kawaii desu !:rheart:
and you are born in america, right? could you imagine to go back, someday? do you love japan and your life there? |
Thank you.
Yes, I was born in the US, but no - I cannot imagine ever going back. I most certainly do not want to raise a child in the US. I am very happy and satisfied with my life here. Oh, and another picture of my son.  Not only is he cute, but he ranks within the 30 smallest surviving *male* infants in the world. |
ah, o.k. he s so cute!!!
good work ;) what do you think is the reason because of the birthrate is sinking in japan? why dont japanese people want to make babies? in germany its a problem aswell! people here dont have enough jobs, money.. many are selfish i think. i dont know. how is it in japan in your opinion? |
I believe I posted quite a long post about my feelings in regard to the falling birthrate... But it seems to have disappeared. I did a search but it`s nowhere to be found.
Basically, there are too many financial demands. People in Japan like to feel very financially safe before having a child, but it`s quite hard to do so. As raising a child does cost money, people don`t want to end up not being able to afford to do so... So they wait. And wait... |
yeah it s the same in germany. they also want to make kareer here.
they want a selfrealization thats understandable... thanks for searching for the post! can i ask how old you are ? how is the name of your son? |
No, I don`t mean they want a career. I mean that they want financial stability. That has very little to do with whether the women have careers.
The ideal here is for the mother to *not* work after she has a child. Society pushes that. But often the husband doesn`t make enough money alone to afford all the education a child needs... So the wife has no *choice* but to work - in most cases, she would prefer not to... Actually, until there is enough money to quite working, a lot of couples don`t marry at all. It`s pretty common to have the first child in the year after getting married, so there is pressure to do so. If you can`t afford it though, you can`t afford it. I`m 26, and my son`s name is Motoki. |
o.k. i mean only the thing that in germany and in japan both think that its better to have saved money before become a child.
in germany they want also to make karreer and selfrealization. in japan i didn t know. but know i know;) and do you want another child? |
Yes, I do. But due to some very unfortunate circumstances, I may never be able to have another.
Motoki was born at 6 months, and weighed just over 400g. Only. That is not an experience I would like to repeat. |
oh...
i´ m awfully sorry, if i m allowed to say that. |
