Every country has its own traditions and timelines. Therefore, it is not surprising that in Finland they follow a completely different lifestyle than in Spain.. As Anna Mattia, a young woman who has been living there for 10 years, said, not only does she follow a different model, but it also poses a difficult problem in reconciling her life with that of her children.
Through TikTok, the woman explained “what the school schedule looks like” in the country. Because the problem, he said, is that dinner time is usually at 6:00 p.m., which is not always the case, since “extracurricular activities are very early.” “School starts three days at 9:00 and two days a week at 8:00. Then one day ends at 2:00 PM, and another day at 12:00 PM. The remaining three days at one in the afternoon.”
Therefore, even if your children go to the same center, they will not always have the same schedules and teaching time. “The largest has 24 hours, which is actually 26, But these two hours are for support lessons in mathematics, language and English, and since he does not need them, he only attends 24 hours. He pointed out that the little girl goes to school for 22 hours, but her training session is also 24 hours for the same reason.
Although the positive part is that by spending so much time at the centre, they also have time to eat: “School meal period begins at 10:20 a.m The kids start preschool, so at 11:20, all the classes and teachers have finished eating. “When they get home at 12:00, 1:00 or 2:00 p.m., they eat a larger or smaller snack depending on the time.”
For this reason, although it is normal to have dinner early, she and her children have to eat dinner later, around 7:00 pm, while the majority of the neighbors “already had dinner at 4:00 pm.” “I understand that this may seem like a shock and such It’s hard, but you get used to it. We do not stop eating five meals a day“Breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner and just before bed for those who are hungry, kids always eat something. Sometimes I eat, sometimes I don’t,” he explained.
The video quickly went viral on TikTok, where in just one day it reached nearly 90,000 views. In addition, there were many comments that were surprised by the striking dates. “But what a hassle,” “Schedule envy, we love having these with our kids here in Spain too.” “I find it very strange, the customs of each place and in the end they all work even if they are in different rhythms.” Or, “Oh my God, I’m going to die of hunger,” were some of the most prominent messages.
