The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle

I bought it right after I got married and read it a few more times afterwards. I grew up defensive but this help me remember my husband first, and in doing so, he put me first.

Jorden B. Peterson's book "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos". Great insight into children's development.

Nutrient-dense preconception (both parents)/pregnancy/nursing diet. The guidelines are originally from the Weston A Price Foundation, which publishes a quarterly journal that has a healthy baby photo gallery, which is also online. https://www.westonaprice.org/healthy-baby-photo-gallery-2000-2004/

My current favorites off the top of my head (no particular topic category, but I mostly read non-fiction):

The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz

Very insightful on the process and powers that drove the country to “low fat.” I like the audiobook much better than reading the book since the book has very long and dense paragraphs. After listening to the audiobook, I have a re-affirmed love for traditional eating and fully enjoy my raw whole milk, butter, red meat, and eggs.

Gentle Measures and the Management and Training of the Young by Jacob Abbott  

This is a very old book with very traditional, Biblical morals. However, instead of the standard punitive parenting (spanking, lording over etc.) sometimes I see in traditional circles who just take a few Proverbs out of context to guide their method, this book gives a mother insight on the inner workings of a child and helps her apply very successful discipline with gentleness, love, and wisdom. If you can get past the antiquated language, this is (in my opinion) the best child training book in print. You can get the PDF free online as it’s out of copyright or you can buy a reprint hardcopy off Amazon.

  Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua  

Amy has (or had? Haha, I think we see her change by the end of the book) a very different view of parenting than I do. Very traditional Asian “overachiever” parent type. However, I was surprised that I LOVED this memoir—specifically, the audiobook read by the author. I could tell the mother pushed herself hard too and loved her husband and two girls, even though she is nothing like the standard American parent. Her daughters wrote some pieces online after the book was released and you can tell they still love their mother—they even helped write the book. Sometimes it’s good to see other parenting styles and realize that you can make some mistakes (which Amy acknowledges) and still have your kids turn out fine if over all, they see you love them and do not have a double standard.

Charlotte Mason book lists for older grades  

Charlotte Mason (1842-1923) helped reform English education by broadening the narrow “drill and kill” classroom approach. She was a huge proponent of “living books.” Lists like the following contain many old classics that make for great reading, even for adults. https://www.amblesideonline.org/curriculum.shtml Scroll down and you’ll see “Booklists by Year”

• The Art Of The Argument - Stefan Molyneaux
• The Whole Brain Child - Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.
• Ina May's Guide to Childbirth - Ina May Gaskin
• Difficult Mothers - Terri Apter
• Spotless [and other books by] - Shannon Lush and Jennifer Fleming
• The Sleeper Awakes [or anything by] - H G Wells

I always like to recommend Anne Morrow Lindbergh's diaries and letters--there's a couple different volumes.

Re-reading them again I'm struck by how she combined being an intelligent, accomplished woman (few people know she accompanied Charles on many early flights, operating the Morse code radio and such, she learned these specifically to help him), with being a wife and mother, and her honesty about difficulties. I find her life and writing very inspiring. She also wrote a little book, "Gift From the Sea" in the 60s about trying to achieve balance in your life, which some may enjoy as well--it's a quick read.

Got turned onto the Foxfire series from Voat and picked up the set. It is a great read so far. https://www.foxfire.org

I'll add one of my favorites: Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House by Cheryl Mendelson. It's basically a textbook on how to keep house.

Right Wing Woman by Andrea Dworkin. It explains the motivations behind a radical feminist and becoming a right wing woman / wife / mother.

Jane Eyre. Lamb by Christopher Moore is hilarious. I just started it.

Great submission. I'm going to sticky this post for a few days and then place it in the sidebar. Thank you.

I have started reading Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin. I watch Wife With A Purpose's videos a lot, and she said that book was very important to her.

The following are other books in my to-read list that she recommended about traditional parenting in this video. (She explains why she thinks each one is important, and also recommends several books and resources for homeschooling in there.)
