EXPECTATIONS VERSUS REALITY OF A NEW MOM
“Behind every smile, there’s a mother who has cried in silence, feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders”. In this post, I wanted to reach out to NEW MOM who are bravely experiencing their first days at home with their little ones this holiday season. My heart and soul are with you. I know how difficult it is for you to move around with your baby at your breast. I know your stitches hurt, and you sleep less than two hours. It will all pass. I don’t know if the beginnings of motherhood were idyllic for any of you, but for me, they weren’t. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/nobody-asked-me/ I remember how…

IMPROVE YOUR LIFE, HAVE A CHILD, MAYBE EVEN TWO
“We are changing our lives for children who don’t care” As you may know from my previous posts, they are all laced with sarcasm and reflect the reality of the events. I don’t make things up; I write based on my own experiences, I don’t slander anyone, and I don’t use aggressive comments. All the stories described are intended to evoke positive emotions in you, and above all, laughter.Therefore, the following post is true, but written with a great sense of humor. It was created after I heard the words from loved ones: “You wanted to have a child, so don’t complain.” How has my life improved since having children?…

MY LIFE WITH CHILDREN IS FULL OF SURPRISES
“The best thing about family life is that every day is full of surprises, half of which are sweet and tasty and the other half bitter and real” I get in the car and turn on the radio: “Oh, what wonderful music!” Thoughts race through my head: What favorite movie, a nice get-together with friends, or a family party do I recognize this melody from? And then my brain remembers – of course, from the cartoons I’ve been watching since becoming a mom. What’s your favorite movie? Forget it, woman, you’re a mother. In the evening, when the kids are asleep, even if I put on my favorite movie, I…

WELCOME TO THE PATIENT MOMS CLUB
“Mom is patient, even when she hears from her mini version every day that she is doing everything wrong”. I often think to myself: God, why do I have to repeat something to my children a hundred times or more? How many times have I told my children that it is nice to say hello to others? When will they finally learn the simple word: “thank you” every time they get something? I want to teach them some main rules, something that will help them in adult life, something that will show others they are good people. And how does this play out in practice? It depends on the day.…

DIFFERENT WAYS TO SPEND WEEKEND AS A PARENT
“Your kids don’t know what a weekend is. But neither do you, because you’re a parent.” Breakfast serving and cleaning assistant A weekend for me shouldn’t be called a weekend, but a part-time job, and I don’t mean my actual part-time job as a blogger. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-to-know-without-words-that-you-are-a-mother/ My weekend started with waking up around 7:30 because the kids wanted breakfast. And that was the least of my responsibilities. In the living room, there was still a blanket construction site, a house half of which belonged to Dorothy and the other half to Patrick. Patrick also had drills and all the necessary tools on his side, and on Dorothy’s side, the entire…

HOW TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO THE EMOTIONS OF OUR BABIES?
When I came across a video online about the origins and causes of children’s nervous breakdowns, the image of the child in the video stuck in my head for a week. SADNESS The film is short but incredibly moving. The first episode takes place at home, in the morning. From the very beginning, the boy is rushed to school by his parents. The most overused word they use is “quick.” This applies not only to situations where it might be used, such as “walk quickly, the car is waiting,” but also to any morning activity, such as eating quickly, drinking quickly, and dressing quickly. This film perfectly shows the emotions…

VALUABLE TIME FOR PARENTS
“Everyone should have the right to holidays, both those with children and those without children”. Holiday! It’s such a lovely time. They always fly by, but the memories remain. For me, these memories make it easier to collaborate and calm my emotions at work. I can’t imagine not having a longer break from work to return relaxed and energized. In my family, we spend a week of vacation with the kids and four or five nights alone. I’ve heard mixed reviews from various parents. Some people say leaving children alone on vacation is uncool. While others say they practice it and consider it essential for parents. To me, it’s the…

AID KIT FOR NEW MOMS
“You know you’re a mom because you have baby wipes in every bag, room, car, and under the stroller.” When the firstborn comes into the world, we have bags full of diapers, wipes, creams, etc. The little one lies there and pees and poops, and these are the priority accessories packed under the stroller. Our resources for older toddlers look different. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/from-one-year-with-my-children-to-another-few/ Today, I will provide a short list of what new mothers need for toddlers. When our kids start walking, let alone running and using all the devices that are faster than me: balance bike, scooter, bicycle, etc. For most advanced moms, this list may seem ridiculous because they…

WHY DO MOMS THINK THAT RUNNING ON PLAYGROUNDS IS FORBIDDEN?
Do you know the words overprotection, isolation, and oversensitivity? In this post, we will read a little about it. As a mother, I have a strange feeling lately that the number of parents who have their own ideal world with their child has increased. They try to spread the rules of this world to all the playgrounds around them.From a distance, you can see their overprotection and disgust for other children playing. What’s more, their toddler doesn’t let himself be isolated and most often escapes into crowds of other happy toddlers, but the parent does not see satisfaction in this, only disgust. Quickly takes the child to a safe and…
