Cooking, cleaning, corralling the kids — it sounds like the to-do list of a modern-day Cinderella.
But, instead, that’s stay-at-home dad Kerry Johnson’s new daily routine. In September, the Utah father of six ditched a high-paying job — which forced him to work 60-hour weeks — to live the life of a “tradwife.”
And not only does the millennial former health care administrator of nearly two decades love his new role as “tradhusband” — he even credits the Mr. Mom-like move with saving his marriage.
“I take a lot of pride in being a homemaker,” Kerry, 39, told The Post. “I’m able to provide for my wife and kids in this new way — I get to ensure that they’re going out their door as their best selves.”
Going from being the breadwinners to bread-makers, husbands like Kerry are joining the likes of buzzy, busy traditional (or “trad”) wives such as Nara Smith, Gretchen Adler and Ballerina Farm’s Hannah Neeleman.
They’re the viral leaders of the make-it-from-scratch, greet-your-man-with-a-martini movement — the gals who’ve chosen to forgo the workforce to, instead, bring up their broods and cater to the kings of their castles.
Cynthia Marie Franco was finally able to catch her breath as she frantically ran into her private spa studio in the Hollywood Hills, after finishing a lengthy facial at a top actor’s home, which backed up her tight schedule.
When it comes to investing, Jill Silverstein’s got it in the bag.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
