No nuclear family

No family time

I always found it odd how disjointed western families can be.

Yes I agree there

I think maybe I crave strong inner circles because they were so disjointed in my own life

My mother on the other hand had too strong of a family circle and resented it

Once you reach 16 or 18 many don't care about their family anymore. One of the reasons chinese/koreans are so strong, not only IQ-wise but also through valuing family ties.

In my mom's house when she was young, there was an iron rule from her father

If he said something it was law

Many of us non-westerns still value our grandparents and keep them near us if possible

My mom had huge fights with her parents when she wanted to escape that and planned to move to Austria

Especially parents. To repay them and also they help rear our own kids

And again when she wanted to marry my dad in Vienna

They drove her away

By clinging to her

Yeah of course that's too much

Too strict and you create resentment

Yeah it made my mom a perfect target for commies

But your young generation find being told to do the dishes, cellphone use limited, as "abuse" nowadays lmfao

I tell myself I must be the one to keep her from falling deeper into it

I resent the detachment that I experienced in my own family

I'm her antidote basically

Good on you. Keep that

Btw she's a very loving mom, don't get me wrong

She's my rock

That's one thing the leftists can never have. Valuing family. They all seem to hate their parents

Yep

Maybe that is the solution to marxism

Then they end up old and bitter and alone

Maybe the value of family bonds is what the conservatives must promote above all other values

They never seem to compromise, which is a backbone to keeping relationships strong

The smallest of slights is an affront to their narcissism

What do you think we can do to put family back into their minds?

Yeah, although i'd recommend less emphasis on it being a "christian" thing

Lacking family values is why the 13 do 50.

Optics. Cause it ain't only christians who value family

Yeah I'm 100% atheist

My dad is Christian

My connection to him has never been stronger, and that even though I used to hate him

Firstly, reintroduce Home Economics and Basic Economics (the valuable skills)

For some reason it's not mandatory in America
