You must be intentional when interacting with kids!

“Feminism brought the confused idea that women are free when they serve their employers, but they are slaves when they help their husbands.”

Dating Advice for Girls

For the first few dates.

Rule one, the man pays. Your job is to be worth it.

When at a restaurant, ask him what he is thinking of having so that you can see the price range he is comfortable with. Order something similarly or slightly less expensive, especially on the first few dates.

Ask to be taken for breakfast or coffee and then let him choose the specific place. You can go to a place like a bar where there is alcohol involved later when you know each other better. (Even if he doesn't drink, other people in the space are. Eliminate the uncertainties you can and go to an alcohol-free venue.)

Don't over or under dress.

Dont talk too much about yourself unless asked. In conversation, be interested in him. Ask him about himself and genuinely listen. Men are always surprised when women remember little details they told them. If he doesn't ask you about yourself, it's probably not a good sign.

Be yourself and don't lie. He doesn't need to know every little thing right from the start, but don't lie. If you come with disclaimers about yourself (i.e. a child, job moves you around a lot, etc), voice them early on. It just makes it easier for both of you.

Be firm about what you want. Don't compromise on your values or expectations just because he is cute or a sweet talker.

Voice those expectations early. If you want to be in it for the long road, you need to know if your goals and ideal futures are compatible, and if he can truly help you achieve them.

It is not "gold-diggery" to want a man with a good job and good earning potential. It's smart, especially if you know you want a family one day.

Been obsessed with Alex Clark's podcast lately and this was fantastic!

PS. If you're not a trad girly and you don't know where you fall regarding having kids one day or if you feel lost in your dating life, please take a listen to this. Suzanne's advice is very centre of the road and she offers a perspective not heard a lot in modern culture.

Ah yes, excuse me for having a biological need and for having the faith to send children into the world to make it a better, more hopeful, more joyful place.

Some of you need to learn that all living things are programmed to want to reproduce and it's natural for that to be a goal for someone.

I don't mean to always play with your kids no matter what. You are right, kids need time on their own and boredom is excellent to breed creativity. Constant adult presence during play isn't what we want.

I'm talking about that fact that this author's children not wanting to play with them is not healthy. And it is sick to encourage this and signal to the world through a headline, "Hey, it's okay if your kids don't want to engage with you. It's actually normal. Look, we're like that too."

I had plenty of times growing up when I played by myself, but I was always thrilled when my parents joined in. That's normal. That should be encouraged.

These people are damaging their children!!

That headline honestly speaks volumes about the media's attempts and agenda to break up, damage, and discourage families.

This is pathetic and horribly sad. If your children don't want to play with you – their parent, the person who is supposed to love them endlessly and unconditionally – you are 100% the problem.

It is evil to encourage this.
