I’d like to know what the percentage of bitcoiners that are homeschooling, either parents or kids. I’m thinkin it’s a lot.
But seriously, as a country, can yall just start making lots of babies please? My window has closed and we have six. I have many stories.
But yall younger folks…
Don’t believe the lie that you can’t afford to have “that many” kids. And pour into those little people. It’s a proof of work like no other.
Got 3 homeschooling LFG!
Work in progress 🫡🧡👶
I was homeschooled. Apparently the naysayers were right and I didn't end up fitting in with society... 😂
Same! Hey normies we ar NOT the same!
I hope God blesses me with many kids!
And I won’t be buying them much because I don’t align with the rampant consumerism in our society so not too worried about affordability 😂 just have to make sure I have enough to keep them well fed
I hope He does too! I’m thankful for your outlook
Only have 1 so far! How to talk your wife into having 3+? Could use some advice 😅
So, it’s not about how many (and it is). It’s about you and your wife being on the same page about supporting her through anything and everything, including taking responsibility for their homeschooling and spending dad time and being a good steward with what you’ve been given (spouse, children, talents, time, finances). This is just one overall aspect.
So if she feels supported and is on board with how it’s going with your first child she may warm to the idea. I would suggest not saying how great it would be to have more children. Nurture her, take care of her. Romance her and keep dating her. Pledge to yourself to continue working on your relationship in all times and circumstances. Plan special little overnights once or twice a year that just you two go on. She needs that. And she will love you for seeing that she needs that. ❤️
So, love grows. As it grows there are more children, Lord willing. Those are my first couple of thoughts
Oh yes, our family. We were both from single child households and we wanted children. Starting later in life made it so we are a bit older now with still younger-ish kids at home.
But from a macro perspective, we’re very active (I’m a young 60ish and my wife is 50ish), and that’s our story. But if I’d to do over again (not) I’d be mentally able to marry once and enjoy my family in my youth. Then later I could go have fun (with just her) and be a grandparent so I can check the grandkids back in to their parents after Grandpa time 😊
Thank you so much for the insight! I value your perspective being a seasoned father with many children. I’m new to all this so I’m grateful for the advice
We've got one. No home school 🤙
2...wouldn't dream of homeschooling them. Neater me or my wife are experts in all needed teaching subjects to do better jobs than teachers in school. We help em when help is needed.
Wow. Ok
This is anectodal but may be helpful..
My wife is in a local bitcoin group for ladies, and about 15 out of the 30 have kids. There are only one or two that are planning to put their kids in school (mainly for foreign language learning).
The rest are currently homeschooling or plan to when kids get bigger (we shall see if that number goes down when the rubber hits the road and the boomer grandparent pressure ramps up)
Love it. There are some fantastic homeschooling resources, some state specific. Also books, another post on that soon
3 under 11 - zero home school
Fuck that. 😆
In my neighborhood there are zero homeschoolers, and I would know because my son would share that with me.
The fiat, twisted “me-first, screw you” mentality is rampant among the children that we’ve interacted with here. Our church and families we know that have children that are respectful, joyful and understand sin and repentance not because they’ve been taught (though they have) but because their parents are committed to living that life, modeling repentance and a faith filled life.
You don’t sit in a public school classroom and figure that out as a kid. You need your parents to help you marinate in that. Day in day out, with regular family worship also.
I’m on a tear this morning. Where’s my coffee
Homeschooling our 2 and teaching them about sound money, this is the only way. Kids need their parents first and foremost. Unfortunately I know no one else around me who is into both.
Fantastic! You’re engaged and have vision. Your support can be right here on nostr, to begin with. Hang in, you will find others like minded near you, in time
I was homeschooled through high school, and when I have my own kids will definitely homeschool them.
110%
They left half of us not fertile with their bullshit... 😤
Yeah, hmm. There is another way but it’s road less travelled. We also foster>adopted so there’s that route to growing ones family. It’s not all rainbows and lollipops even if you get a baby. It’s a lot, BUT it can be very rewarding.
We went down that rabbit hole and are still inside that one. One day (sigh) , Lord willing, we will be able to travel together and go places that has sun in winter. Until then we’re looking at red light therapy. 😂🫡
My wife was homeschooled and we will be homeschooling our many future children God willing!
You married up my friend. And for that I salute you 🫡
Unschooling>*
Homeschooling is unschooling. Yes!
I’ll never forget living in the holler and seeing the yellow school bus going up our dead end road to the house at the end whose kids attended government school.
We’d tell our young kids: “There goes the prison bus.” Then I would see them up close and think (Lord forgive me) GFY. I swear it’s true 😂
Yes!!!!!!!
LFG! ❤️🧡💜
💯
