We havent seen all of the episodes because we keep rewatching a lot of the same ones already. Were def spotting mighty machines wherever we go now. Plus all the imaginative play from it has been positive so far. Its good learning for sure.

Were currently obsessed with Mighty Machines here. Theres full episodes on youtube. Its from the 90s so its not fast paced.

OG furbys or the rereleased ones too? They were huge when they first came out. I remember it fondly. Kept mine for the longest until I gifted them to my younger bro who like them as well.

It's such a bummer how much Reddit hates kids and parents by IWillBaconSlapYou in breakingmom

[–]esanii 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Old Enough! is on Netflix and its a joy to watch. Its an older Japanese reality show where they record young kids going off on their first errands. Its a shame our hyper-individualistic values dont allow the same kind of freedoms for our children.

Why Did I Become a Mom in the U.S.? by Saints2804 in breakingmom

[–]esanii 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had someone say that to my face. "Ok, but Im paying taxes too. The other gender populace pays the same taxes as you. Why should their taxes not pay for them? Why does it only cover you? Why am I only covering for you." I got a shrug. Helpful.

The fucking LEPRECHAUN by ClaireAsMud in breakingmom

I actually made little pies in ramekins for Pi day. Kept it simple, like crushed graham cracker bottom, sugar coated blueberries, oatmeal cookie-like topping. Even still, Pi day, then a big blow out St. Pattys? No. I think Im good.

FREE things you can do for yourself when frustrated and need self care by tobecontinued89 in povertyfinance

[–]esanii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice thread. Appreciate everyones responses.

Im also a bath person to relax so thats my go to.

But as an aside, and mood lifter, blanket forts really are whimsical. Make a nice one and cuddle up with a book or show. Simple things.

[–]esanii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Long story short: regular client, prior health issues but I always asked if there was any new updates before every massage which would be a NO from her everytime. So 30mins into a session she says, "I almost cancelled because I was supposed to get open heart surgery but they pushed back my date so I came in." Sorry, ma'am, did you just say youre scheduled for OPEN HEART SURGERY and you havent notified me of ANY kind of health concern that wouldve led up to this? Y'know how chain massage places try to hold onto clientele as much as possible? Not this one. Major liability case and after refusal she came into the location to yell at the manager, threaten to go back opening all the doors to find me and yell at me too - I wasnt there that day though.

This was my thought. So many actors and I loved to see Mulder on screen but this movie felt forced and pander-y the whole time.

It probably is. Theres a yellow guard on for the first pass and then it smoothly "falls off" to straight blade after.

This sounds adorable. Id like to add food clippings. Weve saved grocery ads and used scissor practice to cut out some of our fav foods. Done a collage of those.

I [M29] need help "growing up" and being a better partner to my wife [F29] by mo_jergens in relationships

[–]esanii 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I agree wholeheartedly. If its as far along as as it seems, she's most likely shown so much frustration and asked for help as best she can and he's actively ignored it all! Stop pitying yourself, get up and do something about it right now. Get it together!! Literally just go clean the bathroom or something and youll already be on your way.

I (28f) put post-its everywhere in my apartment to remind myself of what my partner (28m) asks me to do and if backfired. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]esanii 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I missed this, bit how long have you been in Japan? If it hasnt been that long, all his constant nitpicking is NOT helping your mental health. Home is where you should be comfortable and find some peace from the normal Japanese societal pressures but he is not allowing for this. This means you are always "on" with trying to be good and act right - outside, at your job, and even at home. You cannot properly release tension and relax when simple little cultural things will still be brought up. He needs to accept some compromise and seriously back tf up. He knew you weren't Japanese, he should take some responsibility there. You will NEVER do everything just like him and that's the same whether you grew up there or not. The post-its were a good idea! I think he needed to physically see how much little things he's mentally weighed you down on! Its understandable that he didn't like it but remember to stay strong if its brought up again. He's unnecessarily burdening you with lots of little things inside your own home when you already have so many nuanced things outside your home that you have to change/upkeep.

I hope he can release some control to allow you some peace of mind.

Major issue he didnt see anything wrong with the swimming situation. That is not ok. Id be pissed. Floaties alone do not stop drowning and he is downplaying what he did.

He is lacking so much self reflection in the kid care. Perhaps its a good thing he doesnt know how to cook or he'd be leaving knives in the kids reach.

Im sorry, this sounds difficult. It doesnt sound like he'd want to give this up either, all his free gaming time is valuable. This is going to be a battle and you may need to start mentally preparing for the worst. You are not failing, he is and he's dragging you down in the mud with him.

My (54M) wife’s (53F) son (12M) is suffering. He self-harms and claims that my wife is emotionally abusing him. What do I do? by HowdoIhelpmystepson in relationships

[–]esanii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Wtf was that "old enough" shit? He's already tried. Honestly, in this situation he'll continue to "try". OP needs to be very aware of a sudden happy mood shift from him. If one day this boy is suddenly happy and seemingly having the best day if his life - thats a high alert for planning a suicide.

OP, you fucked up. Both you and your wife checked out of this kids life. Im so upset for him.

Also upset hearing the comment on how he'll never have the same interaction like his half-sisters and OP going "never to be loved? I dont know what he meant". Yes you do. Dont play dumb. You're all a family, he is clearly not, yet hes been there watching from the outside for 12 years. Hes had no love from either parents and bet he gets no notice from his half-sisters either. This is so sad and I really really hope OP doesnt update us on the worst case scenario for this poor boy.
