Anyone heard of “Love & Logic”? I’ve heard a lot of good things about it for a few years, but my wife and I just got the book a couple months ago.
So far it’s lived up to most of the hype, but it’s still early and I gotta finish the book. 😅
Can we get a quick rundown
@Grossly Incandescent we're gonna let it be a surprise
Exciting!
@Grossly Incandescent Sorry, were you talking to me? Yeah, I’ll try to summarize the methodology. It’s called “Love and Logic” but you could also call it “Empathy and Natural Consequences”, it’s just not as catchy. Basically, you make sure you administer all discipline with a healthy dose of empathy so you’re not the bad guy. And discipline should be natural consequences as much as possible.
@celticflame thanks!
I’m sure everyone’s noticed this at least once, but what are your thoughts on this modern style of parenting where the kid whines and the parents just hand them a smartphone or tablet.
@Grossly Incandescent that is being grossly negligent. It will cause those kids many problems later in life
It makes me sad, these kids can’t even speak and they’re already being conditioned by too much screen time and instant gratification, all because the parents are lazy
When you reward whining, you get more whining.
Nice to see this new channel as I haven't visited this server in a while! We have been enjoying this new addition to our family!
@Volkmom congratulations on your new addition! So cute! Wish I had one that little still.
ty!!!
Any thoughts on kids playing rough sports? My nephew is interested in football, but my brother is concerned about injury
I would not let my kids play football. Loads of concussions that leave irreversible brain damage. I’m not going to make them stay inside all day, but why play head-butt games with blacks?
My high-IQ normie friends who love watching football won’t let their own kids play football. They know better.
I swam and played water polo. Both very athletic and low impact
When I was a kid my dad made me play football and I never really wanted to. But if the kid wants to do it and isn’t being forced/ pressured into it they might get really resentful if they’re not allowed to

Lots of kids play football and turn out fine. If he's older, too, he probably won't play very long
I totally get the worry of injury. I broke my arm playing football. But a kid won’t think about that and just get upset
That being said, though, my brother broke his wrist a few summers ago at Freshman football tryouts
Maybe flag football if the option is available?
You don't really have to worry about head injuries until high school. the kids simply cant hit hard enough at that age
I think there is a lot of value in boys playing physical, team oriented sports, though if we have sons this will probably be an issue of contention with my wife and I. Depending on the school, you wont really run into a lot of pituitary case blacks, either.
I played through high school and dont regret it, even though I had at least one concussion, a broken wrist and beat up knees and shoulders. College ball is something else entirely, though. Probably not worth it.
I'm not a parent but I wanted to share pictures of my niece.
She's definitely a mover I took about a dozen pictures and these were the least blurry.
From some father son time. My 10 year old and middle son.
The fish was 4 lbs 5 ounces and 14.5 inches long.
Damn, dude. That's nice
Was his first cast that night also. Haha.
If your kid can’t fish and hunt are you even raising white kids?
I grew up in the suburbs, bro. It's a depressing fact that I never learned to be a man
^
@JesseJames I'd love to hunt and fish unfortunately my dad never took me as a kid (I don't think he knew how either)
You don't have to live on a lake to fish at one.
