of course i can, it's my blog. :P
ok, so anyway, on friday i wanted to go to the onsen. we just sit here and sweat you know. sure, we can wash up here for free, but the local onsen has a sauna and an accompanying unheated pool. not that i planned on going in the sauna, i hate them, but the cold bath sounded great. plus, they have a 'sleeping bath' which is a shallow bath one can lie back in, and the water isn't as hot as the others. yoshi had actually come home rather early, and after an initial protest, he agreed. i was preparing our towels and underwear, though, when i asked him whether or not he would take hiro with him. he refused, saying that hiro would probably cry the whole time. i said, 'fine, then i don't want to go.' and so we didn't. ugh. hiro cries with me, and at thirty-five and a half weeks pregnant i didn't want to deal with it!!! but i did want to relax my tired body (especially my aching back and joints) in some hot spring water....*sigh*
yoshi's family came on monday (for summer vacation i guess.) next weekend is the chonan's eldest son's wedding (FIL's eldest brother's son) (oh, and that link kind of defines the word chonan, but also goes to some writing by gaijn mama) and yoshi needed a new suit, so he and his family were going to a local department store. i practically had to beg him to take hiro (hey, i have him all the time and have to take him shopping, plus yoshi's mom was going so what's the problem??) as he was leaving, my lovely (not) husband told me to turn off the air conditioner because using it for just one person was wasteful. excuse me?? i told him it was hot, i am hot and besides, there are two of us here as i rubbed my belly. (could i be more pathetic??) well, i didn't turn off the air conditioner off as soon as they were gone...

Good for you!
I'm going to shove some chopsticks up his nose the next time I see him.
Guys are really stupid sometimes, aren't they?
My husband is chonan. Mostly I don't have a problem with it, tho. (Nice MIL)
Totally good for you! : )
Fwiw, my husband is chonan as well. He's the first born son, of a first born son, of a first born son, to infinity, ha ha ha!
The one good thing about my in-laws is they don't expect for my husband to take care of them automatically just because he's first born/chonan. His parents (my fil has been in the hospital for the past couple years) but my in-laws both are very independent and my mil loves living in Osaka, she'd never leave Osaka. She has a huge family. Her mother is alive as well (Noboru's grandma). My mil, runs her restaurant and other financial ventures she has. She travels a lot for pleasure. She'd never want to live with Noboru and I. Which is so totally fine by me. She'd never want to live with my bil Jun and his wife either. She's enjoys her space and privacy and her independence. She's genki and will probably live to be 110 years old easily.She's closest with my sister in law Kaori and my sil lives with my mil, at my mother in laws house. Since she split with her American husband last year. Kaori will be the one taking care of my mother in law, no doubt. And I wouldn't turn her away of course. I just know my mil and she'd feel much more comfortable being cared for by her daughter. Noboru and Jun both know this already as well.
Kaori needs a place to stay and help raising her two kids.So she benefits living with my mil. And my mil is never lonely thanks to Kaori living there and plus she gets to watch her two grandkids grow up, right before her eyes! It's a win win situation for my mother in law and my sister in law.
Meanwhile Jun is free to marry and he just bought his very first condo. Granted he's not chonan but you know what I mean. So he's out living his life and enjoying it. Noboru is married with me and we are out enjoying our life, and free to live in our own home.
Everyone's happy with the way it all worked out.
