There are very few topics that husband and I cant agree on. Actually, there are only two when I think about it that closely. My husband is a physicist and believes in all that is proven and I also believe that there is something more than just the proven theory of the origin of man. But I dont want

Evil tongues sometimes claim that getting married is outdated is. But we dont think so! Indeed, far fewer people are getting married than in the past. On the other hand, many more people opt for a registered partnership. And thats just as much an official commitment, isnt it? Which sounds a bit bori

Divorce with children can often have a lot of impact, not only on yourself as a parent, but certainly also for the child involved. How do they actually experience a divorce? Divorce is usually painful. Especially when children are involved. Now in my case they are still very young, and although di

Sometimes you do. Such a feeling that your heart is overflowing with love. That it nearly fell apart. Every parent recognizes that feeling of love for their child. This feeling started with me during my pregnancies, but after the horror that is called childbirth, this love for my children only incre

The village quiz. Who doesnt know it! This is now a well-known phenomenon, especially in Brabant, where hundreds of villages participate. There is one in almost every community. Likewise in our beautiful village. An enthusiastic group of volunteers joined forces a few years ago and started to put to

All together at a nicely set table, the Christmas tree is shining beautifully, a nice fire is burning in the fireplace and in the background we hear sky radio playing Christmas songs. There are presents under the tree and everyone has put on their best clothes. While enjoying a glass of wine, we toa

And so the Christmas tradition changes and I take over my fathers duties on Christmas Eve… I sit in a chair directly opposite my father. I think hes having a good day because his eyes are pretty clear. We chat a bit, my mother and I. Grandpa, Little Man yells in between, I want to eat a cake with

Its over again:the final of Expedition Robinson. Do you have to watch it again? Dont worry, this wont be a retrospective. No spoiler hazard. This is going to be a call to all mothers. And one that reads:join Expedition Robinson yourself! Did you find the final a bit tame this year? The atmosphere in

Children are not puppies. You cannot train them. Well educate. According to the Taskforce Child Abuse and Sexual Abuse, parents must follow a mandatory parenting course. This would reduce the high number of child abuse in the Netherlands. The words mandatory and parenting course make me itching spon

For real! I have so much respect for you taking this step. You know, its just that much harder for moms to find a new guy. You saddle them right up with someone elses child. Most people prefer to run away from that, of course, I was told when my daughter and I moved in with my parents. I was just si

How do you keep an eye out for each other? Soon, when we have a child, well just keep doing our thing. Our child just has to go along with it. Thats possible., we thought 😉 . You too? We have now completely turned to the other extreme. We adapt our lives almost completely to our children. And what

YAAAAAAAAAAAA! I want to wish you all a happy new year. Of course I want that, because thats what I want you to too! Not just as a reader of MamsatWork, but simply as a person. But should that Happy New Year do you wish for weeks afterwards? What do you think? Tradition or obligation, wishing Happy

You become an aunt automatically, you dont have to do anything for that. The big question is:what type of aunt are you? The aunt where everything is allowed? The tough aunt? Or maybe the aunt who doesnt care at all? We have listed 8 types of aunts for you. Read them through and take them with a grai

It is clear that men and women differ from each other. It is not for nothing that it is the basis of the book Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, but that the differences are also very recognizable for everyone, I find that funny. Although it is also true that despite the recognizable differenc

Of course I liked that my daughters came to visit at the hospital. Would they also be allowed to come outside visiting hours, because they were late and terribly busy? Fortunately, the nurse agreed that I would sit in the corridor so as not to get crooked faces in the other patients. Table of cont

Crafting for Valentines Day… some think its fantastic, others dont like it. The fact remains that - without spending too much money - you can craft the most original gifts yourself for Valentines Day. Being creative isnt quite my thing, but if Im in a good mood, Im going to craft the ideas below (or

Valentines Day is also increasingly celebrated in the Netherlands. How about you? Do you surprise your partner on The Day of Love † Or do you think it is no longer a surprise at all? Then you may not be approaching it original enough. Do you always come with a bunch of flowers on Valentines Day? The

If only we lived in the Middle Ages. Back then, being single still meant wearing your best dress, getting in that carriage and off to the ball. Okay, maybe thats a little too Cinderella-esque. But I think the dating scene didnt get any more magical. Glass slippers have been exchanged for glass scree

What have you brought home now? Thats what I heard yesterday. And it was about me. With a chuckle I continued to shovel shit. I had sensed a comment like that coming during my charm offensive. Ill tell you why. Yesterday I started my contribution to society for the first time 😉 . Ive been dubious

Asking readers on Facebook whether they are annoyed by a partner or roommate and what about it is of course a bit risky. The partner or roommate in question could read this, of course. Yet the response has been overwhelming. There are quite a few people who are annoyed by their partner. The questio
