I would trust your gut. This seems pretty extreme to me, to go straight to Orthodox Judaism. Like, if you’re not okay with that being the rest of your life, now is the time to get out. Sure, he says he won’t commit to that life after conversion, but knows? If this isn’t the path you want to go down, don’t do it.
Santa lists are wishlists, not shopping lists. It’s fun to dream up all the things we would want to have, but let’s see what Santa brings— he doesn’t get everything on the list.
It looks like they want you to reserve through Tabelog (from what I see on the Japanese site). Just reserve from that site. Looks like “Club The Pepper” begins at 8pm.
We had a similar issue around that age as kid dropped nap and switched to a big kid bed. She was getting terrible sleep, we were getting terrible sleep, something had to change.
Honestly you could shoot them an email now, if only just to ask. They tend to respond shockingly fast (though fyi year end is coming up so they may be busy).
Seconding Facebook groups— parent groups as well as “Buy Nothing” groups. On my local Buy Nothing and parent groups there was often lots of unopened and/or fresh foods on offer. Plenty of givers were quite happy to respond to requests as well as people!
Holy fuck I would be so angry if someone recorded my child during a difficult moment. What was their purpose? To laugh at the child’s emotional distress later? To share it and make fun of him on the internet?
I think this is very family dependent. Some families do the majority of presents from family and put them out during December. Others do the majority from Santa and put them out Christmas morning
I feel like the people who judge toddler leashes/backpacks either don’t have kids (yeah, we were all AMAZING parents before having kids) or were lucky and didn’t have a kid who ran into unsafe situations.
Daycare took up a huge chunk of my salary when kid was born— HCOL area and traditionally underpaid field. However in the field it is vital to not have any resume gaps, so I kept working. Doing so paid off and I was able to get a much higher paying position in a much LCOL area after two years.
Yes this! When you stop working you’re not only missing out on your current salary, but also lowering your future potential salary. Also in some fields it may be be be very difficult to re-enter after a few years out of the industry.
Fellow craft-loving kid here. We always get her cute stationery, blank postcards, etc. And then new markers, glitter markers, rubber stamps and pads, cute stickers, watercolor pencils, etc. Also pom poms, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes. You can do so much with those!
Since you don’t know what happened and your dog has no history of aggression, I probably wouldn’t go right to rehoming the dog. Like my dog has scratched me accidentally plenty of times just when stretching her legs out.
Honestly you’re citing some major safety concerns (corporal punishment, environmental issues). Great teachers and friends can’t make up for basic safety. Besides, teachers can change jobs, and friends unexpectedly move (or new kids arrive).
Most running events require registration far in advance. If you know the name of the event, you can google it and see, but pre-registration has likely already passed.
Honestly I’d just give back the presents and break up with her now. There’s no reason to take such abusive language and stay in a terrible relationship any longer.
Absolutely normal. My kid’s yochien closed one class for a couple of days twice this fall due to flu and some other virus going around since so many kids were out sick. Just part of being a little kid out in the world.
Ramen aside, the shrines will be busy, packed, and lively on the 1st. Go enjoy those!
4 kids sounds great, and she’ll have one of her besties there! Actually it sounds like it could be ideal for her if she shuts down in larger groups.

Framed picture of a drawing my kid did. She loves that stuff! They live far away from us so she really appreciates having those special things.

Honestly I prefer some of the subscription games to the free ones that have ads or additional content for a fee.

I say this gently, but It stops when you put down some boundaries.

I wear black 100% of the time whenever I go out, the brown is very nice but it wouldn't go with my outfits :(
Then it sounds like you should wait until you can find one that you like better. I wouldn’t dye it.

Why would you put presents out this early if your kids are 8? Are you in to torture?

Why do you think only your pay covers childcare? What is leftover after you and your spouse BOTH pay for care?

Go to Jinbocho in Tokyo (a book haven).

I’d ignore it and let it pass. If she feels too hot she’ll take it off.
We re-offer the dinner plate— but also our dinner and bedtime aren’t far apart.
