She showed me where she has a few valuables hidden. Like...anticipating her own death without saying as much. I live pretty far away from her. She is in very good health for her age, but she is still pretty old. Frequent welfare checks will be difficult because shes about an hour away. I call her more often now. Probably don't go more than 3 days now without calling. Will probably step that up now to every other day when I'm not bogged down in my own shit. She already gave me her apartment keys last year. I dread having to find her in some state of death, but she only has me, so it will just be something I deal with hopefully not for at least another 5-10 years. The women in my family have some longevity. Her Grandmother lived to be 93, so there's that.

They are also constantly carving their way toward a political seque. Even if a chance never arises, the intensity of an argument is there all the time. Their point is somehow constantly made, even if imperceptibly. They focus on this intensely as if we are filming a show about them. Any disagreement is somehow about trump, in a deeper level.


I have mastered being cool thats the real news

It seems almost like medieval times: Have 5 or 6 kids because only 1 or 2 are going to make it, unfortunately.

In 1965, Planned Parenthood of Connecticut won the U.S. Supreme Court victory, Griswold v. Connecticut, that finally and completely rolled back state and local laws that had outlawed the use of contraception by married couples

You heard it a lot from the Stephen Molyneux types that spanking is awful, barbaric and scars your children for life, and should never happen. Well, that is only half the story.

Children like to test their boundaries. EVERY TIME. You know how women like to shit test you? Women are like children in that sense. Having a child and bringing them up is a cornucopia of tests they will give you. Test your patience, knowledge, lungs, physical fitness, and even your social skills. You need to stay sharp around your kids, because their survival also depends on that.

So when they behave wrongly, parents accordingly need to correct that. The easiest way is to incentivize correct behaviour, but that alone does not cut it. The infamous finger on the power outlet image needs correction. And a stern "no" will sometimes not suffice.

Grounding is a good way to punish bad behaviour. The "discipline corner" has limitations, and kids will wander away if you are not aware. When it does, its a good punishment, but it can be misused when parents let kids stay there for more than ten minutes. Kids have awful notions of time. Grounding them for ten minutes or an hour for them is the same for discipline, but they grow irritated and annoyed in the latter, escalating further issues down the day.

Finally, spanking is a tool that is your last resort, and can NEVER be liberally used. Kids need to understand that if they insist on their errors, physical punishment is a possibility. Obviously, a slap on the leg/arm with enough strength to cause mild pain is the same as swinging a belt multiple times. Again, they only understand the concept, not the gravity. And the more you use physical punishment, the less they will believe its something awful; after all, they have experienced it. And going from a slap to belt swings is not a good escalation.

Remember that almost all modern laws are to disencourage you from forming a solid family unit and to lure you into the devil's contract of doing what you want when you do want, but having to sell your soul to the system in exchange. Your children will need your protection from this awful world, so pick your battles. No-spanking as a rule is an ideal, but should never be fully implemented unless your kid is very well behaved by nature. And if you have a son, and this is his case, you may want to reevaluate his upbringing; male children cause all sorts of chaos in their perfect natural state.

The modern idea of schools educating humans has failed. The experiment has ran for more than five generations so far, and the idea has not solified the notion that the minimal society's unit, the family, are the ultimate drivers for education. Emperor Marcus Aurelius thanked his father for not taking him to public school when writing his Meditations, as most of his peers were going. He was educated by mentors personally paid for by his parents; the model that worked best for producing mankind's most developed societies. This was more than two thousand years ago. Mankind knows how to raise men and women for a long time, but we are barbarians living in a forsaken world that neglets successes of the dead and their past so we can pursue our worldly goals.

Private schools are a hybrid from both; varying degrees of state intervention and control in an environment that is ultimately maintained and curated by parents. Its a great investment for your kids, and you can very well determine its success by gauging the level of interaction it has with the children's parents.

Last but not least; more than five hours a week of independence your kids have from their parents, and they will start developing parental absence, the biggest scourge of children development today. Dont take kids to kindergarden. They start to develop away this when they reach 5, and by 7-8 years, they can fully understand the notion of study and coming back home after it. Homeschooling is excellent, and even highschool dropouts on average have as good a development on their kids as a mid-level private school. College-level parents will educate kids on average on par with top-level private schools. The best middle-ground seems to homeschool until the teenage years, but each community, place and family may have their own formulas. The basic for a 99.9% improvement on your kids today, finally is: school starting at 7, learning how to read and write by 6 to an upper degree (no need to be perfect) and no kindergarden.

I dont have to mention how even from an economical perspective women getting full-time jobs are a net negative for your family. You cannot fight communists and subversives by letting them dictate how your family is going to be made. The more your wife is married to her career, the bigger the cross you'll have to carry. Ill pray for you and your bravery if you have to. Luck favors the bold; be bold for your kids and use your will to shape a world for them you never had.
