If only parents knew how many patients I treat who were raped and molested in daycare.

I'm really not sure what to say, other than this just reinforces my resolve to do whatever it takes to ensure my future wife can stay at home.

I'm being completely serious. I'll work two jobs if I have to, just like I'm doing now. The problem is how do you balance the need for money with the even more important need for your time? Your children need you, your spouse moreso.

Multigenerational homes with multiple incomes and multiple stay-at-home caregivers while downsizing on luxuries.

I have zero contact with my family (I'm the white sheep.), so the multigenerational part would have to come from her side of the family. Otherwise that makes perfect sense, seeing as how that was the norm for most of human history.

Or with any descendants you have from here on out. Build it.

It's funny you should mention that. I'm deeply passionate about long term, open-ended projects. (ie, marriage, children, food forest's, beekeeping, infrastructure, estate planning, etc. To be honest, I'm just fascinated by anything with a long contextual time frame.)

How do you confer on your children and grandchildren the importance of these things though? Of keeping land and the homestead within the family? Of using the past as a guide to the future?

Instilling it from birth with one designated heir who controls the entire estate, prenuptial agreements their spouse and all subsequent heir spouses sign, designated roles for non-heirs, and linking the family empire to a traditional religious organization to cement principles.

I couldn't agree with you more. As remarkably stable as primogeniture is, it sometimes has a tendency to create resentment, jealousy, and infighting. Just because you teach your children how important the above is doesn't mean that they'll care.

As for the prenuptial agreements: What would they cover in this case? What would the potential roles be for the non-heirs? Would they receive any of the estate, or perhaps an annual stipend?
