Question from a reader:
I’ve seen in various articles that Kojiima Ruriko’s child was just born, but I believe it’s actually been a year since the birth. While the child should be turning one, referring to them as “just born” gives the impression that they were born in January 2025, which feels really off. How long is this expression “just born” supposed to be used?
How Long Can We Say a Child is “Just Born”?
Hello! Today, I want to discuss something interesting. It seems there’s been some talk recently about
the expressions used regarding Kojiima Ruriko’s child. Many people feel a sense of discomfort when they read the term “just born,” especially since the child has already turned one. I totally understand that feeling.
Reflecting on My Parenting Experience
As a mother of two, I experience my children’s growth every day. I remember when my eldest turned one, people often said, “He’s still a baby.” Of course, the cuteness of them as a baby is special, but once they turn one, they start walking and learning to talk, and you can really feel their growth. Despite that, being treated like a “baby” can sometimes feel a bit frustrating. When I hear that Kojiima Ruriko’s child is referred to as “just born” even though they are already one year old, it brings back memories of how I felt at that time. It makes me ponder how significant it is to be told “still so small.”
The Power of Words and the Reality of Parenting
The expression “just born” carries meaning. It might reflect her feelings of the challenges and loneliness she faces in parenting. I remember the times I struggled with parenting, feeling the absence of my partner, sometimes wanting to cry out of frustration. However, I also recall how friends and family supported me, which helped me get through those tough times. Parenting is indeed challenging, but it is also a privilege to witness a child’s growth up close. The period when we are referred to as “just born” will surely become a cherished memory.
