Children in Egypt are a universal object of adoration, regardless of age and gender. Wherever you go with your child, you will be welcome everywhere. If a child has a tantrum, the Egyptians will smile, try to help calm the baby and will never reproach, regardless of whether you are in a restaurant, in a park or in transport.
Some expats perceive such displays of love as a violation of personal boundaries, but most mothers here feel free and confident wherever they go with their children. True, sometimes they relax too much and do not stop the child, even when he goes too far.
If you ask me what they are, Egyptian mothers, I will say that they are relaxed. They are not afraid of children's tantrums, they do not run to the hospital with any sneeze, they do not study kilometers of literature, relying on their own instinct. By the way, here from an early age they feed children with chips and drink Coca-Cola, which is a little scary.
But, despite this, I am impressed by the ability of Egyptian mothers to let go of the situation, their calmness and self-confidence. And that's exactly what I want to learn.
