Merry Christmas
there are a few steps in the teens there that didn't apply to me, but especially the last steps there, this is me exactly. ❤️🤝
17 year old son, and 79 year old father.
Can confirm
Same but Mom for girls.
Merry Christmas dude
Everyone has different upbringings
True!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
I’ll zap the shit out of this later when the network will route it for me.
😭
I miss my dad. He would have been an hardcore bitcoiner for sure.😏
True story.
I have a range of kids from 6 to 22 and this is pretty accurate. The older ones, I’m pretty sure would be perfectly fine if I never talked to them again, at least until they get older and realize that I’m not full of shit all of the time and that there’s something to be said for experience. They’re not shy about telling my wife or me when we say something they don’t agree with about how we’re wrong. When those times happen, my wife and I look at each other and we know what the other is thinking.
The 6 and 9 year-olds still think we’re awesome so we’ve got that going for us.. for now. :-)
I'm 51. Rings true to me. 🙏
Nice to think about from the perspective as a son and a father 🤔
Everyone likes different posts
LFG
It's great that you seem very fond of your dad. He deserves it no doubt if you feel like that.
Merry Christmas, Ben
Well said!!!
Sometimes dads don’t make it to all of these milestones and 50 hits a lot sooner than 50… expedite the process as best you can and maximize time with dad. ❤️
Love to the ones that got forced to 50 early.
🧡
Si true 🥹
This is awesome. Fact. Great reminder. Thx. Merry xmas friend 🧡🫂💜
For girls
Age 0-? - Dad is my hero (whether he acts like one or not)
I really appreciate this post Ben. I've had my dad stay with us for the Christmas holiday after us not talking for 5 years. It's been incredibly humbling and this post put it into perspective nicely for me 🫡
This is my life experience. My dad isn’t perfect, but he got the big stuff right. He would give Christ all of the glory.
Oof, not in my case, 39 and still losing respect for my dad's intelligence lol
Ermmm
Everybody likes a gm
I went a few years not doing Christmas with my family over a feud. Finally had to forgive and free myself. Glad you're talking again. Life is truly too short.
dad knew everything
...
except how to love and be loved
Truth
This is bittersweet for me to read.
My father died when I was 3, during Operation Linebacker II, while serving as a Captain in the USAF piloting a B-52 Stratofortress.
My kid is just 19. He's further along than his age, but these last few years have compacted it.
Count yourself lucky if you lived this progression in full from either end. I won't.

45 = 35 in my journey
so true
Not wrong, but shit - feel compelled to say it... but this sounds like the pattern of many young men with Daddy issues? It plagues many, but not all. I was lucky - my Dad was an older father. I do wonder if this is the pattern?
Rule of 3 says, 1/3 say oh yes... next 1/3 says what you talking about? and the last 1/3 says I wish I had a father.
Congrats on stealing a tweet from X that’s been posted over 10 times there and pretending like it’s your idea.
I am beginning to appreciate the bitterness because now I am able to taste something sweet. This achieved is through an unsatiable hunger and a flame that burns eternally. Low and slow. For a long time I thought I had a lot to learn from my father here in the world that I somehow lost out on when the cancer treatment made his life unlivable.
As I continue to solve problems with authority I have no right to have or confidence in solutions and systems or flavors that are clearly correct and solid but missing from regular life, I realize that I have been learning and living and walking with my father in heaven for years. Calling us to simply do what comes naturally. When I have no more words that work I end up landing on my knees and looking for the big guns (words from the book) that is how I intend to save my bacon. ❤️
7-24 school fucking with your brain
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
― Mark Twain
This is insanely accurate.

💯 Modernity tears down fathers, especially the schools.
At the assembly on the first day of my son's kindergarten, the principal, a 50yrld divorced woman with pink hair, wearing an acid washed mini skirt, stood on stage, threw her fist in the air and shouted:
"We're gonna smash the he-erarchy!"
Wives and children are turned against the father for the "freedom" offed by the state. The modern state destroys fatherhood to destroy the family and take its power because that's the key to enslaving everyone .
Yes, the damage done to our kids and society by public schools, the woke feminists and weak distant fathers is immeasurable. It will take generations to fix.
Yes.
Unbelievable. Homeschool is a must.
Seems to me you know what to do next.
And everyone on the bus clapped.
You’re right. It was much better when men could legally rape their wives. 🤣 Then we demanded our basic human rights.
spoken like a man who was homeschooled. Went to prom with his mother … and got lucky. 🍀
100%
Take kids out of public schools and maybe bring back initiating boys into manhood through some sort of quest. School removes them from the world and its responsibilities.
Everything about the modern institutions are set up to shunt responsibility away from the individual (bureaucracy, democracy, etc.). Responsibility is a necessary factor in shaping the boy into a man. This is why modernity has failed us and why we have so many effeminate man-boys.
To resolve this I believe that we must pave a new way forward while also looking back to pre-modern tradition. This is why I'm now a serious inquirer into Orthodoxy.
Think you’ve gotta pull your kids out of that school.
Another thing that never happened
Lol who cares about that xitter trashcan
I hope you could already find a new kindergarten for your son
Thanks. If it was up to me, he'd be homeschooled. I would never willingly hand over my child to the system
Thanks, of course I would if I could. But I'm just his father. I don't have any say.
Build our way to freedom so we can take our families back from the bankers' tyranny. ✅
I'm honored by how much effort you went to just for this post
Hahahahaha
Absolutely. If you actually get to make that decision. If the woman sides with the state, you don't have a choice. Men don't really get to make this call under our system. Final decision is on the mother. Because, ya know, "smash the HE-erarchy"
And that's sad reality of the situation.
Here in Spain you have public kindergartens, but also private ones Among the private ones there are plenty of different options where one could pick from
Unfortunately they are always overbooked, at least in my experience
If you’re split up. But if you’re together then it’s on the table.
Starting a family with the wrong person scares the shit out of me. Have rarely seen it work out.
(Homeschool)
Sadly, not untrue.
When I read this, I remembered my father. But I am so happy and glad he is still with me, and I can still get advice from him. I am still so lucky. ♥️
I have something to request from this community. Always listen to your father and go through his advice. You can win your life. The most important thing is respect him and take care of him. ♥️
Well said
@Ben Justman🍷!

This doesn't surprise me. Ever hear of the "Disaffected" podcast, with Josh Slocum? He does an amazing job of helping everyday people understand the negative side of the feminine. I highly recommend it if you haven't listened and/or watched.
