Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be "Julia" - HUMAN EVENTS
I haven't seen BOs ad/article/story but here's how mine would go:
Jamie is prepared for academics by her own mommy in a loving, safe environment.
She "goes to school" at home with the same mommy who has been teaching her since birth. She is allowed to explore her own areas of interest as well as proceed in her studies of the "core" academics at her own pace. The one on one attention she gets allows that pace to be much faster than "norm."
She gets her college degree at 18 by using online college tutoring programs (i.e. collegeplus.com). She then chooses to work at a local business as an apprentice.
She meets a nice young man at her church who has the same basic goals in life a she has. They decide to explore the possibility of God wanting them to work together towards those goals.
They grow to love each other and marry.
Soon, a little blessing is on the way. They choose to have Baby born in the same bed he was conceived in. They pay for the midwife with their own cash.
For several years, Jamie spends most of her time caring for the increasing number of little ones. In her spare time she teaches herself how to sew using YouTube videos.
Jamie and her hubby choose an online school for their children. They feel this best meets their needs at this time.
Jamie spends her free time sewing beautiful dresses for her neighbors daughters. She makes a nice supplement to the family income and is totally free to care for her family first.
When the children leave home, Jamie and hubby are free to spend time with grand-kids, work in their church, and because of Jamie's modest income, get Hubby going in his own lawn business.
Both Jamie and her hubby work as long as they are physically able to because they enjoy what they do.
When retirement comes, they live off the money they have put aside for this time. Their children make sure they are taken care of also.
Their medical bills are covered by their savings and their children, but it isn't a big deal because the free market keeps the prices low.
They are buried together in the plots they bought themselves years ago.
This is what things were really like before socialism. Honest.

When was this supposed utopia? I'm honestly curious because life hasn't been this way for at least 130 years.
ReplyDeleteThere are numerous spelling errors in your post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads-up on the spelling. I typed it in a hurry and sometimes my brain works faster than my fingers.
ReplyDeleteLet's see, 130 years ago would put us in the 1880s, After socialistic schools were introduced but before they completely took over the country. So, yeah, that's about right.
Actually, I guess saying Jamie used the tutoring company for college wouldn't be accurate as that is a fairly new invention. So, ok, I was wrong on that.
However there are many homeschooled families that are achieving this is varying degrees today. So maybe it was more future history than past history. (ok, that doesn't make a lot of sense either, lol) We should be aiming for independence from the government, not dependence on it.
(And this time I ran the spell check, :-))
