My mate Stef and I were blessed with having Polish mothers who are very different to English mothers ..ours were very over protective and always wanted us to marry good Polish lads..that wasn't really too much of a problem as we went to the local Polish Saturday school and to the Polish club so we could meet said Polish lads...trouble was there was only 2 I really liked, both liked me back but it didn't happen but both could get away with more as they were Polish with our mums....likewise whenever I went on my hols to Poland, my mum was always trying to get me married off, I had some flings but nothing serious developed although one wanted to marry me! Anyweay, we both ended up marrying English blokes, but at least we both got married in the local Polish church! Anyone got any similar stories or did your mums get you together?

Polish mothers overdress their children - that's why many Poles (especially men) catch chills so easily.

What a load of tosh.

Poland is a much colder country (in winter anyway) than England (assume you are English??) so good dress sense is important. I never felt overdressed a child.

In this country (England) when I see little boys and girls in January in ankle socks and no coats, hats it makes me shiver.

My (Polish) mum was not overprotective just sensible, if anything my dad was the more overprotective one.

The coldness argument seems to be a winner, that is until you start talking to people from cold parts of North America.

and if you exposed your hands and face to the cooler weather dont you notice a dry
ness over your skin that burns ? we do it because we care, its so much easier
to shed clothes off if you get to hot then it is to add when all your attire is at home
and your freezing.


no its the children of polish mothers who dont want to listen, my daughter wanted
to go outside with just a small jacket and the temp was going to be cooler that was
not enough, especially for a child with a surpressed immune system as it is.

the best thing about Polish mothers is that they can cook - really well and not just Polish dishes but anything: Indian, Chinese, English, Italian. You name it - she can do it and it is DELICIOUS.

I hope future wives and mothers are reading this and paying attention - cooking is a very desirable and much understated these days skill in a woman.

a true observer and you know we like to make sure you have full bellies.

My mom could whip up some really scrumptous food and my dad was her follower
she would have to shoo him out the kitchen cause he was the kid saying whens
dinner done ??

That is a piece of BS. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS "dress for the weather". I have not had a cold for at least 15-20 years, whereas my coworkers get a 2-3 a year. It does make me shiver to see people walking in shorts and t-shirts here in Chicago at 40F. It's plain stupid. Your body has to work very hard to keep your temperature and your immune system working. If you underdress, your body is too busy to keep your temperature at the right level and it makes your immune system weak. The result - you come across a virus and it invades your weakened body. Voila. You "catch" a cold. If you were dressed right, your immune system will "kill" the invader. It does not 'waste' the energy to keep your body warm. The result - no cold.
And, don't forget to wash your hands. It works!
This is an advise from my Mum.

Dam Girl, some sound advice, this is why my daughter has to dress for the weather
she has no choice, but in truth you are correct, your body works harder to stay
warmer, some doctor told me I was full of crap, I said why because I dont carry
a badge that says MD on it? who are you to tell me I am wrong when I live with it
and you only study it. Ive got hands on training buddy!

all very sound advice !!

See, Patrycja, a lot of doctors (MD) don't want to tell you this. After all, the drug companies need to make a living and keep people working. I just don't want to contribute to this "good' cause myself
They usually say, "you not catching a cold because you're underdressed/overdressed, you got it because your body came in contact with a virus". They just fail to add that our bodies come across viruses/bacteria EVERY living moment of our lives. It is our immune system which needs our help to help it to fend them OFF. Long live T-cells! The soldiers in our bodies.

oh Yeah!

I am with you. my older daughter has to get her tonsils out, her immune system is
holding the bacteria and viruses in and therefore not working properly
so I asked her doctor, who got very angry with me and said, I think she needs a
specialists ear nose throat, so we can take care of the real problem which is her
tonsils. he was pretty rude, but you all know me, ha, I got the referrel. so we
went to the specialists, whom happens to be a Her, who is very intelligent and told
me right off the bat that she needs them out, they are supressing her immune system and this can become worse as she is older, not to mention her tonsils have pockets
which is why she is holding in the bacteria rather then the antibiotics helping because the abxs are just passing past the pockets and not getting rid of the culprit.

that other dr just wanted to nickel and dime me, but she is 14 and in 9th grade and
her attendance is important, especially now, I stressed this to her doctor whom was
still wanting to bombard her with abx's. needless to say, He lost, I won, she will now be on a road to wellness.

Polish people feed anyone that enters there home. This is a common practice in polish families. We are good people.

I know my Friends loved coming to my house, my mom spoiled them all.

course, my dad didnt like it, maybe the men are different then the women
or maybe he was just brought up differntly, but he would blow a head gasket
if he was home, most of the time she would do it when he was out doing something.

he'd say, I'm not feeding the whole G** dam Neighborhood.
But my grandmother was the same way, and his mother too my other grandmother
but I heard my grandfather would chase all the kids out, so its probably a male
temperment thing?

moms feed /dads Yell. lol

Yep, my mum loves entertaining, she'll bake cakes even if no-one is due to visit, just in case! and when she used to entertain big style, she'd squeeze as many people as possible around the table so you had to eat with your elbows tucked well in...and the food was literally crammed into every available space, you couldn't see the tablecloth..... she is still ever so slightly eccentric!

Polish mother in laws....heavy duty.

When ever I see my mother in law, she's cool. But always looks at me with an expression of, "you've shagged my daughter.....when are you getting married."
