A Difficult Day

It's very difficult for me to raise a child.

I think this is the most toughest job in the world.

I would love to quit the job, but I can't.

She was planning on going to Kobe to attend an open house at the university.

"open house" is the term we use, even when it's not a house. It means that anyone is free to enter and look at the place. Originally, it was for real estate agents to show houses to prospective buyers. It's now also used for colleges to attract students, and for classrooms to allow parents to better understand their child's education and meet the teacher.

A month ago, she asked me if I could take her there, and I thought if she wanted to enter the university, I should go there with her.

Yesterday I overheard a phone call between her and her friend.

When I heard that, I was very shocked because my husband set aside some money for us to go there, and it's not cheap.

First of all, she wanted to go Chinatown to eat lunch, and after that we would go to the university, and then she wanted to go shopping with me.

Is it actually called "Chinatown" there? In New York, that's the name of the Chinese district. If that's not the name there, "the Chinese district" is probably a better way to say it.

I freaked out and yelled at her, saying that I didn't want to go there anymore, and that I was very disappointed at her.

She replied that it was important for her to go there was because she already had a permission and even if I didn't want to go there, we had to go there.

She has been in her room and even though I have tried to speak to her, she never listens to me.

I really don't know how to handle this.

I asked her what she wanted to do in Kobe. and she answered.

First of all, she wanted to go China town to eat lunch. After that we would go to the university, and then shopping.

I realized that she wanted me to take her there to use my credit card for shopping.

That really upset me. I angrily told her that I didn't want to go there anymore, and that I was very disappointed with her.

She replied that it was important for her to go there and since we had already agreed on it, even if I didn't want to go there, we had to go.

Since I now saw it as a waste of money, I told her that I wasn't going to give in to her.

Since then we haven't spoken to each other.

She has locked herself into her room and will not listen to me.

Then she said that it was very important for her to go and, because she already had permission, even if I didn't want to go there, we had to go.

She was really mad and said that she didn't want to go to university anymore.

in America it's more common to hear "go to college"
