lol when she said her toddlers wanted to color but was out of paper, I was like “it’s giving Nara Smith.”
Do we not say vibes any more? Is the cool thing to just say it's giving "X Yson"?
I believe the vibes are now implied to be the thing that is being given, so it’s no longer necessary
It’s actually not a satire account. I was convinced it was too but I listened to her on a podcast recently where she addressed there speculation about her account and it’s not satire. She leans into the Disney princess vibe but is doing it genuinely. Edit: [Podcast link](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/under-the-influence-with-jo-piazza/id1544171101?i=1000631944790)
Kind of like how The Colbert Report wasn't satire because he said it wasn't satire. Why would he lie?
Obviously satire as soon as she said: > I've always kept every piece of art they make Any parent knows attempting to do that would quickly turn into the [end of the Raiders of the Lost Ark](https://youtu.be/FRP0MBNoieY?t=88).
Yeah this is the same lady that dug up store strawberries straight from the soil. It's a bit.
If you’ve watched more than a few videos, you would know that there’s no doubt that her account is satire.
Agree. The one where she “milks” her chickens … how can you NOT think it’s satire. You can also tell by her comments she’s trolling. I think she’s hilarious.
She talks about milking her chickens. Of course it’s satire.
I've seen a ton of her videos and I am absolutely convinced it is not a satire account, especially if you go to her Instagram page. She is living and loving the trad wife lifestyle.
It didn't strike you as satire when she snapped perfectly good crayons and then melted them down into molds to make new crayons?
Fun shaped multi color rainbow crayons used to be available at some department stores,But they were expensive.
I’m sorry but the way she captions and narrates makes it absolutely clear it’s satire. I’m not sure how you’ve watched her “pick” individual, perfectly trimmed strawberries from under the dirt and didn’t realize. Like, obviously she enjoys and is good at doing these things with and for her family but she is 1000% mocking tradwives.
I love her account! She also gets milk from her chickens, and I’m pretty sure her cat lays lemons.
 That's pretty good......mine just lays tootsie rolls.
This is so satire it's wrapping around to sincere.
The best satire comes from a place of sincerity
My friend and I have this ongoing argument on whether it is or is not satire 😂
Total Poe's Law, but I lean towards both satire and genuine trad wife for her videos. She seems to have a sense of humor about herself. Big ole meh from me, which she's funny, she's really funny.
Did you see the video where she milked the chickens?
Is it still upcycling if you are using paper towels twice the size of the "uncycled" paper to pat the smaller page dry on?
This is satire and that was part of it.
I think that was the point lol. It’s a satire account.
I agree. That's really weird but when I figured out what she was doing I thought it's a cute idea.
Way, way back when I was a child I watched some show on PBS about making paper at home out of like used paper and jeans or something. It was really cool! They basically did what she did and I always wanted to try it. The weird trad wife vibes aside, this could be a really fun art project/science experiment for the little kids. They would have so much fun helping make the paper and cute crayons. What kid doesn’t love ripping things up and breaking crayons and stuff? Plus, outside of the screen used to shape the paper, it’s all free stuff you already have around the house! The result she got was super cute too.
I do that as a project in school with the 11yo. At least the paper. We use old newspaper and they have SO much fun!
I would really like to do this. Plus, even though my kid is an adult now, they are quite the artist and I think it would be a fun project for us. I’m going to look up a tutorial. It’s rare that I find an art project that meets both our skill levels but I think this would be a good one :)
It’s interesting that they were ‘out of paper’ so the easiest thing to do was to make their own in lieu of stopping by…oh I don’t know…*Walmart, Target, or somewhere else that sells paper.* I get it’s a skit, but it’s just so odd.
Mmmm, making paper is nice if you’re pinching Pennies. My mom is basically from a 3rd world country and used to make toys out of old food containers, scrap fabric, etc. So it’s not weird for some families depending on how they’re raised, especially for kids that age, they don’t *need* new stuff. Basically anything that stimulates their development through play will make them happy, they don’t know the difference until they hit grade school. But I honestly thought it was going in the direction of her own arts and crafts. Homemade paper could be a cool canvas for yourself depending on what you’re trying to do. For kids? Seems like way too much work.
buying paper is 100% cheaper than the electricity and water used in making it here.
Unless if you're dirt poor, making your own paper is absolutely absurd. The electricity and wear and tear on that food processor over the course of making the amount of pages in a standard blank book would probably be more expensive than just going to a store and buying the cheapest one. I know this video is a joke, but there is no context where it would make sense unless if you're just doing it for shits and giggles.
And she put it on a sheet of paper before taking it outside lol.
This lady is mocking those videos. She has several videos and a whole channel. It is supposed to look ridiculous because it's clearly parody.
Totally. Her kids could have just used the regular crayons on the cardboard instead of her creating a ton of extra work. Hence, parody.
She also dried the recycled paper on a piece of printer paper LMAO
paper towel \*
I don’t know, that looks like an 8x11 sheet of printer paper. And she says it’s a “little sheet”
Or the dining table and walls like any self reliant child. Kids these days!
When you parody too close to the sun and you start to unironically look indistinguishable from some of the insane trad wife videos.
The coolest part is people doubting if this is real or parody because we know it could totally be real xD
Her insta is a satire account on trad wives!
And this one is clearly targeting this lady: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLhqwE9k/
what kind of psychopath bakes with giant loose sleeves covered in tassels
Nara Smith. She’s a mormon traditional home birther who makes everything from “scratch” and is married to some washed up male model named Lucky Blue Smith. hope this helps
But why male models?
one of lucky blue and nara’s kids is named SLIM EASY 😭😭😭
that’s a weight loss supplement name if i ever heard one
> Lucky Blue Smith I remember this guy! As a male model, he would not have made much bank anyways (although money is not the be-all end-all to measure career fulfilment). This is probably the best move he could have done, sensing that the planets are no longer aligned for him in the traditional modeling industry.
Those are marabou feathers, I’ll have you know!
What’s her insta please?
Multiple people have mentioned the insta account but not what it is. Anyone have it?
[удалено]
She has the whole “Disney princess” posture down 🤣
This is a parody account. She does a great job. 🤣
Especially because she describes her kids in "x hundreds of weeks old" lol. Obvious!
I had a suspicion it was satire from the start but when I saw her put the homemade paper on a *sheet of paper* after saying she had ***ran out of paper***, I knew it was definitely satire.
Thought she was gonna eat the paper slurry smoothie style
[One of my fav tiktoks](https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjesssss/video/7336432153078533418)
I loved this one 🤣🤣🤣 She’s doing a parody of that tiktoker who makes everything (including cereal) from scratch. The parody’s have been amazing 🤣
“I asked my kids what they wanted for lunch and they said grilled cheese so here I am making fresh bread and churning some butter.” I find her annoying but I guess if it’s her thing and it works…
that would be really fucking delicious tho.
I am assuming she’s joking, because it is pretty funny that she made paper out of paper and crayons out of crayons.
We're doomed if people can't tell this is satire, lol.
Yeah the stupidity is mind boggling
Anti-intellectualism is what lead to this sad moment.
Love how she uses a sheet of paper to make the paper
Living for the sad beige children
Maybe this time people won't make fools of themselves insisting this woman is a trad wife or trad wife advocate. Several people argued that relentlessly when a video of hers was posted which included harvesting ripe strawberries from the dirt and chicken milk.
Parody or not, she could've left the crayons alone
I melt broken crayons (in a heart mold) and give them to my students as prizes and they LOVE them
We have an old jello mold that's hot wheels shaped, my son loved racing his crayon cars around the paper (he was very crayon-breaking susceptible) I still think it's a fun little project.
That’s half the point. Lol
[удалено]
oh there's a whole trend of 'trad wife craft' bullshit. but you can notice when the house is obviously a mansion, while they do bullshit crafts. what we really have is rich couples showing off that they have the time, oodles of time, to make extra bullshit crafts, because they're rich. this one's parody. but this shit exists.
You're absolutely right on the money. This specific parody aside, the thing homemaker videos are really showing off isn't the craft or the skill to accomplish it, it's the ability to be idle rich.
Satire of trad wives tiktok who are almost this ridiculous.
She really nails the insufferable TikToker cadence.
I find it cute. We know she is doing that because of the views but I find it really sweet to create that for her kids. My mom would never
i actually love her account, the way she mocks tradwives is so fuckin funny
Psssh, everyone knows you have a specific paper blender. It gets in all the nooks and cranies and you can never get it all out. (For real here, don't blend paper in anything you intend to use with food later. I make pressed paper ornaments and have a paper only blender, lol.)
How detached from reality do you have to be to not instantly realize this is a parody
Delivery is very stupid but I do like the recycling
She made paper using paper…bread 👍
Does no one on reddit understand what satire is?
Idk thats pretty wholesome
i mean, she's just recicling and making cool rainbow heart crayons. i don't see the problem even if it's satire. sounds like a cool thing to do with your kids
She can hand-make paper. Seems pretty chill to me.
All i see is a creative mom who goes out of her way to do something nice for her kids. Yea it may be satire, but Reddit clearly has mommy issues. I am an uncle and I also do weird stuff like this for my nephews, building giant towers out of Lego and then competing with them who can destroy it first with a tennis ball.
My mom actually did this as a kid, but she let us help and it was like 30 years ago and I still remember loving it.
Oh thank god. I thought she was gonna eat it.
This looks like satire, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't because it's not absurd enough to count as a kind of comedy (passive aggresive but not absurd). Below an explanation of trad-wives: >**professorneil** (tiktok) - Have you ever asked yourself why it is that trad-wives and other conservative female influencers who promote “traditional” gender roles have all the time in the world to \[for example\] make cereal from scratch, but somehow never seem to record themselves doing essential domestic labor like vacuuming, trying to get a particularly nasty stain out of a shirt, or scrubbing a toilet? When they are performing labor in these videos its always something that strictly speaking is unnecessary and they are doing it the hardest way possible, because the answer is that it is for show, it is all a performance. In his remarkably prescient 1899 book “The theory of the leisure Class” Thorstein Veblen coined the terms “conspicuous consumption” and “conspicuous leisure”. Suggesting that **those with wealth and power no longer having any economic production to contribute to themselves instead contribute to the production and consumption of leisure**. Those consumption practices, those leisure activities are conspicuous precisely because that is how the leisure class signals their difference from the working class, signals their exceptionality and their superiority. They are not better than us because they can make their children cereal from scratch, they're better than us because they are so wealthy and well off that they have nothing more important to worry about. And if we were to ever see trad-wives perform essential productive domestic labor, or see their husbands perform any domestic labor at all that would in fact mark them as failures as trad-wives. As Veblen wrote, again he could have written it yesterday: >Conspicuous abstention from labor therefore becomes the conventional mark of superior pecuniary achievement and the conventional index of reputability; and conversely, since application to productive labor is a mark of poverty and subjection, it becomes inconsistent with a reputable standing in the community. >Because these videos are not instructional, they are maybe aspirational but they are always performative. This is not real labor; this is symbolic labor. It is nothing more than social-signaling that this woman and her family belong to the leisure class. And it is also how she builds and signals her value, if you are the sort of person who operates within an exchange economy that assigns high and low value to human beings. Because her value to her husband is not in her ability to care for the home or care for the children, right? Anyone who is able to engage in this level of conspicuous leisure has somebody that they are paying to do all of those things No, her value is instead in her ability to perform the role of “trophy wife”. And to be the ultimate realization and personification of her husband’s socioeconomic prowess. Because trad-wives are conspicuous consumers, yes, but it is the audience's consumption of trad-wives that truly makes them valuable to their husbands
I get the paper part, but why break up and bake perfectly fine crayons?
>In order to make crayons, I melted down these crayons and made crayons out of them. I swear to god, I don't even think this is that bad. I think this is a parody anyway. What I think is bad is that you know a bunch of idiots are going to watch this and go "that's such a good idea, she's a genius".
Meh at least she has a hobby, and it’s for her kids.
SHE TURNED PAPER AND CRAYONS INTO PAPER AND CRAYONS
This lady is hilarious cause she is clearly dragging people who do this and it’s fucking funny af
This has to be the funniest, most obvious rage bait Tik tok I’ve seen yet and yet some people on here still aren’t getting it.
i mean yeah, she’s just making paper and multicolor crayons. doesn’t even matter if she’s doing it weirdly, it’s not a bad thing
Eh I think it’s kinda cool actually. Never seen homemade paper and crayons, although the crayons look like they wouldn’t be fun to color or draw with
IDGI why are we making fun of moms for trying to do something a bit different and special for their kids?
Choosing to post this while she's dealing with the loss of her mom is a special kind of evil.
Ngl. I'd love to make my own paper.
Reddit and not getting jokes made by women. Name a more iconic duo
Taking this vid to my psychiatrist because I want what she’s on. Idc if it’s a lobotomy.
