It’s difficult to control things that are out of control. Other human beings are definitely one of those things. This also applies to family.

This weekend, my older daughter stole money from my wife’s wallet. This wasn’t the first time; it was actually the second. We scolded her and talked to her at length about why stealing money is wrong. It will break the trust between us and make living together difficult.

Her motivation isn’t the point. She bought a lot of Genshin character goods, such as can badges.

I even told her she wasn’t good at being bad and that I was much better at it even when I was 10. But I’m not sure how I can change her mind, as she is an independent human being, even though she is still just a girl.

One thing’s for sure: I can’t give up on her. My ultimate wish is for my daughter’s happiness, but parenting is quite difficult. Just thinking about it won’t bring the answers.

I bought a new refrigerator with my wife this weekend.
The current one is almost 12 years old, and a bit too small to use with a family of 4.
The new one is 1.5 times spacious.

This time, I bought it from the electronics retailer, Bic Camera.
Usually, I use internet shopping as it’s convenient and cheaper in most cases.

But a refrigerator is a kind of big appliance. There are several things to consider, and it’s a lot to handle by myself.
I just feel like maybe we can consult with the seller first.
Actually, the experience was good. Also, the price they suggested is competitive, even compared with internet shops.

The price was 29M yen, but with a 10-year warranty.
I’m looking forward to using it. A bigger freezer will be super useful.
