She's measuring the wrong variable. Time spent with your kids is not what raises them. The research is clear. Judith Rich Harris laid it out decades ago. Peer socialization is the dominant force in child development. Not parental attention. Not "quality time." The peer group

Parents are the best educators. Literacy starts at home!

My most boomer coded opinion is that we have normalised ~too much~ regarding appearances. Why are you outside in pyjamas? Why are pimple patches neon and obnoxious instesd of being designed to be discreet? Why are you wearing rollers at the supermarket? Bring back standards.

Any mother who regrets the existence of their own child needs to be in serious therapy, not writing articles online or being interviewed. It’s not okay, healthy, or something that should be normalized.

A lot of postpartum depression would look very different if women didn’t have useless partners. You can’t dump a newborn, the house, and the entire mental load on one woman and then act shocked when she’s drowning. That’s not hormones, that’s a bad partner.

I used to be entirely in the camp that said you should kick your kids out at 18 and force them to live independently and make their own way in the world. I don’t feel that way at all anymore. I want all my kids to live with us until they get married. Even after they’re married,

Most people that have “mental health” issues really have spiritual heath issues. You don’t need therapy. You need confession.

You are depressed because your ancestors fought and danced and ate meals together and you eat alone in the dark while staring at a glowing rectangle

My homeschooled children still write essays by hand.

☦️ Why aren’t Protestants taught about Christ’s conquest of Hades? Because the Reformation cut them off from Holy Tradition. In the Orthodox Church we don’t just say “He rose.” We proclaim: **Christ is Risen, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs

Real Christianity

It is time

The first Easter egg was not pastel Mary Magdalene stood before Emperor Tiberius holding a white egg She told him Christ had risen He laughed: A man could no more rise from the dead than that egg could turn red But according to legend the egg turned red Eastern Orthodox

Warm and sunny all week. Holy Friday - it’s dark and rainy. Glory to thy long-suffering O, Lord!

I’ve experienced no holiday more fun than Orthodox Pascha and likely never will.

Hot take kids should be socialized by adults in their immediate family who love them through consistent daily conversations about the world and their interests not random kids who happen to be in their class or at the playground.

It’s okay that you don’t want to socialize your children with children that have no self respect, manners or faith

The idea that giving your kids generational wealth that they didn’t have to work for will ruin their personality and work ethic is a psyop to keep your bloodline from ascending.
