I am aware that many people feel differently than I do. And, I understand well the social utility in stably-married heterosexual couples adopting. Oh, and healthy white infants are few are far between WRT adoption in the U.S. post-Roe vs. Wade, and nearly as expensive to obtain as what we're doing. (Adopting an 8-YO black crack baby with lots of "special needs" I wouldn't consider doing at gunpoint.) And, I have some pretty good genes that I believe are a public service to pass on. |

Wow, after reading his posts over the last several weeks I have to say is WOW. Hey, MNS what would you do if your baby girl grew up and rebelled, got pregnant from a black muslim activist. Would you reject that girl and baby as a bastard child? Its a risk we as parents face. Heck even the most godly parents have children who rebel.

Re what we'd do if that scenario you outlined came to pass, certainly a combination of love, moral and life guidance as possible, and not enabling the behavior would be in order. Certainly, such a person as you described them getting involved would not be allowed on our property or at family functions; same as if they had a homosexual lover, say. I think these guys have a pretty good handle on how a parent should interact with children that have gone that astray: http://www.helpyourteens.com/tough_love.php ================================================== Davy, a question: you said "Methinks you are prouder of yourself than you need to be". How proud (of inborn qualities and positive achievements both) do you believe a person "needs" to be? |

All of us are fallible. That's why we need wisdom from outside ourselves, albeit others may be worse off than ourselves in understanding the correct path. (Any prepper expects lots of the latter.)

[quote=MinnesotaSmith;1405372]And, you're certainly right that even the best parents have children that go far astray. Still, though, the odds of that are far less than for poor parents. You already know we intend to homeschool. I'm a big fan of NO television for the too-young-to-legally drive crowd (most of them, their skills in the 3 R's scream that they don't have that surfeit of extra time to waste on something harmful like that), although my wife is less hard-core on it than am I. And, we're determined to keep any children we have away (especially unsupervised) from the seriously screwed-up kids (products of divorce or bastardy, MTV-watchers, attend public schools, use recreational chemicals, the usual paths to such) until they're of age that their values are set. I'm a big fan of traditional chaperonage on dates for daughters that still live in my house. I figure that unsupervised dates and the period of time between when kid gets home from public school and the first parent gets home from work are when the bulk of teen pregnancies are conceived in intact families; eliminate those situations, you've eliminated most teen pregnancy right there. The pattern that Orthodox Jews use of daughters normally going straight from their father's household to their husband's is of course the rest of what living arrangements would be required to make avoiding bastardy almost certain.
