Once again, thank you to @filipmowipopolsku for co-hosting with me this episode. We had lots of fun! Enjoy!

[@elizakowalska2584]

Zawsze wielką przyjemnością jest dla mnie wysłuchanie waszych przemyśleń na temat naszej kultury. Ciekawy czas spędzony z kawą i waszymi żartami. Dzięki i proszę o dalsze takie materiały. Pozdrawiam

[@Immigrantwriter]

this should be interesting... love how dressed up you are :D

[@Immigrantwriter]

@Filip mówi po polsku I know he is not normal 😂

[@alealealeksandra1321]

I was wondering if it was just from the waist up 😁

[@juliam.8147]

Hahaha I can't agree more😂 my polish mum made ME always put on a pullover when SHE was cold and still takes big pride that I only ate 3 "prepacked"/not homecooked meals as a toodler. Growing up in Germany showed me the contrast that polish mums just expct you to always put your family first and plan your personal life accordingly, otherwise they might make you feel guilty for not making enough effort. You have to help out of a place of responsibility and the knowledge, that familys well being comes first. The germans way of parenting is a lot clearer and involves way less guilt, for example through agreements like "I pick you up from the parties at night whenever you want and for that you will help me around the house whenever I want"👏🏽

[@GdzieJestNemo]

connected to the last point of "parenting adult children" it goes the other way as well - kids are expected to look after their parents later on. Another thing which might not apply to all families - there's a concept of "it stays in the family" in relation to money, which in some way means that budgets of siblings/parents are in some way connected.

[@xdlol59]

This!!!

[@keithdube4895]

Thank you so much for the great video and insights, my partner is Polish and I'm Zimbabwean, we expecting a baby girl next month. I think this video is getting me ready for what is to come 🤣🤣🤣

[@tomkot01]

Jak was dobrze ,kurna rozumiem. W kulturze słowiańskiej matriarchat zawsze równał do patriarchatu . Kultura rzymska to zakłóciła , ale to zostało w naturze słowian. Pozdrawiam - dobre video.

[@Craphithefan]

I agree with all these stories. In my daughter's school when she was in 2nd grade, there were some mean girls bullying my child and other children too, thus, as soon as I heard that children in Catholic school are getting bullied, I knew I had to step in and take over which I did 🥺. Thank goodness, the classroom teacher was actually also a Polish lady, which is not so obvious in LA area as oppose to Illinois or Michigan, so she came up to me and told me that parents aren't allowed to talk/confront/discipline other children and if there is any issue, I should report it to her which is fine, since I wouldn't want it either to have other parents teaching my child how to behave or not. At that time however, I think my emotions took over, for I can't stand bullies and I think it's my job to protect my child to the best of my ability. I always told my daughter, who is now 13, that being 18 years old means nothing to me! 😅I can't just stop being a parent, and I don't mean being an enabler-parent (!) at all, only because she will get her government id. Being a parent is a lifelong duty and commitment that I don't take lightly! And it has nothing to do with being a helicopter parent 🙄. It's parental love that will never go away.

[@pamlacooper3288]

It is a woman’s job to run her household. I grew up understanding that my home and family reflect me. I think both your wives would say the same. Keep up the good work!

[@MrWrgh]

Guys you are doing great job... very interesting observations... one thing is sure Polish lifestyle could base for a book ... write one ... i think it would be very interesting . I'm waiting for " My Polish story" by Vigo and Philip.

[@Michal-gg3qz]

Jestem pewna, że nie raz Wasze dzieci wzruszone będą śpiewać Wam piosenkę "Cudownych rodziców mam"🥰. Bardzo miło was się ogląda. Pozdrawiam 🙂

[@olgazakrzewska4204]

You both look grat

[@mrghostly1118]

This is very entertaining. I'm 17, and very interested how Americans see poland. So it's very interesting

[@marlenagilbert9488]

americans should see Poland as much more better then you are

[@JM-wj3pp]

You should make a clip about :10 reasons why I love my wife and why it's gerat that she's polish. 😎 100 000 wievs guarantied!😁

[@kamilion100]

Nice conversation. I've subscribed to Filip's channel. A lot of what you're saying about polish moms, in my opinion, could be said about dads too. I'm polish, my wife's brazilian and we have a one-year old daughter. Between my wife and I we speak 70% english, 30% Portuguese. To our daughter - my wife - 100% portuguese and I do 50% polish and 50% Portuguese. We live in Brazil but we're moving to Poland next year so I'm not concerned about her polish but if we were staying I'd definitely try to speak more polish to her and maybe later even enroll her in some polish course.

[@magdalenag.1736]

Thank you again for very interesting and funny video with Filip 😀

[@maciejzbrowski]

Super odcinek dobrze było Was posłuchać

[@marttna5516]

6:30 Well in my case I understand Phil's wife! Kids need to learn how to play without electronics. I also had a rule in my house "1 hour a day" If that time was up then I had to do other things And as I grew older I had more time on electronics So it wasn't weird that my parents could "play more". The older you are the more you can play

[@simi1950]

its funny to listen to this as a polish xd.. like.. yeahh.. of corse eat vegetables and fruits.. i ate a lot from the garden as a kid.. :)

[@rayan69pl]

14:45 ok nie chcę mi się tłumaczyć tego na angielski... To się nazywa "zimny chów" wg mnie wynika z czasów wojny. Moi rodzice to dzieci urodzone zaraz po wojnie, ich rodzice nie mieli czasy i głowy na tulenie ich i pokazywanie im miłości tylko zastanawiali się jak przeżyć kolejny dzień. A skoro im nie pokazano takich wzorców to jak sami mogli to przekazywać skoro też żyli w dość ciężkich czasach. To akurat się zmienia i młodzi rodzice zauważyli ten problem ale to potrwa zanim będzie normą

[@irenadziedzic5046]

Dokładnie tak. Tak właśnie bylismy wychowywani. Rodzice pracowali od świtu do nocy. Będąc dzieckiem nigdy nie widziałam ich jak kładą się spać albo kiedy wstają rano.

[@alexandraj7736]

Thank you for another amazing video 😊

[@agata4883]

omg, this video is amazing!

[@irenadziedzic5046]

Happy wife,....happy life!

[@magdalenadetoffol6406]

❤️❤️❤️ Questioning of authorities…so true 🤣🤣🤣

[@BartekKowalski-qi4rj]

👍👍👍

[@fetchingfossa9172]

"it takes a village" is a thing in most of the world I think, rather than distancing yourself from other families and people. USA and other 'progressive', let's call it, European countries are the exception here, not the global majority.

[@alinas.2375]

👍

[@Malanka_wild_garden]

I wont agree with that we are not toutchy. We are, when the doors ale closed :P

[@marek7641]

Am I the only person who says “Shaka-laka” after he says “boom”?

[@Immigrantwriter]

not anymore 😂

[@Michal-gg3qz]

@@Immigrantwriter 😂😂

[@irenadziedzic5046]

I like that "boom"

[@mateuszwesoowski9583]

The joke we have is: 1. Wife is always right. 2. In case when wife is not right - see point 1. On a side note - it is the job of the mother to be protective, it is the job of the father to give the child space to make mistakes and learn. It's the fathers hard love that's meant to balance out the protectiveness of the mother. And yes, a Polish wife will challenge that hard fatherly love with her over protective sensitive love. It's a constructive conflict, and it requires some compromise, but it's necessary to set that compromise you come up with in stone. So that you don't have two different competing approaches that confuse the child, but a unified front that's a mix of both. I think that not synthesizing those two approaches into one is the most common mistake Polish parents make.

[@tomaszwyszkowski2253]

Polish women always have clean house, kids are well taking care of, hot meal is cooked, and they all work full time. How in the world is this possible?

[@Immigrantwriter]

THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS 😂💪

[@nohandle00000]

You're not generalizing.. quite the opposite, you're talking about only two women. I disagree on most of those points lol
