Being a young grandmother is quite unusual. Often such grandmothers at one time were very young mothers. We learn about the young grandmothers of Brazil and who was the youngest grandmother in history.

The youngest grandmother in history

The name of the youngest grandmother in history is Mum-zi. She was born in Nigeria in 1884. At eight years and four months, the girl became a mother, having given birth to a daughter. She also gave birth very early. She was eight years and eight months old at the time. Thus, Mum-zi became a grandmother at only seventeen.

It sounds incredible, but it turns out that when Mum-zi's peers were preparing for the graduation ball, she was already raising her grandson.

Young grandmothers of Brazil

The young grandmothers of Brazil deserve special attention. In this country, there is a special beauty contest for them. Women participate in it, about whom you can’t even say that they are grandmothers. Participants are over 40 years old. The competition is called "Abuela". It's amazing how these beautiful women look, how they take care of themselves. They can be a great example of what grandmothers can look like.

Young grannies are made by young moms

To become a young grandmother, one must first become a young mother. Every girl who has become a mother at a young age can claim the title of a young grandmother in the future, if her child continues the tradition she started. According to the site, the youngest mother in medical history is Lina Medina, a native of Peru. When she gave birth, she was not even 6 years old. Our website has a detailed one.

Young grandmothers often boast of their age. Children of young parents are usually glad that they can communicate with them, as with friends, in the same language. Young grandmothers are full of strength and enthusiasm, care for children is still close in their memory, the problems of a young mother are understandable, therefore such grandmothers often become the first helpers to their children who have become parents early.

There is also a reverse situation. Having become a young grandmother, a woman does not believe that she should devote herself to her grandchildren in adulthood, she has her own goals. Often they motivate this by the fact that they have already put the child on their feet and now they can only take care of their own lives. Sometimes the emphasis on the word "young" is not put at all, and young grandmothers do not make a problem of the fact that they are now grandmothers. These women simply proceed from the situation in the family at the time of the birth of their grandson.

Psychologists advise young grandmothers not to worry about the fact that diapers will appear in the family again and so early, caring for a small child, again you will have to get up at night. It is important to remember that, first of all, a newborn is not your child, but the child of your daughter or son. After all, children should also take place, and there is no need to resist this. The task of a young grandmother, according to experts, is to be herself, adore her grandchildren and get a lot of positive emotions from communicating with a small new family member. It is important to remember that it is not a matter of age, the main thing is the state of a young and cheerful soul.

The youngest grandmother in the world

The title of the youngest grandmother in the world was given to Rifka Stanescu. At the age of eleven, she ran away from home to her lover. The young man was only thirteen years old - this is Ionel Stanescu. They merried. Rifka became pregnant and at twelve she already became a mother, having given birth to a girl. She named her daughter Mary. A year later, her son Nikolai was also born.

When Maria grew up, she decided to take an example from her mother. At eleven she became pregnant, at twelve she gave birth to a boy. They named him Ion. Rifka's daughter did not finish school, because of which the young mother was worried, wanting a different fate for her daughter. According to the youngest grandmother, she would like her daughter to achieve something more in life than just motherhood.

Rifka became the grandmother of little Ion at the age of twenty-three. She says she is happy to be a grandmother. The whole family lives in the gypsy community. Such early marriages are not uncommon there. Gypsies have such traditions. Surprisingly, when Jonah was only two years old, he was engaged to a girl who at that time was eight years old. If they marry and have a child at a young age, Rifka may well become the youngest great-grandmother.

Rifka said that when she was two years old, she was already engaged, but at eleven she fell in love with her future husband, to whom she ran away, against the engagement and the will of her parents. The girl's young husband, at thirteen, already worked as a jewelry seller.

The thing is that in the culture of gypsies, virginity is highly valued. After spending her first night with Ionel, she, one might say, "put an end" to her engagement to another young man. The parents had to break the agreement and marry their daughter to Stanescu. At first, Rifka's father, out of indignation, attacked his future son-in-law with a knife. Over time, the relationship improved. When Ionel and Rifka had their first child, the young man's family paid the dowry to Rifka's parents in full. So the conflict was over.

It is known that until recently the record belonged to another young grandmother. She is from the UK and became a grandmother at twenty-six. There is a woman in America who became a grandmother at twenty-eight. She became a mother at thirteen, and her daughter gave birth to a child at fourteen.

Homemade cakes of this form can be of two types - this is the well-known crispy brushwood and these are soft donuts, which my great-great-grandmother fried in oil. This is one of those recipes that wander from generation to generation and each housewife prepares such donuts in her own way. I wrote down the recipe for donuts from the words of my grandmother and, despite the fact that the dough contains simple and affordable products, I have not seen such a taste anywhere else. I think you will like it too.

You will need:

• eggs 2 pcs
• sugar 6 tbsp
• sour cream 2 tbsp
• pinch of salt
• powdered sugar 2 tbsp

From this amount, 18 donuts are obtained.

Step-by-step photo recipe for making donuts:

Sift the flour(3 cups) in a bowl.

In another bowl beat eggs with sugar(mixer 2-3 minutes).

Add to eggs milk And sour cream. Beat until smooth.

mix soda with vinegar and immediately pour into the egg-milk mixture. Stir.

Make a well in the flour and pour the whipped mass into it. Using a spoon or spatula, pouring flour from the edges to the middle, knead the dough. As soon as the dough can be taken with your hand, put it on the board and knead with your hands. Sprinkle flour. Transfer the dough to a bowl and cover with a towel or cling film. Leave the dough for 30 minutes at room temperature.

As a child, when I watched my grandmother and tried to help her, these 30 minutes seemed like an eternity to me - I really wanted puffies! And Grandma Elizabeth slowly sifted the remnants of flour, cleaned the board from the remnants of dough, and washed the dishes. I advise you to do this, and let the dough rest. So gluten will form better in it and it will be light, like a yeast muffin. To pass the time, “run” around the site, look, for example, that my other grandmother Maria baked. I had a happy childhood - two grandmothers who lived nearby, on neighboring streets, loved me, taught me and fed me tasty food.

But back to our test, it rested well. Place the dough on a floured cutting board, knead a little and cut into two pieces.

Roll out one piece of dough rectangle approximately 25cm x 35cm thick 0.5 - 0.7 cm. Cut the dough lengthwise into 6 strips, then each strip into three parts - obliquely - so that you get elongated rhombuses. In the middle of each diamond, make a cut 1-1.5 cm long. Transfer the blanks to an additional board or tray (do not forget to sprinkle the surface with flour so that the dough does not stick). Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second piece of dough.

To make such a “squiggle” out of the dough, we need to stretch one end of our rhombus into a cut in the middle. But it is better to do this immediately before lowering the donut into hot oil.

Donuts are fried in a large amount of oil, i.e. deep-fried. Grandmother fried in unrefined sunflower oil (there was no other then). Sometimes she added a little cooking oil to it. Now there is refined odorless sunflower oil and it is great for deep-frying. Pour it into a saucepan or a high-sided sauté pan (it's convenient to fry in a non-stick pan) and heat it up.
Advice: Don't throw away the oil bottle. The oil is not recyclable. After frying all the donuts, drain the cooled oil into it and discard (do not pour it down the drain !!!).

Handle oil heating responsibly, because if the oil is not warm enough, the donuts will turn out sticky and will not rise. But you can’t overheat the oil either, because. donuts will burn quickly and will be dry.
How to determine the readiness of the oil? ABOUT tear off a piece of dough and drop it into the oil, if it quickly rises to the surface and boils violently, forming bubbles around itself, then the oil has warmed up enough and you can proceed to the heat.

Before lowering the donut into the oil, make a “squiggle” out of it and shake off the remaining flour.

You can fry several dumplings at once, but make sure that they float freely in the oil. When the donuts are browned on one side, turn them over to the other side (it is convenient to turn over with two forks). Don't overcook the donuts so they don't dry out. Put the finished donuts in a bowl on a paper towel, which will absorb excess oil.

You can eat right away. I assure you, you won’t get by alone - it will be difficult to stop.)))

Grandma's donuts looked exactly like this, but I sprinkle them with powdered sugar, it seems to me, it's more beautiful.

These are grandmother's donuts - the taste of my childhood! Perfect with milk and yoghurt. Tea and coffee is also a great company. You can store in a plastic bag without refrigeration. You can refresh in the microwave - slightly warm.

Bon appetit!

I urgently needed a quote from a song performed by Lyudmila Zykina. I didn’t remember the name, only the line remained in my memory: “In the villages of the Ryazan region in the villages of the Smolensk region ...”

I rummaged through my library, found two collections of pop songs. There is no such! I expected the same result from the music library.
What to do, go to the store. I go to the nearest one: there is a Zykina disk, the price is 360 rubles. No, it's expensive for me - I'm going to the next store. The farther away from home, the cheaper that disc. For 5 rubles ...

Another shop just opened.
There are no buyers. Two skinny girls are bored at the cash desk. Their bellies are on display, their navels have tiny shells, their trousers barely rest on their thighs. They both look like 16-17 years old.
I walk along the shelves: rap, hip-hop, metal, rock and its offshoots.…
In a remote corner of the Kazan orphan is a modest rack "Domestic Performers". Solid pop, age spots of a rock band. I don't see Zykina.

One of the girls runs up to me:
- Hello. Can I help you? What are you interested in?
- Lyudmila Zykina. And so that there are more songs on the disc.
- Zykina ... Zykina ... - the girl wrinkles her forehead, pulls her chin, finally shouts to her friend: - Vika, do you know Zykina?
Girlfriend also wrinkles her forehead, clumsy plastered lips twist in a bewildered grimace.
- Zykina? A-ah ... THIS IS SUCH A BIG FAT OLD WOMAN SINGING FOLK SONGS WITH A LOUD VOICE. Yes? No, we don't have Zykina.

Speaking in youth slang, I quietly precipitate ...

I still bought R.S. Zykina, at the end of Petrogradka, bypassing it all.
For 170 rubles.
The same disk that is next to my house costs 360 ...

Remember the common phrase about the fact that after fifty life is just beginning? We absolutely agree with her, especially when there are so many colorful examples before our eyes.
