In the 1930s, James Thurber published the War of the Sexes cartoon series, which featured strange and extremely unfriendly women devouring helpless men. In general, articles, books and essays that consider the relationship between a man and a woman as a military foothold are innumerable. If you think about it, then there really is a small ministry of defense hidden in each of us. Ready to attack on demand. We are afraid of losing ourselves in a partner. Afraid of the pain he might cause
Children in these families do not know what a remark or shout is, no "quieter", "do not touch" and "do not talk", no pressure from the parents. True, often children at the same time may be poorly familiar with hygiene, up to five years old to be friends with a pacifier and hardly understand "what is good and what is bad." What is our - habitual - upbringing, more or less represent everyone, even those who have not yet entered the era of "parenting". Remember
There are no parents in the world who would never punish their child. If such existed, their names would have long been entered in the Guinness Book of Records, and royalties from publications would put this family in the list of the richest people on the planet, somewhere between Bill Gates and the oil sheikhs. Actually, the opposite is also true: there are no children in the world who would not be punished for anything. It is unlikely that the most patient parent will remain Olympic calm at the sight of his child in the tenth
If you observe babies, you will notice that some of them immediately give preference to one or another hand. Others do not make much of a distinction and use both right and left handles equally often. The process of choosing the leading hand in such children, as a rule, lasts up to three years, but, as you know, there are exceptions and not uncommon from the rules. Therefore, the selection process can take up to six years. As a result, about 20 percent of people live on our planet who are equally good at both
When two strips on the test or ultrasound showed that someone has settled in your tummy, tune in for the best and worry and think less. This universal advice for expectant mothers is given by almost all mothers' and children's magazines, doctors in clinics and colleagues at work. Some mothers take this instruction literally and stop thinking altogether. Believe me, this is not the best time for this, although nature whispers: dumber, dumber, dumber. What can you do if the same hemisphere that is responsible for
Once, on Friday, when the weather was amazing, almost summer, Olya was returning from lunch to work. The mood was wonderful, and she was blissfully planning the weekend, for which the concert tickets were already in store. Her path ran past many shops, and, thinking, Olya looked at the windows. Her trained gaze could not fail to note a wonderful blouse on a slender mannequin. The blouse not only was exactly on the figure, seductively highlighted the chest, but it also fits perfectly
She barely had time to notice something new that appeared in his behavior. And then … my head started spinning. The mind left her relaxed body. The jade stalk penetrated the jade gate carefully and unobstructed. Beloved, dear (now she knew what to call him), was already breathing in her ear, and his painfully dear voice, like the singing of a Phoenix bird, enveloped and took him to an unknown country, where wonderful flowers bloomed and an unearthly feeling of pleasure pierced through her body … And then she became small, very small
The process of potty training is an important stage in the development of a baby. And how it will be for a child - interesting and fast, or, on the contrary, long and painful - depends entirely on the parents
On New Year's Eve, you want to choose something special for each family member, friend, colleague or acquaintance. But the choice is too great! How to find a matching scarf? How to choose one and only one of ten creams? Are the gloves the right size? Do you like the perfume?
He loved you madly, carried you in his arms, but after the phrase "there are three of us," your ideal man yesterday, all of a sudden, suddenly began to do things or utter words, the meaning of which is unambiguous: thank you all - everyone is free. Moreover, words and deeds are striking in fiction, fantasy and variety, but their meaning remains the same. If you want to appreciate the creativity of your man - tell him that you are pregnant
To begin with, the bride and groom quarreled over the choice of the date of the celebration. The groom stood up for October, arguing that his friend also has a wedding in October and they can be played "two in one." The bride insisted on July, because in the summer she could freely walk in an open wedding dress among the flowering lawns of the city park. The compromise solution was the idea of entrusting the choice to a third party, forcing this person to make a compelling case in favor of a particular date
Some time passes, I watch the dream, then his hand starts to shake me quietly: "Lenushka, breakfast is ready. Go wash." I open my eyes and see my husband looking at me like a father at a negligent daughter: with love and reproach. He is, of course, right - in the morning I am a terrible mess. I reach for the robe, but they stop me: “Why? In the bath, we linger a little, and when I come to the table, the plates are already smoking and the coffee is ready. I cut my eyes
A partner's side relationship is a symptom of his need. It may be a need that you are unaware of or do not sympathize with, but if you learn about this need, you can understand what is broken in your relationship. It is important to understand that a single case of infidelity does not mean that your partner has gone all out. Many couples go through episodes of infidelity and maintain a relationship that is undoubtedly changing, but can nevertheless become stronger over time as it improves
In general, the fact of ritual "peeling" of seeds immediately alerted me - it smells of delayed development at the oral stage: it seems that Lechina's super mother-in-law has a mouth since infancy - the main and almost the only source of positive experiences. Indeed, with his help, she satisfies her biological needs - to absorb seeds and saw Lech. I said to Leha: "You know, friend, but she, along the way, has an oral-aggressive character." Lech gladly agreed, kind
Meanwhile, the matter is steadily moving towards the wedding. Will it be funny for you? Or will you see your future life together from a different perspective? True, most likely, the initial stage of getting to know the parents was almost painless. Well, your beloved knocked over a cup of tea on your mother’s dress, well, when asked about long-term plans, he naively said "why think about them - you need to be able to enjoy life,"
In a marriage union, a man and a woman are not just cohabitants, but different personalities, who are ideally united by three main components of love. In the Kama Sutra it is written in the best possible way: "Three sources have human drives: Soul, Mind and Body. The attraction of souls give rise to friendship, the drives of the mind give rise to respect, the attraction of the body gives rise to desire. The union of three drives gives rise to love." When "love" ceases to be understood primitively and passes into a quality other than sexual intercourse
Mom, are you? Hello. Well, how are you? - her attention was attracted by pieces of paper on my desk. He takes one of them, looks at it, squinting. I am standing next to me, I don’t know what to say. Reads, puts on a pile of other papers. Then he takes the next one, one more, and another … Sorts all the lying papers. I am silent. - Mom, well, I'll come tomorrow … Yeah … - for the first time during the conversation she looked at me. Expressing as if I asked something completely inappropriate
“Nothing new will happen in your life if you don’t end the old”, - I always tell my friend Alenka, who refuses to go to a bar with our mutual acquaintances in the evening. "Suddenly Sanka has an extra hour for me, and I'm with you …" - the girl rejects and once again dooms herself to a boring evening in the campaign of two phones - a mobile home. And her beloved Sasha (for everyone else - Alexander Sergeevich, perhaps not Pushkin) at this time pondering
An ambulance manages to dump pickles, smoked meats, preserves, marinades, rolls, sourdoughs, pies, cheesecakes, cakes, sweets and even wine on the table, all of which is of its own production. When does she manage to do all this? Oh, what a year I have not been able to solve this mystery. The phone in their house almost never goes off. I need to borrow money, borrow a cake recipe, get professional advice from a psychologist from life - my mother-in-law works faster than 911
Father posted an ad on the Internet: "In connection with the illegal concealment of his daughter from her father, please help in accessing the courtyard of the house at 71/32 Novocheremushkinskaya Street, e-mail: [email protected]" Sooner or later there will be sane people and the doors of this house will open for the father. The purpose of this article is to convey objective information to people, including residents of this house, which will allow opening the doors earlier and finally achieving the reunion of the daughter and dad. Childhood is short. Sorry for the girl
Keep it simple, dear mom, as well as the future parent! I have long dreamed of writing that "deciding on a child" is very easy. Much, very much depends on the mood. But, like Bender in The Golden Calf, I discovered that all this had long been written before me. And yet … Let's start with the main thing: the desire to get pregnant and the fears that are associated with it. It is no secret that today most of us are frightened off not only by the material costs that children bring us, but also by responsibility
How many people, so many opinions, and it’s just a nightmare if they all begin to teach life and see if you look after your child correctly, love and care for him. "Are you swaddling him? What are you ?! Stop immediately, you will disturb his psyche, he will grow up to be a lack of initiative!" He will scare himself with his hands
My mom will always be 37 years old. And when we become the same age, we will sit at a large table in our kitchen, drink hot herbal tea and eat all sorts of delicious things that I will learn to bake by then, just as skillfully as my mother does. We will joke and laugh while waiting for our men to come home. Only, here's where to put those unnecessary wrinkles from her face? .. Mom! Do you want me to get any star from heaven for you? Do you want me to put white downy clouds under your feet? Do you want me to give you everything
Isn't a double standard of morality connected with our culture, inseparably united with the concept of a "fallen woman"? The wife who has extramarital sex is condemned, while the husband is only criticized in such cases. The harm that a double standard inflicts on a woman extends far beyond limiting her sexual activity. That is why coquetry and jealousy go hand in hand. Flirting, a woman wants to feel a new interest in herself, completely without thinking about
It is generally accepted that starting a conversation about feelings is a matter for men. But many representatives of the stronger sex pull with confessions for various reasons. For example, because they are afraid to hear in response: “I don’t you”. Maybe you should take matters into your own hands? We decided to find out what it is like to confess your love first. And what will happen after such recognition. A detachment of three brave correspondents was sent to field research. It looks like the game is worth the candle. According to statistics, 70% of men welcome female initiation
When you live abroad for a long time, every day you see small tragedies in front of your eyes, in which a Russian wife plays the role of a victim, and a foreign husband plays the role of a bastard and a satrap. How, this moldy morel has snatched off such a beauty as his wife and demands something else instead of being grateful to her for the rest of her life for such happiness! Once a friend brought me to a meeting of the Russian community in our city. Almost all those present were housewives, provincial
Those who believe that such spouses have problems in the bedroom due to the fault of their wife, that sex no longer brings them pleasure, that after a few years of marriage, marriage duty is only a duty, and not the closeness of two loving people, are very mistaken. And this is all not true. It's just that for many men, intimacy with their beloved woman is intimacy with their beloved woman. This is, first of all, an emotional attitude, this is giving, this is sex in an adult way, when, in addition to technology, much depends on feelings. Sex with a prostitute
Women have many claims to men. And few of us can resist the temptation to bring down the whole stream of our discontent on a poor man's head. You readily inform your man that he has again scattered socks all over the room, who knows where he stuck the TV remote control. And only in one area do we keep an unapproachable silence. When it comes to the intimate sphere, you can't get a word out of us. But misunderstanding in relationships, men listen to this information very willingly and practically
Until 1917, more than half of the schools in Russia were under the auspices of the Orthodox Church. After the revolution, the church was separated from the state, and education became secular. This was the case throughout almost the entire 20th century. But after perestroika, the ruling circles started talking about the need to introduce the discipline "Foundations of Orthodox Culture" into the general school course. On this basis, spears still break. So is it worth letting the church go to school?
Many will disagree with my phrase, but I was not the first to say it, because "humanity is very old, and you always have to follow in someone's footsteps." So, you need to reasonably approach the separation procedure. Surely, you will now say: "Yes, what a mind, when my heart is torn to pieces, hands tremble disobediently and emotions overwhelm my whole being !!!" As an emotional person, I initially did not understand how it is possible to lay out those feelings that overwhelm a person during separation
You can fight the abundance of information that has overwhelmed you only with the help of common sense and understanding. Don't be like that Englishwoman from the anecdote who refused to give birth to her fourth child after learning that every fourth newborn on Earth is Chinese. And if your doctor listens for half an hour to the beating of a small heart, this simply indicates that he is doing his job well. Although here it is necessary to remember about the other side: often the "patient" is persistently treated for
Recently, the number of men who prefer to live on the money of the better half of humanity has grown exponentially. It seems that the notorious crisis has worked like a litmus test - those who have long dreamed of a carefree and unemployed life have finally come out of the gloom
A young wife needs to purchase several new sets of underwear (just try to hint that panties 125 are overkill), false eyelashes, two dozen lipsticks and the same amount of nail polishes. After a successful devastating raid on shops, the family's money is only enough to buy a few kilograms of pasta. The happy couple will have to eat them until the next payday
But alas, this is art. In life, everything happens differently, although the same plot is taken as the basis: He is a sculptor, a creator, She is plasticine, from which you can sculpt various figures. The father of the theory of relativity and the father of two sons Albert Einstein gave in 1914 a written order to his wife (it hung on the wall, kept in a special folder) how she was supposed to behave: "A. You must make sure that my suits and underwear are always in perfect order, three times a day, hour an hour, bring
Psychologists believe that it is sometimes useful for women to break dishes. Why? There are many explanations. From the point of view of physiology, under stress, the content of alarming hormones - norepinephrine and adrenaline - sharply increases and the body goes into a state of readiness for physical actions (run away, crash). If no activity occurs, the hormonal system returns to normal much more slowly, nervous tension remains
The time is approaching twelve, but it’s still gone. You rush from corner to corner and from speculation to speculation. Got hit by a car, attacked by hooligans or … A sudden guess shakes the mind. So that's where all these phone calls, unexpected business trips and strange delays come from! The returned husband can explain his lateness as he pleases, the credit of trust has been exhausted. You already know exactly what the matter is, there is only a little left to decide - what to do with all "this"
On July 8, our country celebrates the Family Day for the first time. As the world statistics show, now every second marriage breaks up. Divorces are especially common in show business - celebrities have too many temptations. But even among them there are strong families. Maybe they know some secrets about how to keep the relationship? We asked the stars to state their vision of the rules of a happy family life
In addition, you must marry without being either a sympathetic spinster or an outrageous woman of unencumbered behavior. At a certain age, with the same misconceptions about living together, and most importantly, according to strictly defined rules. Attributes and ceremony are sacred and unchanging. And a white dress, and a carpet runner, and a registry office worker solemnly uttering platitudes, and Mendelssohn's march that sore teeth, and a trip through the city center, and a restaurant, in
How little you need to be happy, right? I just want to meet a handsome, rich (and what is important - generous), smart, interesting, charming, gentle, kind, loving man, with a good sense of humor, an expensive foreign car in the garage, a cottage on the seashore and a three-room apartment in the city center … This is such a trifle! Of course, your current boyfriend is also nothing, but here he earns a little, and there is no apartment, and in general there is no prospect! .. You, of course, remember fairy tales, to
Our beloved ones are husbands, lovers, boyfriends, they, oddly enough, are also people, which means that nothing human is alien to them. Yes, kind, noble, attentive, sexy (parasite!), He will transfer the old woman across the road, she will throw the "ten" to the beggar … Not a man, but an angel! Well, where, tell me, where, then, in this angelic creature so many animals … hmm, savage manners. You will look at another: a caring family man, it is a pleasure to look at, but as soon as the wife turns away, so to speak, loosen her grip, and in
