A little lengthy bur worth the read. The Left hates the book because it proves the necessity of mothers in their children's lives. She also talks about the different necessity of fathers. Both of these concepts make the Leftist angry.

I used to see advertisements for fatherhood.gov on the SEC Network all the time. It was one after another.

So our government has to tell men how to behave like a civilized human being? Taxpayers have to pay to tell worthless POS to get off their lazy ass and be a father?

By the way, most of the commercials used white breeders as their examples .... got to be PC.

I am like this, if a breeder isn’t taking care of his current offspring, have them fixed.

Feminism at its core is an anti fertility cult.

Something their own father should be telling them to do.

There is a lot of failing going on in the world today in this department.

If you get to read the article it mentions how Young men want their wives to work as much as them and make as much money as them. That necessitates either not having children or going back to work after having children.

Money has become more important than children. Our priorities are very messed up.

Maybe after you read the book you can hand it off to the parents to be.

Agree. The priorities are all wrong. Money isn’t everything. Once upon a time, families didn’t all need a half million dollar home. Now it seems a necessity for so many. The home with the white picket fence isn’t the goal anymore.

With their fierce support of abortion on demand there is little argument to be made to the contrary.

Yes, quite the point.
Grandma already seconded the motion.

Posted about about my family. Deleted it. Let’s just say we learned the hard way how important mothers are to raising healthy children.

Right there with you.

You never get another chance at childhood and no matter how much money you have you can’t fix your children after they are grown.

Don’t discount parental alienation... it is pervasive especially in the middle class white community.

Look up Doctor Craig Childress on YouTube

Also look up Golden uterus syndrome. Fathers basically have zero rights especially in blue States
