My wife just delivered our second boy     (Fatherhood)

She delivered him au natural, on all fours like an animal!

From labor to birth in less than three hours. Veiled birth again.

Baby boy is almost 8 pounds, 20 inches, healthy and happy. Mom is doing fantastic and I've never been more impressed by her. I'm so full of joy and excitement, I left the car running outside the midwives house! He husband helped me out with the car. I was a bit distracted at that moment.

Yet another White supremacist has been born!

We picked up a teal air-fryer, a DeWalt drill, a hair dryer and some Christmas lights shaped like cowboy hats. All less than 30 bucks.
I remember destroying that type of thing as a kid and getting in a lot of trouble for it. Rather than pulling that card, I got a bunch of crap he play with, then we can take apart together and see the guts, then hit it with a hammer and then use the left over wires to make some electrical circuits.
Not bad for a 3 year old.

I just wanted to send a message out there to all you niggers. The events of the last 6 months have been very eye opening for me and I just wanted to share something.
Life will be hard. And it will only get harder. The (((obstacles))) we are all dealing with beat us down endlessly and tend to blackpill us.
Don't wait to start a family. Don't wait for that perfect woman with the perfect past and incredible looks. Just make sure she's white and you can trust her, then get to making babies.

I always thought having a wife and kids would be great because it would be fulfilling. I've recently come to learn that this Disney faggot fantasy has nothing to do with family.

Having children and a wife is important because when your time comes, it comes. And nothing can stop it. The choice you DO have is between a nigger nurse named dashiki who pockets your pain pills and laughs at your suffering with her nigger kin, or the family you DID decide to have when you had the chance who will do everything they can to make sure you're as comfortable as drugs and familial support can make you.
I don't mean to sound corny, but it never occurred to me how important a man's children will be to them at the end.

Don't let your desires for an Aryan 10 stop you from approaching the more trustworthy Aryan 7 with a way better personality and a nurturing disposition.
Make white babies, not just for 1488, but for yourself. They may just come in handy at the end of this shitshow we call life.

Got the boy set up with a tool box today.      (Fatherhood)
submitted by MaryXmas to Fatherhood 10 months ago (+47/-1)

I had a second hand tool box sitting around- old red metal style and we filled it up with some pliers, screwdrivers, a small rubber hammer, a few wall anchors, and other knick knacks. He was real happy.

2 days ago we assembled a hand turned shaving brush I bought for him off etsy - we mixed up the epoxy and installed a boar knot. Naturally, he won't be using the brush for a few years(he is only 3) but I try to pick up some life tools that he can have when he gets older. Already has most of a shaving kit, and some decent name brand tools, most of which are better than the second hand stuff I use. As he gets older I will get him a few skillets, and a solid firearm - I'd say like a 1911 or Beretta 92 but it will probably be a more modernized version of something like that.

I am doing the same thing for may daughter with gifting and I will get her a KitchenAid mixer and pans and such. My parents got me plastic junk that broke. My kids have plenty of that crap around so I try to buy gifts that will last a lifetime or close to it.

If you are reading this, go be a good dad this weekend.

It was great. He got a burger with fries. I had a hot chicken sandwich and slaw.
I remember my grandfather and dad taking me out when I was the same age. Grandpa would get a michelob and put some salt on top. We went to the the local VFW and all the oldtimers would say I looked good and my grandfather looked like shit.

I took my boys to the river, went swimming and jumped off the rocks. Watching the young ones conquer their fear and jump, then come up grinning ear to ear was priceless.
Spend time with your kids, Goats. It’s the best thing for them, and you.

We started the "treehouse" today.      (Fatherhood)
submitted by MaryXmas to Fatherhood 8 months ago (+33/-0)

My boy asked for a treehouse a few days ago. We don't actually have any trees close to the house so we spent a few hours building a platform on some older timber I had in the garage. I think we need a few braces and a floor then we should be off to the races. He had a great time. He doesn't know it but we just built the new chicken coop, he will just got to play in it for a while before I take it to the back pasture. He liked holding the wood while I cut and handing me screws. It is a good size - 4x8 and 4 ft off the ground. It could have been more elaborate but that is about all the time and energy I have at the moment.

We also changed the spark plugs, filter and starter on the mower so that was another win.

Now we are watching ninja turtles cartoons from the 90s and I am about to fall asleep.

Hope you are having a nice weekend with your kids.

My kid has been really into puzzles lately.      (Fatherhood)
submitted by MaryXmas to Fatherhood 3 months ago (+31/-0)

It has actually been pretty great. We hit up the dollar store and got a bunch of them. We did a 100 piece together and he was contributing much more than I was expecting. It says 7+ and he is still 4. He can rip through the 24 piece puzzles in 5 minutes.

The next excursion is likely to be some second hand legos-by-the-pound I picked up a while back. I was pretty happy to find that.

I had some bad gas in the log splitter so we changed the carb and split the 8 logs I had laying around. My boy loved it. I didn't let him work the controls but he got to turn it off when we were all done. He was totally in awe. I was hamming it up and made a big mess which was great. Well done son.

My 3 year old has informed me that he now identifies as a spider. He now walks everywhere with a bizarre spider walk. It has been going on all evening. I am in shock. He looked at me with a straight face and said, "I'm a spider!". 3 weeks ago he was a robot, a crab and a monster before that.
Anyone know how to raise a spider? Do they only eat flies or will they also eat pet store bugs like crickets and mealworms? Do they need a little bowl of water or do they just suck the liquids from their prey. Please help!

Third White male of the family; he was three weeks early and an emergency cesarean required, but we're here.

Only time I have not been present for the birth...those 50s cartoons of the dad pacing and burning a pack of cigarettes from stress is no joke.

Time with Kids     (Fatherhood)
submitted by mannerbund to Fatherhood 10 months ago (+23/-0)

Yesterday, after work, the boy and I went out in the jeep. It was beautiful weather, about 80 degrees. Loaded up a bag full of pistols, a few boxes of ammo, a couple of towels, and a bit to drink.

We 4x4'd out to a nice secluded spot on the river, a few miles from anyone else. It's a place that you can't get to without four wheel drive, so most people don't bother to begin with. The ideal spot has had some people camping in it for the last week, so we had to back track to the next best spot.

From there we did some target practice, he got to try out my full size pistols instead of just the smaller ones this time. His aim needs work, but his grip improved since last time.

After that we went for a swim, jumped off the rocks across the river for a while. Eventually we got tired and swam back across to where we parked. We skipped rocks until we were mostly dry and packed up and left.

It was a good day. Don't forget to build memories with your kids.

Took apart the air fryer with my boy (3). It took all evening and we removed every screw on the entire thing. Turns out they are just heating elements with some fans. I actually like them as cooking devices but I have never used one. He loved it and we found a lot of cool parts. 2 light bulbs, 2 metal fan blades, a nice pot, heating element for burning the house down later, and a bell on a timer which was a huge hit. Maybe we will get the lights hooked up to some 9v batteries next, with our timer bell switch of course. Ding!


Don't forget to spend some time with your kids. Not everyone gets the opportunity and you can't ever get it back.

Why did you get a tattoo? You paid for that? You dumb ass!     (www.mayoclinic.org)

Search it yourself, it’s a dumb idea. There is no good reason to get a tattoo, unless you’re a war hero and want to honor the fallen, or show your camaraderie, other than that it’s just vulgar and crass.

I advise against it. Unless you’re a sailor, you already did something incredibly stupid and signed on to sail, why not make it stupider.

What do young men in our society need from other men?     (Fatherhood)

So from the other poll, around 50% of goats have seriously considered or attempted suicide. This is unacceptable and I feel like we are failing the men and boys in our lives. What is the solution or what should we be thinking about as men?

Scouts? Clubs? Bowling leagues? I know even having a father in the household is a huge step forward.

Sundays are my favorite day     (Fatherhood)

This is how I worship life, what do you guys do to enjoy being a father?

I got to spend my morning meditating on the past week. Make plans for this week to be better than the last.

I fried up some pig bacon, deer sausages, chicken eggs, waffles from scratch, and freshly squeezed orange/apple juice.

My oldest woke up and started asking for his breakfast which I happily obliged. He ate way more than I expected but that gave him the energy to get to work chicken chasing.

Mrs. Her0n is taking a much needed nap after she was puked on three times last night by our youngest boy. I want her to be ready for my dinner plans for her tonight. I'm going to take her to a mom and pop restaurant down the street from us that operates their business directly from their personal home. It's like spending dinner at the neighbors without any drama/expectations (other than paying) and the food is simply amazing! (I like my wife's cooking better still though)

I love what I've carved from life for myself. Taking care of my family is the best thing I've ever done with myself.

My favorite part of this day so far was when my wife said she wants to make our third child once the second starts walking.

Thoughts on child discipline     (Fatherhood)
submitted by MaryXmas to Fatherhood 1.9 years ago (+17/-0)

I have a 2 year old boy and I am generally responsible for discipline for misbehavior.
For something like touching the stove, I certainly warn, don't touch the stove but I would let my boy touch the stove to learn the lesson.
Don't smack the dog or don't kick the chickens is a lesson of empathy, and clean up your toys might be better identified as a lesson in morals.
How do you set guardrails for discipline? Is discipline the same as punishment?

I work to be authoritative but not authoritarian.

I have a weak father that was largely absent in discipline when I was growing up.

Cinderella puzzle     (Fatherhood)

took the day off yesterday, and on my errands I stopped by the library. They have a section for jigsaw puzzles to share. Being inspired by @maryXmas I looked through it and found a Cinderella puzzle with large pieces. Brought that home for the 4 year old, because she knows that Cinderella is the best princess EVER. For the rest of the day I got to put that puzzle together maybe 20 times. Because, you know, Cinderella is the BEST princess EVER!
