[Favorite Article Introduction] #OshiHarumaga | 'The Sense of Discomfort on the Day My Married Daughter Stayed Over for the First Time' by Tachibana | Tokusatsu, Boxing, and Making Daily Life a Little More Interesting
Hello!
I'm Miriho, a mom writer.
This time, I'm participating in the #OshiHarumaga campaign, a project for the collaborative magazine 'Harumaga' run by Haru-san, who I'm always indebted to!
The article I'd like to introduce is...
'The Sense of Discomfort on the Day My Married Daughter Stayed Over for the First Time' by Tachibana | Tokusatsu, Boxing, and Making Daily Life a Little More Interesting.
It's an article that depicts the feelings of Tachibana-san, the mother, when her daughter came to stay over alone for the first time since getting married.
It starts when she receives a message that her daughter will be staying at her parents' house alone because her husband is away on a business trip,

Daughter > Hey, you're home tomorrow night, right!
(She must have seen the shared family schedule)
Me > Ah, yes, I am
Daughter > Let's have dinner together! And maybe I'll stay over?
Wait, staying over, all of a sudden??
Tachibana-san's writing is comical and makes you chuckle. You can really feel how close she is with her daughter.
Tachibana-san says she usually has a light dinner. But with her daughter coming over, her 'mom mode' switch turns on.
I prepared Thai curry, which we don't usually eat at home, with eggplant, ground meat, and soybeans.
On the side, I also made some shredded potatoes and new onions topped with cheese and baked.
It's not much of a dish, but now that you're a housewife, you understand, right?
The greatness of 'a meal made by someone else'.
Tachibana-san, you can make Thai curry? That's amazing! Isn't that a high level? The side dish looks delicious too.
Oh yes, when you cook every day, you really understand 'the greatness of a meal made by someone else.' It seems her daughter was happy about it too.
Even though it had been a while since she stayed over, they are a close mother-daughter pair who are always in touch via LINE and see each other once a week, and that night was no different.
And as for the day itself—my daughter was working on her computer,
my husband was watching prime-time TV,
and I was watching Tokusatsu (as usual).
Nothing changed at all.
It seems the three of them spent the time just like any other day.

Tachibana-san's word choice is genius.
I have a 7-year-old daughter, and I wonder if the day she grows up and leaves the nest will come in the blink of an eye. If it does, I hope we can become a family like Tachibana-san's, where even if she stays over after a long time, it feels just like everyday life.
It was a heartwarming article where you could glimpse, between the comical lines, how much you truly wish for your daughter's happiness.
As a parent with a daughter, this was a very memorable article.
Tachibana-san's other articles are also incredibly funny, so please be sure to read them. I laughed out loud at the story about whether or not to tuck in just the front of your shirt.
Tachibana-san, thank you for letting me introduce your work 💖
