Don't circumcise if it's a boy. Be kind and gentle and be firm. You are not their friend you are their teacher.

children learn what you don't notice you are teaching them. If you are selfish, angry, entitled, gluttonous, lazy, or stupid your children will learn that. Start working on your own flaws to minimize your children's flaws.

The most important thing you can do is to not give them answers to questions. Ask them questions to make them think for themselves. Always question, never answer. Every answer you give them is a teaching moment lost. If you know an answer, ask them questions to make them get to the answer on their own. If you dont, ask them questions to understand their reasoning and then go learn it together. The single greatest gift you can give your child is the love of knowledge for knowledge sake.

Congratulations. Good luck and if you have any questions ask

Mein Kampf

Trust your instincts. It's not rocket science. My father never changed a diaper, never pushed a stroller. Until the day he died age 79, I called him for advice not my Mother. He taught me how to defend myself, shoot a rifle and play checkers. He was a strong disciplinarian and I respected him. Just the thought of disappointing him kept me from doing stupid girl shit when I was growing up. He gave me his frank opinion of my dates. He raised 3 daughters and a son. Good luck!

FTA: Your role as a father should be this: be there and let the child know you are there in the background, and that if anything ever comes to try to harm it, you will crush that threat like an insect with the palm of your hand. That is what a child needs from you: he (or she, if you are thus cursed) needs you to be the thing in its environment that maybe doesn’t like it that much, maybe yells at it now and again, but would give his life to keep it safe if he had to, but who would never have to because he is so strong an army of creatures of the night couldn’t make him flinch.

It is imprinted on a child’s brain, part of the “firmware,” if you will, to look around in his environment and identify a nurturer and protector as distinct entities. The problem with this “two mommies” business is that if you play mommy, then the child is looking around for his father and not finding one. His primitive psyche believes that he was cursed with two mommies, and zero daddies. That is very damaging to the child. It will cause permanent damage to his psyche.

wait, someone is actually pregnant ! I havnt seen a pregnant lady in like 2 years

The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi.

(18 min.)

The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care is excellent. They are anti vax and have great content on polically incorrect nutrition.

Also "how to raise a healthy child in spite of your doctor," is fantastic but I do think the author is a jew. However, its basically about various childhood illnesses and taking care of them to avoid seeing your pediatrician as much as possible because they can do a lot of damage.

Also, look for a vaccine choice friendly pediatrician now. Many times a functional medicine pediatrician will be cool. Call local chiropractors or non hospital birth centers and ask if they can recommend a pediatrician- many times they know because they serve that clientelle.
