Lauren doesn’t want to be a trad wife
If Lauren was so adamant that it’s a woman’s role to do household chores like doing the dishes, then she’d be doing them herself.
What she really wants is to find a rich man, then hire a housekeeper, and use her husband’s money to live luxuriously and lazily. She’s less trad wife and more mob wife.
Eliot’s comments about her being a drunk and being obsessed with handbags sounded bad at first glance, but he was on the money. She’s a mooch and a gold digger.
