Old father with young kids here. My kids have given me a new perspective on life; it’s like traveling to a foreign land, confronting and exhilarating at the same time. I never felt such joy while simultaneously pulling my hair out.

The girls here of 6 and 3 are keeping us young. And they inspire me to build a better digital space for them. Better than what YouTube Kids is offering (for example). Work in progress

Have a 4 year old girl and a little boy arriving end of the year. My wife is amazing - watching her playing with our daughter I'm just in awe how lucky I am. Being a dad has completely changed my perspective on what's important. Would choose to be colouring in princesses with my daughter vs. any luxury you can imagine. It's also made me far more ruthless in how I approach my career. I want them to see me fulfilled and happy in my work. It helps to have some Bitcoin too - I just don't take any shit and do a good job on my own terms. I've always been mostly libertarian thinking, but having a family has also made me a bit more right wing lol 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Trying to raise a 6 and 4 year old in this crazy world Most rewarding and challenging adventure but wouldn’t trade it for the world Still trying to figure out who are the good and bad guys…reversing 30 years of state programming is tough but at the end of the day can only worry about the things that we can control.

Really? Surprised. Was listening to a pod this morning titled "How to Raise Godly Children by Josh Howerton and reflecting on Proverbs 11:14.."Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." Some good bits in that talk. Would be cool if we started a string of resources sharing stuff that has impacted our parenting. A few bangers that were shared with us along the way: Bringing up Boys by Dobson, Preparation for Parenting by Ezzos (OG Christian version of BabyWise), The Heart of Humility by Gilkerson, Tuttle Twins by Boyack, Wise Words for Moms by Hubbard.
Found out yesterday I will become a dad for the 4th time. I once told my wife that we win this cultural war by bringing more good people into the world, not by bunkering down and being afraid to have children. That's what the enemy wants.
10 and 8. Latest thoughts have been on Charlie K. shooters dad, building a relationship w kids that would prevent something like this. Hard to say at what point he went wrong but the world is a f’ed up place, and the protector role is no longer just physical.
Have one but wanting at least two more. I recently read the Fourth Turning and it is incredibly eye opening. I feel the major two blindspots for intellectuals these days are understanding austrian economics and the saeculum. I know so many peers who have no plans to have children. I feel they are locking themselves into an almost permanent state of childhood without ever reaching full maturity. It seems to me you need to be fully responsible for another human being to reach that next stage of development yourself.
