- Instagram / kimono_mom Thank you guys for lots of questions! I answered questions about parenting, myself, relationships, and many other topics. This video has several subtitles. I hope you enjoy it in your language. Since I used a translator, they're unnatural. Thank you for your understanding!

I love her expression of "Sutan and I have known each other only for two years." She could have said "I've been raising Sutan only for two years." The way she expresses her relationship with her daughter is very beautiful😊💕

Yep! Especially if you think, the babies do not ask to be born. Nor do they choose the family they are born into. So treating them as humans who need to be discovered and learn to live together is like a "breath of fresh air" of philosophy.
This!!!
It's a normal way to talk about it in Japanese language.. It's a beautiful language really.. A lot of people don't understand such Japanese expressions or notice them for the nature of them.. If you pay attention really you'll find out it's a language full of emotions and meaning and carries out feelings or expresses them really well..
"We've only been together for two years so now I'm focusing on building trust between us rather than making her learn to be patient" That is such a great attitude, I really admire moe as a mother and as a human being.
Same! It's beautiful. I strive to be that way with my 6 month old baby girl.
@@dawnforlife Exactly, I made the mistake of expecting so much from my baby brothers when they were that age so it is really refreshing to see Moe prioritizing respecting her as a person first and building the trust between them
@@dyominichu5101 I fEEL you as I have a bro 14 years younger than me and I felt bad for being too strict with him when he was just a child. Now, I have learnt a lot and read a lot. So, I hope to be as respectful as I can with my baby girl.
So beautiful🖤
So much this, I'm working hard with my two young ones too! Trust is so important!!!
Scientifically speaking, "We've only been together for two years so now I'm focusing on building trust between us rather than making her learn to be patient" is the best thing to do. Our brains wire during early childhood and affect how we experience the rest of our lives. So instead of yelling and trying mainly to discipline when she's not grown enough to understand, planting the basis of states of security and trust is the best thing a parent can give to their children.
The thing is no parent wants to yell at their kids , but after a specific amount of time even adults loose their patience and end up scolding or yelling
you’ll understand once you have kids :)
@@shukrantpatil Where did I say parents yelled at their kids intentionally? I feel like you're projecting, which I understand.
Two facts can exist at the same time, it's the best thing to do not to yell, and it's so hard to patient and not yell. You can only continue trying your best.
@@shukrantpatil yOu'Ll uNdErStAnD oNcE yOu hAvE kIdS :) If I had a dollar for every time a parent says this bs
Well yeah it depends on the kid too. I was a really stubborn kid & got scolded a lot for it. So I don't blame my parents.
THis is very true, and children learn from modeled behavior. If she sees her mom keeping patience and calm even when there is a stressful situation, then Sutan understands better how to feel her own feelings and move forward also. It's definitely not easy (my own daughter is about two months older than Sutan, actually) so I really admire Moe's patience in general.
I was literally crying when you said "Thank you for being born". I'm not a parent but hearing this as a child myself really warms my heart. Imagine every parent in this world can show their grateful and respect like this to their kids not only as their children but also as human beings themselves... I'm so emotional
It's fun to know that Moe used to be boyish during her younger years cuz she effortlessly radiates beauty and feminity in all of her vlogs
@@spt241 what?
@@spt241 You ain't lying, I live in the US and it's going nuts.
@@shermanngjazz huh
@@spt241 bruh being boyish does not mean transgender
I grew out of my boyish clothes and attitude hehe now at 25 and becoming more and more feminine

Noted.
Our daughter just turned 18 and she’s living on her own in college now.
We’ve done many things wrong along the way. But one of my biggest mistake was working too much when she was young. I remembered not being able to go to her 1st year in kindergarten shows (she was 4 years old then). I was heart broken and I swore that I would never do that again. I left that job and found a different one that allows me to go to her school shows.
Seeing you enjoying time with her at her age confirmed for me how precious those years were. They will never return. I’m happy for you. I think you are doing the right thing.
がんばって！
🥺🥺
🥺🥺
🥺🥺 this is really touching
Ja, die Kinderzeit ist schnell vorbei und unvergleichlich.
Wow, I did so not expect Moto to be 48.
I thought he was around 35 or something.
But then again, Moe also looks, like she's in her early twenties.
@Twice World Domination No, Moe is 30. Her husband Moto is 48. 😊
@Twice World Domination No reason to apologize. 😊
What I admire most about Moe is that she doesn't run, or hide from her mistakes. Instead, she embrace her imperfection and try to improve herself by learning from it.
I really appreciate her honesty and words of wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing this, it means a lot.
I'm older than her and I too admire her grace in living her life :)
"No one knows the right way to raise a child, and if you love your child, everything is right" i freaking cried right there y'all. idk why
After a 2 days of contemplating on this comment i realized that i never experienced this kind of love from my parents. I guess i’m just longing for a parental love like this
Same...
Not all parents show their love or give attention and they expect the kids to do the same for them. But it's not possible for the kids to do that since they don't even feel it from their parents from the beginning :(
I also never received this kind of parental love. Mine was really negative and messed me up a bit. But I was able to finally find that kind of parental love when I got to know JESUS. Not trying to convert anyone, this was just my personal experience. That love from Jesus can't be expressed well in words.
@@patriciaangelical7831 Same here. Especially such maternal love like this. Sutan will be a very good human being & (hopefully) a good mother too, thanks to her mom who was strong & supported her. Mine never did. She just forces everything on me
Dear Kimono, I'm obsessed with the videos about Sutan & you. You are such an open-minded lady, a patient & respectful mom. I watched almost all your videos and I can't help watching them again and again. I'm a Ph.D. student on children's language development, so I'm very very interested in how you and Sutan interact with your words, gestures, and even facial expressions. Your videos are very valuable to researchers who study child language like me :-)
Me too, I learned a lot from her videos about parenting.
@@ThuLe-VN me too and I dont even have children
Cutest thing ever when she’s talking about just wanting to be her equal and have mutual respect 🥺
I never realized there was an 18 year difference between you and your husband, Moto. It's interesting how you weren't looking for love and yet it found you. How he allowed you to be yourself and accepted you as you are instead of trying to force you into a societal mold. That's so important for both partners to accept each other that way. That relationship should help Sutan a lot as she grows up.
Right? He does not look 48! They get along so well
@@audrey.c1 How did 47 yr old guy made a baby? His fertility must be strong!
@@joyc9323 i am trying at age 39, still cannot able to. Wife is age 27. Something wrong with fertility? As i eat walnut and soya milk a lot.
@@joyc9323 ok thanks.
@@backpackingvillager1480 Soy when taken excessively can mess with our hormones. Something you can consider looking into but always work with a professional of course :) I got my younger bro when my dad was 52 and my husband is 45 when we got our baby girl who is now 6 month's old. Everything is possible, so reduce stress and go with the flow 💛
Sutan's expression on the thumbnail is just overly cute 🙂
Building trust is so important when they are little. When they get into their pre-adolescent and teen years, that underlying trust plays such a big role. You may not see it from day to day, but when your child comes to you needing you, it is such a big reward.
Hi Moe. It's 2.13am and I'm watching your video. When I first came across your videos I found that they were so raw and real about daily life as a housewife and a toddler. Thank you so much for your all your hard work and dedication. I also follow many of the principles with my child that I recognise in your parenting style with Sutan. It's exhausting but it's worth it. I also find that when I'm tired and watching a clip of you interacting with your child inspires and injects energy to follow through on my own aspirations as a parent. Take care
It's so sweet to see you and Sutan just enjoying each other company. I like how you said "we've been together for 2 years". Sometimes we hold babies and how they act with such high standards. They are just learning this new world, experiencing it, growing. It's so sweet to see her make new faces or have some more "grown up" reactions.
Sutan is so expressive for her age! That is such a great thing to see, she def learned that from her parents ♥️
as a certified TEFL teacher, my best tip for you is to think in the language you're trying to learn, you'll be comfortable with speaking English in no time if you try to talk to yourself and think in English all day :)
I think by loving Sutan the way you do, you are doing more for society than most people ever will.
Sutan is the best co-host ever..... love it during the natto scene ...think she going to have her own channel one day
I loved Sutan's little "follow me" to show off her toys. She's like a tiny adult😆
Sutan is treated like an adult, so she behaves like an adult ❤️ that's the reault od Moe's respect to her little girl 😘
I'm an 18 year old girl from India and your videos are the highlight of my weekends and are a breather which helps me get away from the stress which piles up from school on weekdays. Your videos are a delight to watch and your views on parenting and respecting little Sutan as a person first is so inspirational and super motivating! I'm really glad I came across your channel on UA-cam. Lots of love and good luck to you and your family! P.S. Watching videos in another language often helps with the process of learning a foreign language:)
the part where you talk about femininity and masculinity really touched me, because I struggled it a lot. I was very insecure about myself because i feel like I am not feminine enough, it took me years to realise there is nothing wrong with myself, i am me and there is not only one way to be a woman. i have my 'masculine' and 'feminine' side and it is totally ok.
as someone with an abusive family situation, hearing your message to adult sutan made me cry happy tears. you're such a beautiful person inside and out, and sutan is blessed to have you as her mother ♥
I truly hope you find happiness and love out there and I’m sorry for what you experienced. Your comment alone says so much about you. I see a kindhearted person I hope you live a life of peace and love.
@@alondraflores6869 thank you so much :') ♥♥♥
As someone who also has same kind of family, we'll be happy because we deserve that and because we know what not to do. 🥰
if your family abuses you , then abuse your family back lolol
i do that , and now everybody in my family thinks twice before arguing with me =_=
Sending love and a prayers that you will create your own happiness and be blessed with the love you truly deserve!
Listening to you talk about how you broke down gender norms and expectations in a very traditional society, and finding Moto who respects you for who you are was so interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I'll be honest with a thought of mine, from what people used to tell me about what the Japanese people are like I had a very stereotyped view of the Japanese people. I always thought they were cooler and more rigorous about creation, and now seeing someone who is from Japan, listening to their thoughts, I see how much we have a wrong view of people of many nationalities. Now I learned not to have any more stereotypes! I really like your channel and I really like this Q&A. You bring a feeling of comfort through your videos. ^^
Muchas Gracias Amigo
Como Estas
Senora muy Hermosa 🌼🌼☕
That was the most honest and genuine Q&A I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Straight from the heart and unfiltered. This is why we enjoy seeing you and your family’s lives and send peace and love your way.
A Kimono Mom cookbook??? Take my money and put me on the waiting list!!💜💜
Same here!
💖💖🎉 I'll be in line!
*I think she has a great attitude for raising babies. I'm learning Japanese recipes(easy to follow) and mothers' tip through this channel. Thank you, Moe&Sutan!* 😊
Moe was born to be a UA-camr! After almost a year, your channel got almost 1M subscribers, amazing good job!
It‘s just incredible how smart she is, especially when it comes to life itself. Whether shes talking bout raising her child and growing as mother or questions that consider all of us: like depression and setting goals. She is a very balanced and humble human being, who is capable of reflecting herself in a healthy way. We need more people like moe!
Sutan's expressions 👌😂😂😂
I’m really surprised to hear about her femininity struggles, because for me she’s the epitome of femininity. She’s calm, and humble and so patient and nurturing and she has this energy... And now I hear that she wanted to be a boy as a kid... I also would like to say that just because you have a job doesn’t make you “part” of a society more than a housewife. Having a job most of the time means you have a shitty boss, shitty work colleagues and you can’t even spend time with the people you love. You’re doing much more for society raising and loving your child than leaving her to other strangers to take care... Keep going, we love you, Moe :)
I can relate to her struggle. I feel like in society, having a job is still considered to contribute more to society than parenting does, even though that's not true. Also if you work the rewards you get are tangible (money, praise, vacation time) but when it comes to raising your child the work is tedious and the reward you get is to see your child grow and learn. This process is so gradual that if you don't pay attention to it, you don't acually see the fruits of your labour, which makes it easier to not notice it and feel like you're not doing anything while working 24/7.
Yeah, I think in Poland we also have attitude that no matter how many children you have, you are lazy if you don't have a job (because, obviously, running a house is not work).
What is feminity, actually? Moe is graceful, calm and cheerful but those traits are not just for girls. She is also caring but that's a parental trait (Moto is caring as well!). For me, Moe seems authentic, pristine. What did those people expect her to be! 😑
She is doing the biggest service to society because she is raising its future. A well loved and taken care of child is the gift to society.
@@sarahdaniel9912 Yes, exactly, was just about to comment this in response. Moe is doing the most essential job of all!
then good luck finding a partner who wants a relationship model like hers, some men/women won't date someone who wants a relationship model where they don't plan to work after marriage/kids. also if you actually force someone into this kind of relationship model, you might as well prepare to go back to working with shitty colleagues and boss :)
I LOVE your videos and I watch everyone! I'm a grandmother now but I sooo remember the thoughts and emotions you are experiencing now when I was a young mom. Please remember that EVERYTHING CHANGES. It always does and with that in mind, take each day, each experience one at a time -- the good, the bad -- it will always change. Live in the moment as best you can. And YES! I would SOOO BUY YOUR COOKBOOK!! Blessings!
I love when Moe speaks her mind and shares it, she seems very genuine and honest with a very positive perspective. Keep it up! It's nice seeing Kimono Mom grow over the year
I loved how you were being so open in the end, I hope you know that your sincerity helps a lot of people to carry on and keep looking for happiness. Thank you so much for your videos, they bring light into these dark times!
Woah!! I litteraly told my boyfriend that I watched your latest video and didn't expect you to open up so much. This is very generous of yourself, Moe! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on femininity, your feelings toward being a house wife, your previous relationship... I didn't think I could appreciate you more, but I was wrong! 💕
This channel has got to have the most inspiring, down to earth, and educating videos ever. You don't just make fun videos, but really a lot of people can connect to, and really learn from all the things you say as a woman, a mother, a wife, and as a person. Love you Kimono Mom!!! Looking forward to more of your milestones!!!!
Although I'm not a parent or married yet, I find that you are so relatable in many ways. It feels like I'm just hanging out with my big sister and I can learn so much from the things you share. I really admire your mindset and I want to say that you're doing amazing and thank you so much
I can listen to her talk all day. I can tell that the experiences she went through in life really shaped who she is today. She was able to learn and grow as a person through each and every hardship she has been through. Thank you for existing Kimono mom 🥰🥰
Do ya’ll think Moto-san is watching Moe’s videos on a daily basis just to check on her? That would be so cute
it takes her some days to edit before she uploads
Ti sto seguendo da un po'.. Sei molto graziosa e ascoltare la tua voce mi fa capire molto quello che dici, grazie per l'italiano, di italiani siamo in molti. Grazie 🙏
I remember when I first saw Paolo’s video with you, I was so captivated and I’m so glad you decided to start your own channel Moe! We can feel your joy and excitement through the videos you upload! Thank you for everything you share with us 🥰🥰 lots of love from Australia
Hearing you talk about your past as well as your goals has been so lovely, Moe! You are such an inspiration to me as a young woman who longs to be a mother. I can really relate to you about the difficulty of learning a language. I have been trying to learn Japanese for a year now and some days it seems like I haven’t learned a thing. We will both get there someday! I wish you success in all that you do :)
for the first time in my life in 20 years, I feel like " whoaa I hope one day I'll have the chance to be a mom " I watch a few of your videos and I start to see parenting differently ...it makes me question a lot of things that I thought I was certain about
The fact that this video was so open and honest about your experiences was really refreshing. I rarely ever like videos, much less comment on them, but the amount of rawness you have shown without over sharing made it really enjoyable. I felt like I finished this video mirroring your positive attitude and I just wanted you to know that.
Moe, you are such an interesting, intelligent and wonderful person. The fact that you treat Sutan as an equal is so beautiful, and such a good lesson to all of us when it comes to speaking to children. What you said about depression and allowing yourself to reach that rock bottom really spoke to me. Thank you for sharing so much with your viewers!
I absolutely loved this video. Your way of approaching life and parenting is honestly so inspiring. I am sure I am not the only person that would like to see more sit-down videos like this one. I feel like I am getting to know another side of you and gaining more wisdom all at once!
I'm glad you followed your gut and made youtube your fulltime job. Just when you thought you were disconnected with society, you tried youtube and now, you're connected with the world.
We love you Kimono Mom!
Totally agree! That's why I find it somewhat insensitive that there were a lot of questions asking Moe "if she will go back to work" once Sutan is a little older. The question kind of implies that she isn't working right now although she already is! She takes care of her baby all day while managing a youtube channel, editing videos herself and taking English classes! How is that not working? Why should she go back to a normal office job when she already earns a decent amount of money with her channel and probably pays more taxes than she did previously.
She was not good at smiling? I doubt. Whenever she smiles, it is a genuine one and not pretending. Love the way she laughs too.
Thank you for being so open when answering the questions! I really love your videos! You’re doing an awesome job and being yourself is always the best way to do things :) you inspire me
I would really love it if you make a cooking book about the recipes you show in your videos!
I love your advice on if we are depressed. Throughout the years I noticed things about myself when I am depressed that I completely have no motivation to do anything. I had people telling me to try do something to get my mind off the depressed feeling but after a while I realized the best way for me to deal with it is to fully embrace the depressed feeling. Sometimes i feel worried if its good to do so. So for you to say "If you're depressed, be depressed all the way" makes me feel so much better about it. And you are right. Once I embrace the feeling, then I can think back on how to move forward. Thank you for saying so. It may be simple to some but hearing you say it lifts a load of my shoulders. I truly respect you.
I raised my girls similar to how you are with Sutan talking to them about everything. Now they are grown and we have a good equal relationship where they can come to me for anything and not feel awkward or worried to talk to me. I am really enjoying your channel and hope one day to be able to say more than the few words that you and Sutan have taught me. Liked the comparison of your energy level to a video game. You are doing a great job on UA-cam and as a mom. Have a lovely week.
Their dynamics feel like two bestfriends being goofy together except one is a todler. Lol
Sutan is so cute.
I'm same age as you and have a son one year younger than Sutan :). You've been a joy to watch, and I learn a lot about parenting/being a mom through your videos too! Thank you for answering all these questions - feels like a girls night out where you can share so many things with us haha. Take Care ~ Ganbatte!
Thank you for answering these questions! I don't know if I will ever have a family, but you're really an inspiration to me! You're so patient, hard working and caring. Such a great mom and human! I always look forward to your new videos
"I dont want to have the whole house full of Anpanman" made me laugh so much
it's so inspiring hearing about moe and moto's relationship. the fact that they support each other bc they know they are both doing the things they want to do and how they treat each other as equals is really beautiful.
thank you for talking about yourself so spontaneously. it was important because I am going through a period of stress and change and I feel abandoned and alone. your advice gives me strength. thank you so much
I couldn’t begin to explain how grateful I am to have found your channel and watch you not only grow as a person parenting Sutan, and watching her grow, but also hear your life stories/advice/and way of life. you’re so inspiring and you always add a bright light to my day. I know how hard it must be to be a housewife parenting a child while juggling youtube and other situations as well, so I wanted to say that we all appreciate you and truly love you for showing the raw of living that sort of life. thank you for everything you do.
With love: from Florida in the U.S. 💞
Moe san, I totally agree with you. 'When we are depressed, just be depressed, but after that, think what should we do?' and 'when you are feeling low and useless, keep smiling and cleaning'... those are what I do, Moe san.. I am so happy I can share similar things like this with you. Apparently,
I am not alone. Thank you for your video
As a kid i just felt the same way as you did, Moe! If anyone told me i couldn't do something because i was a girl, i would step forward and do it, just to prove them wrong! I thought i needed to be more "manly" in order to get validation... But when i reached teen years i tried to be more feminine (for boys ugh 😂) and ended up enjoying that side of me... Being feminine or masculine doesn't tell your worth as a human being, and no one should feel any less for being one or other!
Omg this is exactly me
women tend to think that masculine behaviour is superior to feminine behaviour ughhhhhhhh both have their own beauty duh
also , because you are a girl , people also tend to not have any big expectations from you compared to what they expect from us guys
for example my younger sister ( 2 years apart ) chills the entire day and does not study much
on the other hand i have been studying 12 hours a day ( for 2 years now ) to get into the top colleges of my country so that i can get the best job out there in my field which would make me capable of starting a family and live a comfy life ....i sometimes ask my sister as per why is she not worried about her future and she's just like " haha , i have to just find a good husband"
bruhhhhhhhhhh
The whole video was a ride with surprises at every corner. Thank you, Moe. I discovered your channel because I watch way too many cooking videos, and I loved your relaxed and accepting attitude from the first moment.
This video here.. I don't even know what to say. You feel so close and real and open and honest, and the way you talk about connecting socially via youtube, and vulnerability and the overall journey of being a woman and a mother and a parent, .. that really touched me. I admire you for being so open with us, and about sharing your experiences, and you really inspire me to be more gentle with myself throughout my own experiences in life.
In a world of cynical things it’s so refreshing and inspiring to watch both of you grow and learn. Please know you are appreciated and loved.
Thank you for being the older sister I never had, Moe. Your words comfort me beyond imagination, and I feel as though we've sat down and talked over a cup of tea together.
Moe, your English is definitely getting better, even if you have to look words / pronunciations up every now and then! My mum has been living in the UK for more than 26 years and her English is still sub-par and is nowhere near as good as yours is 🤣
Doing what you are good at just makes life easier, i feel genuinely happy for you!
This is such a beautiful video. Moe you are so wise and inspiring. I love how you embrace past mistakes to learn from them instead of hiding them. You are the best role model 🥺
Being emotionally transparent with your child (with common sense obviously there should be boundaries for more complex or adult emotions) is so important and it makes me so happy that you're teaching your child healthy emotional expression!!!
This is coming from someone with a very strained relationship with my mother due to her unwillingness to address her emotions, so I'm so glad you're doing this!
@@Tsubvn
Exactly. I had no emotional intelligence growing up. Still struggling.
When Moe said Sutan and I have only known each other for two years...🌸 Loved this. She really sees Sutan not just as a kid, but as a soul deserving of the same respect and understanding that any human would want. 🌸❤️🌸❤️🌸
I loved everything you said in this video, we are around the same age yet you are so much wiser :') I think it's beautiful that you said having Sutan made every experience you've had meaningful and fateful. I've seen your videos on my recommended videos on the home page but didn't open them, it wasn't until last night that I properly watched them, and I fell in love with your personality, smile and your relationship with your daughter. You are such an inspiring presence! Your gut feeling telling you you can do youtube was totally right!
Hello, I just want to say UA-cam recommended your videos so I started watching them, honestly, they make me cry not sad tears but happy ones. My childhood was nice and peaceful so it's not sadness for the lack of that makes sense. It's that your videos give me hope for myself, that should be wise in choosing my partner, yes but I shouldn't give up being me. Your relationship with your daughter is so pure. I hope you continue making videos to reach the generations and even inform us about this simple and humble lifestyle. So Thank you, Honeslty.
always surprised me again and again how gorgeous Moe is....
I absolutely love this video, i love how it wasn’t just a forced sit down but more like little bits of your day ! I hope you enjoying talking to us as much as we enjoyed listening and watching you 💕 I relate to how unfair I felt growing up as a woman, for that same reason I sometimes feel like having kids and being a mom is “losing”, I wish society would improve. You absolutely inspire me to just do my best no matter the way I do it.
You are so wise! I have a daughter who is almost 1.5 years old and it is so hard to never seem to have time to do things for yourself. But you have inspired me to really try my best not to forget the things that make me happy. Ganbarimasu!
Of your videos, this is one of the best I have seen. The concept of respecting a child is SO important. And, ha ha ha, definitely, do not worry about your skin. It is perfect!
I am here just to tell you... You are my inspiration for be a good person, woman, wife, mom and friend. Thank you!!
YES ME TOO💗
Me too
YESSS
I find your parenting methods interesting. I am turning thirty this year and I have two boys. You are an inspiration with raising her like you do.
I find them very interesting as well. I am 27 and I would love to be a mother. What parenting methods inspire you in general? I would love to know, blessed be
@@Alesanascreamokid I love kimono mom's approach to parenting. Having to handle two children with disabilities is hard. Parenting is hard as well.
@@crazybooklady2104 That is very true
Thank you so much for these last two videos. You are doing extremely well in raising Sutan and putting out these videos, building something for yourself. Looking forward to seeing one day when you send her off to school for the first time and have all this time to do more. :)
Hi Moe! I am a new mom from the US and I wanted to say I draw so much inspiration from you as a mother. Your attitude and how you treasure your relationship with Sutan and treat her as an equal is exactly how I want to be with my little boy. Whenever I'm feeling bad as a mother, I watch your vlogs and they always help me feel normal and not so alone❤ thank you!
It's very interesting how you allow Sutan to express her desires and feelings! This is extremely important for her to grow in a healthy environment and not hold her anger, fear, happiness and sadness... I truly appreciated how you reflect her emotions and take them into consideration!
With that little red bow in her hair, Sutan remind me of Ronald Dahl’s character “Matilda”. She also seems to be just as cheeky. I’m enjoying seeing her on camera.
Moe, listening to you in this video made me feel SO much admiration for you. This was a really interesting insight into your life story so far and I wanted to say thank you for being so honest and open. Your voice is important, grounding and touching. You do you Kimono Mom, I love to listen and learn from you!
P.S I used to coach English conversation classes in Tokyo (I'm now teaching young children in the UK) and think that you are doing a great job learning English whilst taking care of Sutan. Keep it up ; ) xoxoxo
I am so thankful for you taking about your experience growing up, relationship to work, masculinity, femininity. It can be something so personal, thank you for sharing your experiences with us! 💖💖💖
"We live in the same space all the time, so it's important for us to be comfortable with each other". I love this!
Often Asian families (I know that this also happens elsewhere but I can only speak for what I know) seem to have a master plan set out for their children and they follow this rigidly from the child's birth. This often leads to high expectations, hard love, and pressure from a young age. However, a child's younger years, especially those before starting school, are so crucial to their mental and intellectual well-being AND to their relationships. So, later on, in many families, instead of working with their children to achieve their collective goals, the children end up working for the parents to achieve the parent's goals... From personal experience, even after my parent's parenting style changed while I was in high school, it has taken years to mend, re-establish and "re-learn" how to have a healthy, functioning parent-child relationship. Even now, we're still reluctant to share things, even serious problems, with our parents, and we seem to inadvertently keep things from their too. 😢 All in all, I really admire Moe for her open-minded parenting style even at such a young age. ❤️
Casual videos like this is also great because you’re an interesting person with so many experiences for your age, this is by far the wholesome channel on UA-cam
I love how candid this video is. Being a stay at home mom for me is a blessing but really consuming job. I do share the same sentiment as you where being at home you feel disconnect from the society. I do feel sometime all my time are devoted to my baby, doting her around all day. I want to do my things too, you know. It might sound so privilege to be able to say so, alas. I think I accomplished so little in everyday task, I'm I doing things wrong? Bad time management? . Watching your video make me at ease as we share the same struggle to some degree. Thank you so much for sharing a slice of your life with another fellow human. Much love
I really appreciate that you are so brave and honest to share your story. Thank you Moe, you are doing a great work!
And about the English part, don't worry about it. Your content and stories are amazing and I believe we want to be on this journey with you, seeing you grow and learn new skills.
Sutan is just too cute
Exactly
I grew up wanting to be a boy for that reason too. I'm really, REALLY glad you found Moto. You deserve some who loves and treats you as equal for exactly who you are because you are a wonderful person.
It’s so refreshing to hear all your answers. Your outlook on life and overall perspective is so humble and modest and genuinely sincere. So happy to have found your channel! ♥︎
You are such a great mom!! I truly need more videos like this especially the parenting side of it! You are such a inspiration! 🥰
I appreciate your attitude towards Sutan; children are not stupid, they are just unexperienced, and they learn from what others do, not from what others say (especially, when they are just learning to speak).
My advice for learning a language is to speak and write a lot in the language you want to learn. Find someone you can speak with (on the Internet or real life) and watch English videos with subtitles. Very important: Don't be shy, it's not embarrassing at all to make mistakes, so when you talk to a person, express yourself as much as you can, with gestures as well. Grammar is not as important while doing this, because you're learning the grammar already in your courses, and you will eventually implement it in your speech. Conversation is a very practical thing so you have to go out of your way and actually find someone to talk to.
That's all I can tell you, as a German, Russian and English speaker.
This must be one of the BEST (accidental) parenting videos I've ever watched on UA-cam... thank you so much for sharing your no-nonsense wisdom, authenticity, and sincerity and an inspiration to us all mothers! Greetings from Germany and a current mom of a 2.5year old. Trust and mutual respect is so important. Thank you for the reminder!
Honestly, I love how you openly share your experiences with us. It is important that we have people around us that support us and accept us wholeheartedly and with whom we can be vulnerable. I can see from what you`ve said that you experienced various difficulties in your life as well, just as my five year older than you self :D And this life experience is also part of your own unique beauty and value. Love you so much! Greetings from Berlin
Cooking and parenting: what a great combination. I still cook with my daughter. She is 21 and has a life of her own but we meet and cook and talk. We live in Spain and the greatest gift I gave her was teaching her English. My Spanish and Catalan took a back seat for 20 years but it was worth it. Teach Sutan some English words and let her say them on your video.
No worries. Even I talk too much too.
Moe, when I watch your videos I’m always either smiling, crying or both. I think I speak on behalf of everyone here that you’re doing an amazing job.
As for contributing to society, raising Sutan and hopefully her future siblings to be the best human beings is doing far more than most people.
Thank you for such wonderful content 💕🌸
This has been my favorite video to date, and I love all your videos! Your honesty and Sutan’s reactions made it absolutely perfect. Thank you for talking about serious topics like gender roles and mental health!
