Hi, everyone!
Plum, from what I have heard from you about the DVD, it seems an exciting adventure story. In my opinion, you like detective stories, don’t you. I wonder whether you also like Sherlock Holmes. England could produce great detective stories, such as of Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. I used to enjoy their wonderful works, in Japanese, in my young girlhood.
This afternoon, I went to my kids’ school to see class, where I happened to witness a horrible scene. After the class finished, a lot of mothers were passing along a school passage, chatting friendly. Just then there were a parent and child at the corner of the passage, standing in somehow a tense atmosphere. Suddenly, mother slapped her son on his cheek in spite of the presence of us, scolding severely, and saying ‘why didn’t you say so!?’ or something. I watched him slapped at least twice, and of course, many of his friends also saw that miserable scene. Even if she intended to discipline her son, I couldn’t understand her harsh way of doing at all. I just hope she did so because of wishing for the happiness of her son, and above all, he could have a right understanding of her treatment.
I’m sorry for my sad story. See you tomorrow. Bye!

Dear Cherry and friends,
Hello.
It's rare to see such a harsh parent these days.
One of my cousin used to slap her older son.
I always wondered why she did so. He didn't do anything wrong.
Actually, he was a bit lazy boy. But isn't it ordinary for kids?
Now he is 19. He doesn't listen to her at all.
I heard she sometimes hit her mother these days.
I really worry about my aunt. My mother and I always tell the aunt to move out. She insists that there is nowhere to go. I'm very sorry about her.
Some people are too stubborn to change.
Hi, everyone!!!
How are you doing?
It has been a rather warm day, hasn’t it? Did you enjoy the daytime’s mild and pleasant weather?
I am very sorry for the boy and Alice’s aunt. I sympathize with them for their afflictions from the bottom of my heart. I do have a sad and bitter experience; I hit and slapped my daughter a few times when she was young. The last time I hit her was when she was a sixth grader, I think. I flew into a rage for some particular reason, and slapped her many, many times; I don’t remember how many times I slapped her. Her face got so red and swollen, and thus I could not send her to school the next day and got her to stay at home. (What a terrible and selfish mother I was!!! I know.)
Now I regret I employed that physical violence to her. Probably she learned something, but I think I learned more than her; physical violence should not be permitted or allowed at any place, at any time, for any reason. (By the way, I never hit or slapped my son, which is something I am very proud of myself for.)
My daughter was an extremely quiet girl and never talked back to me until she entered junior high school, which sometimes irritated me, strangely enough. Now she is a talkative, sociable and cheerful woman. She is an excellent mixer, really. She is open and friendly even to my friends. She has changed, which is so strange to me. She is so noisy!!!
Nonetheless, I really hate myself when the recollection came into my mind.
By the way, six of us had a lot of laughter, joking and talking at Jonathan’s session held at Cosmos’ place. Cosmos prepared beautiful lunch for us. I really appreciate your kind efforts you made for us, Cosmos. We all enjoyed her rice balls and hotdogs. The strawberry mochi was fantastic and fabulous. Thank you so much, Sunflower.
Hello, everyone.
I confess that I was one of the bad mother who hit a child sometimes.
I gave birth to 3 children and I couldn't get any help or support of child rearing from anyone let alone my husband.
My daughter was born just one year after my first son was born, so I was too busy to cherish my first son. Then my son became jealous of his sister,he was disobedient and became a naughty boy who didn't listen to me.
So I had slapped him sometimes, which I regreted later. I was a very immature mother.
I'm sorry for him, but I learned how to raise a child better little by little and my second son was a kind of success. He is really a good child, but sometimes severe to me. He usually understands me and kind to me, but he also understands men's mentality and stands by his father and scolds me sometimes. But my daughter is always my supporter.
Alice, I can't change my family because my husband never changes.
So I changed myself to live happily as I like because my life is numbered. Next year I'll be 60(Kanreki) with my rheumatism. I wonder how long I can live cheerfully. So I try not to think much of my DH but think of my life.
I don't want to regret my life in the end. I think that I am becoming stronger day by day.
