I am talking to my boys about finding women of God (WOGs) who will keep their homes and raise up their children. As time goes on, WOGs are becoming a rare commodity… most young women are taught to pursue their own careers and goals without suffering the impairment of husbands and children. Very sad! I have three teenage daughters and they have all said they do not want to be mothers but for different reasons. I am standing by if they ever want to talk about the blessed path set aside for women by God Himself. They just need themselves some good MOGs 😃
One professional woman who was my co-worker remarked to me a long time ago that the women's Lib movement was the worst thing that ever happened to women.
It was intentional. Promoted by the Rothschild's Tavistock Institute. .1. To divide the family unit. 2. Get little children in institutional day care sooner and 3. To get more tax money from working women.
My Daughter in law has a very high paying VP position and appears to have no interest in having children. I don’t ask as she’s not my daughter. But I’m actually glad because because she took two Moderna shots. And influenced my son too. He took 1 J&J. So far so good? But I’m too old to raise grandkids if they’re going to die early.
My husband's 2 60 yr old sisters are childless and a bit of a hot mess. I nudged my daughter and said "Look at your future. Doesn't look good does it?" She saw it clearly.
I think my girls will change their minds too … one has a very serious boyfriend and she is suddenly silent in the subject 😂 … my oldest is fiercely “girl power” but she sees her sister so happy with her very solid boyfriend and the poor thing wants that too. My third girl is the toughest case, surrounded by gender consisting at her school and has possibly considered such things herself but we talk about this extensively. She knows I will always love her but that there are certain things I do NOT want for my children. I pray for all my children, they are in Gods good hands.
Amen! I keep mascara in my handbag and whip it out in the car for a quick wanding but only under duress. My daughters though … they spend hundreds on makeup each year and hours in front of the mirror … I went through that too as a young person but escaped! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Belle, I borrowed some of my sister's mascara for a short while in 8th grade, but I kept rubbing my eyes when they itched (maybe it was the mascara?). Anyway, I decided I'd much rather rub an itch than not, and that was the end of my experience with makeup.
So true. One time my husband quipped that I was his trophy wife. I told him that would require a lot more money because I rarely use make up or worry about fancy clothes. Still holding space as the embodiment of divine feminine energy even without the superficial bells and whistles.
This is great. I’m a tomboy who loves being female and dressing up on occasion… but don’t get crazy, and I raised my one girl the same (I also have 2 boys). She’s pregnant with our first grandbaby now and when it was time to find out the gender she was super freaked out, like ‘mom, what am I going to do if it’s a girl?’ I told her she would probably raise a tomboy like I did. It’s a boy.
Also, she met her husband playing intramurals in college… played on ELEVEN teams per year and won the table tennis championship once. She’s the best. This was Oklahoma state, btw.
For the tomboys: reading about your childhood antics makes me think you grew up as lean machines, no threat of diabetes or other obesity related conditions. Standing “O” for your parents and sibs who nutured that active life.
I’m kind of in the middle, I love clothes and makeup but never get my nails done or buy lots of shoes and purses. I do buy lots of running shoes though 😆 I am not scared of snakes or spiders and not afraid to unclog a toilet either. So hopefully that’s a good balance lol 😆
I think I’m the only woman on my block that actually gets down on her knees and digs around in the dirt doing landscaping. Everyone else seems to go to Zumba classes, or water aerobics (or whatever they call it today). They walk by and marvel at the fact that we do it ourselves. In fact, their dog walks have become more frequent so they can see the progress! Hubs and I have saved thousands of dollars in landscaping labor by DOING IT OURSELVES. It isn’t easy, your nails get ruined, you sweat profusely, your hair … well.
That’s awesome! I can’t say I enjoy gardening much though I like the results 😁 I always hated my frequent childhood chore of pulling weeds so maybe that’s part of it. I get my outdoor time by running roads or trails. I always admire people who are handy and good at gardening or diy projects. I am not naturally good at any of that and don’t have the patience to learn right now. I do like growing herbs but they’re pretty easy.
You sound great! I am raising up my five yo fear no critter. We look at them, we give them drops of water then put them outside unless it is too cold. I revive house centipedes that try to drown in the bath … I am a VERY rare woman. Look up a photo of house centipede 😱. But they are very cool creatures, a crowded circle of legs and two sets of antenatae one pair back one pair front so that you have no idea what the “head” is … they are apex predators of the buggy world and live long solitary lives. I let them go outside but if it’s winter o put them in the basement
I love that! My two boys are more skittish about critters than I am 🙄 I guess I didn’t raise them right lol 🤪 I am not a huge fan of insects but will try to take daddy long legs or stink bugs or maybe the odd centipede or millipede outside rather than kill them. I am a little paranoid about brown recluses since I didn’t grow up in an area where they are common and so if I’m not sure of what a spider is and it is in my living space, I kill it. I am fine with anything outside but don’t really like them in my living space 😛
I totally get that! Balance is key. My overall essence and vibe is ultra feminine but that does not mean I waste money on material abundance and I will also get my hands dirty. I do love a new fresh cushy running shoe. Brooks are my favorite! What’s yours?! How much do you run?
My favorite shoes are currently Topo Cyclones. I used to be a die hard for the Altra Escalantes before they changed them 😕 It’s hard for me to find good shoes because I don’t have wide feet but my toes like to splay, probably due to running around barefoot as a kid so much. So I can’t wear wide sizes but need a wider toe box. It took a while for me to realize this when I kept having issues with so many brands of running shoes.
I run a lot 🤪😆 At least compared to most people I know who are “normal” runners (not elite or semi elite). 40-60 miles per week usually.
Another runner (not as many miles per week) with a need for wide toe box runners - I also enjoyed a few seasons of Altra’s but now have custom orthotics with Hoka’s. I’ll have to check out the Topo Cyclones.
Topo has several models all with wide toe boxes, I would like to also try the Phantoms for my easy run days. I have also tried the Specter and the Magnifly 4 but like the Cyclone a lot better personally. It’s hard because few shoe stores carry Topos 😕 So you can’t really try them on very easily. Topo has a good return policy though from what I’ve seen. I think Fleet Feet has them online but not sure if you can get them in store. REI has a few models but not all.
Thanks Running, I just checked and my local running shoe store carries some Topos so I will be able to check out size and fit! They look similar to Altra’s.
Absolutely! I didn't mean to sound like I was knocking higher maintenance women. If my wife, God forbid, should ever get ill and require non stop maintenance I would be there for every second of it. I was more just kidding around. Different strokes for different folks, and I'm glad you found your perfect match. 😁
I married a tomboy 39 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Guys, marry them if you get the chance. They're low maintenance. 🤣🤣🤣
I told my son to avoid libbies and normies. They will emasculate you and any sons you may have and screw up your entire family.

I knew so many unhappy professional women who only realized too late what was really important in life. I pray your daughters do before it's too late.
One professional woman who was my co-worker remarked to me a long time ago that the women's Lib movement was the worst thing that ever happened to women.
Yes, and I believe it was intentional.....population reduction.
Notice how movies post-1950's show families with only one child?
It was intentional. Promoted by the Rothschild's Tavistock Institute. .1. To divide the family unit. 2. Get little children in institutional day care sooner and 3. To get more tax money from working women.

Such a happy outcome for your sister, hooray!!!
Great advice!
Oh yes, we definitely are! My man doesn’t have to move makeup out of the way in the bathroom, that’s for sure 😂
Amen! I keep mascara in my handbag and whip it out in the car for a quick wanding but only under duress. My daughters though … they spend hundreds on makeup each year and hours in front of the mirror … I went through that too as a young person but escaped! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Never thought of it that way--but husband doesn't have to pay for nail salon or beauty salon or expensive purses.
I like the handbags but can’t be bothered with nails or hair … my husband knows he is blessed
I remind my husband sometimes that he could have married a boring woman. I laugh at my joke, he usually just gives me an eye roll. 😂
So true. One time my husband quipped that I was his trophy wife. I told him that would require a lot more money because I rarely use make up or worry about fancy clothes. Still holding space as the embodiment of divine feminine energy even without the superficial bells and whistles.
😂👌👍

Congrats! She sounds like quite the woman. 😁
I’ve heard other men say former tomboys become some of the best wives
For the tomboys: reading about your childhood antics makes me think you grew up as lean machines, no threat of diabetes or other obesity related conditions. Standing “O” for your parents and sibs who nutured that active life.
I am one and my husband concurs!
Yes we are!

I like how you unashamedly embrace who you are, and your husband does too!
