From my personal and family experience, it’s good for most people to live home around 18-21. They can travel, explore, carry their own weight - and perhaps come back to the neighborhood/village/estate when they are ready to start their own family. In Israel it is actually the common approach, and we have the highest fertility rate in the developed world… It is harder, for most people, to actually find a wife/husband without living their parents’ home. But once they find them - many prefer to raise grandchildren close to their grandparents

I used to be entirely in the camp that said you should kick your kids out at 18 and force them to live independently and make their own way in the world. I don’t feel that way at all anymore. I want all my kids to live with us until they get married. Even after they’re married, if they want to live on our property, or close by, my wife and I would love that. The important thing is to teach your kids responsibility, which we’re doing. They need to contribute and help around the house, which all of our kids do from a very young age. Provided you aren’t raising ungrateful useless moochers, why kick them out? Why drive them away from your family home? I don’t see the point in it anymore. I actually like my kids and like being around them. Maybe they’ll all end up scattered to the wind. But I’d prefer to keep the family together. Why wouldn’t I?

@NoahRevoy What would be the roles of a wife and mother, based on this frame? Or would you use a different approach for the female counterpart?

This is an ILLEGAL war on Mordor. We’re told Sauron “poses an existential threat,” yet somehow this involves sending hobbits 1,500 miles to a volcano. Regime change in Mordor will only create a power vacuum filled by worse orcs. Sauron is bad, sure. But is he “march to Mount Doom” bad? Meanwhile second breakfast is underfunded. Tell me again how this puts the Shire first?

The ideal number of siblings for your children is one more than you feel comfortable with. Just a little more. By stretching yourself slightly, by choosing to love one more child than feels easy, you create a stronger family structure. Of course, not everyone has that option. Some people begin having children later and cannot have as many as they would like. Some discover that they cannot have children at all. Others face medical risks that limit how many times they can safely give birth. But when you do have the choice, that simple formula is a useful guide. This reflects a broader principle: the right amount of almost anything is slightly beyond your comfort level. Growth happens there. Strength is built there. That is where you expand your capacity. Greatness is built just beyond the edge of comfort.

Pro-natalism in action (still struggling with professors who don’t fully support it, some times…)
Rotem Cohen@RotemFrankCohen

It’s true - I live in Israel and study for ph.d (now returning from maternity leave). The people are so welcoming of babies, that I can come for full days in university with the baby: people babysit him, feed me, and the professors are very accommodating. All of them have a few children act as well, men and women alike. The ones who don’t support mothers are going against the norm. I’m so grateful to live in a country like this.

(1) Yes, it is true that less female education is associated with higher fertility. That is widely known. But how is that useful? What politically viable solutions follow from that? (2) There are not 3 just factors driving birthrates. There are many. Religiosity and direct pronatal or antinatal beliefs are clearly major factors as well. (3) Housing *is* a large factor. Fertility rates can be 2 or 3 times as high with low density, larger housing as in dense urban configurations. The lowest fertility rates in the world, <1.0 and often < 0.6, are found when people live among a sea of high-rise apartment towers for many obvious reasons. The Baby Boom was partly about suburbanization. (4) It isn't a revelation that Afghanistan's model of low education and female oppression results in higher fertility, is it? But Afghanistan isn't a very nice country. Brutish, primitive. What solutions to the fertility crisis are compatible with the world we have and with the world we want? I argue that direct pronatalism, the positive belief in the value of having more children, is a great answer. Why does Israel, educated and modern, have high fertility? Why are the Vances expecting their fourth child when Usha Vance is a highly educated modern woman? The answer is direct pronatal values, often motivated by religious belief.

There are 3 factors which correlate strongly with replacement plus fertility: 1. Earlier female marriage, 2. fewer years of female education, 3. lower rates of female wage employment. Not paternity leave, or 4,000 sq ft suburb houses, etc. But this is naughty to discuss.

@limitlessleila @NoahRevoy Not perfect, sure; but who of us is? If they are willing to change and improve for the child, they are good parents. Perhaps they weren’t able to do that for a partner

A woman who spends two decades looking for a husband and yet cannot find a man who can tolerate her, or whom she can tolerate, is missing the social skills or personality traits required to raise a child well. For both men and women, finding and sustaining a mate is a prerequisite test for parenthood. It requires cooperation, patience, self regulation, and long term commitment. If someone cannot pass that test, it disqualifies them from the far greater demands of raising a child. In all of these discussions, my concern is the child. The child is the only person who does not get to choose whether to be there.
Jill Filipovic@JillFilipovic

So many MAGA people mad but like... if a hetero woman is 40, single, and wants a child, she has *probably* spent many years looking for a partner. She hasn't found one, and doesn't have more time to spare. You all demand women have children, but then you judge them if they have children without a husband, and you judge them if they have children with men who turn out to be bad fathers, but then you also judge them if they don't settle for any random man. Not every woman's life works out perfectly; the vast majority of us do not meet the perfect guy at 22 so that we can start having babies at 25. (Most of us don't *want* to start having babies at 25). But you all talk about this as if a woman who is having a child by herself at 40 has chosen that path since childhood. The reality is usually much more complicated. Women cannot make perfect men materialize out of thin air. We also do have limitations on when we can have babies. Sometimes those two things conflict. Have some damn grace.

Interpersonal relationships are a learned behavior, not innate. Every trait has a positive expression, and a way to be pro-social. With regards to modeling, the other, healthier parent can model better relationships. The more problematic partner might still be able to bond with the kid, teach and protect him/her

These people are bad for the kid. Divorce is a terrible example, as are the poor relationship mechanics, judgement, likely lack in theory of the mind and restraints etc, that are modeled for the kid in the poor relationship. Worse, these parents that are bad partners have genetic combinations that make them bad partners. Likely to pass on the same traits and have children that have poor social skills, theory of the mind, etc. If your relationships sucks, you can’t be a good parent. Can’t think of a single example of someone with terrible relationships who is a great parent. They simply cannot model, and don’t have the right traits to model, effective interactions between humans. As social creatures, that might be the single most important skill.

@RotemFrankCohen @NoahRevoy "Generally yes" Shouldve stopped there. Rare cases a husband or wife are actually "toxic" (usually drugs) and leaving is the correct choice. We know most of the time its not a critically toxic situation, and its just selfishness.

@Caledoniaz @NoahRevoy A relationship with a kid shouldn’t be unfulfilling. You can derive great satisfaction from nurturing and guiding someone else, and it shouldn’t feel like a great sacrifice to prioritize them. If it is, you are probably doing something wrong.

@RotemFrankCohen @NoahRevoy Being great with your kid means prioritizing their wellbeing over your own. Which means sucking it up in an unfulfilling relationship. So, no, they are not great with their kid. They are great at convincing themselves they are, though.

@NoahRevoy @Caledoniaz Ideally, yes. Realistically - you need two to tango. And if one person is not willing to change, or there is an essential incompatibility, the best you can do is separate amicably

How much time does housework take you daily? For us it’s about one hour. What can you do in one hour a day? My schedule is tight enough that this hour is gold. It is my chance to work on writing my book, exercising properly or spending quality time with one of the kids. It all depends on what this time is worth to you

@RotemFrankCohen @thegenesisbl0ck Unless I was impaired in some way, I can’t imagine paying people to do housework, I can do myself, if I’m at home. Possibly some big or heavy jobs, like outside window cleaning, or decorating, but not everyday housework and chores. Seems lazy.

What happens when a woman is intelligent enough to see the long-term value of being a SAHM, but too intellectually restless to reduce that role to housework and washing the dishes alone?

@unseriousguru What if it’s a dance if both? The man’s love encourages his wife to submit to him, and her submission inspires more love, etc.? In order to let someone lead you, it’s better to know he loves you, and therefore has your best interest at heart ♥️

When I think of the extent God asked man to love his wife, it gives me goosebumps. Imagine a man loving you to the extent of laying his life for you just as Christ did. But do you know what you owe your husband to be able to get such love?? It’s submission. Just submit, don’t question it. Submission doesn’t reduce you; it positions you. It could make you feel like you're a f00l, but you'd enjoy the results. It creates peace and trust in the home. That kind of submission makes sacrificial love possible.

Controversial point of view: What if kids are meant to play with other kids, not with adults? Adults can watch the kids play, teach them games and nurture them. Evolutionary, there is evidence that things were done this way. You can only play with your kids if you enjoy it, or if, for some reason, the don’t have other kids to play with

Not everything should be analyzed through the lens of moral judgement (cultural good/bad), some things are better understood through the examination of what naturally occurs

Someone told me they don’t play with their kids because they don’t find it fun or fulfilling. We’ve completely lost the plot. Something doesn’t have to be fun or fulfilling for it to be important to do. Parenting is an act of service. It’s not about you. Play with your kids.
