Thread for kiwis trying to raise families in an increasingly low trust society.
If you're trying to raise healthy, capable children who are prepared for whatever, post that here.

Today we are gardening. Strawberries are a great starter for children, most will eat them and it's not much work for a good "crop". They taste much better than what you get at the shops, however prepare to spend more keeping slugs and birds off them than you would buying them.
 
JUST DO IT.

FAMILY ROCKS.

I LOVE MY FAMILY.

GONNA MAKE MY SON PLANT CARROTS SO HE'LL HATE VEGGIES AND ONLY WANT TO EAT STEAK LIKE GOD INTENDED.
 
I won't actually have the kid popped out until September / October. Going to homeschool, but that's years away. Have chickens, quail, and a garden. May soon have goats. Looking forward to introducing the little squirt to all of that as soon as possible.
 
We recently bought ourselves some land in a 'rural location in western europe' for a few reasons.

Enough land to sustain ourselves with a good enough climate to not struggle in winter. A country which outside of the cities has an excellent school system for our future kids but there's still a community available. Good variety of nature nearby as well.

Having lived in many countries at this point, I feel like I've made a good choice that balances the future welfare of me and my wife/future kids whilst being close enough to our existing family that we aren't isolating ourselves.
 
This thread has potential. I'll put together an effortpost on this at some point soon based on my experiences as a father that many kiwis may identify with as far as trying to keep modernity from destroying my children, but they are still young so there's a lot left to go and many things I hope improve for their sakes because I can't help much, for example the horrid state of the dating/relationship prospects of young people.
 
Very concerned about the way i'll have to address the internet and whatever slop my kids consume from it. It feels like they're a tantrum away from falling into Lilith Alexia Luna's greasy paws in discord, youtube or whatever social media there is, and since in their head i'm the bad dad who told them "no", it'd be easier to listen to the love bombing groomer instead.

Wishing you all the best for the impending arrival. Sounds like you have a wonderful home to bring a new baby into.

This is one of our biggest concerns. Primary age children using tiktok, Roblox and having devices.

Absolute lunacy, Europe is toast and has lost whatever power it had on the Ukraine war and with usa saying figure it out you are on your own it's just matter of time bunch of African warlords realise Europe is Rome circa 400 ad no standing armies and demoralised and disarmed population who won't fight back nor knows how is easy for rape and pillage.

What were you smocking when you made this decision?

Something called 'being in love with my wife'.

This is why we want to live somewhere with more of a community. If there are kids their own age who also aren't just online all the time then hopefully the draw of devices won't be as strong. Plus having the time for both of us to have a hand in actively raising our children and not just letting devices/TV occupy them instead.
 
Home school your kids and don’t let them have regular access to screens.
buddy of mine has 4 kids and he allows them to have toys (bikes, toy guns, action figures) but he refuses to let them have cell phones/pads till they're 16 not a bad rule tbh. A good memory was me and my dad reading the harry potter series to me as a 5th grader.

When I was kid the internet was still very new and it was very much a playground for pedos (before they started calling it a human right) I remember we went through a "cyber safety" course, alot of the lessons still apply today such as:
  • Don't give your address to anyone you don't know
  • If you don't know the person don't give them pictures
  • Don't accept "gifts" from anyone online
  • Internet is forever
  • IF YOU DONT KNOW THESE FAGGOTS IRL DON'T GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFO
Aside from that a good rule of thumb is see to it your kid plays one martial sport if they don't like what their playing switch it
Plus alot of these attention seeking teen troons are insufferable amongst modern teens anyway

Highly recommend volunteering the odd shift at whatever club/group your child attends. Builds community but you can also get a swatch at who's around the kids.

Least if you let the internet raise your child there's a helpline. This must be just for white kids though as the Southport Killer was reported several times and nothing happened.

If I ever find a boyfriend-free girl to raise a family off-grid with, I'd love to have four (more if we can swing it) kids and raise them away from the corrupted, degenerate niggerfaggotry that has afflicted the English speaking world for generations. I want to pre-screen children's books and read to them as soon as I can tell they can pay attention to something to develop the language parts of their brains. As soon as they can mimic and hold implements well, we're singing the ABCs and tracing letters. From there, it's a matter of spelling and encouraging them to read for themselves.

Next comes numeracy. After they can sing their ABCs and write letters, we're counting and writing numbers. As soon as they can asnwer "What are the next two/three numbers after 2?" we're heading straight into arithmatics. We'll practice a little bit most days until they have the basics down. Then come intermediate matters such as grammar, fractions/decimals, and algebra. Once that's in the bag, nothing is truly beyond their reach. We can go to the local library to gain more knowledge for them without resorting to using the Internet. I want to indulge all the curiosities of a flourishing mind so they grow up well-rounded and well-read.

As I understand it, high school used to be what people did to go the extra mile, and it wasn't mandatory. People could lead decent lives with just a strong enough foundation in language and mathematics, but attended high shcool for a higher position in their first job. It was such a good plan, the government enforced it on everyone, and the next higher education became college, and now that's de facto mandatory. Sounds good on paper, but certain types took advantage of that to bundle subversive ideology with students' chosen fields of study as a requirement for a degree. It's all bogus; there's nothing worth learning in college that can't be learned on your own if you dig deep enough. The only exception to this are certain STEM degrees that give access to hard-to-acquire resources, like medicine. If my children really want to become doctors or chemists, I'll look into avenues for paying for their degrees, but I won't encourage they go to college.

For our general lifestyle, I envision something of a family business. We produce enough food for ourselves, plus extra for profit. This also has educational value, teaching resource management and business acumen. I intend on my children understanding the fact that there's always money to be made if you're willing to sweat, and you can work for yourself instead of a boss. We'll till the earth, sow the seeds, water and prune the plants, harvest the crops, process and preserve the produce, make some profit, and discuss the family budget.

We'll enjoy leisure and play in the gaps between education and work. I would love to do dramatic readings of stories, or ride mountain bikes innawoods. I want to introduce them to the arts so they find a means of self expression that resonnates with them. We'll draw, doot, and maybe even put on little plays for ourselves. History can be very dry and mind numbing to those who don't have a true hunger for it, but if it becomes fun, say as a play where we each take on the role of a historic figure, then the re-enacted events will linger in their minds and develop a broad horizon. Even the costume design will be exploratory and educational on some level. We can even record it as a treat for their grand parents.

The only thing I haven't figured out is how to find the right girl to stand by me for my crazy venture. I hold onto high standards but I'm open to suggestions.
