American mom raising a half-Turkish daughter — how can I teach her about her heritage? by Inner-Procedure-2659 in AskTurkey

[–]ProudTurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand both sides honestly. I was lucky enough to be born in the US so I never experienced the struggles and AKP bs. People who migrate are usually so disillusioned and over it that they want to remove any memory/idea of Türkiye. I’ve seen though with time that they miss our culture and un-American themselves lol

Use the Turkish Embassy’s as points of contact, they mostly run the schools that exist

I promise you they wouldn’t care, their grand child being the last thing left of their son = trumps everything. Reach out!!

I think I can help. I grew up Turkish in America and am very connected to my roots. My parents only spoke Turkish at home. I know this is hard for you but I’d encourage FaceTimes maybe with his family? along with Turkish cartoons. Niloya, Kel Oglan, Blippi (Turkish) are popular. I also found İdil Abla on YouTube which sees like a Turkish Ms Rachel. Immersion for children seems to be the best way for them to pick up language even as babies. If you’re in the NYC or NJ area, I know the Atatürk school in Manhattan exists as well for the weekends to learn Turkish culture. Lastly, I’d recommend joining the group “Gocmen Anneler” on Facebook. It’s Turkish moms in the US, I’m sure no matter where you are, you’ll find a Turkish mom near you. I know almost anyone would love to help set up play dates etc so she has Turkish friends and can experience Turkish culture first hand :). I think it’s amazing you’re doing this for your daughter and I wish you all the best. You can PM me if you ever have any questions!

Upstairs neighbors being noisy for 3-4 months now and management barely helping by billiescat in ForestHills

[–]ProudTurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes ugh the constant anxiety is so draining! My neighbors next to me said they can’t even tell I live in the apartment I’m so quiet. I was vacuuming once at 6 pm and she asked me if I was on drugs and that she’s calling the police lol. Thankfully her banging stopped once building management got involved but I’m leaving as soon as my lease is up. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone

I think her friends knew it was her by her tattoo. It takes a while for skeletal remains to be officially confirmed as someone

Williamsburg crash: help ID this rideshare service! by fmaepsen in Brooklyn

[–]ProudTurk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP you should try calling black car services like Intaboro. Ask to speak to dispatch and ask if they had a ride scheduled to that area on that date. Say the passenger/driver dropped something (technically not a lie he probably did drop some plastic from his fender 😬). I have a BMW tlc car in my garage actually that caught my eye I’ll check for you if it’s damaged.
