I think you're being insensitive because you're finding an issue after the very first occurrence, or at least that's how I read your original post. If this was a thing that has been happening for six months straight and you were looking for a way to help her feel comfortable in her own bed I would feel different about your story. As it is now it sounds like you're trying to justify putting your want over her need.

Why do you think letting your daughter sleep with you is a bad thing? There are lots of people out there with family beds, and co sleeping increases the bond between parents and child. Your daughter should feel confident she can come to you guys any time something is wrong and you will help her. Sending her back to sleep alone just seems incredibly insensitive and uncaring.

My oldest son is actually my step son, though I only make the distinction here because it's important to the story. Recently during a visit with his bio dad he did some such thing that made his bio dad angry and resulted in him threatening to spank my son. At which point my son responded by telling "no you are not allowed to do that to me" and was assertive enough to back his bio dad down from the threat. There is a myriad of other stories I could tell that are examples of the success of peaceful parenting but none quite compare. Thinking of a seven year old standing up to a 30 year old man with such conviction is powerful.

Isn't it a good thing if statists are finding more reasons to have less children? As long as the peaceful parenting movement continues to grow and the statists continue to produce less people, and less successful people, freedom will win purely based on numbers.

This seems like it could get complicated. Should charities accept donations from public sector workers? The donation is voluntary but those public employees got their money through the same theft. So the same rules apply here I would think. In my mind charities taking money from the government is really a non issue. Not taking the money isn't going to decrease the amount of theft that occurs. It will just mean the stolen money will go somewhere else. At least a charity may take those dollars and hopefully do at least a little good with it.

No news? No answer from Stef or MMD?

I wonder why

Question is in the title. The feed hadn't been updated with a Sunday show. So was wondering if one happened or not.

I'm excited to hear what you think of it

This is because her first book was pretty popular but the readers largely missed the message she was trying to get across using the more subtle means common to most media. She then decided in her following books she was just going to cram her philosophy down the reader's throat!

Well in that case, this will never ever happen. It will be hard enough to get a favorable bill through congress and the president. Then you think we can get an amendment through two thirds of the state houses? It's just never going to happen. The system we have in the US is simply going to get worse and worse until it can no longer sustain itself. Then hopefully we can peacefully transition to something more favorable.

The problem with the fair tax is that without a constitutional amendment we won't be able to prevent the congress from passing a new income tax. So eventually we will just wind up with both a giant national sales tax and an income tax.

You didn't make the series shorter? I found the shows to be excruciatingly boring with very little pay off relative to the time invested.

Tony deserves a bump for hard work

Yeah I've seen the show and it really is a grand display of a societal lack of empathy.

It seems to me like the bribery being engaged in and studied is still coercion. You are bribing your child to do something you intend to make them do, just choosing a non authoritarian way to achieve your goal. However kids are smart and they know when they are being forced to do something, no matter how hard you try to mask it. So it's not surprising this type of soft coercion achieves similarly negative results.

Principles and morals are irrelevant when coercion is involved. So moral "dilemmas" like this are just mental masturbation because they do nothing to help people navigate their lives and make sound decisions on a day to day basis.

Oh you just wait until you get to the monologue in part three. The only thing comparable in repetitiveness is Stefan's Introduction to Philosophy podcasts.

It appears to me you are describing a person I would describe as a cunt.

I would say it's The Bomb in the Brain. The facts exposed in the BIB shows make it clear to me that everything else is largely irrelevant without first addressing the way children are raised.

This statement is only true so long as you only treat your addictions and do not deal with the issues that make you an addict. Really this attitude is incredibly dangerous because it leads to people who either fail to recover from addictions or simply replace one addiction with another.

Cunt is one of my most favorite of words. Though that's irrelevant Anyway, you would think Stefan wouldn't give words an irrational power over him. Did he really say that, and if so when?

This article is a joke. It's obviously a failed parent writing nonsense to justify their own failures and the failures of religious parents everywhere, but I'll assume they are particularly interested in excusing the failures of Mormon parents. With the sheer amount of female pornstsrs that come out of Mormon households this type of excusatory nonsense is desperately needed to make those parents feel better.

I took my son to see this yesterday and it was great. I was so surprised by many of the themes and the ending really was pretty touching. The best part though was definitely when the Unikitty was talking about how great their sky cloud place was and the first thing she says is "we have no government!". A close second was how negatively portrayed the police were and how closely they aesthetically resemble the actual police force in America.

You could check out Path of Exile. It's free to play and a very good dungeon crawler like Diablo. Also Minecraft! It's very very easy to setup a little server for you guys to both use and pkay the game together. Or you can find a dedicated server to join to play together with others. If you like MOBAs both Dota 2 and League of Legends are free to play. Then of course there is the ridiculously long list of F2P MMOs. Though you're best bet is to Google for reviews and such to find the one you want in the style you would prefer. Really the options are so limitless your question is unanswerable. Do you guys like RTS? Get any of the Total War games and play a co op campaign together. Or do any of the other 1.5 billion things you could do because almost every single game released has a multiplayer component.
