Bunnies are not only the symbols of Easter, but they are also the symbols of immense cuteness. Unlike cats and dogs, whose habits we have already learned by heart, these adorable pets are still full of wonder for us. That’s why they are able to surprise their owners with their ordinary behavior every day.
We at Bright Side couldn’t resist these fluffy-eared cuties and we would like to introduce them to our readers too.
“My wife paid $60 for this bed for our indoor rabbit. And this is what it sleeps in every night...”

“Meet Gimpy! He refuses to eat the lettuce unless he is sitting in the bowl.”
These bunnies think this doggo is their dad.
“We bought my friend a rabbit for his birthday. He posted a picture this morning.”
Feeling cute right now, might just eat your wires later.

Along with the joy of having a baby, many women struggle with their body image after pregnancy. New stretch marks and a few extra pounds make them feel less beautiful and unattractive. However, that’s not how their husbands feel. In fact, many men admit that they find their wives even more attractive after having a baby. We at Bright Side want to share some men’s opinions to support and empower new mothers.
Women make men feel like they have started a new life.
The anticipation of becoming a new father may make a man feel like a new era has started not only in his partnership with his spouse, but also for his own personality. He gets a chance to see his wife and himself from a new, fascinating angle. Justin Ervin proves this by posting touching words dedicated to his wife, Ashley Graham on his Instagram: “These 9 years have played out like a lifetime. I guess it’s because my life really started once you came into it. Now that we’ve made a life together, let’s make a life together. I love you and I love us. All of us...”
Women become hotter for their partners after becoming mothers.
In the thread “Unpopular Opinion” on Reddit, a user posted a statement that women become more attractive after having kids. Most of the users agreed, saying that they found their wives more appealing after they gave birth to 1, 2, and even 5 kids. One user wrote: “My wife has had 2 kids and she’s hotter now than ever. I tell her this constantly.”
Women have so much strength.
Giving birth to a child is the most selfless act that a woman can perform. It’s a huge emotional and physical sacrifice, and after having a baby, a woman’s responsibility increases greatly. But they never complain and manage to gain more and more strength every single day.
Women become even more kind and caring.
Even with a baby that needs attention 24/7, women always find time to take care of their husbands. They always stand by their men, ready to support them through all of life’s ups and downs.
Women do incredible things.
Any man who witnesses the pregnancy and birth of his child can admit that his wife did something impossible. It’s beyond men’s understanding, and therefore, inspires endless love and respect.
Women create a closer, more intimate relationship with their partner.
A new baby changes everything, especially the relationship between the parents. This experience creates an even deeper love, a very special bond, and brings the couple closer together.
Women make men’s dreams come true.
Women give their husbands the most precious gift — a loving family. And men will be forever grateful for it.

Most couples , where one of the partners is fooling around , divorce very soon afterward .
• In a marriage , it is important to give your partner freedom .
But remember that too much activity outside of marriage destroys it .
Also , if one of the partners needs too much attention on social media , this is bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ activity of one of the spouses makes the other one suspicious .
Many people start thinking about divorce just because their partners spend a lot of time on their phones .

Many people know the unfortunate statistics: 50% of marriages end in divorce . But psychologists claim that it doesn’t have to be this way and that about 75% of married couples have a chance to stay together for their entire lives.
We at Bright Side always hope for the best. We hope that the facts we’ve collected here about marriage and divorce will help you to build a really happy relationship. And at the end of the article, there is a bonus — a simple and very effective way to solve family conflict .
Scientists found that the more money a couple spends on the wedding ceremony, the higher the chance the marriage has of falling apart . Also, if the ring is very expensive, chances are the marriage will not last.
Many couples are sure that if they live together before getting married, they will get used to each other and will have a better marriage. The thing is, living together before marriage makes the marriage less stable and increases the likelihood of divorce.
The excessive activity of one of the spouses makes the other one suspicious . Many people start thinking about divorce just because their partners spend a lot of time on their phones.
In a marriage, it is important to give your partner freedom. But remember that too much activity outside of marriage destroys it. Also, if one of the partners needs too much attention on social media , this is bad for the marriage.
Photographers claim that it’s possible to predict the development of marriage by how the couple cuts the wedding cake . Most couples, where one of the partners is fooling around, divorce very soon afterward.
Psychologists recommend counting the ratio of positive and negative interactions in a couple . A conflict is a negative interaction and going somewhere together, a romantic dinner, or a good talk are examples of positive interactions. Happy couples have a ratio of 5:1, so they have 5 positive interactions for each negative one. The lower the first number is the worse it is for the marriage.
Good news: the same study shows that a full-fledged honeymoon improves the relationship between spouses . So, it’s better to spend the money on a trip, rather than on a big ceremony or very expensive rings.
Common interests don’t make families stronger . In order for them to work, there has to be mutual respect. For example , there are 2 families where the spouses have a common hobby — rafting. But one couple may treat this hobby as a way to spend time together, and the other — as a duty to do something together.
Another popular opinion is that the more children, the fewer chances you’ll get divorced. The first child decreases the chance of divorce by 30%, the second and the third child don’t have the same effect. Still, couples with children have more arguments but their marriages are stronger .
Most people think that children make a marriage stronger. In families with children, there are more conflicts because most men become unsatisfied with their marriage after a child is born .
The main visual sign of contempt is facial asymmetry . If a partner grins showing their teeth, pursing their lips, or lifting the corner of their mouth, they feel contempt.
The most serious problem, that always points at a coming divorce, is contempt. This is a very destructive feeling. Contempt starts with rolling eyes when talking to each other or joking at each other in a mean manner.
Psychologist John Gottman, who correctly predicts divorces in 90% of cases, named what he calls the “4 horsemen” — behavior models that, after 5-6 years, almost definitely lead to breaking up . They are criticism, contempt, defensiveness (when one of the partners refuses to see the position of the other one), and stonewalling (emotional lockdown).
Watching romantic comedies together is a great way to become closer, safely discuss family problems, and even avoid getting divorced.
The spouses that use the words “we,” “our,” and “us” more than “I,” “my,” and “me” are happier and divorce less often . If they love recalling their past together, they have a very good chance of staying together.
The truth is good. But if you constantly tell your partner about something you don’t like about them, you’re making the marriage weaker . It’s better to talk, not about the things you don’t like, but about the things that you want to get . For example, instead of, "You don’t give me enough attention, you could say, “I want more attention from you.”
A mortgage can be a good source of necessary “problems.” It turns out that paying for something together makes marriages stronger. These couples have 5-10 times fewer divorces .
Married people need problems . It gets boring to live in a calm relationship, and even if there is no real trouble, they will create it. Trying to make your life as peaceful as possible is the surest way to a divorce. To make a marriage stronger, people need to solve problems together regularly.
Bonus: To make a marriage stronger, you need a sheet of paper, a pen, and... 21 minutes a year.
Scientists did an experiment where married couples spent 7 minutes, 3 times a year, describing their conflicts on paper. The only condition they had was to talk about their arguments as if a third party was describing them. It turned out that this experience makes marriages stronger and increases the level of satisfaction in a relationship.
Try the habit of “documenting” conflicts: who said what and how it all led to the result. If you describe the events from a neutral position, there is a big chance of identifying the real reason for the conflict and stopping the snowball of arguments.

“It doesn’t matter if you have style, reputation, or money, if you don’t have a good heart, you’re worth nothing,” said great French comedian Louis de Funès. And it’s true. As long as a person has a place for compassion and mercy in their heart, they possess truly priceless wealth.

If you feel this world has become too cruel, just remember this man, who built a ladder for ducklings in a local pond.
Translation: “Dear residents, This ladder has been constructed for the ducklings. They are not able to come to the shore and dry their feathers which sometimes results in their death. There is a mother duck with her baby ducklings living on this pond. There used to be 7 of them, now there are only 2 ducklings left! Please, don’t destroy this ladder! Also, please make sure to ask your kids to keep this ladder safe. Save nature and the world will be kinder to us!”

brightside--2020-07-17--15+ Ways to Save a “Dead” Plant, Even If You Don’t Have a Green Thumb

Some people have special bonds with their houseplants , just like Leon and Mathilda from Luc Besson ’ s movie .
And it ’ s so disappointing when one day , we find our green pals taking their last breath , with their leaves helplessly shriveled and dried up .
But the good news here is that you shouldn ’ t rush to mourn over your untimely deceased plant , as there are some ways to jump-start these poor things and make them bloom in glory again .
1 .
Switch decorative or metal pots out for “ healthier ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breathing , it may be because you ’ ve chosen beauty over practicality and have put it into the wrong kind of pot .
Your plant doesn ’ t really care if its “ outfit ” matches the pattern of your new curtains .
Ultimately , they need a healthy environment to grow and bloom in .
So if your plant is in a metal pot or in a nice decorative one without drainage holes , you really need to free it from this captivity .
Metal planters keep heat inside and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ cooking ” in this “ frying pan.
” Ceramic pots with a single drainage hole or with no drainage holes at all will make water stay inside the soil , provoking unhealthy humidity around the roots .
When a plant looks like the one in the picture on the left , it ’ s time to repot it to give it more space .
Before repotting , make sure you clean up the roots and untwist them so that they can absorb water and nutrients more efficiently .
Do it carefully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order to not break the roots and give them more space to breathe .
3 .
Use only filtered water on your plants .
Despite the opinion that tap water is filtered , it still has some levels of chlorine and other chemicals that may be the last bullet for your plant .
Let the water sit for 24 hours before watering the plant .
Distilled water or rainwater is also good for your plant , experts say , as both are slightly acidic and naturally flush away all the chemicals and salts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of the previous usage of tap water .
You can either collect rainwater in a reservoir or put the plants outside to soak in some moisture while it ’ s raining .
5 .
Trim all the “ dead ” parts , but leave about 2 inches of stem above the surface .
6 .
Consider only water-soluble fertilizers and water the plant with a small amount of the mixture .
8 .
Check the pot for hidden cages and remove them .
9 .
Get rid of pests with delicate washing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your precious green friends , you need to say “ no ” to using outdoor soil .
Buy a soil mixture in the supermarket , as it ’ s sterile and will not be contaminated with unwelcome invaders .
Immediately repot your plant into the healthy soil .
Since your plant is too weak , you need to ensure good drainage as well , as this prevents the roots from rot and ensures better resistance against insect invasion .
11 .
Deal with fungus spots and insects by using an oil spray or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and root baths for your plants .
After a long time spent indoors , your plants deserve a real spa-day .
Dry air and non-natural ventilation in your apartment can exhaust them .
To revive them , you ’ ll need to put them into other conditions and give them a good cleaning and soaking .
Put the plants in a bathtub and thoroughly wash them under a showerhead , paying close attention to both sides of the leaves .
This way , you ’ ll wash any remaining pests from the leaves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away harmful substances that have been accumulating in the soil .
If the roots of your plant are prone to rot , the best way to keep the humidity balance is by using hydrogel ( which can be bought in gardening shops ) .
You can also use a baby diaper that ’ s been torn apart — just mix the contents with water until you get a gel texture .
You should add it to the soil of your plant in equal proportions and your perfect self-draining soil will be ready .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ t have to bother with root rot anymore .
15 .
If you have an aquarium , use its water for drop-watering .
You ’ ve probably noticed how fast water plants grow in your aquarium .
This is all because they ’ re constantly “ fed ” by organic and natural products that come to the water as the result of the life activity of your fish .
As long as your tank isn ’ t filled with saltwater , you can use the aquarium water to irrigate your plants and enrich @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restore their vitality .
This , however , won ’ t work if the water in your tank is salty , so be sure to take that into consideration when you practice this type of plant therapy .
You can create a miniature greenhouse for your plant by putting it together with the pot into a clean plastic bag and putting it in some mild indirect light or artificial light .
Make sure to water the plant before this and let the water drain well .
The plastic will let your plant absorb @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can be sure that no matter how busy you are on certain days of the month , your plant will not dry out again .
This method also helps your plant to survive in conditions with dry air , like when your heater is on .
Humidity is just as essential in this time of the year for your plant as it is for you and your health .

Some people have special bonds with their houseplants, just like Leon and Mathilda from Luc Besson’s movie. And it’s so disappointing when one day, we find our green pals taking their last breath, with their leaves helplessly shriveled and dried up. But the good news here is that you shouldn’t rush to mourn over your untimely deceased plant, as there are some ways to jump-start these poor things and make them bloom in glory again.
We at Bright Side love to hunt for tips that help our readers fix even the most desperate situations, and this time, we invite you to see how to resurrect your potted treasures.
1. Switch decorative or metal pots out for “healthier” ones.
If your plant is hardly breathing, it may be because you’ve chosen beauty over practicality and have put it into the wrong kind of pot. Your plant doesn’t really care if its “outfit” matches the pattern of your new curtains. Ultimately, they need a healthy environment to grow and bloom in. So if your plant is in a metal pot or in a nice decorative one without drainage holes, you really need to free it from this captivity. Metal planters keep heat inside and the roots of your poor plant are literally “cooking” in this “frying pan.” Ceramic pots with a single drainage hole or with no drainage holes at all will make water stay inside the soil, provoking unhealthy humidity around the roots.
2. Treat overcrowded roots manually, loosening and separating them gently.
When a plant looks like the one in the picture on the left, it’s time to repot it to give it more space. Before repotting, make sure you clean up the roots and untwist them so that they can absorb water and nutrients more efficiently. Do it carefully, like unwinding the fragile rope, in order to not break the roots and give them more space to breathe.
3. Use only filtered water on your plants.
Despite the opinion that tap water is filtered, it still has some levels of chlorine and other chemicals that may be the last bullet for your plant. Let the water sit for 24 hours before watering the plant. Distilled water or rainwater is also good for your plant, experts say, as both are slightly acidic and naturally flush away all the chemicals and salts that have already accumulated in the soil because of the previous usage of tap water. You can either collect rainwater in a reservoir or put the plants outside to soak in some moisture while it’s raining.
4. Consider organic pots for creating a more natural environment for growth.
You can try moving your plants to pots made from coconut shells. Not only is this the best organic pot that can allow good drainage and prevent the roots from rotting, but it’ll supply your plant with zinc, copper, and iron naturally. While it’s too weak for chemical fertilizers, the natural “feeding” will literally hold it in this world.
5. Trim all the “dead” parts, but leave about 2 inches of stem above the surface.
Remove all dead or unattractive pieces left on the plant. This includes shriveled yellow or brown leaves that cannot be saved or stems without leaves at all. Cut the lifeless stem at a 45-degree angle, leaving as much living foliage as possible.
6. Consider only water-soluble fertilizers and water the plant with a small amount of the mixture.
Though it may seem that fertilizer can work wonders, it’s only partially true. What really matters, however, is the amount and proper application, especially for your weak, lifeless plants. The approach of “more is better” will absolutely kill your poor plant. To fertilize it, you’ll need to prepare a mixture of 1 teaspoon of fertilizer per 1 gallon of water — this is the most universal proportion that’s not harmful to houseplants.
7. Add light-colored drainage around the plant.
8. Check the pot for hidden cages and remove them.
If your plant is still in the original pot you bought it in, it’s recommended to check the pot for any plastic cages at the bottom, as they’re damaging for the roots and can likely be the main reason why your plant is now dying. You’ll need to either remove the cages from the pot or change the pot completely.
9. Get rid of pests with delicate washing.
Use a sponge or a cotton swab dipped in soapy water or rubbing alcohol to delicately wash the pests off your plant. If you use a special soap that’s for insects and pests, you’ll need to repeat the procedure a couple of times as anti-insect soaps take effect only until they dry out.
10. Take measures to not attract bad bugs.
To keep hungry bugs off of your precious green friends, you need to say “no” to using outdoor soil. Buy a soil mixture in the supermarket, as it’s sterile and will not be contaminated with unwelcome invaders. Immediately repot your plant into the healthy soil.
Since your plant is too weak, you need to ensure good drainage as well, as this prevents the roots from rot and ensures better resistance against insect invasion.
11. Deal with fungus spots and insects by using an oil spray or anti-mosquito remedies.
Just as it is for humans, fungus can be damaging for your plants’ health. If your plant has rotting spots over its thumb or closer to its roots, it’s time to declare war against this unwelcome “guest.” You can use either professional anti-fungus granules or apply a special horticultural oil, which will not contaminate your plant with deadly chemicals, but rather, will smother insects and fungus to death.
12. Arrange stem and root baths for your plants.
After a long time spent indoors, your plants deserve a real spa-day. Dry air and non-natural ventilation in your apartment can exhaust them. To revive them, you’ll need to put them into other conditions and give them a good cleaning and soaking. Put the plants in a bathtub and thoroughly wash them under a showerhead, paying close attention to both sides of the leaves. This way, you’ll wash any remaining pests from the leaves and will allow the water to take away harmful substances that have been accumulating in the soil.
13. Use diaper filling for soil drainage.
If the roots of your plant are prone to rot, the best way to keep the humidity balance is by using hydrogel (which can be bought in gardening shops). You can also use a baby diaper that’s been torn apart — just mix the contents with water until you get a gel texture. You should add it to the soil of your plant in equal proportions and your perfect self-draining soil will be ready. With this method, you don’t have to bother with root rot anymore.
14. Use yogurt as non-aggressive fertilizer.
Lactic acid bacteria can provide good nutrition for your plants. It’s a natural disease-killer and it also helps to keep the soil in optimal condition for your plant to feel at ease. You can “feed” your plant a couple of teaspoons of yogurt, adding it to the soil in order to enrich the plant’s base with organic acids and help your green friend to restore its vigor.
15. If you have an aquarium, use its water for drop-watering.
You’ve probably noticed how fast water plants grow in your aquarium. This is all because they’re constantly “fed” by organic and natural products that come to the water as the result of the life activity of your fish. As long as your tank isn’t filled with saltwater, you can use the aquarium water to irrigate your plants and enrich their soil so that it can naturally restore their vitality. This, however, won’t work if the water in your tank is salty, so be sure to take that into consideration when you practice this type of plant therapy.
16. Use a plastic bag to create an at-home greenhouse for your plant.
You can create a miniature greenhouse for your plant by putting it together with the pot into a clean plastic bag and putting it in some mild indirect light or artificial light. Make sure to water the plant before this and let the water drain well. The plastic will let your plant absorb the water which will evaporate, and you can be sure that no matter how busy you are on certain days of the month, your plant will not dry out again. This method also helps your plant to survive in conditions with dry air, like when your heater is on. Humidity is just as essential in this time of the year for your plant as it is for you and your health.

When trying to save money, we often make some dumb purchases that seem profitable, but from a long-term perspective, they affect both our well-being and the quality of our lives. This is why sometimes it is better to pay more for a product or a service, in order to pay less in the future.
We at Bright Side decided to find out which expensive things are actually worth it. They not only last for a really long time, but they can also help you save a lot of money.
Expensive shoes
Buying cheap shoes might seem like a good idea. But in fact, they might end up costing us much more than an expensive pair. Just count all the money you spend on band-aids, foot deodorants, and other products for your feet. And if you wear quality shoes, you won’t need these products. So, you’ll end up paying less money overall. Also, quality shoes might help you avoid serious problems with your joints and your back.
Electric toothbrush
The quality of brushing your teeth depends on how much time you spend doing it. So, dentists recommend brushing teeth for at least 2 minutes, but most people only spend 46 seconds doing this. And it’s not about being lazy: it’s just that we don’t sense the time correctly. If you buy an electric toothbrush with a timer, it will tell you when it’s time to stop. Studies show that people using electric toothbrushes have less plaque on their teeth and their gums are healthier. So, they don’t go to dentists as often. If you buy an electric toothbrush, you might save a fortune on dental visits.
Basic clothes
Because so-called fast fashion is becoming more popular, we’ve gotten used to affordable trendy clothes. But we often overlook a very important detail: these clothes don’t pay off from a long-term perspective and this costs us a lot of money. It is much smarter to invest money into quality basic clothes that can be worn for a long time, no matter what the trends are right now. But this doesn’t mean you should forget about fashion. If you have a good basic wardrobe, you can spice it up with new trendy clothes every season.
Orthopedic mattress
Sleep is very important for our health and what we sleep on is a really important part of the overall experience. An orthopedic mattress can lower our stress levels, relieve muscle pain, and improve our overall health. And if you sleep on an old mattress, it can give you a range of different illnesses: from joint pain to obesity.
Crockpot
A crockpot is a great choice for people that love healthy foods, but don’t have enough free time to cook. Nowadays, there are modern models that can be remotely controlled. Basically, the device can cook food when you are far away from home. All you need to do it put all the ingredients into the pot, set the right mode, and watch the process through an app. And when you come home, a healthy dinner will be waiting for you. It’ll save you so much time and money! Also, crockpots are less energy-consuming than stoves or ovens.
Water bottle with a filter
Today, a lot of people have reusable water bottles, but we are talking about the ones that have filters in them. If you have this device, you can enjoy pure, clean water the whole day and not spend a penny on it. Also, you’re not harming the environment. However, when you buy this bottle, make sure you get the right filter. Some bottles only filter tap water, but others can even filter non-potable water which is a great idea for travelers.
Leather belt
A good leather belt may cost several times more than faux leather models, but it will also last for much longer. So, a leather belt is a great investment.
Laptop stand
We all love watching TV series while lying in bed. Some people even work this way. There is nothing wrong with it, but the constant overheating (because of the lack of ventilation) may end up breaking your laptop. And if you have a laptop stand, you can enjoy interesting content in bed and not worry about any damage to your device.
Expensive haircut
One of the reasons why split ends appear because stylists cut hair with blunt scissors. Expensive beauty salons almost never skimp on their tools and materials and the chances of seeing an unprofessional hairdresser that doesn’t care about their clients is slim to none. So, if you don’t want to pay twice and have to visit your hairdresser every few weeks, never be cheap when it comes to your hair.
High-quality underwear
Of course, it is better to have underwear for any occasion, but if your budget is limited, we recommend that you buy the most basic models. Comfortable underwear, made of natural fabrics, will be used longer and will be easy to combine with any piece of clothing.
Vacuum sealer
This amazing thing is something all of us should have at home. Just think about how much food we throw away every day. And if you have one of these, you can extend the shelf life of your favorite foods and save a lot of money. Also, a vacuum sealer prevents the mix of smells and is the best thing to use to store spices, herbs, and tea.
Laser hair removal
Nowadays, there are so many different ways to remove hair, but most women still prefer wax. Yes, one procedure costs far less, but you have to do it really often. The more expensive laser hair removal will remove unwanted hair after only a few sessions (depending on the hair type). Obviously, it is much cheaper in the long run. Also, it is almost completely pain-free, and, according to experts, it improves the health of your skin and removes any ingrown hair.

Devaluing someone means breaking their personal boundaries. Sometimes it’s better to keep silent rather than say certain things to people, even though they might seem harmless and even encouraging. Phrases like, “What are you reading?” or “Still the same thing?” or “It’s about time you shifted to scientific literature!” might seem innocent, but can cause a feeling of irritation to grow inside someone. Because by saying this, the opponent downgrades the interests of their interlocutor and even offers to replace them with their own ideas.
Bright Side collected the most widespread phrases that make communication awkward. Of course, people are free to express their thoughts and feelings the way they want to, but still, being a bit more attentive to people you speak to is definitely something worth considering.
“You should’ve thought about that before.”
There are many things we can’t foresee in life. It’s impossible to know in advance whether you might stop liking the specialization you’ve chosen or if your significant other will start behaving differently than they used to. Everyone makes mistakes. So why not show more patience to people and relate to different situations with a pinch of humor?
“Of course, my kid will share their toys.”
Imagine your adult relatives taking your favorite bag or long-awaited car and giving it to another person while saying, “She is not stingy. Of course, she’ll share it!” Wouldn’t you feel angry? Now try to imagine how a little kid, who can’t control their emotions, feels. By the age of 3, kids start to feel that they are holistic personalities, which is why it’s necessary to ask their permission when playing with their toys. And if the kid says, “no,” they mean “no.” It’s in childhood that a person learns to protect their interests and borders properly.
“He’s not Brad Pitt, but whatever.”
The other version is, “She’s no Angelina Jolie, but she’s really nice.” When others criticize people’s appearance, it’s too much.

This is because attacks like these are better off being nipped in the bud and stopped from the very start.
“What kind of nonsense are you watching again?”
So you can’t wait to watch that freshly-released horror movie or another season of your favorite TV series. You finally get the chance and get yourself cozy on the couch when one of your family members suddenly says in the middle of the movie, “Ah, you’re watching this silly stuff again!” Yes, we all have different tastes, but it’s not okay to devalue other people’s interests. An adult is free to watch whatever they want. If you have teenagers or kids at home, it’s good to have family evenings where you watch interesting programs or family movies together.
“You’d look better if ...”
These phrases can be mistakenly taken for a harmless joke or constructive criticism, but that’s where the danger hides. This is neither a joke, nor is it constructive criticism — it’s a humiliating thing to say. After hearing a few of these phrases, the listener can easily develop issues with their self-esteem. It’s important to learn to notice these comments and react to them correctly.
“We raised you without diapers somehow.”
It’s a good thing that most of modern society recognizes the fact that postpartum depression exists. But recognizing it doesn’t mean understanding it and showing compassion. Here is a short list of what a tired woman might hear, “What did you expect after all?” or “Why are you tired? You are at home all day long.” or “Is your kid still wearing diapers?” Sometimes a request for help to wash a pile of baby clothes and remove all the stains at home, after the baby spends the entire day without diapers, has a sobering effect on these “well-wishers.”
“How do you manage to live in such a small apartment?”

Siân-Amy Pettit, from Columbus, Ohio in the US, is a self-taught baker who never stops learning and experimenting. One of the new techniques that Siân-Amy is implementing on her amazing cakes is dotting, or pointillism, as the artist calls it. The cakes decorated in this way remind us of beads or little crystals, and their texture looks so exotic that it’s hard to fight the temptation to stroke them with our fingers.
