The document is a collection of short stories and anecdotes about parenting and family life. It discusses a new mother struggling with an over-involved grandmother, choosing a car that can accommodate a baby, delivering the "wrong" package to a tired new mother, superstitions about amber necklaces helping with teething children or difficult in-laws, a father feeling tense as the only man among discussing mothers, planning a child-friendly birthday party, and comparing life to randomness like casinos versus having control like playlists.

Moments in life of generation F

2. Sometimes, during my pregnancy, I thought my mother was more
pregnant than I was...or at least she would have liked to be. It’s a
very big deal to become a grand mother and grand father. And it’s
surely a very big deal to be the dog of a couple getting a baby.
Still, it would be fair to give the main role, at least after a while,
those whose life changes most.

3. “Sorry, to interrupt you, but you should not forget the great
advantage. Smart is automatic. With a baby, an automatic gear is
just perfect!”
“There are also other cars with automatic gear.”
“Yes, but the technology for automatic gear by Smart is by far the
most...”
“Are you telling me that only because of the automatic technology I
will drive a car for 2 persons with my child on the front seat and my
husband will run after me?”
“I said you’ll use the car only when you’re alone.”
“Why should I use a car that has no space for the push-chair?
Should I put it on the roof, open the window and hold it? I mean, I
have an automatic gear, I have one hand free, you’re right...”
“Oh, no, you can put the push-chair on the back, there’s so much
space!” “Are you drinking?! Where do you want to put our push-
chair?”
“I tried it, it fits. No problem!”
“How does it fit? Did you take it into pieces?”
“No, you’re joking. You only have to take the 2 wheels down and the
handle must be in the right position. If you find the right way, you
can close the back door. Really, no problem!”

4. It is hard and unfair, nobody can deny it. The car industry finally
develops a product with which the pure joy of having a great and
cool toy for reasonable price can be felt again by grown up boys and
then, at once, they should sell it.

5. In pajama she opens the door and a guy is standing there with a
package. She is still sleeping and looks at him: “Yes?”
“I have something for the woman with the nicest pajama in
Vienna,” the guy laughs.
She looks at herself. Have you ever seen in the morning a
woman who is breastfeeding after an exhausting night? It really is
worth a caution sign on the door.
“If you give me your autograph I bring you also the other
package.”
“How many do you have?” she asks not really awaken.
“Today two, but tomorrow maybe I can bring you another one.”
The guy laughs and has nice white teethes. He really is nice. 20
years too old, but nice.

6. There are beliefs about black cats and spitting. Then there are
others, with which we believe that state will fight for our rights
though we always wait for the next tram. Finally, there are also
beliefs, which brings as to believe that an amber necklet can help
to survive the time with teething kids or...maybe, if you spit twice,
even with mothers-in-law staying at our place for a longer time.
Where have you said is the amber necklet to buy?

7. Also the only men in this women club is laughing. But he seems
to be a little bit tense. Being part of this might be a honour, but he
never knows when he has to represent and defend all men of this
world in front of this wild discussing mothers.
“Ladies, I have to ask you something. How often do you leave
your kid sleeping with you in bed?” Živa asks.
“Always.”
“I try to give her in her bed and keep her there.”
“I can’t sleep good, if he sticks at me also during the night.”
“And can you relax or do something, if the baby is laying...ok in
his bed, but still beside you, in the same room?” Živa tries to get
more information.
“Do you mean sex?” Christina asks directly.
“Yes.”
His heart beating is getting faster. It is one of the moments he
dreamt of as a young guy, to hear women talking about it. Not just
some women, but women he knows.

8. One of dadies wants to celebrate his birthday. After a
consideration about whome to invite, the conclusion was that only
friends with kids of the same age are the most conviniant option.
The plan is to meet at 8 p.m. and make all babies fall asleep.

9. What has life in common with casino machines, lottery drum or
MP3 players? Randomness. Scientists, mathematicians and
other experts develop logarithms that enable devices have this
ability. What is the good thing about iPod? That one can switch
the shuffle function off and decide on his or her own which song
will play next.
