FAMILY

RODZINA

A Polish – Nigerian marriage is going through the first few weeks after the birth of their child. They encounter consecutive problems related to the communication between the spouses, mother’s psychoactive drugs and breastfeeding. The issues caused by cultural differences become the most severe at the moments of the greatest tension within the family. One may even arrive at the impression that the man and the women are raising the child separately, each of them in his or her own way corresponding to the parent’s culture standards or, simply, a different personality.
