    Actually I am struggling to balance work and family time right now. It is because Moto has this mindset that we are not giving up, we are moving forward and trying to figure out what style works best for our family. Thank you Moto for always being with me in my thoughts, thank you Sutan for giving us a reason to keep trying, and thank you so much Kimonoko for supporting our family!🥰❤

      Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary. I think there is a long tradition in Japan, to have a family business and share the responsibilities. When I watch 1930's Jidaigeki films, there are people who run inns, stores, restaurants, etc., as a family. I hope that Japan maintains traditions, while evolving with the times. I hope that I can visit the Kimono Mom store when I visit Japan next.

      I remember the first videos. When KimonoMom was doing cooking video guides while her baby was sleeping. Mom had to be extra careful and quiet not to wake the little baby girl.
      It was so cute and probably captured many other viewers at the time.
      The little daughter is really cute! But also the story about her husband and how they found eachother and grown together is really cute too.
      All love to you all ❤

    This video gave me hope. At 45, I gave up the idea of marriage and being a father. Maybe I shouldn't. Moto made great points. I was raised in a traditional home similar to what he described; husband works, wife cooks, and cleans. That's okay, if both agree. But I feel like Moto that times are changing. If she had a difficult day, I'll make dinner & clean the kitchen. Love and appreciation can be shown in more ways than just intimacy.

      Please don't give up! If you are someone who believe in this kind of a family dynamic, then your age might play in your favor actually. With age, you are more likely to have a secure, more advanced career, that is going to allow you to become the provider of the family, allowing your wife to become a homemaker, and also to raise many children. Years also bring maturity, and you are going to need a lot as the head of the family to guide your loved ones.

      Why get married and have kids? Pressure from society? Religious beliefs? I’m in my 40s, don’t want to get married and never wanted kids. Been with my girlfriend for 13 years, she doesn’t want to get married nor have kids either. You’ll have a ton more money saved up when you retire and then you can travel the world. But hey, if you want kids, prepare to pay for everything for at least 18 years. You’ll be in your 60s. Good luck!

    Normally, I would say 18 years is too much of an age difference but seeing how hardworking and supportive Moto is, I think the most important thing is not age but how mature the man is for a relationship and family life to work out. Nowadays, people don't get married nor have children because if they do so, women have to bear the majority of the responsibility. Society pushes more and more responsibilities onto women under the pretense of "female empowerment" whereas men take on less and less responsibility. As a result, we see 35 year old man-childs and tired, worn-out women taking care of their grown-up husbands on top of their kids and working at the same time.

    • @brahtrumpwonbigly7309
      @brahtrumpwonbigly7309 8 місяців тому

      Quit the opposite. Men are forced to take on less responsibility and in turn flounder in life, while women are told taking on responsibility that should be the man's is the only way to beat the patriarchy, so they avoid marriage and children in exchange for careers, and when they do have a family, try to be the heads of the household and choose men who will accept a role as follower. If they don't get that, they divorce because he was "too controlling".

      This whole age gap stuff is an American/western creation. Outside tge western world, people don't care that much as long as both adults are committed to their relationship, family & sometimes community. Only in America some fake psychologist is going to run some numbers & choose 7yrs or such as the maximum acceptable gap. Then ofcourse society eats it all up.

    My husband and I have the same age gap - 18 years - and we’ve raised two daughters, 3 dogs, and have been married 26 years, together for almost 30. Of course there were skeptics that the age gap was too great and we couldn’t possibly last, but when you know you’ve met your soulmate, you know. My husband turns 70 this year and I am just enjoying every day with him and helping him by cooking as healthfully as possible and encouraging him to stay active.
    I wish many more years of happiness for you and your beautiful family. Happy Birthday to Moto! ❤❤❤

I am esp touched that you are also very sensitive to the needs of the children when both parents are so busy working outside and coming back highly stressed and tired to tend to the children. Balancing, helping out at home and priority is the key.

      It's really a spelling mistake; but, also, even though, in English, words can; &, do, sound the same; (they're "synonyms); they do NOT always get spelled; nor, get their word forms conjugated, in the same ways!.

      @@AndrewHeller-jn7dx I agree that Moto-san is an exceptional husband in Japan. I think you meant to say, “most guys _still_ haven’t changed,” instead of, “dyill haven’t changed.” In the paragraph that follows that one, you’re missing a “to” between “likely” and “succeed.” In the sentence after that, “couple” is missing an “s.”
      I think the biggest pitfall of a considerable age difference between spouses is that if their emotional maturity is imbalanced, it won’t be an equal partnership; instead, the elder spouse will be dominant in most aspects of their relationship, and treat the younger adult like an inferior. That’s why I really admire the way Moto-san doesn’t act like a domineering sempai in their household: instead, he and Moe-san support each other and communicate so well to ensure that each of them, including Su-chan, can have their needs met.✊

    Congratulations! Happy anniversary! I think the way of thinking that women worked inside the home and men outside was everywhere from generations ago. It was like that here in the US. But with so many world changes both parents had to work to pay for things. So it should take both to work inside the home as well. I have noticed that some families have stayed with that mindset because they wanted to. Some families here the dad stays home and the mom works outside the home. All should contribute to the success of the family whatever they may be. ❤

    Love that you both spend much needed family time together and talk openly. There is much to be said about an intact family unit and roles in the household. Too often these days children get shipped off to daycare and preschool as soon as possible. That doesn't allow the children to bond with their parents. Instead they are bonding and strangers, or sadly, in the case of children that do not have steady caregivers they are constantly looking to bond with someone. What an amazing and loving family.
