THE NEW MOM’S BODY REVOLUTION AND MORE UNSPEAKABLE FACTS
“Every mom is a superhero with the power to find humor in the face of disaster.”
MOM FUNCTION
Today I am writing about person who have achieved the title of Mother.
Newborn moms who do not know if they are fulfilling themselves in this particular role devote their time to make children see that they are there and can count on them at any time.
I guess all new Moms had to listen to or read, sooner or later, out of whole cloth – parenting advice, pregnancy advice, advice about the newborn, advice on breastfeeding, infant diet, etc. Less or more useful. And to remind myself and not to forget, I am attaching such a funny set.

THE SET OF LIES THEY SELL YOU:
- pregnancy is the magic time,
- two kids are easy peasy, one child will take care of the other, and you will have more time for yourself,
- a short time after giving birth you lose weight, special when you are breastfeeding Mom,
- newborn sleeping at night,
- let your kids stay up later, they will sleep tomorrow longer,
- children eating everything,
- breastmilk is fully fat don’t need to use formula,
- newborn only cry because of dirty diapers, hunger, or colic,
- a child up to 4 years of age must have naps,
- cesarean birth is not a real birth. I heard this once and I still can’t believe it. I have no words for such opinions,
- and from my nail lady: “If I get pregnant I will only work for two months because children of working mothers have ADHD and unnecessary stress during pregnancy.“
- sleep when your baby sleeps,
- a newborn must wear socks, also in summer, the idea of all Polish and Czech grandmothers.
THE SET OF TRUTH THAT I SELL YOU :
- diabetes, anemia, varicose veins, constipation, and non-control farting, appear magically during pregnancy time
- two children can easily create an earthquake, flood, and hurricane in one room
- if for someone 2-3 years to lose weight is too long, bravo. I reached my pre-pregnancy fitness point just before my second pregnancy,
- the baby sleeping all night and the unicorn – both myths, after kids you never have to set an alarm clock,
- a child will not eat a banana if it is not cut according to the current idea,
- I used breast milk and formula, but thanks to this mix my baby sleeps well,
- newborn baby cries when he or she feels like it, and only he or she knows why,
- endless naps of toddlers – JOKE, my son stopped taking naps after he was 10 months old, and my daughter after she was 2 years old,
- both of my births were complicated. My life and my daughter’s life were in danger during my second. I think if the decision to have a cesarean had been made quickly enough, it would not have been as traumatic as a natural birth, which did not feel natural at all,
- you sneeze, you pee, the same with strong laughter.
DISTANCE YOURSELF
I share mainly funny facts about being a new mom, a mom of two, and a Polish mom in the Czech Republic. Tough parenting days exist, and there are more tears of helplessness that we hold back every day than those we shed with laughter. We need to approach the role of parenting advice with more distance and joke freely about this type of thing.
We should talk to other parents about our experiences. Share the facts, not just the sweet truth. Of course, parenting isn’t easy, but there are so many funny stories about parenting that I’ll focus on them. I don’t want to write only about my difficult moments, days, months, years 🙂
