I recently received the fantastic news that my first child, to be born this September, is going to be a boy.
While I would have loved the child no matter it’s gender, the knowledge that it is a boy got me thinking a lot more about what kind of an example I should be to my boy and what I should teach him in life. You see, I want to raise a red pill son, strong and true, so that he can go out into the world and take it on prepared.
I’ve boiled it down to these essential lessons. I believe if I can instill these values in him, he’ll be equipped to deal with life as a successful, strong and decent man. It won’t all be within my control, but I have the responsibility to at least try to mold him into the kind of man society desperately needs more of.
Life Is Hard, Nobody Owes You Shit
I want my boy to know that life is no walk in the park. He’ll learn it eventually, so I might as well give him a head start by teaching him early on. He won’t be lifted and laid, he’ll learn to do things for himself, and he’ll learn that his actions have irreversible consequences.
He’ll be taught that when you screw up you fix it, and when you want something you work to get it, no exceptions.
That being said, I’ll also let him know that when he hits the hard times in life his family will be there for him. No matter what, he should never give up and when going through hell, all he has to do is keep walking. As a man, he will have the responsibility to be a strong leader in tough times.
The Importance Of Physical Strength
Life is physical, pure and simple.
The next time you get ridiculous notions that you might be living in a hologram or that the physical world is some sort of physical manifestation of your spiritual vibration, I suggest you rack up 300lbs on the squat bar and do a set of ten. This will return the objectivity to your life, fast.
Life is physical. A physically strong, well built, and athletic man will have both self respect and the respect of others. I plan to have my boy doing 10 reps of handstand pushups before he enters high school and working the heavy bag from a young age.
This will keep the bullies, predators, and big mouths at bay. It will also teach him the discipline needed to succeed in life.
What Is His, Is His, And He Has The Right To Take It
I’m sick and tired of listening to socialist morons and SJWs talk about the redistribution of wealth and entitlements and social reparations. As if they have the right to re-distribute anything that belongs to someone else.
As far as I’m concerned the world doesn’t owe me, you or anyone else a dime. You get paid when you deliver a useful product or service to other people, and those who deliver the most value get paid the most. If your people or your ancestors failed to secure themselves financially, build a decent society or a lineage of wealth for their descendants, tough titty son. Get to work and make something better for the future instead of whining like a bitch.
I’ve met a lot of people over the years here in Asia who have told me that because I’m white, male, and from Europe I have an unfair advantage in life and that I should give back to those less fortunate.
I’ll be teaching my boy from day one not to feel white guilt, not to feel ashamed of having more than others if he has earned it, not to feel guilty about the shots he has in life because someone cared about him enough to give them to him.
To Get A Practical Education
Be somebody by knowing something useful
While we’re on the topic of delivering value and getting paid, I’ll be teaching him to get himself a practical education.
That means becoming a doctor, lawyer, engineer, mechanic, sparky or entrepreneur. I won’t be encouraging nor bankrolling him to study sociology, gender studies, or philosophy. When it’s time to go to school, it’s time to learn something that’s going to get you paid, son.
He’ll also be learning practical survival skills and how to live in nature in case he ever needs to. This hunting, fishing, camping, and other practical skills is something this generation badly needs. What if the system was to go down? Half the men on this earth would be unable and ill-equipped to feed their own families.
Women Are Not The Same As Men, And He Doesn’t Have To Pretend Otherwise
Let’s tell the truth – women are no the same as men in any way, shape or form.
True, there are lots of reasonably intelligent women out there, but physically and in practically every other way, men rule the roost, plain and simple. If you want to expose this much told lie very quickly, put us all back in the jungle and take away the safety of the society men built, and we will soon see who is relying on who and which gender is taking the lead.
I’ll be teaching him that women are to be treated with decency and not harmed or abused, but that at no time of his life should he give control to, explain himself to, take crucial life advice from, or place a woman above himself.
His Word And His Guts Are All He Has
A man comes into the world with nothing and leaves it the same way, but what he does have in between no matter what are his word and his courage.
A man’s honesty and word is worth its weight in gold. If you say you are going to do something and you do it every single time, you will always be trusted in life and have the respect of those around you.
As for his guts, what I mean by that is his courage. The guts to try new things, take risks and go on adventures will lead him to many opportunities in life. That can never be taken away from him and will lead him to the top, eventually.
The Value Of Family
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a war against family raging throughout the world.
You see, governments dislike families because they are a threat to their power and control over the population. The further left you go, the deeper the dislike of family becomes.
I’ll be teaching my boy from day one that family comes first and everybody else comes second. His blood is the most important thing and it is in fact the only thing on this earth that actually matters. When everyone else abandons him, betrays him, shuns him and turns on him, his blood will be there for him, and he should be there for his blood.
I’ll teach him that it’s OK to distance himself from some family members if they are trying to use him or have gone rogue, but that when they come back to the fold and show that they have changed, he should always give them another chance.
Money Is The Key To Almost Everything, But Money Is Not God
Money is damned important, but don’t sell your soul for it
It’s no secret that money makes the world go round.
Money is extremely important and can buy you pretty much anything you want on this earth. A house, clothes, a car, influence, and many other things can be bought with money. It’s extremely important to have your cash right and to be a free man, you need to get money.
However, I will also let him know that the pursuit of money is no excuse for selling his soul and being an immoral, evil bastard. There are lines that a man must never cross in pursuit of cash – killing, con artistry, doing things which prey on the weak and innocent – these are out of bounds in pursuit of profit.
It is possible to make lots of money in legal, respectable ways which benefit both oneself and the society he lives in. Knowing this, and deciding to draw a line in the sand and say “here and no further” in pursuit of wealth is one of the keys to keeping your integrity in life.
Death Is An Illusion And Is Not To Be Feared
Too many hardcore materialists dismiss good evidence of the afterlife out of hand
If you look around you every day you will see that death holds immense power over all creatures. They scream, cry, kick, resist and fear death with all their might.
The only creature powerful enough to meet death with equanimity is a human being. I want to teach my boy early on that he has nothing to fear when the grim reaper comes knocking, and that as long as he has lived a decent life according to his principles he can go in peace when the time comes.
This is something I wish I had been taught as a kid. I was taught heaps of nonsense about hell, the devil, demons and ghosts, and as such I had a deep fear of death for most of my young life.
Later on I was able to overcome that mental fear by reflecting on the writings of some great philosophers like Plato who said:
“Death is either a dreamless sleep or transition to a better world, either way it is nothing to fear.”
and Marcus Aurelius who said:
“Death smiles at all men, all a man can do is smile back.”
We have lost something in Western Culture – the ability to meet death with equanimity and a Stoic calm. We need to get that back, and I’ll be doing my best to teach my boy that while life is for the living and he should respect the gift he has been given, he doesn’t have to be afraid of anything when it’s over.
The Art Of Critical Thinking
You’ve probably already noticed, but most people simply consume content without giving it a second thought.
The news, magazines, even history books are all produced, written and distributed by people with a perspective and an agenda. It is crucial to ask both who the people are and what they want you to believe while reading a text or listening to an argument.
It is also essential to know how to think about what they are saying in a logical, precise way and criticize it. Thinking of any counter examples is a great start, but there’s more to it than that.
We need to teach our boys how to read a newspaper and understand that it was likely written by a communist sympathizer or edited by an ultra-feminist and therefore he is not hearing the true and total story of what happened.
This skill alone can shield a growing boy from the brainwashing that destroyed this generation of men. It is crucial that we both learn it and pass it on.
A Closing Word
An entire generation of men has been laid to waste due to fathers, brothers, and leaders that failed them. I was one of the lucky ones who had a father who I’d say was 80% red pill, so I got a glimpse of what a real man looks like (he didn’t exercise or know much about women, but he was a badass winner wolf and took zero shit).
I for one am not allowing this to stand any longer. I can’t influence every single boy to be born in this generation, but I can influence my own, who will in turn influence his own, and so on.
I hope there are other men out there like me in their late twenties, thirties, and even older who have woken up to the bullshit we were peddled in our youths and who have decided that while we can’t go back, we can make sure our own boys are not fed the same line of lies and false wisdom.
This is the true revolution. This is how we truly turn the tide. We as fathers have the ultimate responsibility to make sure that the travesty that is the millennial generation never takes place again, and that we can, and will, make sure of it.
There is no need for riots, picketing, demonstrations and armed overthrow. All that is required is to be there, at home, raising men.

Congratulations.
I would be interested to see a list that applies to daughters as well.
Because while women are different, there are important lessons a father can teach his daughters as well. I mean a huge problem with many Western women these days is the lack of a decent father.
The Western World doesn’t value fathers as anything other than walking wallets. Us regular ROK guys know the value of fathers yet there seems to be a real push now to diminish the physical role/ importance of DADS.
Anyone listen to Glenn Beck talk about this today? He provided a commercial that apparently played this Fathers Day essentially celebrating Single Moms & saying “Happy Fathers Day” to them. Absolutely made me sick. Some broad on FOX did the same thing on Friday. Completely enraged me.
I also recall a ROK commentator remarking how when he was at church on Fathers Day it was nothing but bashing fathers. I’m not religious. But fathers n men now get the bashing from every direction: the church n feminism.
Look on social media on Father’s Day and see all the chicks obsessed with their fathers. Listen not to what they say, look upon them as they act.
I jumped on FB for first time in months yesterday and was happy to see my news feed flooded with friends out with their dads.
However my point is how there’s this theme about fathers being POS that rears its head each Father’s Day.
Let’s be honest. There’s no commercials on Mothers Day telling single Dads “Happy Mothers Day.” The value of Mothers n Feminity is honored and celebrated that day. But Father’s Day, there’s always a segment which has to shame fathers and do the SJW PC shit of celebrating single moms.
I dig, I dig. No amount of media can replace a father… as much as they pretend. Even chicks know the truth, that’s all.
Why does anyone want to have kids again?
ROK guys….another groupie have been born…this is what “they” want…Divide and Conquer…the more groups the better.
Honestly, its not popular at all, the most unpopular stance you can take, even here on ROK but fuck it… I still feel this way, stronger then ever! If you are a father who’s paying child support, gov sanctioned or parental agreement and you cant raise your own child? STOP PAYING NOW! If you dont get equal say and quality time to raise your kids, dont pay shit… even if it means going to jail, mass civil disobedience! It will be the quickest way to end this legal kidnapping that has taken hold of the western world! I still pay support for my daughter because I get to see her every few months and hope things get better but I am prepared to drop it all and go my own way if I am blocked from her! I will always be there for her but I am only going to cover the costs of time she spends with me and nothing more! This is the only real solution… all father unite and say we only pay for the time our child spends with us (if the situation warrents that stance). Anyone who wants to ‘dead beat dad’ bash me… let me save you the time… GO FUCK YOURSELVES!
I just saw some commercial for an MTV program. Teen Mom or something. In this commercial the Teen Mom is saying how the father wants 50/50 custody and that she’s going to file “domestic stalking” on him. Then there’s another clip where he’s sitting with his daughter and she says, “Why are you manipulating MY daughter?”
I bet more than likely she is demanding he pay a major portion of his income to Child Support. Here’s the obvious thing. There should be a law that if MOM is going to deny father access to his child, she cannot demand a portion of his income goes to her to help raise the child. We all know a large portion of women use children as pawns simply to get the father to dish out financial resources while preventing him from being a physical part of child’s life.
This is one of the only topics that still gets me really emotional… working on it because I know in the end logic is my best friend and allowing my emotions to rule is not a good idea! But DAMN… if there was ever a cause to fight for, this is it!
I know a guy who was awarded partial custody of his son but the ex-wife will not let the father see him. When I asked him, “Why aren’t you fighting this?” His answer was, “I have no more money to fight it.”
Meanwhile he’s forced to provide Child Support while ex-wife won’t let him see child and is manipulating the son into thinking his father doesn’t want anything to do with him.
Absolutely makes me sick. And these bitches seriously can’t figure out why young men are refusing marriage or to re-produce.
that story is sad….wish it wasnt common, but seems to be all to common.
i just heard a recent story from a friend….he has an Ex that he cant get over, in any event. he just discovered while they were together, she got an abortion without telling him until he just found out 2 years after the fact.
its like really….what a fucking bitch…..sad thing is hes still hung up on her.
My first born is due any day, and I will be having a daughter. I’ve given a lot of thought about the best way to raise her in the current western culture. I think my #1 priority should be installing in her the importance of family. As long as she always puts family first, and me and my wife always act as good role models, everything SHOULD fall into place.
I agree, most problematic girls lack a good relationship with a father that didn’t treat them as a “little princess” but rather taught her how to be a good woman, pull her weight and show respect to others.
Please do one for girls whenever you can. I can leave my opinion below:
1) Manage a household, even if just for herself: cleaning, basic cooking and housekeeping
2) Being a “good girl”: choosing the values that matter to her and never give in, be it being nice to others, or charitable or whatever
3) Manage her looks: not in a mini-skirt and lipstick kinda way, but in a clean and modest kind of way, to show others that you respect yourself, rather than walk around college, unbathed in sweatpants
4) Learn a manual skill: something like knitting or even origami, but it’s good to teach discipline, preserverance, confidence and potentially even entrepeneurship
5) Do something active: no need for body building but maybe a group sport or just generally encouraging playing outside and running around
1. So boys don’t need to know how to manage a household, even if just for himself?
2. Why do girls need to be “good” but boys don’t?
3. So boys can be grungy but not girls?
4. So basically an activity that will keep her in the house?
5. Why shouldn’t girls build muscles?
I didn’t say any of those things
Good man! Children learn from imitating ! Just behave your usual way. Most everything what you said is what boys will anyways want to do but please DON´T impose. People have innate inclinations and will realize them no matter what. If your son is not what you wish that he should be, you must let him be himself anyways!, that is the existential duty. You cannot “make” your son, you can only help him become what he is anyways.
Disclaimer: I have no children; but I have been a child, I guess that gives me some right to say this opinion.
well, i grew up without a father and i wish he had been there to impose.
not ideas, but actions. discipline. not by saying “this is right”, but “you are my son, you will learn this. what you do with it is your choice.”
i don’t see how one would ever get the idea to go through the first thirsty stretch of hard work without any reward, if somebody didn’t make you do it.
Good point. Being a father myself and having been the child of one (naturally), I feel that a father should enforce certain important boundaries and principles. Your child does not have the experience and world knowledge to ‘see’ why certain things are good and others are bad. He cannot imagine the long term consequences yet, nor does he have an accurate enough model of how the world functions. That’s what his father is for.
On other things, I agree with you that should not try to mold your child into a fictitious idealized image of him that only exists in your head. Say if you would like him to learn the violin but he prefers the guitar right now, or he’d rather play a certain sport instead of another, then let him follow his own inclinations after having exposed him to many different things.
You would have loved the child no matter its sex. “Gender” is a word best avoided unless one is talking about nouns when learning some foreign language.
Well said. So many people use that word when talking about the sex of a person and this only furthers the rest of the idiots saying that “gender is a social construct”
Well, sex is not, so let’s avoid the “gender” word unless is needed for languages and nouns.
didn’t realize the difference, thanks.
You got it backwards. When we stop fighting to reclaim the word “gender”, they advance their agenda one step.
Never give an inch. They’ve taken entirely too much already.
That’s why we should clarify the use of that word when they use it wrong, mostly because it’s not happening only in the english language. I speak spanish, and since a few years(especially from the government) they have been using it more and more, and it’s wrong.
I really dislike that word since SJWs started to use it 1000 times a day
Right on
Gender should always be defined as sex regardless of exceptions – anything less gives too much credence to a minority of freaks
Sex usually refers to the activity, so I can see why Gender is preferable in regards to identifying males and females.
Good reminder. Sometimes catch myself falling into that trap when conversing with others.
and then at 18 he tells you he is gay
lol…have a laugh with this comment.
“Gender” is the term which was originally used in grammar to denote the maleness or femaleness of substantives. The leftists appropriated the term to make their rants sound more “authoritative”.
The proper term to use is “sex”.
in arabic we say sex(gns), I’m ultra proud of my self!
All of this advice works with the members of your entourage as well. Be the leader they need.
i respect your courage bringing up a boy in your culture. i would be too afraid of the damage that 10 years of school would do to him.
teach him, first of all, to question you. if you don’t teach him, others will. the best way to protect yourself against brainwashing is to come up with the crazy ideas all by yourself.
so that when he meets a socialist, he will be able to say “yeah, had that idea. it’s boring” instead of “hm, maybe my dad wasn’t right”
about death, i’m not sure, but i like the smiling at it part. is there evidence about this stoic death thing? i can’t really imagine it.
and this part is great:
if it’s a hologram, it’s one with strict rules.
They tried to indoctrinate all of us there; yet, we’re all still here. Fear is the mind killer.
it cost me 23 years of my life. i don’t think 23 years is a reasonable price to pay for basic sanity.
The debt has been paid, wallow in it or move forward from the negativity.
good words, but i do not wallow in it. i merely take steps that i estimate may help others not to have that much time wasted purposelessly.
Congrats. Way to take the plunge and repopulate this place with some good people. Red pill seems to breed greener grass syndrome and has a swath of men chasing the next pussy paradise or continually pumping and dumping ad infinitum.
Get ready for a deluge of “watch out cause bitch gonna dump you for alpha cock in 10 years” posts.
All this talk of blood means very little when a man doesn’t have that kind of power over his blood anymore.
The almighty state has the monopoly on violent force and until we as men become ruthless and savage enough to make our women and our blood fear us more than the state then we will always be under its heel.
If we smile at death then we can swiftly call down the reaper on our enemies. Our women and children will naturally fall in line behind our iron fist that creates order. Until we wield that iron fist we can speak of nothing because Big Daddy govt has the power and the fist that breaks a man.
Do not go quietly into that night. Go with force and violence and if today we die we are remembered as men who stood up against a multi headed hydra and we didn’t fucking flinch.
The heroic memory of that very sort of man will inspire others to do the same. The glory of a dead mans life lasts forever.
We need a return to heroic resistance and brutal force to inspire our young and corral our women.
hero talk is there to agitate the masses.
winning takes a cool mind.
More like a stone cold heart and the same measure of resolve
sounds like a nice thing to aim for.
Luckily I live in and my wife is from The Philippines. Big poppa still runs his own house in this part of the world. It’s a lot more traditional and the mans word is the final say.
Good shit. Wish I could say the same for myself.
Western civilization is a turd that won’t flush down the toilet.
and inequality is a positive thing, never forget
I believe that’s Socrates, not Plato
You’re quoting Plato’s Socrates…
If the “other place” you relocate to is rather hellish, then death is not something you want any time soon.
Socrates was a character in Platos books. We know nothing about the actual Socrates except what Plato wrote about him. It’s possible he didn’t even exist and was a fictional character.
“I was one of the lucky ones who had a father who I’d say was 80% red pill, so I got a glimpse of what a real man looks like (he didn’t exercise or know much about women, but he was a badass winner wolf and took zero shit).”
Greg, thanks for this. Describes my old an to a tee. He died this year. Difficult to watch him deteriorate. He died as he lived, well……
I think the same of my old man. Lost him 8 years ago. Still miss him, and still trying to be at least half the man he was. Condolences btw, bro.
Here are some unpleasant facts about having a child:
-It now costs over $300,000 to raise a child from age 1-18
-In 20 years time, 45% of jobs will be replaced by technology
You can be a self rightous dick all you want, but the world does not give a flying fuck for your son, or your morals.
You are fulfilling your feminist masters wishes well. Please, do continue, and by all means, don’t reproduce. Oblivion awaits you.
I agree, as a father of 2 boys, full-time single parent here, that they are the only thing that matters and you can’t base your decision to have kids on statistics about cost or the supposedly bleak future they face. They truly are a gift and my greatest joy, despite both mothers turning out to be psychos in my case, and frankly if I didn’t have a child(ren) at this point in life, agex 36, it would’ve been a crushing disapointment, despite the less ideal circumstances of having a broken family structure. Trying to avoid solipsism here and not trying to speak for all guys, but that is my perspective.
Full-time single parent (widower) here. Three kids, two girls, one boy. It’s not the life I would have chosen for myself, but like I tell my kids, what the hell else are you going to do with your life? Don’t kid yourself that anything besides reproduction has any lasting importance. My only real struggle is giving them positive direction in the face of what I see to be an increasingly bleak future.
Are you thinking that your children will somehow prevent oblivion from swallowing you up? Oblivion awaits us all; it’s a horrific “side effect” of being alive. The only way to avoid this fate for your children is to not have them. Non-existent people do not fear oblivion.
Be glad your father didn’t feel the same way.
I don’t fear oblivion since I am not an atheist. And I’m quite happy to know that my genetic line carries forward into the future and that I’ve worked in no small part to raise children that will be on the front lines of resistance against the forces marshaling against us today.
“Be glad your father didn’t feel the same way.”
Why? If I didn’t exist, I wouldn’t need to worry about it one way or the other.
I’m glad that you’re happy with your children. I’m also glad that there are people who are willing to try to carry this shit show into the future. However, you said it best “raise children that will be on the front lines”, you’re children are destined for a life of struggle/strife. Almost all children are. They will feel tremendous pain with very little consummate pleasure to help salve their wounds. That’s the “gift” of being alive today. For most people, even in 1st world countries, 90%+ of their life is spent, at best, in an emotionally neutral state, more likely and emotionally negative one. Most people don’t enjoy their jobs and yet spend over 50% of their waking hours doing that admittedly brings them no pleasure.
I have it better than most, I enjoy most parts of my job, and I spend a lot of time doing things that I enjoy when not working. However, looking back on my life today, even from the position I sit now, more of it was bad than good. And, unfortunately, there’s a lot more bad to come (parents dying, getting older/injuries, watching my parents minds fade, and then watching the same happen to me). I’m probably somewhere near “peak happiness” right now (and hopefully for the next 10-15 years), but, from there, it’s a long downhill slide to death.
Life, if viewed objectively, is anything but a “gift”. It’s at best a burden. At worst a nightmare.
I do not share your bleak outlook. Life isn’t easy at times, but it’s clearly not a nightmare, assuming one has his health.
Life is more than just pleasure and pain. We’re more than just mere moles living in the dirt.
So we should all get a vasectomy, right? End a part of a bloodline and be lesser than a footnote in history?
If more men thought like you, we might as well as say that humanity is extinct.
One of my lines is that people who are in favour of abortions are their own best argument why some people should be killed in the womb. Similarly, the people encouraging men and women abhor the idea of parenthood are great examples of people who probably should not reproduce anyways.
Yeah you would be right. I have not seen or met any pro-choice person who wasn’t left-wing. In fact, they are probably the first SJWs I’ve seen before the whole ideology became an outbreak.
I’m as right wing as they come and I’m pro choice. So now you’ve met one. Anything that keeps more people from coming into this world and suffering is “A-OK” in my book. Even if it brings about all kinds of horrors for those of us here; we’re already sentenced to this; so, better we serve out our sentence in silence rather than “rat out” others and bring them into this prison.
Hate to be all doom and gloom – I’m a naturally optimistic person – but humanity is already as good as extinct, barring some major change in societal structure and human rights. Women simply have better things to do with their time than have babies, and men just don’t see enough benefit to enslaving themselves for the sake of reproduction. You might say we’re too smart to breed.
” You might say we’re too smart to breed.”
Some of us are. Some of us are not. Unfortunately, the majority of children born today are being born to those of lesser intelligence. Intelligence and fertility are inversely related, the higher your IQ, the fewer children you’ll have. This is not a good thing for the ongoing genotype of the human race.
Not that I care all that much, I’m not going to have kids, so, this comes under the heading of “not my problem”.
“men just don’t see enough benefit to enslaving themselves for the sake of reproduction.”
Men who can read statistics are waking up to the raw deal that children are in our society today. As an older man without children, I constantly hear from other men “I love my kids to death, but, if I had it to do over again, I’m not sure I would have had them”. I’m old enough to be seen as “mature”, and also the only person in most of my friends lives they could say that to and know that I’m not going to judge them.
I’m aware of that but it doesn’t mean I should stop trying.
Don’t breed.
Don’t.
We don’t need more bitchassness in the world.
We’ve been fed this population control bs for decades. Birth control is encouraged in rich countries meanwhile the rest of the world never got the message. At this rate white people will become extinct by 2100. My two boys are 10 and 7 according to you I have spent $283,333 on my kids. The numbers don’t add up.
It’s fucking white, champagne liberals who already have 5 kids that want population control.
As I sit here and laugh as my 4 year old picks his nose and tries to wipe it on his shirt without me seeing, I couldn’t care less about statistics. That’s my boy!
Somebody drank their haterade.
“Haterade.” Ok, I will have to remember that.
Yep. And it’s about to get worse with all this race stuff in America: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/06/22/time-for-a-new-black-radicalism/
I call bullshit on both of those for various reasons. First is that $16,667 a year is enough to clothe feed and shelter an adult. Admittedly, not in a grand fashion. However, upgrading a one bedroom apartment to two is a few hundred a month. Feeding a kid is cheap, half of what it costs to feed an adult. Clothing a kid only gets expensive if you are buying them new designer togs every year as they grow. Finally, cut those expenses in half if you live in Eastern Europe or by 75% if you live in Asia.
.
Having one child is well below replacement rate: it effectively cuts the population in half if everyone was doing it. Secondly, if you are teaching your kid skills regarding technology, entrepreneurship, construction, law, medicine, engineering, marketing etc, technology itself can’t replace them.
Not sure where you live, but daycare here is 1600/month. That’s almost 20K/yr. Yes, it’s a little more expensive (not by much), but the daycare next door, lost some toddlers.. They found them wondering in traffic.
“Not sure where you live, but daycare here is 1600/month. That’s almost 20K/yr. Yes, it’s a little more expensive (not by much), but the daycare next door, lost some toddlers..”
Two parent households. One parent watches the child(ren), the other works/sleeps.
I live in China, which has it on set of economics. I am from Toronto where licensed, home based daycare for infants is about $45 per day so you are looking at closer to $1000 per month. Of course, you have parental leave, EI during that time, daycare fee subsidies for low income earners, not to mention family. There is the “baby bonus” of $100 a month plus the Child Income Tax Benefit as well. That goes on for a few years and then there is all day kindergarten.
.
It was a few years ago when I was a family lawyer but I had a client with three kids and the live-in nanny (a Filipina) was happy to work for $20k a year plus room and board.
.
Child care expenses are tax deductible so your out of pocket is 20% to 25% lower than the ticket price.
.
By the time I was 14 I had a job. Not that I was paying my full freight but one room out of a three bedroom apartment, food and then socks and underwear would not cost $15k+ a year these days.
I understand. But not really possible in a big city. One parent working, then the family has to live in the getto, and then you have other problems. A decent 2 bedroom is 2500/mo so 30K right there. I know what you’re saying, but numbers just don’t work. Decent life for a family of 3(no luxuries whatsoever) needs at least 100K gross/year in the city. Not a lot of people make that.
“But not really possible in a big city. One parent working, then the family has to live in the getto, and then you have other problems. A decent 2 bedroom is 2500/mo so 30K right there.”
Move.
Can’t. My industry is tied to the large cities, unless I want to start farming, which I don’t.
This is where the “cost” gets fuzzy. You are talking about the opportunity cost of one parent not working, or both parents cutting down their workload so that one of them is always free to take care of the kid(s).
.
It generally depends on the wife’s earning potential. Here in China my Chinese fiancé only makes less than $1000 a month. The average Canadian makes something like $4000 a month with women earning more like $3000.
.
As I mentioned, you can find a foreign, live in nanny for maybe $2500 a month all in, and it would not be unreasonable for her to take care of three kids – maybe all yours, or you and some colleagues organize something.
“Can’t. My industry is tied to the large cities, unless I want to start farming, which I don’t.”
Then drive an hour, each way, every day.
I was.. Anyway, it’s done already. She starts school this August, so that part is not an issue anymore.
“It generally depends on the wife’s earning potential.’
As a general rule, never have a hireling doing the job of raising your child. Opportunity costs aren’t limited to mere $$$. Somethings are priceless.
Last time I checked in Toronto a few years ago, you could get a two bedroom apartment in a nice building in the west end for $1300 a month. A one bedroom ran from $800 to a thousand for more.
.
The average Canadian income is $45k year, but higher in the city so having a $100k family income is not much of a stretch. The median household income is $76k so a couple in their prime (not in school, not retired, some career experience) is not uncommon to have $100k between them.
.
You need a lot of money if you want to own a detached home in downtown Vancouver where the ticket price runs about $600k or more for something typical.
.
By comparison, big city LICO (Low Income Cut Off) is less than $40k a year so for a family of three so $100k is about 2.5 times that.
I agree but the discussion is about costs. Caring for children and raising children are two different things.
“I was.. Anyway, it’s done already. She starts school this August, so that part is not an issue anymore.”
Sorry to hear that, but at least she’ll know about sex and Gay Pride right? That’s more important (to some people) than doing Algebra, at seven years old, like mine.
300K is laughably low if your wife has a good paying job and you plan to have her stay home (for at least some of the time). Having a child would cost me well over 1M dollars before the child hit the age of 10 (assuming the wife stayed home and the child cost exactly 0 dollars in additional expenses).
Another thing that all these numbers leave out is the cost of college. College 18 years from now is, even at the low end, going to cost at least 100K. Having a child when you’re going to saddle them with that kind of debt 18 years; no thanks.
Great article, and great blueprint for how to raise a son. Always good to hear from someone who wants to raise their kid with traditional values and a good work ethic. I am interested, though, what precautions you take in the current legal environment for marriage.
I got married in the Philippines. I keep all my assets outside the country (back West). I have only put in about 10% of my net worth to provide a decent home. Women here can be just as bad as back home, but they generally speaking are more family oriented and marriage breakups are frowned upon or can be a source of shame.
Sick of the anal obsessed self rifghtous lecturing parental cunts and dicks.
My plan is to work out of a storefront, put the rugrats to work a la Bob’s Burgers, and homeschool the little critters.
My folks had me reading when I was 3, and they A. weren’t teachers and B. had a lot of crap on their plates at the time and not much money.
Once they can read it’s just a matter of getting the kids the essential materials (free at the public library) and discussing it (mealtimes). Meeting the state standards is not tough unless you’re a serious loser. It’s worth mentioning that homeschooled kids can try out for public school sports teams.
If you’re doing a decent job of educating yourself you should have tons of useful things to teach a kid.
There was a time when every boy would be taught most of these things. I don’t know what the fuck happened to destroy parenting so thoroughly in such a short time (well, I do know, gynocentrism happened)
Feminism happened. Show me a feminist that truly loves children and family, I’m sure they exist somewhere but they are exceedingly rare
I talked to one who said she wouldn’t have a child because she didn’t want an “alien life form” growing inside and destroying her body. Can you imagine how fucked in the head someone has to be to see their own child, their own flesh and blood growing inside them as an alien life form?
More people go to college and after it they move far from their parents. So when they have a kid their parents aren’t around for advice, but there’s that book from that author about raising kids so let’s get it. Turns out people write a lot based more on ideology than fact (every kid deserves a medal) and they raised a generation of narcissists because they listened to some idiot that thought if it’s different it’s better (because progressive).
Death is not an illusion.
It sounds like your son will have a good upbringing, congratulations and hope you have as many children as you desire.
I’m a skeptical person but I would still say on religious beliefs: if you teach your son to believe in God, then you have to be careful that he doesn’t fall into the SJW “our souls are all the same” shenanigans that I’ve seen pushed on religious people lately. I would tell him that if you have a soul, then your soul is who you are as a person so obviously not all souls are the same (seems common sense to me, but I guess some people think God doesn’t have time to put in any craftsmanship and needs to factory produce souls).
I have zero religious beliefs myself. I just want him to believe (even if it is only his own conscience) that he will have to answer for what he has done some day. I think if i can install that in him, the rest of the whole morality issue should take care of itself.
Sounds like a perfect plan, I’m just trying to warn the religious that some people do seem to get pulled into the belief of “well he might be a bad person, but every soul is good so he must be good on the inside” type of thing and then they end up tolerating all sorts of problems that they never should put up with in the first place.
Good article. It is definitely true that the left (and feminists in particular) HATE the family and children. Of all the things about feminism, I think this is pretty much the saddest aspect of all… and it’s where their war against civilised society has had the greatest impact. Just have a look around you. Single mothers are much more likely to raise dropkick kids… and career women neglect their children and don’t give them the upbringing they need. I commend the author for his values, but he will have his work cut out for him with the media/left wing education system etc
Thanks for this article. I have young boys and think about this topic. My wife (we are middle aged) came home from the gym and told me about two dudes in their 20s, professional because of the neighborhood and hetro she assumed. They were talking about getting lipo and botox to … look better. She asked, ‘what’s going on with men.’ I said, ‘the scourge of feminism.’ She wasn’t ready to hear that but I was glad she too is beginning to see what’s going on. I would add to this list to teach them wisdom. The only way I know to do that is teach them about JC.
25 yr old straight males thinking about getting botox…what…the…fuk….
Good article and congratulations on your newborn son. Your description of your father sounds a lot like mine. He enjoyed the booze too much, and it eventually killed him, but otherwise he was red pill in many ways. It probably helped a lot that he was Silent Generation rather than Baby Boomer.
Good list. But two mistakes:
1. Don’t ever have your child become a lawyer to a dying nation-state or he’ll be fucked for life with no skills or job.
2. Homeschooling at least until he’s 16 and big enough to defend himself from bullies and homosexual pederasts.
I was going to advise homeschooling also, mainly to avoid the Ritalin and any other psychotropic drugs the school tries to force down his throat.
As an ex-lawyer I don’t regret it any more than being ex-military. If somebody fucks with you, sometimes you have to play the soldier card and sometimes the lawyer card.
Being a lawyer is not a wise investment nowadays, you can’t practice in other countries if you need to leave.
Not completely true because a common law degree is good pretty much anywhere in the Anglosphere and most of the British Commonwealth, although you will need to upgrade and retake the bar course or something. Other countries it gets trickier because of the language barrier.
.
Otherwise, a law degree is a good education for finding work in business, media, education or public policy research.
.
The big problem now in terms of “investment” is that law school tuitions are largely deregulated and unsubsidized. They figure just the lure of good coin will allow them to charge students through the nose for what is essentially a souped up social science degree. It’s a cash cow for the universities because they can charge 2 or 3 or 4 times what they do arts students with essentially the same infrastructure requirements.
Homeschooling til 16 ? That sounds a bit extreme and I’m not sure the gov will allow it. Also, I doubt any father is well versed enough in math, languages, history etc to take on that task.
Neither are the teachers. If you are reading a “textbook” you are reading propaganda. Maths is not that complicated and any reasonably intelligent man can self-study up to basic algebra. If it gets difficult, hire a tutor. Languages are now very easy and cheap to learn with the Internet.
Frankly, I consider myself a success in spite of having gone to school.
Schools are the death of the modern man in which they teach the government “version” of history and indoctrinate boys into feminism and State worship.
Agreed..though I think my own school was pretty good, it’s probably not like that anymore.
But where would one find 6 hours a day to home teach a kid ? Most people have their jobs etc.
A good way could be to hire some good teachers in the areas where you lag..or perhaps find a more “red pill” private school, if it exists.
I think a kid needs to grow up with other kids as well. School is not only about learning.
Sending a kid to a modern feminist school, full of feminist man hating female teachers, is not an option though, so something has to be done.
I think that it only takes 6 hours a day at a school. Most of that time kids spend bored looking out of the window. Home-schooling needn’t mean doing it all yourself. Tutors, online classes, the mother teaching the basics etc. At some point the boy will become reasonably self-sufficient and he will pursue the subjects he is interested in.
Correct. In Plato’s MENO there is an excellent lesson. Socrates gets Meno’s house slave to solve a geometry problem by simply asking him the right questions.
The point that even an ignorant and uneducated slave can be taught geometry is something that “teachers” need to learn.
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, didn’t Plato believe in destroying the family?
Plato did take an early roll at family destruction. However, given the time he had no empirical evidence to show what the outcome would be. I am giving him a pass on the whole idea of the Republic. They hadn’t even invented underwear yet.
Also, drawing a distinction between the pedagogical politics, ontology and ethics of Plato and the vehicle for it’s transportation, viz., Socrates is important here. WRT Meno’s house slave (or Euthyphro, Crito, etc. etc.) we have Socrates taking a real stance on the importance of asking questions to elicit knowledge we already have dormant within us.
You can home-school them yourself or with your wife when they’re really small + play dates or whatever activities to get them socialized. Then when they are self-sufficient (somewhat), you can start them on Cyber School. Maybe by 8yo? My friends that did it were older but our generation didn’t grow up with technology. Kids born now would probably understand. Cyber school is online public school and they have more offerings (Chinese, intro to engineering, differential equations). Two of my college friends graduated high school that way and ended up with me in the honors dorm of a very solid public university. Both of them had full-tuition merit scholarships. 1 was an electrical engineer and the other was a physics major who later went on to work for a bank. Both did VERY well in college, nearly straight A’s.
Well, you wouldn’t need 6 hours a day. Most of the school day is wasted in my opinion, so you would only need to focus on the essentials. A lot of time at school is SJW indoctrination these days so your kids wouldn’t be missing much. Not sure about the US but here in Australia you can be home schooled your entire life.
Hire mentors to cover areas the parents don’t know.
Now you’re fantasizing. You will be just another beta provider because the mother will be the one making the decisions.
You will have no choice but to go along with it.
And if you don’t agree you will still have to pay anyway.
And unless she’s planning another child, you won’t be getting much sex either unless you get some on the side.
Good luck you’re gonna need it.
Congratulations Greg Freeman. And on behalf of society, thank you for shouldering the load of fatherhood in today’s toxic feminist environment. Take it from a father (of a 14 year old girl) who fought against toxic feminism in family court in Canada and won full custody, it won’t be easy. But you’ve got your head in the right place.
That sounds like a story worth hearing. Canada is truly full of toxic feminism.. in every way… courts.. media.. culture. That you managed to win despite all that is inspiring. I hope you consider writing an article about it here.
Had been considering it. You talked me into it.

Red Pill this, red pill that. The mods over at TRP on reddit have jumped the shark once again:
.
.
The previous bone-headed, ban hammer threat was that members are not supposed to question red pill theory as expressed by the mods, to present scientific evidence to the contrary, or even ask for scientific evidence to support what they claim to be truth. That’s just all too intellectual and stuff.
.
Combine the two and about half of this post which claims to be red pill is expressly not according to the self-appointed gurus claiming 117,000 followers.
.
Having said that, I only have minor quibbles with this post. One is that philosophy is a very useful area of study. Keep in mind that lawyers, doctors and MBAs need an undergraduate degree before going on to professional study and philosophy majors are – as a group – the best critical thinkers which is why they tend to get the best scores on standardized post graduate entrance exams.
.
The other thing is not to confuse guilt with noblesse oblige. Taking the idea that no one owes you and you owe no one to its extreme, then why construct a moral code based on what you must or should do for your family or son?
66Scorpio..I wore this post. I studied philosophy and I agree it is actually useful in it’s own right. It will teach a young guy to think and argue in a logical way and spot BS easily. However, to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a degree in it, nah, it’s so much easier to just read the great works for free at the library.
Credentialism is the first priority to getting a job. If you can get some bone head professor to say that you know something, then you are employable.
.
Self instruction carries very little weight with people, in the hiring process. People freaked out with library cards in Ontario got priced at $7 even as tuitions were skyrocketing. There is so much nonsense out there.
.
Make sure your kid joins the debating team. It is less formal than a philosophy degree but gives good critical thinking skills.
This only applies if you are seeking to be employed by others but yes you are 80% correct (because it depends on the field you wish to gain employment in… many emerging fields favour solid experience… but once again you are correct with established fields that contain barriers to entry like medicine, law etc)
In entrepreneurship you need credentials if you want to borrow money from the bank. Either that or a successful track record.

If you want to get into video game design, buy a decent computer, a Unity package or something similar, some manuals and teach yourself to code. Once you have coded a few interesting apps, that can be enough to be a portfolio to get you a job.

The caveat to my previous comment is that if – by way of self instruction – you can build a portfolio, a history, an “oeuvre” or whatever that someone can look at, if it is any good then that can get you a job but that applies only to certain fields.
Don’t put him in Government School: This accomplish almost all of your objectives.
I’d tell my son to separate ability from character; to seek, without bias, whatever wisdom you can from the ranks of both good AND evil. Remember to give credit to the successful asshole: he’s obviously doing something right. And unless you’re downright repugnant, many men and most women will disregard your foibles if you’re a master at your mission. That’s why Mao had them bad bitches on his dick 24/7.
Don’t know why I included the song. Prolly cause I just smoked a smashing blunt.
You might consider teaching the kid to play an instrument, the lesson behind it being that you don’t get to stop and do over when you make a mistake, you have to keep going.
As for the white guilt, I was suckered into it in HS by a feminazi (my parents were against me hanging out with her and that only made me like her more) in my class I used to hang around but when I was a kid I kinda felt pride that every generation of my family left more to the next than they got from the previous, going back to the 1800s.
I’d recommend you find a good school for the kid as opposed to homeschooling because the kid needs to hang out with his peers to learn social skills.
“..as opposed to homeschooling because the kid needs to hang out with his peers to learn social skills.”
No offense, but that little myth regarding home school kids and “social skills” has been dispelled more than a few times. The results are in and there are no adverse effects. Not everyone can afford private schools or can obtain a slot in one, so homeschooling would be the a better option the public schools.
Yep, I can attest to this. My home schooled son is 1000 times more socially adept than his peers, and probably 10 times more than most adults.
On a side note, when he was a baby I never spoke with him in that baby talk bs either. I spoke with him using normal adult language. When he was 3 people could not believe how well spoken he was and the “big” words he was using LOL
Myth.
You do not build up social skills in a child by forcing him to associate with people his own age.
I am favoriting this, especially when I intend to become a father myself and not make the same mistakes my own father did.
I have some land. Let’s build a new men are men women are women commune and seed the next generation.
Congrats Greg and great article. Welcome to the ranks of fatherhood.
I so hate this phrase. Give back. Give back to the community. Such bullshit. As if the “community” did a damn thing for anyone. Its just a way to shame someone who has done well into taking some action favouring people who have failed to do the same.
If the community gave nothing, give nothing. I agree.
“I’m running for breast cancer awareness.” Which means that you’re being a “good deed whore” that is financing a machine designed to enrich the lives of board members, derive profit, take donations from companies to may actually contribute to cancer and buy expensive office furniture. Did you know men can get breast cancer too?
Crickets.
So much for “awareness.” How about being aware Western Culture is being attacked is your pink ribbon going to save your ass? Will the Komen foundation be there for you? No, you’re just expected to be a “survivor.” Maybe you’ll get lucky and they’ll use you picture as marketing material after your dead.
“I’m better than you cause I care more” bullshit is too much.
These cancer drives make me sick (no pun intended). It is almost religious in its zeal. Praise be to the God of Cancer. For the God of Cancer moves in mysteriously ways. If thou does wear sufficient pink ribbons and walk far enough perhaps the God of Cancer will smile upon thee and not consume you with Cancer.
They want you to believe if you get cancer it is bad luck. It is all part of the cult of non-responsibility. They want you to continue to eat their cancer causing food and pay for cancer drugs and treatments when you get sick. The whole thing is a scam.
These drives should make you sick. The head of the FDA was paid $285,000 in the late 60s to suppress a potential cancer cure(you can look it up, the article appeared in the NY Times or the Wash Post, I forget which). He was forced to step down as a result.
Im sure the article was buried in the middle of the paper, Vietnam dominated the headlines at that time…
Some people are unlucky, but unhealthy people deserve it.
Where was this shit community when I was poor as a kid and had to eat rice 7 days a week? Fuck em, I recall getting $1 presents at christmas, I didn’t see any poverty pimp giving me a thing worth a damn.
The phrase “give back” makes me sick too.
I work 60+ hrs per week and half my paycheck goes to the state to pay for countless social programs to “help” the “less fortunate.” That’s giving back plenty. I don’t break the law and pay my taxes. What more am I supposed to do? Waste the better part of my two measly days off to raise $57 on a stupid cancer walk a thon? Or volunteer to pick up trash in a park or along a highway because the gazillions we all pay in taxes somehow aren’t enough to for the government to take care of those things? Fuck that!
Don’t forget nutrition. Keep that boy off estrogen inducing gay foods like Kelloggs, any cereals, grains and sugars. Give him “man-food” like naturally reared meat, eggs, real dairy and such. That will build a strong man.
Been reading “The Art of Worldly Wisdom” by Baltasar Gracián. I thought it was just a name but it is actually filled with lots of golden nuggets for a good life.
I think the hardest thing to achieve understanding is having a certain degree of experience. Sometimes people can’t understand something if they don’t first live it themselves or vicariously learn it. Think about that when raising your son.
As a father of a young boy myself, I wholeheartedly embrace your thoughts, Greg. I’ll be there with you doing my part to raise a new generation of real men, brother. Thanks for the great inspiring essay.
Not a bad article. Some of the things you say are true. This rugged individualism nonsense has to go though. It is only through teamwork that we really are able to survive and through which we will be able to save this planet. The “King of the Hill” mentality must be set aside in favor of teamwork, humbleness, community and fraternity.
“It is only through teamwork that we really are able to survive and through which we will be able to save this planet. ”
While I agree with this statement, you have to approach the world as a rugged individualist FIRST, team player second. Yes, sometimes you need a team. But teams come with huge downsides (slow decision making, consensus building, and, on a big enough team, HR bullshit).
Community is a lost concept. There is not “helping your neighbor” anymore in most of this country. If you want help, call someone who cares and pay them to help you. Most people asking for “help” are just women playing the victim. If you’re sink is broken, figure out how to fix it (like I would) or hire someone and pay them 125 bucks an hour. Asking me to “help” is just playing on your female privilege.
You can’t be part of a team if you have nothing to offer. Would only be a drain if you need your arse wiped by the other members.
True. See Rome vs. Celts, Boudica’s defeat. An excellent example of teamwork.
You need a balance of three things: rugged individualism, deep familial loyalty, and a sense of community.
Community however, is something that is earned. Communities with close ties are built through respect and by people who build trust and share in responsibility. Those who abuse the trust, resources, and reputation of the community don’t deserve to be a part of it.
Tentatively agree.
The disappearances of “rugged individualism” from the social paradigm is why this country is down the shitter. Go ahead, let your child be raised by the likes of Hillary Clinton and her “village.” I’ll take my chances on my own, thank you.
Roman vs. Celtic mentality. See Boudica defeat.
Show him how to work with tools in carpentry and mechanics. Being able to do his own repair work later in life will serve him well and aid in financial security.

Death can come (and go) very swiftly – that I can say from the experience of having been at it’s edge thrice.
When you are in a situation where imminent death is a very real possibility, your stress goes and all your preoccupation is about the things, big and small, which you have left pending in life. You don’t experience fear, you don’t experience pain, you don’t worry about the possible destruction of your body, you are just calm and alert, very calm and very focused, because in that moment, your whole body with all it’s senses is infinitely gracious to you (itself).
Truly, all men can do is to smile back at death.
Congratulations man!

Its best to always have a mistress to fall back on and start another family with.
Good post. I agree with pretty much everything in the article. One thing left out was to try to be involved local politics and take part. One thing I think men have neglected and was our down fall was to be part of what’s going on in your communities. The root of our problems was falling asleep at the wheel when it comes to whats right for your local communites and why we’re in this mess. Sure maybe our arms are tied when it comes to how libral thought fascists have taken over the educational system but if enough MEN took part and stood up for themselves then maybe we wouldnt have the problems we have
.I know men work long hours and going to city council meetings is the last thing you want to do but I think being sidelined or going m.i.a in his man cave while important decisions are being made that impact his and his families life. S.J.W’s have gained a foothold because THEY take part in these aspects of life while men check out watching nothing but E.S.P.N every resting moment.
Is it because they don’t work or create, hence all the free time to scheme up political ways to seek money and validation through artificial change which only benefits them?
Exactly. They’re community organizers and the like who receive government grants from our tax money.
“We have lost something in Western Culture – the ability to meet death with equanimity and a Stoic calm. We need to get that back, and I’ll be doing my best to teach my boy that while life is for the living and he should respect the gift he has been given, he doesn’t have to be afraid of anything when it’s over.”
Important stuff. I had people telling me “dont go to that country, you will die”, but i had to take the leap. While a healthy survival instinct is important death is peace, not the worst thing that can happen to you
Death is boring too…
Have you decided to circumcise or leave intact? There was a decent article opposing circumcision awhile ago on ROK. I think that the procedure is harmful and wrong but you should do your own research on it.

Nowadays I would say the most difficult part of having kids is finding a proper mother.
I think in this day and age, for many of us who are under a certain age, it’s important for men to re-discover their masculinity. Because boys these days are feminized and emasculated throughout their entire childhood and even adulthood by the mainstream values and teachings that we currently have. So it is important to compensate. Being a masculine man is an important asset in life.
I wish you the best of luck with your new family. He’s lucky to have a father like you. If only every boy was raised on these principles.
Teach him survival first. YOUR survival by showing you’re the boss and don’t let him witness the lady of the house bossing or reprimanding you. That’s the first ‘game’ he’ll witness. If he’s still sucking on mamas tit and mama snaps her fingers at you to fetch her the remote, he’ll still register that mama lion pulls strings over daddy.
Soon as he’s got teeth he’s done with mama’s titty and he’s ready to go camping. Pack lightly. Show him how to make fire. Try to catch fish bare handed and propose that there’s got to be a better way. He’ll salivate when he sees fishing poles at walmart for nine bucks.
One of the better articles in a while.
There isn’t much out there RP wise or even Neo-Masculinity wise that gives advice on how to raise kids.
I don’t know about some on here, but I want kids. Finding the right women to do that with is tough – though I’ve been narrowing it down as of late.
How to raise them in this environment is a tough thing. I’m seriously considering homeschooling and an education that focuses on both holistic approaches as well as the Trivium and Classical Education.
Death smiles at all men.
Needed that reminder today.
Will they stay a revolutionary when everyone is acting like mangina around them in college and high school and work?
This should be required reading for the RoK archives. Solid piece Sir.
If humanity is to be saved from the chaos of its own making, it has to be freed from the saviors of mankind.
damn…this is one hell of what a “Man” should be.
Very insightful.
This is 100%. Personally I wouldn’t want kids in this perverted western culture.
And in the rest of the world, there is aspects of traditionalism but the threat of violence and wars is high. I don’t want my future kids to live in this world, when even I don’t
Good sentiments. I read the article because my wife and I have a boy due in August, our second child after our daughter.
On the basis of my experience so far with a daughter I would offer the following advice:
For the first year or so your main influence will be how well you keep your wife happyish and how you endure working without acknowledgement or thanks. Key is time with other men; preferably fathers.
Don’t worry about children not listening to you, worry that they’re always watching you.
Make conscious decisions about how much and which tv they watch. Use a hard drive system to avoid ads.
Have a strategy to maintain control of the house. Lift your game morally.
Work out how to stay married; encourage your wife to make happily married friends rather than fat divorced sluts.
Finally, talk to your boy from the start, and be gentle as you need to allow him the confidence to be brave.
Good luck brother!
Just too many jewels here
“While I would have loved the child no matter it’s gender”
Sorry, but I don’t believe that. You consider females to be inferior beings who are not only lacking in intelligence and strength, but who are apparently hellbent on emasculating the men of the world. It’s pretty obvious that you would consider a female child to be a hindrance, much in the same way that families in China and India don’t want girls because they consider them to be “expensive”.
Agree with almost everything you say. Except money. Money is fucking dirty shit. It’s the last strong hold of manipulation and control — and it shouldn’t be the basis for your decisions. Yes, you have to survive, and it’s the means by which this world is functioning at the moment–but look at what it turns us into??? Consumer ego-manical psychopaths !!!
Love is the glue that holds the universe together. Attraction. Money can’t buy you love. And it can’t make your kids better— think of all the rich assholes and their fat dumb kids. Money isn’t the answer. This is the transition we face as a species — and it boils down to love and fear. The machine wants us afraid, this is their modus operandi — keep us afraid in any way, we need a new mantra. Like FDR’s
“There’s nothing to fear but fear itself.”
RedPill Philosophy is basically Feminism with a penis.
The opposite gender is the lesser sex .
In my early twenties i fucked up and thought i was a women and took estrogen. Happy to say that ive broken out of that delusion, but now im a physically as well as mentally broken man. Pretty sure after 10 months im sterile, not that women would be attracted to me with my estrogenized face and chest anyway. I had no father growing up but what really got me is this powerful hatred for men , and by extension myself, ive always had. I dont even know where it comes from. I hope some of the changes reverse over time but really the hardest part to change is the mentality..
Fuk’n A. Good post. This is how I’m raising my boy. Some of this stuff, for example the importance of physical strength, is easy. On the other hand, critical thinking, digesting data from numerous sources, fact checking, and thinking through the potential or real biases, is a skill that takes time and serious training. Good on you if you can raise your boys this way – they will see through the bullshit and pave their own way.
