I have had the unique experience of having a brother and sister born when I was 16 & 18. My other sister & I cared for them a TON.

They are now 14 & almost 17.

They're the reason I am super judgmental of people's excuses for lazy parenting.

1/

People ask me "how will I explain to my child that we're not doing pagan holidays."

Ummmm who is running the family? The adults or the preschoolers?

I stopped celebrating before my parents did, but my parents explained to the younger why & that was that.

2/

People have mentioned dreading telling their very young kids that they can't watch shows that glorify the occult.

Who is running the show?

The youngest was at my house for a month last month. A cartoon episde had pentagrams & ouija board. It was turned off immediately.

3/

Since the youngest were little, all of us adults have discussed persecution and standing up for their faith, even if someone threatens to kill us or them. If someone says deny Jesus or we'll torture your family, we can't deny Jesus.

Your kids aren't stupid & need to know.

4/

You can't wait until your kids are teens to have hard conversations, especially about living out your faith. The earlier the better. It's not as scary when they feel prepared.

5/

Apparently bad kids no longer exist. All kids who would have been classified as brats 30 years ago, now simply have a parent-diagnosed condition / tired / hungry.

When persecution comes, brats who don't obey parents are going to be the first ones to rat out their family.

6/

When the Antichrist Beast System is set up & you can't buy or sell without the mark, you can't buy off your out of control kids with candy or toys. Little Braxtonleighkenzie & Spairoe-Nevaeh won't have access to YouTube to preoccupy them.

Get those tantrums under control now

7/

I'm saying this because it doesn't matter how prepared you are for the Antichrist if you're going to sell out because you can't tell your kids "no" and they threaten to tell the authorities if you don't bend to their will.

Get your kids in line today. Be the parent.
