Sure, my newborn throws up on me daily, goes through far more diapers than I thought possible, makes constant little dinosaur noises, wants to eat every hour it seems, and doesn’t let me sleep. Still the best thing ever.

Life is precious. Have kids.

(I’m terrified though. How do you raise a child in this satanic shitshow our culture has become? How will I keep her safe? At least my happily blue-pill libertarian husband seems to be shaking himself out of his complacency; father instincts are an amazing thing to behold.)

I’m terrified though. How do you raise a child in this satanic shitshow our culture has become? How will I keep her safe?

I have small children that my wife stays home to raise and without God, I'd be terrified too. Every day I have to cast my cares on Him and carry on about my duties trying to serve him and provide for my family while trusting Him to guide my actions as completely as my children trust me. We live under His authority; it's our job to obey Him and it's His job to pick up the pieces.

Turn off all entertainment media and don't expose your child to electronic entertainment. It's all poisonous mind control. Instil respect for the patriarchial authority paradigm in your child from the earliest age possible. The top-down family unit with authority resting in the father not only keeps children safe but it's a reflection of the patriarchial structure of God's relationship to us. Marx wanted to annihilate the traditional family structure for a reason.

Homeschool your child. It's far easier than the Gramscian state re-educators want you to believe. There are still excellent textbooks available for homeschooling that teach didactically and that have no shadow of the common-core degeneracy. I can send you lists if you want. Keep it simple, teach Logic, mathematics, grammar, and writing. Read history and add supplemental topics as seems natural.

Making the decision to stay home and raise your child yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give both them and your husband. Returning to that paradigm is our only hope.

Saxon Math: Trigonometry and geometry are taught throughout. The final books in the series are calculus and physics. Get the 1st or 2nd edition only. The word problems in later editions are getting kiked up with common core bullshit. https://www.hmhco.com/shop/k12/Saxon-Math-1-Homeschool/9781565770188

Easy Grammar: Effective at teaching the structure of the English language. Try to find a supplemental handbook on sentence diagramming for when students are a bit more advanced. https://www.easygrammar.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html

Teach vocabulary and spelling as distinct classes early on. All you need for that is a dictionary, the older the better.

For the rest of the language arts, just read (preferably history) and write. There are tons of good handbooks for composition like The Elements of Style. https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-William-Strunk-Jr/dp/194564401X

Introductory and Intermediate Logic: Teach logic as a distinct course as early as your kids can retain the concept. Teaching your kids how to think and form arguments didactically is crucial. https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/introductory-logic-student-4th-edition_james-b-nance_douglas-j-wilson/462885/#edition=5284387&idiq=43731070

Exploring Creation with Science: Either find the earliest editions of the series or look up the newer series re-written by the author, Jay Wile, starting with Science in the Beginning. Apologia owns the Exploring Creation with Science series and started common-coring it up in the later editions. Wile re-wrote the series with the new title. These books are paired with supplemental lab kits and cover from middle school up through high school. The series lays an excellent foundation for technical writing. https://www.christianbook.com/page/homeschool/apologia?kw=exploring%20creation%20science&mt=b&dv=c&event=PPCSRC&p=1018818 https://bereanbuilders.com/ecomm/product/science-in-the-beginning/

All these course series end up at a level well above the 1st or 2nd year general courses offered at most universities. When I was growing up, the public schools around me tried to stop letting homeschooled students come and take their PSAT/SAT/ACT at the school because homeschooled kids who followed curriculum similar to this were always the top few percentiles and were getting a large portion of the national merit scholarships. Add in music lessons and religious studies, and other topics of interest like geography, astronomy, philosophy, electronics, mechanics, etc as they come up. It doesn't need to get super complicated. Teach real life skills like gardening, animal husbandry, auto-repair, woodworking, welding and whatnot as much as you are able. I hope that helps someone.

You’re absolutely right. And like my mom keeps telling me, we’re born into the time we belong to. If I can teach my daughter only one thing, I hope it’s discernment between good and evil.
