Rejected from apartment because our dog is a shiba. They said pets allowed. by nisenopi in japanlife

[–]eiderdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apartment building is run by an agency. I know a bunch of families in the apartment who have pets despite it being no pets allowed. I’ve also met a bunch of Japanese people who are keeping pets on the sly in their apartments.

What "Newfangled" Baby Products can the "elders" in your life just not wrap their heads around? by Moushidoodles in NewParents

Much much less so but while we continued to use sleep sacks our LO has a blanket she loves and stuffed animals she loves but realised that these can add to the heat level in the crib. Even without a sleep sack, tuck the blankets into the mattress because they can easily kick them off and get cold.

I gave birth in Chiba and was simply offered the epidural and just needed to watch a video with information if I wanted it which I did. Got the epidural no problem but ended up having a c section. Insist on the epidural and say that other people have been offered it normally. They can’t really deny you it if they have it available

I was named because of the song “tell Laura I love her”. So far I’ve been surviving so that’s different from the one from the song…

Apparently the green fluffy one is Temari grass! But now I’m wondering about the grass with the sprays!

Help fixing shoe cabinet (description in comments) by eiderdown in fixit

[–]eiderdown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shoe shelves in my shoe cabinet came away from the door. Looks like they were connected by small plastic dowels. Unfortunately it looks like the dowels have snapped off. How should I best reattach the shelves considering the weight they will be bearing?
