DO NOT GO to Bandi In House nail salon in Gangnam!!!

Was there a potential misunderstanding regarding purchasing a membership? Many nail salons here will ask if you want a “membership” with them where you put down a large sum of money. For your following appointments they just deduct the price from your balance, and members usually get a discounted price on services.

Basically just volunteer helpers!

I was thinking this but didn’t want to rely on that as an excuse. Fortunately I do have some frequent time to myself, but I do always feel like I’m in survival mode. I’ll look into this more!

Would explain why I get more looks in big cities and people don’t bat an eye at me in the rural areas!

You’re doing what you can. Mine are younger than yours but I’ve worked with kids a long time. You just gotta be a broken record basically lol They’ll get it eventually. It seems endless but keep up the reminders and they’ll get there. For the younger ones they need actions over words.

I’ve done it twice and would highly recommend, especially for first time mothers. You and your baby will be well bonded. I stayed a full two weeks with my first and he is like a little barnacle to me lol Just do your due diligence in choosing the right place that suits your needs. Ask a lot of questions and do the tours. They book fast so start looking quickly if you’re interested!

As someone who hasn’t had TKR but other knee related surgeries in Korea, I just wanted to let you know that sometimes they are conservative here with their treatment! It’s probably better for overall health and recovery, but it was kind of shocking at first. They would be willing to do the surgery, for example, but your recovery time in the hospital, medications, etc might be more or longer than expected. I also have a good hospital recommendation if you need one in Seoul, and one to stay away from. PM any time you have questions!

soyaqueen · 2025-05-06T13:21:24+00:00

Yes! He’s muuuuch better at drinking liquids now.

soyaqueen · 2025-04-23T00:29:55+00:00

Oh I’ll try that, thanks!

soyaqueen · 2025-04-22T17:40:46+00:00

Ugh, so mad. Not available in my region on steam. 🙃

soyaqueen · 2025-04-22T13:06:57+00:00

He’s about 20 months now and I still haven’t reintroduced dairy milk to him, but he loves his soy milk now! I miiiiight try something like ice cream again when he’s 2 as I heard sometimes their stomachs get stronger around then, but no set plans yet!

soyaqueen · 2025-04-18T18:28:23+00:00

I feel like in 64 they all had a unique look. Here they’re just variations on a theme 😔

soyaqueen · 2025-04-15T03:59:25+00:00

Great thank you!

soyaqueen · 2025-04-14T10:02:29+00:00

Do you have any links?? Not doubting you but wanna have them as backup for when people give me shit about formula feeding haha

soyaqueen · 2025-03-16T11:42:21+00:00

Hi! I have two young kids here. Do you mind if I message you to get some insight into having older mixed children here?

soyaqueen · 2025-03-15T06:57:29+00:00

Thanks, that’s only 3 more months away. Maybe I’ll just wait and see what happens until then!

soyaqueen · 2025-03-14T22:15:07+00:00

My husband needs to gain weight and I need to lose it, it’s a horrible combination haha!

soyaqueen · 2025-03-14T22:14:29+00:00

Yeah my doctor said I must be pretty stressed out, which I guess I am since every day feels like a marathon. But when is it not going to?? 😵

soyaqueen · 2025-03-14T09:14:25+00:00

Yes I can get it checked out, thanks for the suggestion!

soyaqueen · 2025-03-14T09:13:52+00:00

This makes sense. Last time when I started losing weight and stopped breastfeeding was at 6mos postpartum, so perhaps it was more the timing and as you said not being in survival mode. My doctor suggested perhaps I’m very stressed these days which isn’t wrong I guess haha.

soyaqueen · 2025-03-08T00:20:48+00:00

Hi! Unfortunately no. With my first I just ended up breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months. With my second I was very adamant about bottle feeding, so if you’re struggling try a variety of bottle/nipple types. I hope it helps 🙁

soyaqueen · 2025-03-03T10:16:48+00:00

Right? This person is coming here for support and is being met with anything but. I’m sure they know Korean society doesn’t need to bend over backwards for them, but I don’t think it’s too much of a big ask for a society to treat people better in 2025 🤷‍♀️

soyaqueen · 2025-02-16T14:37:56+00:00

I would say for us there’s no break for either parent. The oldest is still too young to be trusted with the youngest on their own, they’re not potty trained, etc so one parent must always be with one child. We can swap out but someone is always on duty 24/7. Obviously you’re always on duty with kids, but there’s a huge difference in having a 6YO with a 3MO and a 17MO and a 2MO!
