Ok question context - had my youngest best friend over for a crash over for mine’s birthday. The following morning I made pancakes for breakfast. Now I make my pancakes from my grandmothers recipe that’s been handed down. Super simple and they taste great! This kid took one bite and stopped eating. I asked if everything was ok and he says, I’m just not feeling good. Much later that afternoon his mother calls to ask what i served her son cause he came home hungry. I told her I made pancakes to which she asked “what brand?” Confused I said from scratch. To which she said whose brand is that, I’ve never heard of them. So I clarified by saying I made them from a recipe. She yelled at me that I wasn’t listening to her. Pancakes come from a box and she wants to know which brand of box I got the pancakes from. I then recited my recipe to her and she said to me, I’m not stupid I am a chef so I know how to get the pancakes from a box you just add water, so tell me what box. I said to her, well I can appreciate that you as a chef must know a lot about recipes, I have to make dinner now so I’ll let you go.
How would you handle a child who has never experienced food made from scratch? Or their enthusiastic parent who makes interesting statements. Was I an a**hole?

It’s a story where the main character is a high school student and he believes he’s an alpha, but turns out he’s an omega and his mother who is an alpha had been hiding that information from him and he happens to come across his faded mate. Who’s just a small child. The small boy decides to leave so that he doesn’t trouble his fated mate and they reunite when the boy graduates high school.
Any help is much appreciated!!

My challenge and question for y’all is…. Say something nice about yourself and not something superficial, like looks, money or whatnot… Go deep dive into your true self and acknowledge a part of you that scares you!
Happy Halloween y’all!

So, in order to lead by example… I am kind to a fault and that is ok because those who truly know me, know that I will always be there to listen to them without judgement.

    To be honest the hardest thing to do is to not respond and listen, ask them to tell you more and ask them if they are ok, it will disarm them at the same time make them feel heard by you. Remember when someone is arguing with you or criticizing you, it’s not actually about you, it’s them and their need to be heard and understood. Thanks for answering my question!

Hey y’all. I’m looking for a fantasy manga.
So the MC is a female who can use magic in a world where no women are able to use magic. Her male cousin traded places with her so that he can run off and elope with a woman, and she (MC) takes his place in the Ministry of Magic (pot whatever it was called). MC runs into the main male lead who was trying to get the woman the MC’s cousin was running off with to stay because he was in love with her omelets... that’s all I remember. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am looking for a Manga title.
In it there are 3 stories all revolving around one bakery. This 1st story is about a pair of friends, the one gets a part-time job at the bakery in order to make his buddy his favorite danish or whatever. The 2nd story is about a business man who is friends with the bakery owner who buys his sandwiches with hot mustard. He too takes his interest to the bakery.
the 3rd story is actually about the baker and his runaway bf who wanders back after a prolonged absence and then sort out their situation to find happiness together.
The only other thing I remember was the owner's name is Watari.
Please help, if you know this manga!
