Responsability and accountability.
Two major building blocks in the successful human experience.
Our social structure is fractured and failing because of the political PC mandates that incrementally remove those qualities from children started correctly and not allowed in to children neglected and thrown away.
The ones in power now never grew up, or are 'in the know' and with evil and malice aforethought perpetuate the destruction of America.
Christiams pray for men of strength to continue in the fight.
They want a woman’s right to shoes.
I like your substitute for “The Main Media” for “The Lame Media.”
My wife & I were married 52 years (104 together) last March.
We both agreed, she would continue at her away from home job for a year. (We did not want to set our standard of living based on both salaries).
I finished school at the end of that year, we relocated, she decided to work another year, then we wold buy a home. She then started keeping foster children, in our home.
After keeping ten different children (not all at the same time) the next 4 years, then we had 3 children of our own.
We both had very rewarding years (for the last year+ she in in a life care support home) in all we did with our marriage, and in our home. God blessed both of us, and our 3 grown children, and now our 9 grandchildren.
The media and all else would have moulded us to life of differences choices, but both of us would do it all over again, if we could.
We have purposed to claim the following two verses:
“I beseech (beg) you therefore brethren (& sisters), by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to the world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of god.” (Romans 12:1-2)
at cocktail parties when a woman is asked what she does

Why go to a cocktail party where the people are so short on subjects of conversation ???
This is beautiful. I hope you have a blog somewhere in which you can preserve this writing. The juxtaposition is on target.
who the heck goes to cocktail parties anyway?
Families work best when a woman is at home. God bless the women and men who understand this. God help those who don’t.
Come on - every man knows precisely what women want: your wallet and your nuts.
It’s not rocket science.
I’m not a woman so obviously take this with a grain of salt - I think many women become surprised when they have kids at how strong the bond is and their desire to be with their children becomes overwhelming. They almost feel guilty about these feelings. Moderm feminism has caused doubt to creep in unfortunately. Women shouldn’t “want” to stay home with their kids. They should want to get back to their careers and shouldn’t feel bad about it at all. When in reality most feel very bad and guilty when they return to work.
My wife has a more “powerful” career than most women. She’s a highly educated and accomplished engineer. She now works for a consulting firm and is an expert in “Lean Manufacturing”. That being said, she’d ditch it all in a heartbeat in order to stay home with our two sons. I don’t think she thought that having our children would have such a profound effect on her. When she hears the occasional pleading of “Don’t go to work mommy! Stay home!”, it’s like a dagger in her heart.
Well, we’ve come a long way since the 70’s, when a typical reaction would have been somewhere between “you’re selling out the entire sisterhood” and “your offspring are stealing my air, Soylent Green is People!”
At least today a fair number of folks do respect the decision to stay at home.
That, my friends, is one of the secrets of life.
My parents used to host or attend drinks parties. Dad was a Navy officer. That was a long time ago, though.
That is true. Please tell my husband, he doesn’t believe me!
Get dressed up and take him someplace where nobody will recognize him then just lay down the law...
We’ve had several women that were mothers work for us, including a couple of engineers. I cannot think of one that would not have preferred to be with their kids. They were all working for economic reasons only.
The saddest part of that statement is that by you time you factor in daycare, car expenses, other job related expenses, and taxes, even the engineers weren’t making that much. It’s just reflective of the changes that have taken place in our society - and few of them for the better!
