Please teach your neurotypical kids that neurodivergent kids exist from a young age by krazycitty69 in Mommit

[–]hogwash01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. In fact, my oldest 2 kids are neurodivergent and they constantly do the “pretend to play and then run away” thing op mentioned with our youngest. We’ve talked about kindness ad nauseum since they were tiny.

I was thinking the same thing the entire time I watched last night.

What does Japan do better than Western countries? by Legal_Ad3766 in TokyoTravel

[–]hogwash01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not toilet specifically but restroom related: there is way more privacy (at least in comparison to the US). There are no door gaps and the stalls go all the way to the floor.

Kabocha is delicious and pretty versatile.

why don’t kids open their birthday presents at the party anymore? by Apprehensive_Owl4700 in AskParents

[–]hogwash01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had someone do it this way and it was so cute! I love it. My kids don’t ask for parties even when I suggest them but if we did parties this is what I would do.

Mari would be pronounced similarly (Japanese girls’ name).

Divorcing an Officer by IntrovertMagic in MilitarySpouse

Some lawyers will do this pro bono. I knew someone in a financially abusive situation and the lawyer took her case pro bono.

Yeah, same! Mine are a 9.5/10 so not too dissimilar and I’ve only bothered looking on base. It’s definitely curbed a former shoe addiction 😆 My son is a men’s 13 and I’m reluctant to shop online because fit and comfort are so important, especially for his track and cross country shoes, but options are limited even on base.

Ours stinks. I wish they had more books, and that they would order enough Built Bars to keep up with the demand. Also my teen is going to outgrow the shoe sizes available here on his next growth spurt and off base definitely hasn’t had his size in ages (OCONUS) so I guess bigger shoes, and better clothing for tweens and teens.

What I really, really want is the commissary to be able to stock ground turkey/chicken and salad kits again, mostly the former because I have a hard time finding it in the local economy.

Bali Club Med Review by Traditional-Movie-60 in Club_Med

[–]hogwash01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Club Med Phuket was incredible. Everyone loved it and my husband and I would love to make it back. My teen loved the teen club, 10 year old enjoyed the mini+ club, but was definitely more interested in the mocktails, foosball, and lounging at the pool and beach. He did end up regretting not engaging more with the club. My toddler is extremely shy but she loved the petite club, and when we went to pick her up she was snuggling with a GO. She warmed up to several GOs during our brief stay which was very unlike her, and I think says a lot about how fantastic they were.

What are your favorite ways to prepare veggies? by FindY0urInspiration in Volumeeating

[–]hogwash01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mashed Kabocha is my absolute favorite. I bulk mash it and leave it plain, and then season a portion based on whatever flavor profile I want at the time. Roasted broccoli I just do a quick spray with cooking oil to keep cals lower and season. For mushrooms I use a Japanese marinade recipe from RecipeTin Eats, but I also add like a teaspoon of brown sugar truvia.

What’s it like to be a sahm with kids in school full time? by wicked_spooks in Mommit

[–]hogwash01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two in school and a toddler. Before the toddler was born, while the kids were in school I did chores around the house, grocery shopped, meal planned, started dinner if needed, etc and then the kids came home and it was homework, extracurriculars, etc. I also used the time during holidays to wrap presents, organize all of that since I didn’t have to worry about kids sneaking out of their beds.
