"My son's name is Timothy, he is two years old," Lykova introduced her boy to Bored Panda. "He is very humble with strangers, but a real boss with relatives, especially his mother."The artist said that her life has changed a lot since she brought Timothy into this world. And only for the better.
"After his birth, there was a strong reappraisal of values, during which I found my destiny. Also, I realized that before Timothy, I had a lot of free time and opportunities that I did not appreciate."
Knows abc's, all the presidents and higher order calculus, but you're the only one she does it in front of
However, the 29-year-old agreed that motherhood has its challenges. "I have very little time that I can devote to myself and my personal development in other areas, of course, there's also a greater financial constraint." But all of these things are mere nuances. Her boy means the world to Lykova and she's thankful for every second that she gets to spend with him.
when we were growing up, we got into the sticker craze and sticks to any surface we could reach. didn't understand why my mom was upset seeing our "works". but now I see my nephews doing the same in my brother's house, I finally understand. sorry mom.
Exactly. I can remember thinking they looked cool, but now I see them as sticky pieces of vandalism.

My daughter decided that a brand new roll of snail mail stamps would look great all over the house.
When my son was a toddler he got into stickers. They'd pop up on the tv, microwave, stove, counters, edges of tables and chairs. I'm still finding dried adhesive in places.
Yeah, those were not allowed in our house when the kids were little.
My parents solved the sticker problem with sticker books and big sheets of paper.
My one is in a stubborn stage. He put he's shoes wrong, but he swears this is the only way. I'm in a frustrated stage. The other one want to do all by himself alone without help. So we get up at 7 for him to be ready by 11.

No one really talked about the hair loss after childbirth so when I was losing big clumps of hair I freaked out. It is completely normal.
So true! I scared a few ppl when I stood in queues in late stage pregnancy XD I'd turn to the side and inevitably hear a 'whoah'
Children in tantrums can be overwhelming. Go to another room and get some distance before you lose your temper.
Several hours! more like 2 years lol. Well for me anyway.
I play with the kid, run around, clean the house and work a freaking lot and I'm still fatter than before pregnancy.

My two year old 'fed' his dinosaur coco pops this morning and brought it upstairs to me. He's a very caring child when he's not licking the trees in the garden
Kids are wondeful - but there are a lot of reasons we have birth control.
Whenever my son gets a new toy he treats it like a living thing. The most recent was a little stuffed chicken, Chicka (clever right) needed to have a small bowl filled with cereal during meals.
