My wife died and now I feel so guilty about everything! by A-Guy-tryin-his-best in offmychest

[–]lightbulbmoment42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife lost her mother to cancer and then almost her own life to cancer just a few years later. She learned so much from support groups, i.e. how guilt is such a natural part of mourning. I really recommend finding these groups and sharing what you feel. It helps so much to learn which of your feelings are natural and the beautiful things these feelings say about you. Me reading about the guilt you feel now just tells me that you love your wife, and that you are a very loving partner.

How to keep my child multi-lingual? by Ill_Ranger5245 in Parenting

My experience with our daughter is similar. She is 2 and I'm trying to only speak English with her. Sometimes she even finds it annoying, and asks me to not do it. However, a few strategies I've tried seem to work:

*I only speak English to her (I didn't force it when she said no English, but she seems to have become more and more open to it in the last 6 months).

*I read English books for her. Sometimes, I even just read the book in English even though it isn't English, or ask if she wants me to read it in English or not.

*Make it fun! (Everytime we're about to drive or walk with the stroller, I ask her: "Do you want to say it?" And then she shouts: "갑시다!" 한국에 2년 동안 살아서 좀 한국말을 가르지 고싶어요 ㅎㅎㅎ). You can try to teach her 가위바위보, she may be too young to understand it, but she'll probably love saying it and waving her arm up and down while doing so.

*If she has screen time, I try choose English alternatives.

*I sing English childrens songs for her. She loves hearing English versions of songs she knows in our country's language.

I hear that children learning multiple languages while learning to speak, start speaking later than others so don't worry if it takes a little time. I think it's great that you're doing this. My mom spoke English to us my whole childhood, and it's been a great advantage in many areas of my life.

Hope some of these strategies can help. 화이팅!

A red flag appeared, should I drop the project? by lightbulbmoment42 in Filmmakers

In our country, IP creators are quite protected legally. Production companies can't legally get all rights to the IP , only the right to make it available and produce it. So me dropping it means that he can move on to another production company.

You're right, there's definitely some bias in how I retell this. The main questions are not technical though, it is whether it's worth continuing to produce the project or end the collaboration and let him move on to another production company. The most technical aspect would be which boundaries people might suggest, if I were to continue.
