Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]
Fathers are to lay down the laws and enforce them. Women are too weak for the job and too agreeable.
We never took part in our kids' lives as helicopter parents and they exceeded our wildest expectations in every category. Their kids are as good and nobody ever asks them if they did their homework.
If you only made sure they were healthy and safe, you did 90% of the job. The rest is by being a good example.
When my younger daughter told me that she was planning to go to Africa to teach, my response was swift and simple: You are over 18 so you can do what you want. If you get kidnapped, I will not pay the ransom. If you get murdered, I will not go there to retrieve your body. Is that clear? Yes, Dad.
Case closed in less than a minute... I didn't moan, whine, beg, or even argue...No, she didn't go to Africa. Ever.
