Books to understand males

Just don't talk to him and if he complains about a lack of love or lashes out against others then blame him for not properly suppressing his feelings.

[Anonymous No.22016910]

Just read books to him and near him all the time. You don't need to worry about his morals because plenty of great writers are total degenerate scum; you need to worry about his prose.

You should refer to them as them, first of all, until they decide if they're something else like male or female.

Raise your boy with honesty, engage them in conversation, and demonstrate your own fallibility as a person once they're old enough to handle it. Otherwise, people have been stumbling through childrearing for millennia, just try your best. Don't put money or drugs ahead of them in your priorities, and you're 80% of the way there. Make them try new things, get good at failure, etc. Mostly common sense.

I haven't read any books about parenting, but have accumulated some knowledge - mostly by reflecting on the way I was raised, identifying the errors and mistakes and researching ways to avoid them. I will try to give you the most important parts of it, but I'm a scatterbrain so bear with me.
First is unconditional love. This is the single most important factor in parenting. Do not EVER make your son feel as if he has to work for your love or figure out what strings to pull to get it. Love him unconditionally or you will end up raising a bitter, cynical and hateful man.
Secondly, accept the fact that he will suffer. Indeed, he MUST suffer, as we all do. Try as you might, you cannot protect him from it. You will have the overwhelming desire to shield him from all harm. Do this, and you will end up raising a man that never learned to fight his own battles and come out on top. You should obviously prevent him from committing insanely stupid acts like jamming a fork into the electric outlet, but if you are hovering over him ever-watchful to intervene as he gets older, it will make him reliant on others for most of his life, perhaps even all of it. It is one of the greatest disservices you could do him.
Nurture his will and teach him virtue. It is absolutely imperative that you lead by example, as children learn through imitating their parents and peers. If you tell him "do not steal" and proceed to steal a lot, your son will end up stealing a lot. Words are meaningless if they aren't backed by action - this holds true for life in general, but is especially important when raising a child. If you want to instill into him certain virtues and values, you must lead by example.
Natural consequences are the best teacher. Your son fucked something up? Don't punish him for it with physical force or mental abuse. Let him experience the consequences of messing up and guide him through the fallout. For example: your son decided it's time for art, took his crayons and unleashed his muse onto the living room wall. Sit him down, explain to him in a child-appropriate way why you do not approve of what he did. Make him help you remove the crayon masterpiece, and show him your appreciation for having taken part in fixing his mistake. Teach him that the next time he gets creative urges, he should follow through on a sheet of paper rather than the wall.

[Anonymous No.22017743]

>>22017741
Lastly, teach him to be in touch with his emotions. For men specifically this is incredibly important. Don't be fooled by all the supposed hard-asses out there that act like men need to shut down their emotions to succeed, it is a load of hogwash and extremely counter-productive. A man that denies his emotions will forever be their slave. Ideally, a man should stay in control of his actions. For that to happen, he needs to master his emotions. To master his emotions, he needs to know them. If he destroys something in rage, ask him what he feels. Tell him that's a feeling called anger. Tell him that it is okay to be angry, then ask him why he is angry. Teach him ways to process anger that are productive, rather than destructive. If he cries, ask him why he cries. When he explains, in his incomplete, childish understanding of himself, tell him that he's feeling an emotion called sadness. Tell him that it is okay to be sad, and that everybody is sad sometimes, and that it will pass. Do the same for happiness, joy, and the positive range of emotions too. A man who knows himself and the inner workings of his heart and soul will have far better control over his actions than a man who was taught that boys don't cry, that he should just stop being dumb, that he needs to swallow his emotions and push through rather than understand where they come from and how to work with them rather than against them.
Ultimately, as a parent, you don't have control, but you have influence. Many parents seem to think themselves sculptors, and their progeny marble. This is patently false. You are a shepherd, and your progeny is your herd. Let go of pre-conceived notions of what your son will be or should be. He is the marble AND the sculptor. Give him the tools and teach him the trade. Support him developing in whatever direction he chooses to.

Have fun accepting the fact that all moids would rape a woman if they could get away with it.

Physically raping a woman isn't an attractive prospect to me but I have thought about how insistent I would be if we were trapped on a desert island and it was clear no rescue was coming in the near future. I'd be respectful but tell her frankly, come on lady, I'm doing most of the heavy lifting here, let me have something to look forward to when I come back to the lean-to. Doesn't have to be full sex, just let me jerk off to your ass or something. However, I wouldn't rape her even if she stonewalled me. I'd just be like wow you're a bitch, I collect five times as many coconuts as your lazy ass.

Breastfeed for at least 18 months.
Never ever disrespect his father in front of him.
Never lie to him.
Don't send him to inner city public school. Teach him languages and advanced math and science from a young age.
Don't allow unrestricted internet access or social media or a smartphone.
Make sure he plays a sport.
Get his dad, hopefully your husband, to buy him a whore when he turns 15, or whatever the right age is in your country. Especially do this if he has a crush on a girl his age.

Congratulations, you just raised a gigachad.

Men want power above all. There are many forms of power, so all that matters is which power he's chasing, how, and how intelligently. But it's all power. To matter, or to be rich, or to be influential, or to be physically strong, or to have desirable women. It's all power. Even love in the eyes of a man is about power.

Congrats on your son.

I had a son about 18 months ago now, wasn't planned. We love him so much its unreal.

Little boys need lots of love from their Mums. Make sure he's kind to animals and stands up for himself against other boys from an early age.

The difficult bit will creep up around age 8 or 9. Boys start to become steadipy more aggresive towards eachother and I think its difficult for women to understand that. If you have a male role model then let him lead there. If not, shower him with love and encourage himself to assert himself always. Its easier to reign it in at a later date then develop it.


I hope you have a cosy pregnancy, easy birth and enjoy motherhood.
