Because it is.

If your daughter got "indoctrinated by the schools" then is not the blame to rest upon your shoulders?

You put them into the globohomo concentration camp. Why are you acting as if your daughter is behaving contrary to her upbringing?

Men do not seek excuses. Real men act. It is what separates men from boys and women.

I figure, best case scenario, I hold a perspective of the minority here.

Not the first time I was mistaken for female lol. Nah I'm in my sixties, male, homeschooled seven boys.

Well said, you get it, wish everyone did. Everybody's too afraid now to be different, to be first, to be a 'pioneer,' though it's really just going back to the past, the 'generational housing' as you put it.

I was lucky to be born into a family where my grandparents on one side owned a farmhouse and over 50 acres of farmland. I had a lot of aunts and uncles, they gradually moved out as they got married and such... but growing up, I spent a lot of time in the farmhouse. i had a lot of cousins, who also stayed there with me.

Writing this, I almost want to cry- it was so idyllic, looking back. I had all of my cousins, varying in age from 4-16ish, and my grandmother to be with when I was young. I didn't go to daycare- my grandmother and cousins looked after me while I helped on the farm and played outside. And I'm relatively young- I guess I'm an "older" millennial, or just previous to that generation. We had a Nintendo Entertainment System and two TVs, one VCR in the farmhouse. Lots of rooms, bunk beds, MASSIVE dinner table next to a pot belly stove, a gunrack in the next room with a collection of rifles and pistols and shotguns (poorly maintained since my grandfather passed, but still there).

I wasn't raised by strangers. I was raised by my family. Most of my friends- literally my blood, we're close in age and share similar interests. All the girls were tomboys until they hit their teens, all of us boys were athletic and participated in sports. And our parents would also spend a lot of time there with us, just the family all together... it was beautiful, and I am so grateful to have had that situation. I was protected, but taught. I was cared for, but disciplined. I had comradery with my cousins. And this was all possible because we had large house in which many of our parents lived, even after marrying.

Damn... I feel a little sad now. I won't be able to give that life to my child. And that lifestyle seems to be going by the wayside, depriving so many people of the wonderful upbringing that comes with having a large family in generational housing while being financially stable, without assistance from the state or any outsiders. I'm going to go find some photos of my grandparents, and cry for a little while. Catch you later, BoppBro.

Man, you about made me cry as well. Beautiful, made you who you are today.

Just do the best you can with what you have now, concerning your kids.

My kids had a very atypical upbringing as well, it was amazing, wouldn't change much (just some of my stupid mistakes).

I'm a very nostalgic person as well, makes it rough, cause you can't go back.
