About Me

Thank you for visiting the Modern Times Parenting blog! My name is Bre. I’m the main writer of the blog and my husband, Paul, helps with editing. I’m a stay-at-home homeschool mom of three kids. I’ve been educating myself on libertarianism in theory and practice for the past 7 years or so and I’ve been parenting for a little over 5 years. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English Rhetoric & Writing with a minor in Philosophy so this blog is a very natural progression for me.

Originally, the idea was to write a book, but since my life is a bit chaotic with three young kids, for now, I simply want to put these ideas out there and hope I can inspire some parents to do a little self-reflecting and to perhaps take into consideration these somewhat unconventional parenting practices.

I do want to note that I’m not what many parenting bloggers would call “an expert.” I don’t have a degree in early childhood development. I’m not a child psychologist. I’m simply a mother who loves her children and I want them to live an amazing life full of happiness and freedom. Through observing major societal changes over the past year and a half and through studying history and philosophy for over a decade, I simply need to share what I believe is extremely important for future generations: teaching and honoring consent, self-ownership, and non-aggression.

Over time, I’d love to expand Modern Times to include some guest writers and I am hoping to start a group chat soon for parents who are looking for advice and a place to speak openly and freely about the absolute joys and hardships that come with raising sovereign children.

I’m happy you’re here!
