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…

WHERE DO MOMS GET ENERGY TO SUCCEED THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
“Mom energy – comes from caffeine mixed with sticky kisses.” MOMMYS ARE ENERGY MONSTERS I remember going to the Nursery with a pram, little Dora in it, and Patrick on the stroller stand. There was also a scooter or a balance bike hanging on the buggy. I pushed that weight uphill – unfortunately – because that’s where the Nursery was. Without any effort, without a drop of sweat, or out of breath. When I think about it, I tell myself that I was strong, I had so much energy, I wouldn’t do it now. And you know what I think? I’m lying to myself, of course I would; all mothers…

IS IT EASIER WITH CHILDREN OVER 3 YEARS OLD?
“When you hear all day that everyone is doing something better than you, and in the evening you’re the one they call to give them a goodnight kiss.” Last weekend, I thought: Is life easier for parents with children over 3 years old? There will be as many answers as there are parents. From my perspective, as a mother of two children (my daughter is 5, and my son is 8), I can honestly say that this stage of childhood is not as difficult for me as it was when my children were less than 3 years old. Of course, there are other situations, ideas, and problems of older children,…

HOW A MOTHER’S MIND WORKS VS A CHILD’S MIND?
“I don’t have a baby brain, that’s a ridiculous myth. Now please bring me the box of cereal I put in the fridge.” THE MYSTERY OF MOM’S LACK OF MEMORY Unfortunately, my mind, my baby brain, is annoying me terribly. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/being-a-new-mom-doesnt-mean-being-the-best/I leave the kitchen to get something for the bathroom and come back empty-handed. I have 3 things to buy, literally 3, and I will buy five, of which the three most important ones I will forget two. All my visits, not the pleasant ones, but the mandatory ones that take place several times a year, such as visits to the dentist, hygienist, hairdresser, beautician, have to be written down…

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…
