If you have a spare room, I’d recommend considering a live-in babysitter （ Au Pair ） as one of your options.
There’s a placement agency called “Au Pair International,” and Hawaii is one of the areas they cover. ！

I'm not up to date on the latest information, but I believe you could also get one at the service counters of Foodland and Time’s Supermarket at Ala Moana Shopping Center.
You can also have multiple accounts under your own name.

My apologies.
It seems you need a photo ID (such as a passport) to get the children’s discount.
It seems the locations are limited to
Satellite City Halls (except Ala Moana Center)
TheBus Pass Office (Kalihi)
Online (see form below)
.
Since I’ll probably be taking the bus with my child to school, this was very helpful.

Thank you, everyone.
Satellite City Hall operates by appointment only and had no openings until the second week of next month. … It looks like I’ll have to go to the Karihi Transit Center. Thank you for the information.

Hello ！
I’ve been thinking about having my 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter take violin lessons, and while I was looking into it, I found this studio.
I was planning to have her start around the time she turns 3, so I haven’t contacted them yet …. It looks like they teach in both Japanese and English 😄

It would be faster to ask Discovery Bay directly.

On rare occasions, it may be closed for maintenance.

I’d recommend the sauna at Sky Ala Moana instead.

I live in Discovery Bay ！
When it gets hot, the thermometer sometimes reads 140, but since that’s in Fahrenheit, I don’t think it’s as hot as it is in Japan.
Also, it occasionally breaks down.

MPC application, I used it last year to enter the country. I am a green card holder and my son is a citizen, but we were able to use it.
You can register your family together. It was summer vacation, but the MPC lane was very fast and very empty, so I recommend it.

＃ 7 I checked again about MPC based on K's information.

Below is the updated information.　

＝ ＝ Who can use MPC ＝ ＝

US citizens
US permanent residents
Canadian citizens with US B1/B2 visa
Those traveling for the second or later time with ESTA authorization

（ Therefore, green card holders were also okay ！ (happy ） ）

＝ ＝ Examples of available airports ＝ ＝

John ・ F ・ Kennedy International （ JFK ） , Los Angeles International （ LAX ） , San Francisco International （ SFO ） , Daniel ・ K ・ Inouye International （ HNL ）, Chicago ・ O'Hare International （ ORD ）, Seattle ・ Tacoma International （ SEA ）, Harry ・ Reed International Airport （ LAS ） etc

＃ 8 K asked a question.

What about if you are at LAX （ international but land at ） UA terminal or something.

Yes ！ Green card holders can also use it.

I was ready to use it and installed it, but the wifi at EWR was unstable and I could not use it. Canadian citizens, US citizens, and permanent residents were in the same line, so it took almost no time at all.
On a side note, when I told immigration that I had been to Morocco, they asked me if I had ridden a camel ？. （ Bomb ）

By the way, when I pick you up at LAX, I wait in the parking lot of the nearby Carl's Jr. and when I get my luggage, I get a call and head curbside.

＞ I'll try to get a call when I receive the package and head curbside.

Good idea.

Still, last time （ I returned to LAX last May ） everything was full of private cars, including curbside, and the Flyaway Bus from SFV took extra time before stopping in front of me. But thanks to that bus, I didn't have to be picked up privately, and I was able to get back to the Van Nuys terminal without a hitch.

I was probably in the care of the same person for a long time.
I heard of his retirement just as I was thinking ！ that I had finally found someone I could trust as well.
Her instagram also disappeared and I am wondering if there were some sudden circumstances.
If you are still in Hawaii I would like to know too.
（ sorry for the non-answer ）

I think that praising a child's language and giving treats are two completely different things.
While praising the child when he uses correct language, if he asks for a snack when he shouldn't, the mother should gently explain why it's not a good time. Since your mother-in-law is also a kind person, I am sure that she will understand the basic things that are important in your family if you discuss them with her. In my case, my own mother is a person who tends to get emotional when her opinion is not taken, but my American mother-in-law was very kind. Sometimes she gave me advice, but she was not pushy. Whenever she disagreed with my ideas, I would explain my own ideas softly, and she would think about it, so there was almost never an awkward moment. We eventually got along so well that we could talk about harsh things and laugh at each other, so I think it's better not to get frustrated in the beginning. Good luck.

Thank you for the adbus, mama who finished raising her child ！
It's good to accept once ！ and step up to the plate.
I thought it would be good to teach my kids to use polite language with Gramma, since I only see my mother-in-law when I go to stay with her that way.

As you mentioned in your advice, I also think that correcting language and giving treats are two different things. In Hawaii, there seems to be a lot of differences in the way people speak depending on their parents' background, the area they live in, the school they attend, the homeroom teacher, etc. Teaching them correct and beautiful English in addition to the locale-specific English will help them when they become adults. I think that teaching them correct and beautiful English in addition to loco-style English will be useful for them when they grow up. If they get a job in the U.S. mainland or travel around the world in the future, it will be essential for them to speak standard English. My husband is very local and went to a private school in Oahu with a very strict language policy, but he spent his adolescence in the countryside of the Big Island of Hawaii, so he speaks with a very thick pidgin accent. I am very envious because I can speak in a casual pidgin with the locals and in beautiful English otherwise. I am also done raising my children, but I was quite strict with my children's snacks. The most important thing is to be consistent in addition to explaining things properly to your child. I think it is best to explain things the same way every time, using logic that is easy for the child to understand, without changing from one thing to another depending on the mother's mood or mood. In my own case, it was often agonizing, but I was saved when, as an adult, my children told me, "I didn't understand then, but now I understand why mom did what she did, and I am grateful that she did.

I thought it was not necessary to speak so politely because my English is at a daily conversational level and I only know Hawaii, and moreover, my child just turned 4 years old, so I thought it was enough if I could talk to him. But in the future, it would be better to have a good command of the language ！.

If you leave downtown, you can take the B line subway to Hollywood (about 20 minutes) or the #460 to Disneyland in Anaheim (about 2 hours).

I have been to San Diego by Amtrak, and in my experience it is not so scary when it is not too late, but when it is close to midnight, it is better not to go there.

In the morning, I think it would be better to take the train from Union Station to Anaheim and then take an Uber from the station to Disney. I am worried about how to use Uber's APP and when to contact the driver if I don't understand English.
