"They" had to get the parents out of the way of raising children in order to indoctrinate the next generation. They made life difficult for a one-salary income. Women's homemaking skills were trivialized and discredited: women needed to "have a meaningful job" and a career away from home. Schools kept lowering the entry age, making it easier for moms to work in a "lucrative manner" - now having to pay taxes. Sexuality, a "gift from God," has also been turned from an intimate, loving encounter to brutality and perversion. Let's work on a counter-current. I believe we will win!
Danielle- this is Jill (I actually don't have a Substack account). I completely agree with your statement above, and is something Robert and I have talked about writing about in more detail.
Hello Jill... I admired you and Robert as a couple, homesteading. It's the way life should be. I have memorable moments with my mother, shelling peas to freeze, among other things. Although I was in an abusive marriage, I was able to stay home with my children on a small homestead. We had ducks for eggs (I love their personalities), geese, bunnies, and large gardens. My kids (6 girls and 1 boy) were born at home and homeschooled. They learned to cook, garden, and forage in the forest. They are grown and gone, independent, healthy and doing well. I loved being a homemaker.
Big hugs and a lot of respect to you, Danielle, you are an inspiration, just like Jill and Robert are. I recognise a lot in what both of you are writing, but then from the role as a child.
