Does anyone read this Blog ;-)?

-
I had been wondering if anyone reads this blog due the fact it doesn't get (m)any comments. But from time to time I get emails from friends so I do KNOW that it is being read. Today I was looking through the settings and realised that the blog had an automatic restriction for comments. I have lifted that so that anyone can comment, even anonimously. So if you have tips or would like to say anything at all, go ahead :-)

    Hi Ania, can’t believe my little neighbour from Garran has such a light and fresh writing style. Love your blog and so do my 'promoted to mum status' friends. Keep it up! ... Monika

    Thanks Mon. Remember how I used to write poems and you said I'd one day be a poet ;-)? Hope to catch up next time in Oz. Hugs.

I know what you’re thinking, that I’m going to write about how children want to be independent and tend to get frustrated when we want to help them do something. No. I’m not talking about children here, but us mothers. A couple of days ago, as I left the café I had been enjoying dessert at with my stepson and his friends, I blurted out that I am busy because I have a fire engine birthday cake to make that evening. Filip’s young friend was surprised, “Why don’t you just order one?” she asked. I thought about it for a moment (horrified by her suggestion), and quickly said: “It’s a mother’s ambition thing, one day you’ll understand.” That evening, despite feeling sick obviously coming down with some sort of bug, I managed to get the kids involved in helping mix and bake the cake (after Googling “easy chocolate cake recipes”). While the cake cooled, I put the kids to bed and edited 10 or so pages of text before my hard drive crashed. Luckily I managed to email what I had done first –...

Trip to Australia, 2010 – 2011

Before the children started school in Poland, we decided to take them to Australia for six months to improve their English and spend time with my parents and friends. During that time I was smart and organised enough to send group letters to friends and relatives in Poland, keeping them up-to-date with our trip. Now going back to these letters it is a true pleasure to read long-forgotten details of our special time there, and I have decided to upload a summary to this blog. December – January Our big family voyage does not get off to an easy start. Since my husband spent the week before the trip on business in both Cairo and Algiers, I spent some time on our airport’s arrivals and departures website. This way I noticed that the flight we were taking to Vienna (6:20 pm) had been regularly cancelled or delayed due to the weather. On the day we are leaving everything looks fine until the last minute when, at 6:25, the flight is cancelled and we are sent home with packed ba...

Working-from-Home Mother

When planning or expecting a baby, the first thing many of us think about is work. What will happen to me? Will I lose my job? Will I be able to afford to stay at home as long as I want to? It’s a tough situation. I notice a “trend” among Australian friends – most seem to have a year off and return to work part-time when their child is around 12 months old, putting the child into daycare a couple of days a week. This is really interesting because in Poland it’s very different. Daycare is almost non-existent here. I mean, you don’t hear about it. It has a very bad reputation and most people see it as a last resort. But in Poland there are other options available that are not in Australia. I.e. it is relatively inexpensive to hire a nanny. Ok, it is getting more expensive by the year, but for professionals with good salaries it is still moderately to very affordable. Most mothers tend to go back to work after maternity leave ends, around the time the baby is five months old. Several pe...
