I recently fixed some broken links on the resources for sexual assault/violence in Japan list that I started in 2016, which I’d be happy to update if folks have more recs: shinpaideshou.com/2016/08/09/r...

I want to make an informative video where I can list resources for victims of SA in Japan. This is an incredibly important topic that’s not often covered, and sadly a question that I get often in my DMs.

Whoever takes a shower last will run the washing machine/drier at night.

Husband: 昨日、洗濯回し忘れた。
Me: あ、失礼。
Husband: いや、俺が。
Me: 失礼。

I love our dynamic 😂

Today I spent the day with a mamatomo and we went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch, karaoke, and then yakiniku 💕

And I sent a selfie to my husband and he said:

お母さん見てにっこり
(baby smiled when she saw you)

And ✨OH MY GOODNESS✨

Me with a newborn: I don’t understand why people say they’re potatoes, they’re so active and lively and—

Me with a 10mo: ah, the potato era

WDYM baby can suddenly get in and out of sitting ON HER OWN??

I am so proud I want to bawl

Parents!!

… I have a… silly question.

I’m finally ready to enter my lipstick era but I kiss my baby all the time. Like. All. The. Time.

Should I wait until I stop (until she literally threatens me unless I do) or… are there safe (and budget friendly) alternatives I can use?

Thanks 💋

Parents in Japan!

I think baby is ready to go from bottles with nipples to a straw…

Any recommendations? Most cups don’t have the ml. written on them (or they’re at 50-100-150-200) and I’d prefer something more precise, like normal bottles…

Any advice?

So far I’ve been using a silicone straw 😂

Whenever I leave my ward I can tell that it spends a lot of money on making sure that pavements are well taken care of and accessible for wheelchairs and strollers!

The minute I leave it, it’s all bumps and cracks!

Yesterday, I was clearing up the dishes after dinner when I hear my husband, who was bathing our daughter, call for me.

Husband: SACHI! SACHI!!
Me: What?! What’s going on?
Husband: COME HERE!

I just had an insane idea but what if I do a tiktok/reel/shorts series reviewing Japanese baby food…?

(*in lieu of Kewpie stopping their baby food production)

How… how bad of an idea is this? 😂

I was so worried about the Japanese summer and needing to go outside with baby… but I think tsuyu might be the end of me 💕
