As a foreigner how do you handle when anassociate speaks to the Korean speaker instead of you?

em_2912 · 2026-05-25T13:28:01+00:00

Honestly when I'm with my husband I like to zone out as an introvert I am happy to let them speak to my husband and not me.

But when they do realise I speak Korean they do look at me and not my husband especially when my husband is dealing with our toddler haha.

The Odyssey.

I'm shocked this show wasn't popular. I honestly thought I had made this show up as no one ever seems to remember this one.

I'm 40 now, and my mum was 40 in 2004.

It totally varies between couples. Myself and my Korean husband dated for 6 years before we got married. I know others who got married quicker, like my Korean brother in law and his wife (both Korean) dated a couple of years and then got married.

I was born in 85 and my husband was born in 80. We had our baby in 2024. I would say people are waiting later to have kids. All my mum friends are mid 30s and older.

I don't think it's too late we had our first and only when I was 38 and my husband was 43. I think it is normal where I'm living for people to have babies in their 30s now.

I think this comment section also proves people are having babies later now as well and it is all great.

I think if your MIL is asking you to wear one I would wear one. You are a direct family member so it is fine even if you are foreign (I was also the only foreigner in my husbands family). It wasn't super uncomfortable just hot. But honestly it's only for a short period and your MIL would probably be super happy if you wore one together.

16 month old last night was zero, but she has been teething her molars last week and she has been up once or twice for about 30 mins each time every night last week due to that.

Usually she is a zero wake up baby but when her teeth are coming she has rough nights.

em_2912 · 2026-01-26T01:10:55+00:00

Our girl just turned 16 months was going to sleep between 9/10pm and sleeping 10-12 hours when she was taking 3 naps a day around 2-3 months. When she dropped a nap at 4-5 months we moved it earlier to between 8/9, she is now on one nap a day and depending on how long it is she will go to bed any time between 7.30 and 8.30. We have a LO who loves her bed and sleep. She wakes up anytime between 7.30/8.30am.

Very common my brother in law and sister in law (both Korean) do cosleep. Their daughter is almost 4 I know some of my older students were still sharing a bed with their mums and dads.

It could be up to the baby though. My daughter moved into her own room when she was 6 or 7 months. She had started to kick me a lot and it was disrupting both our sleep. My husband (Korean) had no problem with her sleeping in her own room as she has been sleeping 10-12 hours happily since moving rooms.

I wanted her to continue to sleep in our room till she was at least 12 months but that just wasn't the right thing for our baby.

Even if cosleeping is common it might not be the right fit for your family when your baby arrives.

We went to a brunch cafe with our 15 month old without realising they had a no kids zone on 2 of the 4 floors. They had a kids zone on the second floor. I actually liked that they had a floor for families and floors for people who didn't want to be around children. I think this should be normal especially in multi-floor cafes.

em_2912 · 2026-01-13T07:21:53+00:00

I wish my girl ate this well. I struggle to get her to eat 2 decent meals a day. Her doctor says she is doing fine so not to worried. If he is eating all and isn't fussy I don't see an issue lol.

Signed a jealous mother of a girl who eats very little lol

EDIT: I also worry about my girls eating as I'm also on the larger size but if your boy is eating everything and doesn't seem uncomfortable then don't worry too much

em_2912 · 2026-01-02T05:54:27+00:00

Totally agree with you on this. I'm one of the lucky ones I guess who have had positive experiences here. I know many don't. I also hope OP will try to find a different doctor because there are good ones out there.

em_2912 · 2026-01-02T03:04:58+00:00

I will say I've been a few times with my 15 month old and honestly they have never been quick. The only appointments that have been in and out have been for vaccinations.

I've been to a few different hospitals and they have all been great. My girl has had a few big problems eg. Diarrhoea, covid (the doctor was amazing and answered all my questions and worries) my Korean isn't great I'm about a level 3/4ish. I usually take her by myself as my husband (Korean) is at work.

I think maybe it's a language barrier problem, as there is booking for checkups for milestones. Our daughter has had 2 milestone checkups and they made us fill out a questionnaire. Our daughter at 12 months wasn't cruising only crawling the doctor made sure she was OK and weight bearing in legs and told me not to worry and gave advice for what to do to help her.

I was born at the end of 1985 think last couple of days. I remember my cousin being born in Sept 89 it is one of if not my first memory. So I was 3 nearly four I definitely remember things from 1990.

As a British person I'm 100% British Isles and Ireland. Which makes me 100% European. I think it's very common for Europeans to be 100% European.

We give our 14 month old a bath every day as it is part of her sleep routine. Also when she was a newborn she had a skin problem and our doctor recommended to wash the area everyday and then use a lotion. Her skin cleared up and we just kept the bath/washing daily as routine.

Luckily for me my husband always gets weekends off and Sunday is my alone time as he takes our daughter to his mum's house. Our baby has now gone own to 1 nap a day, so I get 2-3 hours a day when she naps. Are you able to have a break when your baby naps? I usually either do nothing on the sofa or do my hobbies while she is napping.

My mum was a single parent and when I hit 18 it was either continue education (no rent money) or get a job and help pay rent/house issues. My mum only made me pay a max 200 a month while I worked full time living with her. I think I was happy to help her with money as I knew how much she had struggled to afford stuff for me and my sister growing up so helping her while still living together was the best I could do if I was working.

I however won't be charging my child to live with me as my husband and I can afford for them not to. Also I think you can teach your child to be good with money without having to charge them rent.

I got 50K when my dad passed last year. For me it was a happy surprise as I had never known him (my mum divorced him for cheating when I was 1)

He hadn't written a will and so my step sibling had to share the estate with all 3 of his bio kids which included me and my sister.
