@nazpastor This person is full of horse shit that she shouldn’t be dumping in other people’s gardens. My pregnancy was the most happy, relaxed 9 months of my life. My baby is still hard core velcro at 4 months. Please try to erase the memory of this conversation and this person from your mind...

@alabarre09 I stopped like 2-3 weeks pp and when the period came I actually thought it was more lochia but it smelled and looked different. Then at 8w same thing. Body is like clockwork haha.

@seekertruth72 I think “teaching them” will be difficult, if you are speaking to then in English 90% of the time and the remaining 10% becomes an (often frustrating) teachable moment. Most of us here believe in One Parent, One Language - meaning you do not actively teach but rather, to your...

@seekertruth72 Speaking to them exclusively in Italian would force them to get it eventually but it requires patience from you and them in the beginning. A 4 year old for example would pick up Italian very fast if they had to suddenly go to Italian kindergarten. I feel for your kids though...

@mike247 The sign language is awesome, I have to ask my kita about that! I get what you mean. You will do a 2 week introductory period so you will be able to see how well they can communicate with her right? Will be interesting in a few weeks time to hear if you’re feeling it’s going better...

@mike247 Hey there. I’m also living in Switzerland. Honestly, I have zero worries about my kid joining a swiss german daycare without any prior german skills. I know of many many parents where this has been an easy smooth transition and a baby picks up the german quite fast. My baby will start...

@trevallion I believe the younger generations learn English much easier than we used to when we were growing up. I did not have any English exposure at all until I was 10 years old. Today it is different because their online world is much bigger than we had with our dial up and most of the...

@trevallion I think you should actually be happy with this and put even less effort into teaching her English. She will never learn Czech living outside of the Czech Republic except through you guys and the grandparents. English is everywhere. English is the global language she will inevitably...
