My biomom used to do something like that and it made me so mad. She’d force me and the kids she’d babysit to dumpster dive for merchandise. Yard sales every weekend, bouncing around friends and family’s yards.

Anyway. If there is any type of ESL courses for learning how to switch over from character/syllable based languages lmk. I get why he prefers Japanese though. Syllable based makes more sense compared to the jumble English is.

“Have you considered Montessori? It won’t teach him to read but he’ll learn how to function without it.” No, I don’t think Montessori does that. Im pretty sure Maria Montessori had opinions on literacy.

Another response was about how I should just focus on sports because males need to dominate before they can learn academics. Deadass, just wanted to know if you have cram school in USA.

youtube.com/shorts/X4xOH... article came out about how Japan will eventually be all Sato’s and I ran into this. Apparently not Sato? But Fujiwara’s?

My two off days have been spent either sleeping or watching Call the Midwife while propped up by the corner of my couch. Absolutely not doing anything but drinking water and nibbling on food.

I doubt it’d make Work Husband feel any better if I said “you’re not balding, you are merely imitating the Rising Moon Glow.”

Might have been Turlock, actually. We’d go visit the rich cousins in Southeastern Sacramento and stop somewhere along the way.

For some reason, McDonalds in like Manteca had biscuits and gravy as a menu item. Idk if it was a thing, or “Meemaw needs something to do.”

It’s oddly charming. I have a lunchbox in my packout that says “Lively” with 0 context. And “Lunchtime is the springtime of our lives” on chopsticks case.

Oh shit I just remembered! My mom brought home “crystals” for me to play with. It ended up being bits of broken glass but my neighbors did steal them at one point. I was 3rd or 4th grade?

Thankfully some of the plumbing pipes were copper, for seismic resistance, and I’ll tell ya what, I’d rather clean up a water mess than fire or live wires.

Im soooo fucking tired just thinking about it. The park’s flamboyant kid stole my boot camp granny panties and sagged his trousers. You could see the stencil with my name on it. If I had a nickel for every time my panties got stolen, I’d have two nickels but it’s weird its happened twice.

My son’s first day in San Diego, we saw every type of high at one bus stop. I wasn’t sure if I should be horrified or amazed. He was pretty confused. In Japan, at most it’s drunken salarymen. Just stay home after 7 pm.

The best way to sum up why I don’t go home is “the neighbors we donated furniture to broke into our house and sold everything to our neighbors who fought us for asking for it back.” It’s genuinely not worth the mental gymnastics.

Our trailer park was meth and heroin but eh same concept. I remember getting shot at with BB guns while redoing our roof bc we could see the neighbors “equipment”.
