Best Dad I've Seen At Work
Some weeks ago, I saw the world’s best dad. He came in for his newborn son and was enrolling the baby to our program. For my work, I generally see a single mom struggling to take care of her kids on her own. It’s a sad story that I see repeated. It seems comical to encourage her to breastfeed her newborn when she needs to return to work within 2 weeks. If she doesn't, she may lose her job. Making matters worse, I rarely see the father come along. When I ask about him, I see flashes of regret followed by a combination of words that tells me he’s not around. But this man came in, and although I did not see him, the bits and pieces I heard him say warmed my heart. It’s rare seeing men in our centers let alone a man coming in for breastfeeding help for his wife. As he took out pictures of his wife’s breastfeeding latch & positions, we asked why he was making such an effort and he said, “I want him to grow big like me, or even bigger”, and “Why shouldn’t I? He’s my son”. This surprised us.
This event makes me sad a little because he is an anomaly in my reality. I often see a single mom with 3 or 4 small children all born about 1 year apart. They usually have disinterested looks on their faces. As I counsel the mothers about healthy eating, most of them look like they’re not listening. Generally their kids are going wild as well. This leads me to believe they may have something else on their mind because their lives are so unstable. It’s disheartening, so when this dad came in, it brightened my day like no other. I hope more like him show up in the future.
Clover's Comprehensive Manga Reading List
This is my manga reading list recommendation. It is always being updated. Check back often to see new things added to the list! Newest ones will be on the top.
Thought it was gonna be cliche, but it is character driven and fun to read.
This is the whole package - fantasy, time-travel, reincarnation, loyal characters, my favorite so far
Gender blender - strong female lead, reverse roles, virual reality mmorpg
There's even a completed manga for it!
Same author as 1/2 Prince - the Legend of Sun Knight was something I was obsessed with a while back; set in middle ages, it's really about belonging to a group, protecting your loved ones, and being a demon king!?
The Promised Neverland - because it's about Neverland
It's like a battle royale
It's been compared to Naruto...but I think Naruto is better
OMG, finally an OP male lead
Gender bender's my favorite catagorie
The best time killer because it's so long!
It's complicated..a lie for the sake of another, a white lie
She's so devious!!
Can't believed it finished!
I'm Going To Fan Service Myself
If i’m proud of anything, it’s me being frank about myself. So I’m letting it be known I'm planning to have breast enlargement surgery soon in mid February. Why you ask? I want to look cute in outfits I own. That’s all! Really!
Okay, okay... they say size doesn’t matter, but I sometimes don’t know about that. In anime (a favorite hobby of mine), flat chested women are comically portrayed as being jealous or bitter of others with much endowed breasts, and in my observation it reflects real life as well.
Regardless of pop culture, movies, anime or other references - the same theme keeps recurring. That girls with the larger breasts tend to get more attention from everyone (for good or bad) and girls with the flatter breasts tend to just blend in with the background. Either way it's attention getting for no extra effort, and attention keeping for no other reasons. I don't want to cite a single source as being evidence to my point, but take a look at this video clip if you haven't seen it already. You may not like the message, but it's there. It's always been.
Will I become happier or more fulfilled after my surgery? Who knows. But I can’t wait to be able to finally fill out my favorite dresses for once.
c'est la vie!
