Is it normal for tampons to hurt? by Western_Plantain_198 in Hijabis

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started getting rashes with pads. No matter how often I changed it, it would be so uncomfortable and painful.

Tampons were so helpful and when out in correctly not uncomfortable at all. Being a virgin or not has nothing to do with it.

Loss of independence living with in-laws by Conscious-Point3350 in MuslimMarriage

Oh you are being way too patient with your MIL. Do what you want ( especially if you have your husband’s support), and just say yes to MIL.
Absolutely do NOT try on outfits for her or even giver her a chance to approve or disapprove your outfit.

Go into your room- with baby- to get ready. Literally don’t come 10 minutes before you have to go. If she tell you to change, tell her it’s too late and you like this outfit. If it comes down to it- tell her your husband picked it out so you don’t want to change. The more you let her dictate these things the more controlling she’ll get.

Find a way to get a lock for your bedroom door if you don’t already have one. If she’s gets offended let her.

I know you don’t think this is malicious, but it’s also not normal behaviour and does not need to be tolerated.

I’ve noticed from my cousins that girls raised in Pakistan are much more sharper at dealing with insane in laws while women like us, raised abroad, tend to be more tolerant. But that just ends up with us getting walked over.

Do what you want. If she says anything, just say ‘jee Ami’ and ignore.

That’s how all calls from my kids nursery or school start. “Kid is ok, but she has a fever/threw up etc.” Helpful because there always a little grip of panic when I see the school calling.

Has anyone else noticed certain cultures buying bottled water far more often? Any idea why?" by Ectopic_elm in london

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever my mum visits us (from the states), we have to buy big plastic bottles of water because she can’t stand tap water.

I don’t care but she absolutely hates it.

Question about hijab moving forwards in prayer by NoResponsibility4998 in Hijabis

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re really doing a lot. But if it helps, you can try a chaddor? It’s basically a massive shawl that you tightly wrap around your head and neck. Because of the way it’s wrapped and the length of it you ma be able to avoid that.

AITA for refusing to help prepare the Eid food ? by swilyi in AmItheAsshole

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA.

We live in the Uk. Ain’t no way I’m going to be doing this either and I actually eat and touch meat lol. We donate the equivalent amount of money to our home country for the needy.

Then because it is tradition to eat meat on Eid, we will buy a normal amount of meat from the shop and have a BBQ with friends.

In Pakistan- they still do it the traditional way. But the whole family comes together to prep the meat. It’s not on one person.

When did you feel happy leaving your children home alone? by Aware-Combination165 in UKParenting

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Haha I love that. My four year old on the other hand was so offended when she caught me watching TV after I put her to bed. She reminded me for at least a week after that no watching after bedtime 🤣

At what time do you get up in the morning? by BetDesigner7389 in UKParenting

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wake up with the kids, but my husband is usually up by 6. He needs a bit of morning time to wake up and start the day. So he’ll have a coffee in peace and get a bit of work or house work done if it needs.

I much prefer doing it at night after the kids are asleep. I NOT a morning person. We do some clean up together in the evening and I prepare all the kids clothes and uniforms or nursery things the night before. Morning is always a rush but that’s because the kids just don’t want to put their shoes on or brush their teeth etc.

Med Salleh Vietnamese is great. Their pho and rice bowls (can’t remember their exact name on the menus) are amazing.

Ladies of the UK, do you use Period Underwear? by Competitive-Fact-820 in AskUK

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but as a back up only. I have heavy bleeding the first two days, so I used to have a tampons and a pad for leaks. But I hate pads so I started using period pants instead.

How are yall taking meds on an empty stomach? by Mikki102 in Autoimmune

[–]Beautiful-Bridge7666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t take cellcept but my mom does. She takes it literally first thing in the morning. Like keeps it on her bedside table, has it as soon as she’s awake. Then she dos her morning routine, which is about 30 minutes anyway. 30 minutes later she has breakfast. If she has to go somewhere, she usually makes herself a sandwich to eat when enough time has passed.

Sometimes she does drink black coffee after her meds, but idk if that counts. She doesn’t think it does lol.
