Yeah, daughter. 6 months old today. The question is what kind of values does one install in a little girl to lead her to the best possible future for herself?
@cjd@Consoomer88@Shadowman311 I am trying to understand the question, a girl like your daughter? age? your sister? age?
In a perfect way, so to say, the girl learns from the parents and knows intuitively how to choose as she has had the example of what is a 'good' man/relationship in the family. The "MRP" material is surely great knowledge for all and covers both sexes, but to be honest, for my girls, I leave it mostly to my wife (and me when she there's an opening).
All seems to be advice for men. Problem is that for a girl, deferring to the WRONG man is the worst choice possible. What's the right advice for a girl in order to have the best possible life long term?
@cjd@Consoomer88@Shadowman311 reading for my kids: the so called married red pilled book list. For long term relationship, my favorite to follow/read is Rian Stone, And I like to read @jerr_rrej here and there to "rebase".
But as Jerry says, I am no pilled anything, it's just that we ignored the basics for too long.
Rollo Tomassi's book, the Rational Male, goes in depth of the natural forces at play. I really liked the read. There's many other books.
@cjd@Shadowman311 Congrats! May God grant you many happy and fruitful years together.
When my wife and I announced our engagement the most common reply we got was “Why, you’re still so young!” I remember one of my fellow NCO’s asking me why I was getting married, and he was genuinely surprised when I said because I loved her. There is definitely an agenda to keep young people from marrying and starting traditional families, just as there is against Christ and his church. They’re both antisemetic lol.
Thanks, we've also been blessed to have a little daughter who just turned 6 months today, and it's hard to know what kind of life we ought to recommend to her. Maybe this Christ guy can help us out too :)
Congratulations on a happy life! My wife and I have been together just about 5 years and we married late. We're doing well together BUT she's not from the US and I'm expatriated so that helps a lot. I still get the feeling we were mislead about what should be our priorities.
@cjd@Shadowman311 Sample size of one, but for my wife and I faith wasn’t a thing for the first 20 years of our marriage. Christ let us take our time coming around to him. Marrying in our (very) early 20’s has made it much easier to stay together.
It doesn't take much to convince me that religious people will have lower divorce rates and happier marriages.
However this article seems to be making the claim that marrying young is the secret, and I think it's far more likely that marrying young and staying together are both just traits of religious people. So the real secret is faith.
Another big looming storm cloud ahead is school. In the first couple of years it's all about reading and that's relatively "easy", but after that - what kind of school actually teaches things which will help a person succeed?
I'm largely of the opinion that most schools don't teach a whole lot beyond the critical importance of school. So basically it's just memetics, self-replicating by indoctrination.
@Consoomer88@mukona@lain@Shadowman311 That is quite impressive! I might have some minor quibble with the practicality of some of the topics, but at the very least, this is easily competitive with a prestigious classical private school.
Having these types of curricula available really makes homeschooling a possibility...
@cjd@mukona@lain@Shadowman311 We use memoria press and augment that with Saxon math. We’re still in primary school but it covers the basics with options for things like Latin and Greek
@cjd@lain@mukona@Shadowman311 Homeschool. We had our son in public schools for 1st and second grade, have homeschooled since. It’s easy, fun, and the kids aren’t stuck in kiddie jail all day. My son schools for about three hours and then he’s out playing
What are the topics that you teach on, and what material do you work from? I have a big list of things I think a kid needs to know in order to understand how the world actually works and to thrive in it, but sadly I've never seen any kind of educational materials on these topics...
A good education is one that will reliably lead to the person making better decisions for themselves and their family. In that cause, I'm more concerned about teaching "individual liberty" than creationism.
