You should really read the article.

It agrees with you in general (and so do I), but the concrete advices are a bit more appropriate for when, inevitably, the kids disobey.

I know you were exaggerating, but humiliating them or resorting to denunciation might just hurt them in the long run.

Exactly. For the past month I've read many people here saying protest are useless because of various bullshit reasons. Protest are just a starting point. At protest, people talk, organize, that can lead to more massive protest, a new ideology, a revolution, or nothing. You never know.

I'm French. I have been to many protests. Some ended in massive movement for no reasons. Some died while the cause was very important. You never know.

I started my company before my daughter was born, but because of covid and Ukraine (I'm in Europe) it went bad and it's only been OK for a year and a half now.

When our daughter was born, my wife forced me to cut 1h of work per day. She told me I could work more after our daughter was in bed if needed, to check the mails for instance. She does that a lot herself as a teacher, but I almost never find strength to work the evening because I'm too tired. So I cut one hour and... Nothing got worse.

I thought It was going to be bad but it wasn't.

The thing is : the first year was awfull because I didn't make enough money, so I used what I had saved. Because of that I became a lot tougher when I have to negotiate a contract, because I do feel that people asking for a low price are disrespecting me and putting my family in danger, which they are.

I still don't make as much as I would If I worked for somebody, but I make enough, I work less, and there are many other perks.

TLDR : my wife was right. Yours might also be.

Also : I'm not my own man, I had associates all along. I don't know if I could have done it alone.

Good luck to find your way

Went to a corrida in southern France. Apparently it went particularly bad. It was horrific to watch (for the bull).

People win elections all the time. People celebrate elections all the time. The last time somebody taking power did a gesture that looked like this was probably in Germany, 1933. This is no coincidence.

I've grown used to it. I had it since I was a child, and it became a lot worse after an accident in my 20s. I've seen medic but they couldn't really help. I think it became quieter since then, but I can still hear it well. I'm in my 40s now and I couldn't care less.

I hope it will be the same for you.

Your comment is compatible with my ideology. It is therefore true.
