How do you say “put a lid on” in Japanese?

I called my girlfriend in my room about planning our first year anniversary.

ME: Can I come over right now?

Her: Sure. We should celebrate our one year anniversary.

Me: What do you want to do to celebrate?

Before she answered, my mom rushed to my room, opened the door, and screamed, “You clogged our toilet again! Why did you leave it like that?”

Me: Mom, I am talking with my girlfriend now.

I’ll fix it later.

My mom: OK.

Make sure you do so.

Me; hello, are you there?

Her: Yes I am here. Are you OK?

Me: I am fine. So what do you want tonight?

Her: Sorry, something came up. I can’t make it today.

Me: What’s wrong? When can we meet up to make up for it?

I shouldn’t have just put the lid down.

After we broke up, she started referring to me as “shithead” around her friends.

After that, I was known as shit head guy.

The husband actively takes care of the kids and shares household tasks with his wife.

イク is short for taking care of kids.

育児　イクジ means to take care of kids.

メン　is short for men.
メンズ means men.

Most Japanese stick to the old way of family organization.

This means that the husband put his work first, while the wife stays home to do the housework.

The husband puts their career first, while the wife stays home all day to do the housework.

It means that the husband puts their work life/career first

If the husband works for a Japanese company, employees tend to do everything their boss says.

He doesn’t have enough time to help his wife out.

However more husbands are starting to share the household tasks/the housework with their wives.

What has made them decide to change their ways/thoughts?

They finally figured out their wife is much/way scarier than their boss.

A wife can order her husband to do anything at all: scratch her back up or rub her feet.

So the guy should just do some of the household chores.

He doesn’t have to do all the cooking, he just has to offer help where he can.

夫が積極的に子供の世話や家事を妻と分担すること

イク　　　子供の世話することの略

育児　　　子供の世話をすること

メン　　　男の略
メンズ　　男

ほとんどの日本人が家族構造の古い概念に執着している。

それは、夫が仕事を優先し、妻は家に一日中いて家事ををします。

もし、夫が日本の会社で働いていたら、上司といつも一緒です。

彼には妻を助ける時間がない。

でも、多くの夫が彼らの妻を助け始めた。

何が起こったの？

彼らは、奥さんが上司よりも怖いとわかった。

彼女は体をかきながら、夫に必要なことを命令する。

ただ雑務をするだけ、ロマンスはないよ、だだ雑用。

We had a great time talking about our favorite songs on Skype.

A: I dig his songs. They are very impressive.

B: His songs are not my type. I prefer Disney songs.

A: Don’t be silly, those songs are childish.
You are crazy to say that.

B: I don’t care what other people think of my taste in music.

However I want to try to listen to many different genres.
(I want to try to listen to many different kinds of music.)

A: How about this?
His music is compositionally impressive too.

（His music composition is impressive too.)

B: It sounds cacophonous.

A: Yes. He is an insanely good guitar player. He is better than he used to be.

B: By the way, did you get ready for your exam tomorrow?

A: I didn’t. I haven’t cracked open the books yet.
(I have not been cracking the books yet.)

B: You are insane.

I’ll write an explanation about this word in the next post.

ヤバいの意味は？

僕らは　スカイプで　好きなおんがくの話で楽しんだ。

A　僕は　彼の音楽に　夢中です。やばいよ。（すごい　すばらしい　です。）

B　彼の音楽は僕の趣味じゃない。　ﾃﾞィｽﾞﾆーの曲が好きだからね。

A 冗談はやめてよ、子供向けじゃん。そんなこと言うなんてやばいよ。（変わってるね。）

B 他の人が僕の音楽の趣味を何て思うがきにしないよ。

でも　いろいろな種類の音楽を聴いてみたいな。

A　この曲はどう？　彼の音楽も本当に最高だよ。

B　いい感じだね。

A　彼はすごいいいギターリストだよ。以前よりも上手です。

B　そういえば、明日のテストの準備できた？

A　全然してないよ、本すら開いていないよ。

B　ヤバいね。　　（信じられない。）
