“Okaeri, Papa” - Ch. 23 - Escape

[CrimsonWarden]

And the plot stickens...
I mean thickens.

baby doesnt need a shit father

 

[Nijitori]

Her husband seems like a piece of shit. Lazy, demanding, incompetent. You can’t even clean up after yourself and it got that bad in a few days? Waste of air.
I feel bad for chika. While I can’t condone cheating. I do sympathize that she has little support that we’ve seen thus far.
Then again, the real crazies are the step mother and daughter.

Hope the dad and his family get away.
Still worried about the classmate

People talking about trying for a baby still sounds weird even though I'm in my 30s now. Like man, you don't have to tell me about your rawdogging adventures.

I get the mindset but, it's 50% of the "get married and have kids" ideal that a lot of people strive for. Sure the process is inherently tied to sex, but people are having sex anyways. It's not like it's a secret that 99% of couples you will meet have had and will keep having sex (some choose to abstain, that's cool, just not common). Nearly every person you walk past on the street is sexually active, even the old people. That's just life.

The actual "i'm ready to undertake the upheaval of creating new life" is less about the sex and more about them talking about their efforts to move into the next stage of their life. It's fairly juvenile to reduce it down to "lmao creampie." I'm not going to say it's stupid, because it's technically true. It's just like... not the point.

"I don't know if it's my or his fault that we can't have a baby", bitch then just run some tests, that can tell you who to blame with confidence instead of playing the guessing game.

 

[SaintNero]

This story is really starting to run it's course they need to start wrapping it up and get to whatever the messed up twist is gonna be.

 

[Metalheadzaid]

Yup.... I would say it's awful to be a cheater but imagine you got a sister in law who has your whole family going against you, his step daughter wants to jump on his dick, your brother hates you, your friend says you're selfish when you can't tell her about your awful husband, and feel like you got no place you belong

Exactly. There is no excuse to cheat, because you can break up/separate first (and the dumbass reasoning of staying for your kids is AWFUL) but the REASONS to look elsewhere still exist either way, and people forget that when they just look at "wow you got cheated on you're the victim" even if they're super fucking awful people.

I honestly don't feel that bad for the MC's sister. Yeah, her husband's a deadbeat but she doesn't want to go through a divorce - so she cheats on him. Cheating/having an affair is never an option.

Thanks for the update

Yeah she’s trying to eat her cake and have it too. She won’t divorce him, but she won’t stay committed to her marriage either.

My "big oof" sense is tingling hard here

Thank you for the sl!

I would agree until I realize this is Japan culture. From what I recall a single mother won’t be looked at highly on the dating market (just look at how people in MC’s life thought of MC when he dated and married his wife) even more so a divorced single mother.

 

[Weebius]

I feel for her, but I genuinely think that cheating for solace is the worst thing you could do, assuming you get caught. Like, you have no recourse - actively seeking out another man gives that shithead husband the right to fuck you legally. I get it, but there's gotta be a better way.

Wouldn't be a drama if people didn't make dumb decisions out of desperation though I guess

 

[Sussudio]

I'm probably overthinking it, but after her friend talked about cheaters and accidental pregnancies....then Chika holding her stomach... This is just a set for her to be pregnant with the manager kid and making her easy blackmail material for the daughter in the future. I can see it now, Chika does a pregnancy test in her parent house and it's positive. She throws it in the trash can and Touko scoops that shit up.

HURRAH FOR SOCIETAL PRESSURE AND MENTAL HEALTH NEGLIGENCE

 

[anak_sampah]

Oof, that's relatable.

I don't know why we become more sensitive as we grow older. When I was a teenager, other could say anything about me and I'll just chill like "eehh, alright, I guess".

Now that I become an adult, I observe everyone around me, even one weird sentence could be taken for the worse and spiralled down as time goes. This is especially true for in-laws. One wrong word, boom, enemies for eternity.

 

[Blackspace_2]

okay how can we make this worse?
tells manager shes pregnant -> gets beaten to death -> brother distraught ->used by stepfamily to make him commit the cest -> new baby -> baby gets born but is mentally challenged -> also has cancer -> everyone has cancer
anyone got any more ideas, i ran out after th ecancer thing

I get it but I would ultimately think that cheating on your partner and getting pregnant with the affair partner (regardless of getting caught) is infinitely worse than being a divorcee. All this considering that she has to live with that decision for the rest of her life.

 

[ceoamaterasu]

Ahhh yes, "I dont want to divorce" bunch.
Together with a combo "Hey boss, lets talk "

I know this very well. Way too well.

 

[Kurshir]

Yeah she is definitely pregnant with the manager's child, no fucking doubt about it. Her rubbing her belly while Mayu was talking about women who slept with other men and accidentally getting pregnant can't be interpret as anything else
