The mum, who has one son said she was financially dependent on her husband as a stay-at-home mum but did not mind this as it meant she had more time for self-care.
Nicole wrote: “When people try to judge me for being financially dependent on a man and use my time to focus on my son and self care.”
She captioned the video saying: “I truly never have been happier.”
Whilst some women enjoy having financial independence, Nicole is not fussed and says not having to work means she has more time for herself and her child.
Nicole posted in a separate video some of the leisurely tasks she luckily has time for being a stay-at-home mum such as; having long lunches with the ladies, doing morning pilates and night yoga, all paid for by her husband.

Nicole, who is believed to be from the US also joked in another video that she gets all of the cleaning and chores done in one day so that she can spend the rest of the week focusing on herself and living her best life.
Many women in Nicole’s comment section were supportive of her lifestyle choice, one wrote: “Give me more of these! I need to write a list of all the things I want lol.”
Another woman commented: “Love to see it!”
But some users thought Nicole should have a backup plan in terms of finances and that being dependent on a man was a big no-no.
One user exclaimed: “This is not a flex miss girl. The thought of being dependent on a man in 2022? And that with a son? Big no.”
“We’re not living in the old ages anymore. The world is crazy, people change swiftly, most men move mad. Who knows what tomorrow brings, have a backup!” Commented another woman.
A third person wrote: “Girl I just wish you luck, this can end badly but I wish you the best and hopefully you’ll never have to regret it.”

Meanwhile, I‘m a young mum and everyone assumes I’m single because of it, it’s so insulting.
