As I head out to class this morning my wife calls me, and wants to know why I talk badly about her parents in the last blog post. Then threatens to take me to court and get every cent she can out of me for child support, and change the paperwork from seeing my daughter once a week to twice a week.
This is what I have to deal with every day.
Now keep in mind that my wife is Korean. Not in the racist way, but in the way that English is not her first language. She basically learned English from talking with me as well, so her skill is only 5 years old at best. Each word I say aloud, or write in my blog must be translated before she can evaluate the meaning. The bad part about this, is Korean grammer is so completely different that translating something directly can entirely change the meaning.
So to clear this up I will write what I said about her parents to be translated directly.
My wife got pregant, WE LIED! She was 7 months pregnant when we told her parents. Any parent would be mad!
Now that all this is cleared up I want to make another thing clear. When my wife is mad, flustered, or uspet, her mind races, just like any normal human being. This interferes with the translating and several key words tend to be mis-translated or skipped in the process of only skimming the document.
If you are going to read my blog Dohee, calm down and read it again. Take a break (several hours) and then read it again. Make sure you translate it with a clear mind and read every single word. Calling me in the middle of a class so that I have to pull my battery is childish.
Just stop and think before you act. I’ll do most anything you ask, but only if you’re rational. If you’re mad and yelling, I’m just going to hang up then talk again when you are rational.
