I myself am a young mother. For example, in some of these books, an article titled “How to Make Routine Tasks More Enjoyable” really made me laugh—it suggested imagining that you would die of cancer the next day and that it would be your last day. The authors assumed that a mother overwhelmed by childcare would be overjoyed and eagerly spend every remaining minute, even finding pleasure in tasks like changing diapers. I didn’t resort to that method, because I was genuinely afraid that doing so might make me act so differently that I would leave my child with my grandmother, steal my husband’s credit card, and go to a male strip club just so I would have something memorable to remember in my “next life.”
These so-called “smart” books weren’t any better than magazines: they advised calling the emergency services if a baby vomited, scared parents with a list of only three dishes available for children (including steamed dumplings), and suggested finding comfort in the endless responsibilities of parenting.
In the instructive chapter about sex after childbirth (which was supposed to be gentle and quiet), I burst into laughter, closed the magazine, and sat down to write a plan to prepare other young mothers for the harsh reality of motherhood.

On Image
The slender, beautifully made-up women depicted in magazines, who seem to radiate maternal love and effortlessly hold squirming baby dolls, are no examples at all for you to follow! A real mother is like a zombie—with wild eyes and stiff legs, struggling to push a wobbling stroller through the park while her baby cries nonstop. At home, she might wear a raggy bathrobe, have untidy hair, eat leftovers of porridge, sausages, and dumplings, and be ready to kill her husband if he’s just two minutes late from work—something she silently loathes, sometimes even loudly. Especially when he rushes straight to play video games as soon as he walks in the door and completely ignores her… Yes, such things really happen!
Just accept it. Everyone goes through this, but almost no one admits it. Buy yourself a few stylish bathrobes in advance and change them every day at least—just to add some variety.

On Sex
There is no sex after childbirth! Well, maybe only crazy women would find any sort of sexual activity desirable—even something as simple as a baby bottle with a nipple could trigger inappropriate thoughts. Normal mothers are too exhausted at night to even consider such things. So it’s better to prepare your husband in advance for this “sad reality”—or, even better, dump some of the childcare responsibilities on him, and then maybe he’ll feel like having sex too.

On Mutual Understanding
If your baby is crying and you can’t calm him down and you’re just losing patience, don’t hesitate—cry with him. I guarantee that after two minutes of genuine tears, your baby will start smiling, or even laughing heartily. Babies love watching adults cry; they’d be happy watching it for hours.

On Competitiveness
Don’t let other mothers in the park talk you into feeling inferior by boasting about their children’s “successes.” Every mother wants to brag about her baby, so—go ahead and brag too!

Key Points to Remember
Phrases like “Our baby’s teeth came in so fast I didn’t even notice!” should actually be interpreted as “Apart from the high fever, tantrums, constant desire to chew on everything, and night-time fits every 40 minutes…”
“My baby has been sleeping in his own crib since birth!” means “Yes, but I have to get up five times a night to rock him to sleep, and at four in the morning, I give up and take him to my bed.”
“Breastfeeding is so easy and pleasant!” actually means “Unless you count three cases of mastitis, soaked nursing clothes, a strict diet, teeth that hurt when they touch your breasts, and the fact that you can’t leave home for more than two hours at a time…”
“I only hold my baby in my arms when it’s absolutely necessary!” means “Only five or six hours a day.”
“He can already talk so well!” actually means “I can barely distinguish ‘gy’, ‘ly?’, and ‘vyga’ from his incoherent sounds… If only I knew what they meant…”
“My husband enjoys taking care of our baby for long periods of time!” means “Yesterday, he held the baby under his arm while playing a shooting game on the computer for 15 minutes…”
“I get everything done!” actually means “My house looks like a mess…”

On Healthy Diet
The top five most popular foods among young mothers are actually harmful, unappetizing, and quick to prepare: 1. Dumplings; 2. Pasta; 3. Crab sticks; 4. Bread; 5. Salads made with dumplings, pasta, crab sticks, and bread.

On Everyday Challenges
By the time your baby turns one year old, the phrase “Did you fall headfirst off a stove when you were a child?” will take on a completely different meaning—for by that age, there won’t be any furniture left in your apartment that your baby wouldn’t have fallen off… You’ll get to experience the wisdom of sayings like “Whatever makes the baby stop crying is fine” (which, in modern terms, means “Just take my $200 phone back, but please stop complaining”) and “If it’s not diarrhea, it must be chickenpox” (I’ll leave that one without comment…).
