Twice aunt

Twice aunt

When the phrase "I will have a bride!" Was first heard, one of my friends said: "Kohl, how many of them you will have! Brides and girls!" Tuned in to the "right" thoughts, the child answered without hesitation: "I will have a lot of girls, but only one bride!" - and, having received an approving nod from his beloved aunt, added: "This will be our friend Tom's with Zhenya!" (I meant my girlfriend, who fiddles with him as much as I do and whom he adores). Deputy

Beloved daddy, who made a remark to his youngest daughter at the table, immediately received a very spectacular action in response: Zhenya slowly, with taste, demonstratively (from the word "demon"), lowered her bright head into a plate of porridge, sitting like this (lying with her face in semolina ) until mommy takes pity and takes the stubborn child to the washbasin. I don't even know what I personally did with my monster after such a manifestation of temper

Little things in family life

Little things in family life

What annoys men: 1. The ancient rule of a good wife - the way to the heart is through the stomach. You can cook deliciously, BUT, if your husband is hungry, and your spouse has just started rummaging through the "Book of Delicious and Healthy Food", there will be little sense from breakfast-lunch-dinner. 2. The soup should be visible but not audible. Few men like it when at the table, along with absorption, and sometimes instead of absorption, the chirping of a loving wife sounds. All questions, inquiries, answers and advice are better left

What to read to children?

What to read to children?

A child should start reading in infancy. During this period, the baby learns to use the five senses that are responsible for the perception of the world, including the organs of hearing and vision. Looking at the bright pictures develops the optic nerves, and the mother's soothing voice forms the listening habit. With age, we forget our own childhood, so choosing a book for a kid sometimes becomes an overwhelming task. From the abundance of multi-colored covers in stores, eyes run up. Where to go for advice?

Adoption of a baby

Adoption of a baby

"Russian children should stay in Russia" - this is the slogan put forward by some fighters for children's rights. “We need to ban foreign adoptions,” one of them said. “Yes, I know that a bleak future awaits them here. Many will die before they reach adulthood. But here they will die a natural death when they are simply killed there (abroad).” … Children adopted by foreigners have no chance of finding a family inside Russia. Therefore, the ban on foreign

The fact is that any good upbringing presupposes: a child needs to be grazed like a goat in a meadow. If you miss one, two, it's gone. "A child, like an adult, understands perfectly well when he misbehaves," says Dr. Benjamin Spock, a wonderful expert on children. "Deep down, he feels guilty. He wants to be stopped. But if the child is not stopped, his behavior may become even worse, as if he wants to experience to what extent bad behavior he can

On a powder keg

On a powder keg

My husband began to periodically beat me two or three years after the wedding. Then I did not want to endure it and could have left him, but I was already pregnant and stayed. When my son Denis was born, I sat at home with him, and my husband earned money. He had mistresses and did not hide it from me. Borya is a rich, dissolute and very cruel person. Now I regret that I didn’t leave him, being pregnant, then I could still take care of myself. And after giving birth, I no longer worked, and after a year I fell asleep

Before my wedding, my aunt sighed all the time: "Oh, dear, how is it possible, you are not old yet, beautiful and clever, but for such a thing … It's not the last chance!" When my husband and I walk down the street holding hands, people look at us with curiosity. Some comment: "Probably, no one else needed it, but it is necessary to get married." I laugh in response to sympathetic questions like, "Well, is he at least good?" I love my husband, and his race has no for

Alone at home

Alone at home

You no longer remember what you were so afraid of - whether the dark corridor, the mezzanine on the closet or heavy curtains, behind which it seemed that someone terrible was hiding. You only remember that feeling of your own loneliness and fear. And you always thought: "I will never leave my child alone at home!" But life isn't always on your side.
