Hello, I live in Irvine and would like to have my child's first meal at a Japanese restaurant.
I live in Irvine and would like to have a weaning ceremony for my child.

I am thinking of either of the above.

If you have any recommendations for Japanese restaurants or Japanese supermarkets in the Irvine or Los Angeles area where
you have held your first wedding ceremony or
actually purchased your snapper, please let us know ？

Thank you. <1464> Thank you very much.

How is the Great Park area for a Japanese person to live?
I have an elementary school child, and I am wondering if there are Japanese students in the class, if he/she can join ELD, if there are Japanese people living around him/her, if he/she can make friends with mothers, etc.
I am new here and don't know the area well, so I am having trouble.

If you can recommend any other areas, that would be great!

Please let me know your opinion.
I lived in the U.S. for 10 years, but my mother asked me to come back to Japan because she was worried about being alone in her old age.
I was single in the U.S. but worked hard.

I was taking care of my mother while working full time back in Japan, but my health started to deteriorate and I realized that I could not continue to work
at the same time, so I quit the company. I was working happily in my new position and was receiving a monthly salary of 250,000 take-home pay.

I looked for a part time job this time, but it is only 100,000 a month since I work 3 times a week.
I am not married so I have to take care of myself in the future and when I was getting 250,000 I was saving 100,000
a month.

I am quitting my job to take care of my parents, so I would like to receive the amount I would receive if I worked 250,000 - 100,000 a month ＝ 150,000 a month from my mother for expenses
but she does not understand. Why do I have to pay
when I don't pay rent and I even pay for her meals ？
? She doesn't think about my life after my mother dies. What will she want me to do
when I'm 60 years old, taking care of her in her current condition?

My mother received an inheritance from my father and has money to spare. But she doesn't want to go into a nursing home.
Is my claim strange ？?

> I am so glad that my mother is my mother

It comes down to this. My parents are not wealthy, but when my son goes back to his hometown, they spend more money than usual on delicious fish and meat, and take us to various places. If I tried to give him an allowance, he would not accept it, telling me to spend it on my grandchildren. I left the allowance at my parents' house on the day I left Japan, but they were surprised and thanked me later.

I think there are many kinds of families.

That was while my mother was still able to move around a lot.
She must have taken pity on me as a single mom in a foreign country, and even gave me an allowance for my flight home. When I finally had enough money after raising my children, I started to give my mother an allowance. I give it to her when I go to Corona, and I send her money since I haven't been able to go to Corona for the past three years. She has a pension, but she would be happy to receive an allowance from her daughter. I do as much as I can. But if my mother could still afford it and I went home to take care of her, she would say it was for her care. The reality is that my siblings live with me, so that won't happen.

I think the bottom line is that it depends on how much your mother needed or wanted you.
Was she in a state where she needed you to come home, or
did she suggest that if you came home, she wouldn't have to pay for rent or food, and you would benefit
if you came home?

It depends on how much care you need.
It also depends on how much you didn't want to go back to Japan.
If you hated it so much that you decided to return just to take care of your mother,
she should be very grateful for that, and you can express that with money.
Your mother has completely derailed your plans for your life.

Some people may say that it's okay because she can get it from your estate, but
if she really was a very hard caregiver and returned home just to take care of you,
I think it makes sense that you should get the equivalent money every month now.
And since your mother is not in need of money,
it is not right to make her work for free.
For example, how much would it cost per month to hire a live-in housekeeper?
I think you should get that amount.

But if the nursing condition is not too bad and you have a lot of free time and
go out for fun, maybe your mother thinks that
rent and food are enough.
Maybe your mother thinks that living together saves money and is a win-win situation.

In any case, it is sad.
I also cared for my parents for a while.
In our case, I was the youngest child and had two older brothers, and since I had emigrated overseas,
it was decided before my death that much of my property would be given to my brothers.
I was surprised when they asked me to come back to take care of them.
My parents hated my brothers' wives.
And they were afraid that if I tried to return, my brothers would take their inheritance.
My brothers tried to persuade me not to return in various ways.
It causes strange friction between brothers and sisters.

It is really sad to think about it now.

You only get one shot at this in your life. I can't be filial anymore after they are gone. I don't want to have regrets.

I am considering studying abroad in Los Angeles in September of my junior year. I would like to know if it is possible to enter a high school in Los Angeles without a certificate of graduation from junior high school. I would also like to know the conditions under which a junior high school student can attend a public junior high school in Los Angeles. Thank you in advance.

I didn't know that the intersection of 237th st and Crenshaw prohibits going straight through from west to east （ I don't understand why it's prohibited to go straight through. ） I was ticketed.
I'm thinking of doing an online traffic school, but the online traffic school I took about 6 years ago was so easy that I could finish it in 30 minutes, but the online traffic school I took 3 years ago was broken up into chapters, The online traffic school I took 3 years ago was so easy that I could finish it in half an hour.
Do you know of anywhere that is easy enough to finish in 30 minutes or so ？?

FCI Japanese News on the morning of May 18

？
Did anyone see the FCI Japanese news broadcast on the morning of May 18? ？
In between the news footage, there was a voice that had nothing to do with the content of the news. I'm glad to see you again", and twice.
This voice had nothing to do with the news that was being broadcast at the time.
Is this a broadcast accident? ？
Was it on other people's TVs as well? ？
I didn't pay much attention the first time, but since it came in twice, it was like a psychic phenomenon and scared me a little. If anyone says they heard it too, I would be glad if you could respond.
If it was just in my house, it would be too scary ・ ・ ・

How to send packages from Hawaii at the lowest price

？
The last time I brought my stuff back from Hawaii by myself, I was charged a huge overage fee and it ended up being too heavy and not worth it.

Most of the contents are Hawaiian clothes, bags and souvenirs.
