y'baditei, ce ar putea aduce o persoana ne-romana cadou de paste parintilor baditicii lui?

y'all who don't know who tudor vladimirescu was should feel blessed cause that means you never had to experience the traumatic mental image of his beheaded body in well
or other mental images of other tortured romanian figures (such as the fantastic tragere pe roata)
do men become more irrationally bitchy with age?
i mentioned to my family that my partner (who is brazilian and is still learning romanian and about our culture) asked me about avram iancu and tudor vladimirescu because 2 streets next to his are named like that
and one of my uncles (whom i used to adore and was a paternal figure to me and very present in my life) asked me "were you even able to answer him? do you even know it yourself?"
and the smugness in his voice and that disgusting smirk... this is the man who took me to the history olimpiad many times, saw me my whole childhood carry conversation with my grandpa on history, was friends with my history teacher from high school and had the same history teacher i had in middle school and knows I've had one of the highest scores at bac because my other aunt (former history teacher) gave me extra material to study from
also... I occasionally teach history to my pupils...
but some middle aged man can undermine my intelligence because spending 16h in front of TV automatically makes you more intelligent
i just had a random flashback of someone from 14 years ago getting a case for their 18th birthday in which they had some random stuff including black stone cherry cigarettes just because they liked nana
yeah i know i have 7 🥰

people really blame teachers for the existence of the demonic meditatii, buuuut does your 3 year old REALLY need meditatii la engleza, oana? does your third grader REALLY need meditatii la romana, alina?
my family literally forces down my throat all sort of meditatii with their kids, but let's be honest! your child doesn't really need to know how to use past simple vs present perfect when he's just 7 and barely speaks his mother tongue! just take a bit of time to explain to your kid why "a fi" is different than other verbs! don't just throw yourself at holy demonic meditatii only to complain later online
ALSO
if you keep taking out of your kid's time with 9999 activities and drag him with you to cafes and restaurants... idk how to tell you, but that child is definitely tired and in no mood for school! i can't focus after 6h of lessons + 3-6 of other activities either! why so many expectations from a kid?
go for less activities! he won't be a professional football player! no need to take him to football 6 days/week! he can play with friends!
does alessia REALLY have to learn how to play the piano, guitar, violin, harp and the flute? isn't one or maybe two instruments just fine?
do these kids have to go to school, go to an extra lesson (usually 2h long), go play football/volleyball, then go play an instrument, then go out with their parents and their parents' friends for a 5 hour drink?

I have a new pupil and she was enrolled while I was on a short medical leave, so I haven't had the chance to pay attention to her file and stuff. But this week she told me stuff about her mom and when her dad came to pick her up, I wished him and his wife a lovely holiday. The man stared at me and then told me that he is a single dad... his wife died 5 years ago and the kid didn't want me to know that she is an orphan. I felt like biggest idiot and I just wanted to disappear 😭
am I the only one who doesn't find the simplicity of country life something shameful?
there are sad and frustrating aspects, but being a "peasant" and living in the country side is not something shameful for this nation
