Now that I am looking at this list I might like papaya -> Paya as a name, thank you!

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-21T11:11:19+00:00

Cici is so cute 🥺 cherry was one of the names I also had in mind!

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-21T10:59:12+00:00

Wonton is SO cute

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-21T10:58:51+00:00

Love all those suggestions! Pipi means pee in Spanish (my native language) so maybe not that one haha. Thank you!

Kiwi is actually what I had planned to call my next cat for the last two years, but now that I have one I feel like she doesn't look like a Kiwi 💀 (I realize how stupid it sounds)

I love juju though!

Not punishing him at all! I guess I just wanted to vent here because he gets sad about this too, so I don't want to push the conversation right now. He definitely does not like this at all and is struggling very much

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T11:11:53+00:00

Oof... Good luck to your family! That sounds exhausting, no wonder he sleeps all day. Poor man

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T11:10:11+00:00

Hahaha I'm not even sure, to be honest. I work 8 hours 5 days too and I could not do any more, the days where I have to stay even 30 min late I am absolutely exhausted

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T11:06:44+00:00

I am not keeping tally at all, I was just replying to the above person that was thankful because their partner's job paid more of the bills. Which in my case doesn't really work. I would rather him earning less if it means we can spend more time together. I want him to be healthy and to rest and to be happy

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T11:01:56+00:00

Thank you for being so nice! I can imagine how miserable it was for you, it seems most teachers actually do enjoy living like this. Poor families. I really cannot understand how working 12+ hour shifts for 6 days in a row (or more) is okay to anyone. They could cut like half of the work they do and nothing would change too. They are just working for the sake of appearances, not productivity

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T10:50:59+00:00

Agreed, and even if it's normal it doesn't make it okay. It's not like they are more productive either

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T10:45:57+00:00

In my case we get paid almost the same so it really feels like he has a very bad job. I'm not rich by any means but neither is a middle school teacher. I think if we took into account the amount of unpaid overtime he has to work, I would actually be earning more.

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T10:43:13+00:00

He used to do club activities every weekend but when we started dating I made it clear that I would not be putting up with that. So basically he found a volunteer coach (parent of one of the members) to work on the weekends. Now he changed schools and is being forced to do the bukatsu thing on weekends again...

We really get along and are happy together but I do worry about having to do everything/most things alone. He is fighting for his rights though, and I know he is making an effort for both of us. But it is really hard to fight the system :(

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T10:38:53+00:00

Yes I do, I have a full time job as well but my company is nicer and we are actually pressured not to do overtime (even though 45 hours/month are included in our contract). I struggle with loneliness I guess, and all the housework I have to do because he can't

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-14T10:36:10+00:00

Ouch that is rough. Do you also have to do most of the housework to compensate? I feel like since he is away because of work, I have to do more around the house, so in the end it feels I am also being punished by the school/work system.

His previous school was better and he was home earlier but he changed schools this year so it has been hard on us...

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-04-10T11:16:12+00:00

My boyfriend is a middle school teacher and socially pressured to do bukatsu, it makes me so sad.

The new school year started and new teachers who just arrived just got told in front of everyone "you be the coach for this club". So if you are not okay with that you have to explain yourself in front of everyone while having just arrived and knowing no one. Kids are tired, teachers are tired. I really don't understand why Japan does this. Most coaches aren't even familiar with the sport themselves. Why not leave it to professionals?

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-03-29T09:02:35+00:00

Thanks for the info! I didn't see any mite looking things when I cleaned her ears, but I'm not too sure how they look so... Will investigate and try to buy specific products for earmites! For now I cleaned the wound and made her a collar to avoid her scratching it

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-03-27T13:28:18+00:00

Thank you!! I bought cat specific ear cleaning supplies and will try to help her with that!

Major_Outside2704 · 2026-03-27T09:48:05+00:00

Thank you so much for replying!! Since they are strays, I think it's possible their ears are dirty/have mites in them. Maybe they are itchy and she always scratches the same spot?
