ANY NEWS FROM LIFE WITH TWO CHILDREN?
“Children are like ice cream. They’re messy, melty, brain-freezing, but you can’t get enough of them.” DINNER Dinners are still not good. Throughout the year, I once heard from the children that I had finally managed to make a good dish, it was pasta in mushroom sauce. This year I didn’t make this dish for the first time, but I think my son was in a good mood and that’s why I accepted the praise. Generally speaking, for my children, the best dish is the pasta itself – without the sauce, which they usually call “awful slime”. The tomato soup they ate at grandma’s on the weekend was ok. I…

WHEN YOUR BODY, MIND AND NERVES HAVE ENOUGH!
“Taking care of myself doesn’t mean me first, it means me too.” L.R. KNOST NERVES Working in a corporation where every week there’s a new project to be done so fucking quickly and the deadline kicks your butt again. When you hear every week that this is the last time we’ll work overtime and you stop believing it because you know it’s bullshit. There is also work waiting for you at home. Your children are waiting to be picked up from school. Do homework with your children and feed your children. Then, in such a drastically magical way, you no longer have a minute for yourself. You don’t have time…

LITTLE HELP FROM LITTLE HANDS
“Children’s good habits will help them in the future.” During my second pregnancy, which was dominated by the feeling of constant fatigue, dizziness, and daily vomiting, I decided to ask my three-year-old son for help with everyday duties. What surprised me at first was that he didn’t make any objections, and even enjoyed it. What he liked the most was vacuuming, he could do that for hours. His second favourite duty was taking out the laundry and hanging it up too. My son had his own little drying rack where he hung his socks and underwear. It helped me a lot because I often get dizzy and vomit when I…

THE SILENCE WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND ITS CONSEQUNCES
“When you had a busy day destroying your parent’s house.” I will tell you a few moments of silence that happened to me during motherhood and which taught me that silence with children always means danger. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/ordinary-mornings-by-boss-baby/ The first story of dangerous silence Dorothy was about a year old when she found my makeup bag and applied the brown eye shadow to herself, to the bathroom rug, and to the bathtub. I didn’t have time to clean up, because I was already late after washing Dorothy. Around 2 p.m. I got a call from my husband why the whole bathroom is covered in poop. The second story of dangerous silence…

I MANAGED TO MAKE POTTY TRAINING SATISFYING FOR MY CHILD
“LESS STRUGGLING PARENTS, MORE SATISFIED CHILDREN” Potty training – I’ll show you two examples of how this process went for my son. But first, in your mind, answer the following questions. That’s where I started. Do you remember the feeling that someone told you to do something, rushed you, or, worst of all, gave you orders? And how did you feel then? I felt a need to rebel, I gave up, I felt dissatisfied. Now consider that this is how your child feels when he starts potty training through commands, compulsory education, and unsatisfied training. I am writing this only because I know this way from my own experience. FIRST EXAMPLE…

THE TOOTH BRUSHING METHOD AS SEEN BY YOUR CHILDREN
“BLOOD, SWEAT, TOOTHPASTE AROUND – this is what usually morning looks like” Sometimes it seems to me that the later period of teething is easier to care for the baby’s teeth. I think about it this way because Patrick started teething very late when he was already 10 months old. Right after buying him a toothbrush, he started copying us. For my son was no problem with brushing his teeth, applying toothpaste, or rinsing his mouth. Of course, there were times when he was in a bad mood, and then the toothpaste didn’t suit him, and the colour of the toothbrush was no longer his favourite. Fortunately, after jointly purchasing toothpaste and a toothbrush…

MY CHILDREN’S SLEEPING ROUTINE – IT’S A F**** JOKE
“YOU AND YOUR CHILD ARE READY TO LEARN NEW THINGS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING” I’m not among new parents and new moms anymore, but I try to write posts about parenting roles in a way that will make you laugh and give you a realistic representation of parental life. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/with-the-witchs-advice-my-coffee-never-tastes-the-same/ I add posts about hardships and emotions with newborns. I hope they will be an educational form for you. The main episodes come from my own sincere parenting experiences. I affirm there are no basic rules for new moms and newborns. Theoretically, it may be, but in practice, this method doesn’t exist. As a new mother, I was addicted to reading…

NOBODY ASKED ME
“OF ALL THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN, THE GREATEST IS TO BE A MOTHER”. – LIN YUTANG – With my first child, I started maternity leave in February, one month before the birth. Since I was feeling great physically and mentally, I reverted to my phobia of reading a dozen books. After collecting about 20 recommended books for mothers, I gave up reading the rest. The main reasons for stopping reading were the same stories about the baby’s sleeping routine, the same rules about breastfeeding, the newborn baby’s first stages, and other dry facts of motherhood that were repeated. When I lost all hope for an interesting book, I found a…

ORDINARY MORNINGS BY BOSS BABY
“PARENTHOOD- the scariest hood you will ever go through”. 6 a.m. and the sound of small feet it’s coming. This is my teeny weeny private alarm clock. Never ever later, not on the weekend, why? A day like any other for my children. Mornings with 6:30 it’s a huge surprise but if you complain too much, the next day at 5:30. Rules are rules. Especially if the boss baby made it. Let’s get started! I decided that I would like to share with you my “ordinary mornings” story. And for a better and clear presentation, I made a shortlist with general and unbreakable rules. RULE NO 1 THE COFFEE WILL…
