….the French understand love, children and discipline
Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting
…..became a big bestseller in the USA! (It has been promoted twice now on even Fox News Channel, infamous for its French-bashing in 2003-04!)
It agrees with all that I saw myself in France in 2004-05. And the French have the highest white birthrate in Europe!
I CAN TESTIFY THAT ONE BIG REASON WHY AMERICAN WHITES DO NOT HAVE KIDS IS THERI FIRST TWO KIDS ARE OUT-OF-CONTROL BRATS.
I have asked white men why they do not have more kids — and they answer: “Hell, I cannot even control the one we have now, and his mother always sides with him!” (That is what a neighbor in Sarver, Pennsylvania, a macho blue-collar deer hunter named John who dresses (carves up) the deer carcass and eats the venison, once admitted to me.)
Well, as this blog shows, athe French really, really do understand how to raise nice kids who are NOT a hellacious burden — and I saw this with my own eyes in France in 2004-05.
No financial incentives can make any couple bring a child into this world (such as it is nowadays) if they fear the kid will become a brat who will make their lives miserable.
So that is an important part of my blog today, THE PROBLEMS OF WHITE PEOPLE, and if it does not contain enough Jew-bashing or negrophobia, well, I have let my readers down again. 😉
At Étretat in spring 2004 –in my ancestral Normandy, France, across from England’s
White Cliffs of Dover….
Overview
The secret behind France’s astonishingly well-behaved children.
When American journalist Pamela Druckerman has a baby in Paris, she doesn’t aspire to become a “French parent.” French parenting isn’t a known thing, like French fashion or French cheese. Even French parents themselves insist they aren’t doing anything special.
Yet, the French children Druckerman knows sleep through the night at two or three months old while those of her American friends take a year or more.
French kids eat well-rounded meals that are more likely to include braised leeks than chicken nuggets. And while her American friends spend their visits resolving spats between their kids, her French friends sip coffee while the kids play.
Motherhood itself is a whole different experience in France. There’s no role model, as there is in America, for the harried new mom with no life of her own. French mothers assume that even good parents aren’t at the constant service of their children and that there’s no need to feel guilty about this. They have an easy, calm authority with their kids that Druckerman can only envy.
Of course, French parenting wouldn’t be worth talking about if it produced robotic, joyless children. In fact, French kids are just as boisterous, curious, and creative as Americans. They’re just far better behaved and more in command of themselves. While some American toddlers are getting Mandarin tutors and preliteracy training, French kids are — by design –toddling around and discovering the world at their own pace.
With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman — a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal –-sets out to learn the secrets to raising a society of good little sleepers, gourmet eaters, and reasonably relaxed parents. She discovers that French parents are extremely strict about some things and strikingly permissive about others. And she realizes that to be a different kind of parent, you don’t just need a different parenting philosophy. You need a very different view of what a child actually is.
While finding her own firm “non,” Druckerman discovers that children — including her own — are capable of feats she’d never imagined.
French married women who have born children are also strict with themselves about their figures. There is no right conceded to balloon out weightwise after each child. No, a French mother must return to her pre-pregnancy weight! Or her own girlfriends will peck her to death: “Do you want your husband to have an affair? You must lose that extra weight!”
French singer Patricia Kass, one of my favorites, has a song, “Regarde les Riches,” (“Look at the Rich”) where she blasts a gf for getting fat:
Arrête de rêver qu’tu déprimes [Stop dreaming you are ‘depressed’]
C’est vrai qu’tu débordes de ton jean [What you are is splitting your jeans!] 😉
I believe each sub-race of the white race (germanic, slavic, keltic, and mediterranean) has its own virtues.
The true racial French people are a mix of keltic and mediterranean, and have a natural softness and gentleness about them. The French language even sounds that way, and reflects the people…often gentle, romantic and emotional.
Trailer for a recent movie about a French nun who in 1963 became a singing sensation with the song “Dominique.” (You can see here that French men often have deep, sexy voices, and the women very sweet, feminine, high voices.)
By the same token, the German and even the English language reflect the much harsher, demanding nature of Germanic people.
Think also of the softness of the Irish brogue…. Even in speaking english, a germanic tongue, they retain a soft keltic tone.
When I compare Latin (which I studied for four years) with Italian, its descendant, one can see a rough masculine language gradually becoming ever softer and ever squishier 😉 ….to the point that some Anglo-Saxons and Germans cannot bear to hear the sound of Italian, or even French for that matter. Wit no harsh sounds in its repertory, it sounds almost ….”gay”…. to them!
When the northern Italians began adopting the Germanic name Ludwig (Ludvik), they began transforming it into….what else… LUIGI! 😉
This reflects the Italian race itself changing over he last two thousand years….becoming less blond, less Aryan (Augustus and many other early Roman emperors were blond with blue or gray eyes), and more Mediterranean……
Augustus — no different from a German in looks, harshness, constant planning and warrior behavior. He did not look like a modern “Italian” at all with his sandy-blond hair, chiseled cheekbones, and gray eyes!
German, in fact, became harsher and harsher as the centuries rolled on. In the so-called Second Sound Shift, “die zweite Lautverschiebung,” the original sound “p” turned into “pf,” “k” became “kh” (that guttural throat-clearing sound ;-)) and “t” became “ts”. So “pepper” became “Pfeffer,” “Reik” [kingdom/empire] became “Reich,” and “wheat” became “Weizen” (“Vaitsen”)….a clear progression from gentle to harsh sounds.
When I listen to Gaelic (Old Irish) and I did once overhear two cute Irish women speaking it at an airport, it sounds like a very soft form of German sometimes….
And all this reflects the fact that Kelts are a soft-cheeked, fleshy-faced people with almost no visible cheekbones, a sub-race of the white race composed of (I generalize here shamelessly) gentle dreamers, poets and musicians, whether French or Irish.
Many American Southerners are Scotch-Irish and very keltic….as is country music…Southerners often have much closer, feeling-driven families than Northerners, who are more reserved, and German, Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon in ancestry.
But Germanic people are hard on themselves, their women and their children….a strict race, a people of rulers… a race of Marines…and for them, childhood was a boot camp of yelling and punishments! 😉
Shape up, kid!
Or I won’t love you. You are not meeting my expectations.
I remember my dad berating me at age five, and predicting:
“John, if you do not shape up, you will be a failure for the rest of your life!” (Nice message to hear at age five… It made me obedient,yes, but through feeling dejection. 🙁 )
Instead of:
“John, I love you and I know you are capable of such great things, as you showed the other day, but that behavior you pulled yesterday is not helping you.”
It took my father 25 years to ever say he loved me…..Well, to be fair, that is how just about ALL American WASP fathers were back then.
Frenchies give hugs and kisses every day!
As for Christianity, in many ways it too is soft, and it spread through women to their children, much more than through men.
Why did Roman emperor Constantine the Great end the persecution of the Christians and legalize and fund their faith? His mother Helen was a Christian!
The Pietà by Michelangleo (1499), showing a beautiful young Mary holding her dead son. (Actually, she should appear to be around age 50 at the time her 30-year-old son was crucified) …..The sculpture is found now at the Vatican, but was commissioned by a French cardinal for his mausoleum.
Only two countries accepted Christianity without much resistance, and both of them were heavily keltic: Ireland and Iceland.
The Icelanders are half-keltic, as any visit to Iceland and any look at icelandic faces will reveal — red hair, green eyes and freckles, or dark hair and blue eyes — due to Norwegian Vikings (my people… 😉 ) snatching away winsome Irish girls and taking them as wives to Iceland.In the same way the early Romans, short of potential wives, carried Sabine women off from a huge party the conniving Romans had thrown, inviting their Sabine neighbors to a “feast.” This was the infamous “Rape of the Sabines” ……
.
This was not rape in our sense of a hostile act of violence, but bridal abduction. The Sabine women ultimately accepted what the Romans had done to them…since all men everywhere want or need sex 😉 and offspring …and also because the Sabine women’s fathers, by acquiescing in the forceful abduction, thus avoided having to pay the Romans dowry for their daughters! 😉 )
When I lived in germanic Austria in 1975-76, I felt totally at home in their strict world of work, punctuality, neatness and discipline. When I visited France, I did not feel quite as much at home, though I was enthralled by the charm and humor of la France. (100,000 Americans and Brits live in the south of France, btw.)
The French are good soldiers but actually great parents; the Germans are great soldiers and engineers, but average or, frankly, below-average parents.
With my second wife being Alsatian, and thus being part-German, I was able to see why many Alsatians actually preferred staying with France, though they of course spoke German, when Prussia conquered Alsace in 1870….. Many Alsatians fled their homeland after the German invasion to as far away as French Algeria so as to not live under ther strict and blunt Prussians.
Hitler spoke betimes of how the rigid, punitive Prussia was simply NOT the right power to charm and re-germanize the Alsatians….to win their hearts back over to being German again….
Prince Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian prime minster, annexed Alsace and Lorraine back to Germany in 1870 after 200 years of being under the light yoke of la France, but it was a tense relationshipwith the locals, and it only lasted until 1918. Hitler gave up on Germany retaking Alsace, and he promised Marshal Philippe Pétain, after Germany occupied France again in 1940, that France could retain Alsace, fior all its germanity….that is, until setbacks in the war forced him to change his policy, because he desperately to draft more German-speaking soldiers.
Patricia Kass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Kaas) is a major European chanteuse and Alsatian — and proud of her combined Germanic-Latin combined heritage.
She is singing of how there is no sun in their Germanic skies but thelight is in their hair…. And they have no blue skies either, but there is blue in their eyes…., and when they give their word, their promesse, the Alsatians keep it.
“I am upright in my silence, my earth and my character…I know whom I like and whom I detest.”
This is very germanic….
She also sings of the absurdity of people on both sides of the German-French border going so often to war against each other. This is one of my favorite songs ever…. (It goes without saying that Kass has never married or had any children….Sigh.)
A video about Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace…which is now by far the richest, cleanest, and safest province of France….
.
Anyway, Bringing Up Bébé corresponded totally with my own experience in France in 2004-05….
Interesting how Slavs refer to their country as the Motherland, the Latin French say the maternal country (“la mère patrie”), but the Germans say, of course, Das Vaterland, The Father–Land. 😉
Speaking of yang energy, and Anglo-Saxons have a lot of it, or rather they HAD a lot of it, in “The Great Santini,” Robert Duvall plays a father and archetypical Marine who runs his family like a Marine Corps barracks. 😉
Masculinity goes overboard here….just too yang….I must say that my father was never even remotely this bad.
(Spoiler alert — Santini dies at the end in a genuinely heroic act to save civilians as his plane crashes)
The entire movie:
.
Solutreanism is integrating both the male and female energy, the harsh and the gentle, and understanding that kids thrive best on clear limits, lots of love and learning to be polite.
American kids just walk out of the room. French kids say “bonjour” as soon as they see an adult, and “au revoir” every time they leave the presence of an adult!
American kids throw tantrums in restaurants, if they are not left behind entirely as holy terrors; French kids eat vegetables quietly and smile at adults when spoken to!
I saw it myself!

……OUTRAGED DIXIE FATHER EXECUTES A LAPTOP AFTER DAUGHTER TRASHES HER PARENTS ON FACEBOOK
A Canadian wrote me in reaction:
He needs to get the “Father of the Year” Award!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s time to take direct action with these young people.
I went to a funeral this afternoon and stood back to take a look at “what” was there. Well, one couple I know, has everything and she is so spoiled that I was thinking what will she do when the feathers hit the fan as she is totally oblivious to what is happening.
Grandparents need to be monitors of society and stewards of the future or their children and grandchildren will have no life. Unaware people simply do not see what is coming and I see it but feel helpless at the same time. I do what I can but I always feel it is not enough.
The young people are really out of control with the facebook stuff as was Wayne Gretzky’s daughter. She acts like a young slut with no respect for anyone.
God will get even with these kids, even though it is not really their fault they turned out this way as I consider them to be victims of their horrid upbringing, but now they need boot camp to correct the problems.
Our work is cut out for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
Me and mom had a family bed. We never discouraged the kids from joining us. Our kids turned out great, and even as adults, will lay down in bed with us and discuss their adult troubles and challenges.
I do not understand parents who exile their newborns into separate beds in separate rooms. Where is the love in that?
Thanks for this comment.
It is so sad that so many have few or even no kids, or brats, or druggies, or obnoxious libtards who will not even speak with their own parents whom “Brandon” just labeled as “Ultra-MAGA extremists.” 😉
.
Marriage and having a family can be a source of real joy and growth … but, frankly, I see this nowadays only in homeschooling families and amongst devout Christians, which are often overlapping groups.
Margi was saying the other day, with her Stage IV cancer, “if I had had children, they could be with me now.”…..
I deleted a vile comment on yours by a leftard. I just love these jokers who themselves believe in incest, late-term abortion, gay marriage, and what they euphemistically call “minor attraction,” and then, in the rankest accusatory inversion, smear us with what is actually in their own filthy minds.
I have experience from 2 years of youth work, with children and young people. A social pedagogue told me at that time, 12 years ago, that in the German social pedagogy everything revolves only around the child, only the child, and what it wants is in the center, whereas in French social pedagogy the child would have to subordinate itself to the family.
There is probably much truth in it, because the NWO’s Social Engineering plans to incite children against their parents, to drive wedges between the generations, and in many ways.
But the influence of the parents is of course limited. The NWO inflicts violence on the children on many levels (multicultural violence etc.), the church institutions (with frustrated “brides of Christ”) committed, until the 1970s and in “normal everyday life,” much physical and psychological violence on countless children. There happened by default things, also in the FRG, which would lead to the immediate closure of the institution by today’s standards.
It was by no means only another era: the satanic, priest-controlled institutions deliberately produce suffering energy and misery. Then some are surprised when children become “problematic” afterwards or when the violence is even reproduced.

in German: Französische versus deutsche Sozialpädagogik
Ich habe Erfahrungen aus 2 Jahren Jugendarbeit, mit Kindern und Jugendlichen. Eine Sozialpädagogin sagte mir damals vor 12 Jahren, daß sich in der deutschen Sozialpädagogik alles nur um das Kind drehen würde, nur das Kind und was es wolle im Mittelpunkt stehen würde, wohingegen sich in der französischen Sozialpädagogik das Kind der Familie unterzuordnen hätte.
Da ist wohl viel wahres dran, denn das NWO-Social Engineering sieht ja vor, Kinder gegen ihre Eltern aufzuhetzen, Keile zwischen die Generationen zu treiben, auf verschiedenen Wegen.
Der Einfluß der Eltern ist aber natürlich begrenzt, die NWO fügt den Kindern auf vielfacher Ebene Gewalt zu (Multikulti-Gewalt etc.), die kirchlichen Einrichtungen (mit frustrierten “Bräuten Christi”) begingen bis in die 1970er Jahre auch im “normalen Alltag” viel körperliche und psychische Gewalt an unzähligen Kindern, da geschahen standardmäßig Sachen, auch in der BRD, die nach heutigen Maßstäben zur sofortigen Schließung der Einrichtung führen würden. Es war keineswegs nur eine andere Zeit, die satanisch kontrollierten Pfaffen-Einrichtungen erzeugen vorsätzlich Leidenergie und Elend. Dann wundern sich manche, wenn Kinder im Anschluß “problematisch” werden oder sich die Gewalt gar fortpflanzt.
Thanks.
In Occupied Germany, of course the reverse must be taught of the NS principle “Du bist nichts; dein Volk ist alles” (“You are nothing: your folk is everything”).
Now it is: “I am everything; my folk is nothing.”
You put it perfectly, John: “Now it is: ‘I am everything; my folk is nothing.’ As tragic as it sounds, I have to laugh because it is the hard truth summed up in one sentence. Carolyn Yeager once said/wrote, analogously, that the Nazis were aware that there were different population groups. However:
The hardened tendencies of class thinking were loosening up at that time. There was the Reich Labor Service.[1] As far as I remember correctly, you, John de Nugent, wrote about it again and again: People of all different occupational classes and “classes” came together and did practical work. When you get to know each other on the spot, it is something quite different from living side by side exclusively in isolation. You then learn to appreciate the other person as a human being, for his or her human qualities.
Also, you brought an example where the community did not stand idly by while an alcoholic squandered the family money but put a stop to it. The children of certain military grades could study at university, I think, there was progress and awakening in numerous places. Today, on the other hand, anti-ideals are preached on all conceivable levels, for a maximum annihilation of people, nations and animals.
And: In the newspaper “Junge Freiheit” [2] an article appeared about 20 years ago in which it was said that in the 1950s the whole class conceit returned with full force, the modern time of awakening was then over. And, as someone told me, at the FRG school in the 1950s they learned that there would be no more classes/states and that Churchill would be a great statesman. However, the class thinking was still omnipresent for a long time later, when the wife of Doctor So-and-So came to the store checkout, she was given priority, etc., etc.

In German: Ich-Größenwahn versus Gemeinschaftssinn
Sie haben es perfekt formuliert, John: “Now it is: ‘I am everything; my folk is nothing.’, so tragisch es klingt, ich muß dabei lachen, denn es ist die knallharte Wahrheit in einem Satz zusammengefaßt. Carolyn Yeager sagte/schrieb mal sinngemäß, daß die Nationalsozialisten sich bewußt waren, daß es verschiedene Bevölkerungsgruppen gibt. Jedoch:
Die verhärteten Standesdünkeltendenzen lockerten sich damals. Es gab den Reichsarbeitsdienst.[1] Sofern ich mich richtig erinnere, schrieben Sie, John de Nugent, immer wieder darüber: Menschen unterschiedlichster Berufsklassen und “Schichten” kamen zusammen und leisteten praktische Arbeit. Wenn man sich vor Ort kennenlernt, dann ist das etwas ganz andereres, als wenn man ausschließlich isoliert nebenher nebeneinander lebt. Man lernt dann den anderen als Mensch schätzen, ob seiner menschlichen Qualitäten.
Auch brachten Sie ein Beispiel, in dem die Gemeinschaft nicht tatenlos zusah, wie ein Alkoholiker das Familiengeld verpraßte sondern dem Einhalt geboten. Die Kinder von bestimmten Militär-Graden konnten glaube ich an der Universität studieren, es gab Fortschritt und Aufbruch an zahlreichen Stellen. Heute hingegen werden Antiideale auf allen nur denkbaren Ebenen gepredigt, für eine maximale Vernichtung der Menschen, Völker und Tiere.
Und: In der Zeitung “Junge Freiheit” [2] erschien mal vor ca. 20 Jahren ein Artikel in dem stand, daß dann in den 1950er Jahren der ganze Klassendünkel mit voller Wucht zurückkehrte, die moderne Aufbruchszeit war dann vorbei. Und, wie mir selber jemand erzählte, an der BRD-Schule lernte man in den 1950er Jahren, daß es keine Klassen/Stände mehr gäbe und Churchill ein großer Staatsman wäre. Das Ständedenken war jedoch noch lange Zeit später allgegenwärtig, wenn an der Geschäfte-Kasse die Frau von Doktor So-und-So kam, wurde sie bevorzugt drangenommen, usw. usf.

Filthy, stupid, ape-like NIGGER abducted, raped and killed white mother of two while she was out jogging:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=262hwgsdC3U
This is all too common, and was the reason for the formation of the KKK after the Civil War, when these black animals were turned loose on America’s white population by good old “Abe” Lincoln. Was he a crypto-Jew? “Abe” supposedly wanted to send them all back to Africa or Central America, so then why did he turn them all loose instead?
Yeah, but we Yankees were all experts on the race question. We had read all about the noble blacks in our jew-run newspapers…..
.
We Yankees owe the South one hell of an apology — for slandering them as evil, for killing 250,000 beautiful white men who were on their own soil, desiring only the freedom to run their own affairs and ensure the safety of their southern women, and wantonly burning down half their country in pure terrorism… “with malice toward none, with charity toward all” [sic].

I am proud my wife is from North Carolina and a Southerner! 🙂
Glory, glory, hallelujah…. The burning of Atlanta from “Gone with the Wind”:
When Lee invaded Pennsylvania, he burned nothing but campfires, and didn’t harass the citizenry.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.
