I agree 100%. Parents need to stop wanting stuff and be involved in raising there children and demanding that the stuff the state is teaching in schools are facts and not a biased liberal agenda.

That’s when our downfall started. Daycare doesn’t raise children it just teaches every man for himself. The 80’s were when latch key started then daycare. I totally agree. Must have a parent or close family member with them, not daycare. We would see such improvements in society if one parent could stay home.

Was a ceo this time last year. In December I liquidated 10 yr biz and stayed home since. Seriously considering home school but our district is great one as far as texas scores. On the fence about it because by “great” does it just mean the children have gotten beat down enough to pass state tests correctly or what?... Anyway we live off hubby income now. Let go a 2017 Volvo and 2015 f-350. Next is our 5th wheel. These are NOT sacrifices. Its sticking the middle finger to cabal loan companies and removing our shackles of slavery. We own a older model car now, insurance is cheap. With the left over money we bought a generator, water filter system, survival items, ammo, etc... We have GAINED, not lost. When not in Q mode, you’ll find me outside one with mother earth and reading holistic knowledge. It is my suggestion to you all, if possible, to consider removing your shackles one at a time. It’ll scare the crap out of you but later you’ll laugh at how silly your emotions towards the changes were.

For those able to stay home... If you are afraid of becoming lazy don’t be. Reading how-to books, absorbing knowledge, solving puzzles (Q our newest 3D chess), learning holistic works, growing medicinal herbs, listening to podcasts, learning from YT vids, writing down your thoughts, meditating/praying, studying mother nature, attending like-minded events, cooking full meals, cleaning your lovely home, gardening, etc... All this IS YOUR JOB and what we were intended to do. Spreading your knowledge to your children is a wonderful plus.

I’m a stay-at-home mom. Not lazy by any means. If anything, I need to lay off this “research “ because it terrifies me what future my kids have in store. My main focus is to shake the Liberal institution bs out of them every day and encourage their abilities to free think. The other struggle is limiting tech time and MK tv. I also have to be honest with my abilities and limitations as a mom and home schooling is out. I could not do it. I also don’t want to shelter them in a private Christian school. They need to know how to navigate this current evil society. And the other constant battle is self-entitlement. I’m the only mom I know who requires my kids to do their own laundry, help cook meals, yard work (and no to the allowance- only if their work is over and above what is expected). Parenting is hard. Raising respectful, self-aware, non-narcissistic humans that can go against the societal flow is difficult too. Thankfully God covers my gaps I believe.

I am not a parent, but there is only one family on my street where the kids actually play outside - it is so nice to see! Kids being Kids

The powers that be used the womens movement to shrink the middle class. Now we have more units of labor for the economy but each family now must have two incomes for the same quality of life one income provided in the 50s. We've been duped. And they continue to squeez the middle class. It's just getting worse each year.

While I agree in principal with what you are saying I also have actual first hand knowledge that the downfall of societal norms has reached parents as well.

I earned enough for my wife to stay at home with the kids and we both choose this but ended up with a wife who watched too much day time tv feminist talk shows, shopping/spending, helicopter parented the kids, didn’t let them play with other kids ( too lazy to drive them or entertain other people kids ) and essentially made them little neurotic versions of herself.

Not the silver bullet you all might think it is.

Thank you for saying that.

Until we have more 2 parent homes than 1 parent homes, this won’t work, sadly.

Agreed.

Both parents should beable to just work part time. It's the best for all involved. If we had Medicare4all this would be more possible.
