For instance, one twenty-five-year-old woman named Kendel Kay recently shared her morning routine as a SAHG on TikTok, and viewers were appalled by how many tasks Kendel completed were for or because of her boyfriend, Luke.
She starts her morning by filling up Luke’s water bottle to keep her boyfriend hydrated, then she makes Luke an iced latte before cleaning up their shared bedroom.
Next, Kendel completes her skincare routine and writes in her planner before going to get more coffee with, you guessed it, Luke. And finally, after going to the gym to work out with Luke, Kendel made her and her boyfriend a smoothie bowl.
This video alone gained a whopping twelve million views, roped in over five hundred and seventy-four thousand likes, and spurred over eighteen thousand comments. And most of the responses pointed out how Kendel did little for or by herself.
“This is actually kind of sad,” commented one user.
“As someone who had to stay at home, I feel so sad. I hope you’ll find something more fulfilling because this looks isolating,” commented another user.
“I lived like this for two months and never felt more worthless, bored, lonely, and purposeless. Kudos to those who can enjoy it, though,” wrote a third.
Still, Kendel’s video is just one small example of this trend taking over the internet. And the recent fad has even inspired many TikTok creators to post satirical spoof videos pretending to be a stay-at-home-girlfriend.
One TikToker named Haley recently hopped on this SAHG spoof movement and created a hilarious yet sadly accurate video of her own.
“Welcome to a day in my life as a stay-at-home billionaire’s girlfriend,” Haley began her video.
“I wake up every morning, let some light into the room, and put on a dress. William loves dresses. Then it’s time for my skincare. William has made it clear I started to age, so I roll my skin with every stone I can possibly buy,” she continued.
