One of the things people constantly disagree with me about is children. Specifically how hard it really is to raise one, and that everyone isn’t meant to have them.
Many people don’t understand that where children begin, you end. There isn’t going to be time for things you used to do on your own time, at your own leisure. There are no natural born parents, people that can function on little sleep and overwhelming circumstances. You give up peace, money, autonomy and you don’t stop parenting until you’re gone. There are a large number of people who feel like one day, they’ll become a parent and that will be their identity. Some people start their journey in parenthood wholeheartedly believing their child is an extension of themselves; not a developing, unique person that may or may not be completely different- like no one else in the family.
Having children is the most important job that you will ever have. You don’t get to quit when you realize that maybe you aren’t cut out for it. That’s why it’s important to know yourself, and work on your trauma and shortcomings before they bleed into your children. If you aren’t prepared to make sure they have the absolute best you can provide them in all aspects of life; why are you having them? If you aren’t ready to let your priorities fall to the wayside while you guide a tiny human into themselves, you aren’t prepared.
Literally spending Christmas there because of parter’s family in a few weeks.
It’s not the worst place I have been to, but it is expensive, the people shout at each other mostly in heavy accents, and there is nothing to do. The food?
What’s your problem? I wasn’t put on this earth to talk with or educate you. I SAID I no longer have any interest in talking to you; you can’t understand that but you got shining grades?
Why don’t you go demand things from some other person; because I guarantee you don’t want to take this further.
Did you miss the pound signs and the fact they literally said they were in Bristol, England?
They are across the pond, and having an awful time. Also, do you think that America and England don’t have women?
Funny you should ask, we aren’t having anyone over so- we just made our ham dinner tonight because it’s so much for two we’ll be having ham until we oink :D
You 1,000% need to see someone. It’s not even debatable at this point. This thread is a whole case study on why it would be beneficial for you to speak to a therapist.
Lmaoo it’s all good, It makes sense from the Japanese perspective that they might not be as versed in western history eras. We’re not so versed in their history. I only really know that their “medieval” period was called “the warring states era” because of Inuyasha.
Everything else is right though! They do love the Victorian era and some people like the fashion and lifestyles pictured in that era (I.e men in pressed suits, women in intricate dress, getting tea poured from a fine teapot by a black and white clad Maid or butler)
Yes, I’m aware it’s not rooted in mysticism but science. I still think they make good stories to tell, and most people have some experience with it.
