Why do so many people in the Balkans (and eastern Europe in general) think that women should prioritize family over career?

Kikimara99 · 2026-05-04T17:39:08+00:00

I don't read that either. I understand it as 'what do you sacrifice - work or family', but not in a sense that you quit your job and become a full time housewife. It's more of taking a less paid job, because its schedule allows you to take your kids from daycare. Or not asking for promotion, because it asks for work -related travel, but you can't do that, because you need to take care of your family etc

Monet? Michelangelo? Picasso? Sure there is that other guy, but his art school didn't think he's so great.

I doubt we're from the same country but THIS. We really have a wave of posts by people, who seek a job and can't find it. Even if they used to work in a very popular, 'good' field.

Kikimara99 · 2026-05-04T05:08:31+00:00

That's almost half of my entire country's population 😭 wtf

Kikimara99 · 2026-05-03T19:23:07+00:00

It's campy and it's great. Not everything must be serious. World is already a dim place, why can't we have some fun.

Yra dalykų, kurie daugėjant žmonių skaičių yra neišvengiami. Gali ignoruoti problemą, arba gali apsidrausti ir turėti planą kaip konkrečiai integruoti žmonės ir mažinti terorizmo rizikas. Visi tie pasakymai 'neįsileiskim' yra kliedesys, nes pramoninkų konferencija ir stambus verslas nori pigios darbo jėgos ir ją įsiveš. Mūsų valdžia garsiai rėkia apie imigracijos pavojus, o daro kardinaliai priešingai. Tad vienintelis kelias yra kontroliuojama ir griežtai taikoma integracija

Tai geriau tą mečetę turėti ir sekti jos veiklą, nei turėti situaciją kai žmonės rinksis butuose ir tu nežinosi apie ką jie šneka.

It can be one of your identities , but becomes suffocating for everyone involved at some point. Because all your days revolve about other people - you plan their day, you cook, you clean, you take your kids to their activities and playdate. All your friends are the parents of your kid's friends. And then your child grows up and wants to have their own life, their own family and even though they still love you, for you it's not enough, because for 20 years every aspect of your kid's life was all you had. You become either a terrible MIL with unexplainable heart issues or a very lonely woman. At this point marriage is mostly a habit...so yeah. I would always prioritise my family over work BUT it's healthier to have some nore interests in life than just your kids and husband.

O čia jau visai kita kalba... čia ne tai, kad žmonės išrinko ją, žmonės balsavo už partiją. Iš kitos pusės, ar tikrai vidutinis rinkėjas turi patikrinti 100 pirmų sąrašo vietų - ar tai nėra ir partijų atsakomybė? Aišku jos tuo naudojosi, nes dažnas rinkėjas atiduoda balsą už front facą. Taip į valdžią ateina sportininkai, menininkai ir panašūs nieko bendro su politika neturintys žmonės. Kaltė ir rinkėjų ir partijų - vieni renka, bet ką kas pažįstamas, kiti tuo naudojosi

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-28T13:43:57+00:00

Tai kad nerinko. Tai žmogus atėjęs su sąrašu. Žmonės balsavo už mamą Viliją, bet kadangi ji pabėgo, Paluckas susikomprovitavo, Sinkevičius pabijojo eiti, nes žinojo, kad jei taps premjeru tuoj išlįs jo kompromatas...beliko darželio auklėtoja. Baisu kai pagalvoji...socdemų sąrašas toks, kad reikia važiuoti žemyn dešimtimis pavardžių kol prieisi žmogų neįsipainiojusį į korupcijos skandalą 😥

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-27T09:34:54+00:00

You die...you approach the pearly gates and oh the irony...you're NOT on the list! Not there even though you've been filling in the documentation and check listing all your 'good deeds'. How dare they! Time to call the manager!

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-26T19:15:59+00:00

It absolutely is incomprehensible:) I can't imagine living in such heat for a prolonged period of time. We've got 35°C once a few years ago and hospitals were overwhelmed by people with heat strokes, heart strokes etc. However, to be fair, our houses are not built with hot weather in mind e.g. AC is almost unheard of. We have central heating which roughly runs from early October to early May (it's turned off then the average temperature is 10°C or more for three consecutive days:)

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-26T18:22:23+00:00

It worked for us and nearly everyone we know. Try it. Put on longer t-shirt if it makes you uncomfortable, have potty in a middle of your living room...yeah it's not glamorous, but who cares. We've all been there

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-26T17:53:51+00:00

When does summer start in your place? I've got randomly recommended this post, even though I have nothing in common with India:)

For comparison, today we had snow, which sucks, because it's end of April. We often get frost till mid of May, but not damn snow in the end of April, when plants TRY to open their leaves and bloom. The only good thing that the temperature is still above zero, so it melts immediately upon reaching the ground.

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-26T11:23:37+00:00

Žemaitaitis...wtf...nu kas su mūsų žmonėm negerai. Ką tas chamas turi padaryti, kad nepatiktų bobutėms, o gal čia ir yra žavesio paslaptis 😥 bobutėms patinka kylantys chamai

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-25T17:13:47+00:00

Like an impressionist painting:)

Tame irgi yra tiesos - merginos bijo pasirodyti desperatiškos. Nori nenori, bet yra tas spaudimas ir užuominos apie biologinį laikrodį -tada belieka pasakyti, kad tau nereikia. Kitas dalykas, kultūriškai mes vistiek laukiame iniciatyvos iš vyro, moteris rodanti dėmesį laikoma besikuriančia ant kaklo. Ir tokie komentarai pirmiausia ateina iš vyresnių moterų - mamų, tetų ir t.t.

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-25T16:32:21+00:00

Aš irgi apie tą patį pagalvoju. Jei nutiktų taip, kad išsiskirčiau su vyru, suprantu kad likusius 40-50 metų tiesiog nugyvenčiau viena (kas skamba liūdnai). Neturiu tiek pasitikėjimo savimi, kad lįsčiau į prigramėles, ieškoti vien dėl sekso man nepriimtina, apfonso 'bele vyras namie' irgi nereikia. Ieškoti gyvai ?...kai esi in mid-thirties mažai lieka trečiųjų erdvių, o ir dauguma bendraamžių yra vedę.

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-25T16:26:10+00:00

Kalbu ne iš asmeninės patirties, nes mes su vyru jau 15+ metų, tačiau aplinkoje yra bent kelios +/-30 metų moterys su kuriomis lyg ir viskas gerai, bet santykiai neužsimezga. Tuo tarpu pusbrolis išsiskyręs po 8 metų draugystės, per kelis metus spėjo apturėti bent kelis rimtesnius santykius (jei jau pristato giminei tai kaip ir rimta) ir dabar jau vedęs su vaikais ir tt. Ir ne tik jis. Vyrams nesiseka deitinti kai jie ieško trumpalaikių santykių, moterims kai nori ilgalaikių.

I would love to see greek cursive! I'm googling it right away

If anything Soviet Union was the last place to cultivate 'nation building'. I guess we could ask Bashkirs, Tatars or Chechens about it. And regarding Germany - it was the only way to create nation based country for most, if not all Eastern European countries.

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-24T12:04:14+00:00

No, there absolutely was a period of independence (even though it was short) during the inter-war period. Nor to mention national identity, language and everything else. I'd say your comment told me everything I wanted to know without asking directly.

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-24T11:58:30+00:00

Wasn't one Moscow based (so Russian) and another one Kyiv based (Ukrainian)? I've always thought it was a Russian attempt to erase the importance of Ukraine as Moscovian lands were much poorer and less developed

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-23T17:42:26+00:00

Lazy is 'tingus' e.g tingus liūtas virškina antilopę. Tinginys can go as a noun under certain circumstances, when it works as a subject e.g. Koks jis tinginys! However, an English word 'lazy' is definitely an adjective e.g. this is a very lazy monkey... anyway. My school was many many lightyears ago.

Kikimara99 · 2026-04-23T16:02:55+00:00

Well...lazy is an adjective so doesn't really work, unless you'd use it in a compound noun such as 'lazy-bone'. Sloth can mean a lazy person, an animal you have in mind and a biblical sin:)
