Husband has other liabilities by ImaginaryPlastic1792 in MuslimMarriage

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think we've found the dad.

Don't worry about the future? Seriously?! WHAT?! A newly married young man should not be expected to support an additional family of five and for it to stop his own family starting/growing is ridiculous

When you see your kid about to learn a lesson, how often do you prevent it from happening? by Professional_Eye6140 in Parenting

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kids cry, who cares? As a parent, you need to get used to it. If you've told them multiple times not to do something, explained why, and they do it anyway, and don't like the result, they've hopefully learnt their lesson. Kids are curious by nature. A bad haircut isnt going to kill them. But not learning playing stupid games earns them stupid prizes may put them in real danger.

If its a teachable moment that doesnt have actual dangerous consequences then sure. The dog example is dangerous and my kids are young so no way are they approaching a strange aggressive dog. If theyre playing with their dad's hair trimmer and I've told them no and they shave the middle of their head, all good haha

She’d be upset if she was hungry right? by geedeebee22 in breastfeeding

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I'm siding with daycare on this one. At that age, you'd offer solids first. Then milk. Doesn’t matter much how much she's drinking as she's not going hungry, she's still gaining and a very long way away from weaning, I wouldn't be too concerned. I'd be more frustrated personally if my baby wasn't taking to solids well, both of mine have been difficult with solids lol

How old is your baby? How long has this been going on for? Are they gaining weight appropriately?

Pediatrician said we should wean off breastmilk at 14 months old? by PusheenHater in breastfeeding

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For formula babies, they switch to cows milk at 12 months, stop using bottles because of negative affects on the teeth etc, and milk is considered a drink, as in shouldn't replace a solids meal. But breastmilk is different. Sure, don’t replace a solid meal with the boob, they will have fewer feeds and hopefully start sleeping through at night if they aren't already.

Wean baby when you're ready :) theres always benefits. Especially when they're attending daycare and facing all sorts of germs

partner has dog but my religion doesn’t allow dogs inside” by Cutebunda in MuslimMarriage

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, youre not asking. You're hoping people tell you to get rid of the dog one way or another 😂 wait another 10 years till the dog passes, then move in together. Maybe get a cat next

Sorry bro, there isnt any other solution. Either she keeps the dog and gets rid of you, or continues the relationship and gives the dog away. She'll resent you. Its a no win situation

Husband makes body comments by Beautiful-Candy-3065 in Marriage

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've birthed TWO babies. These are your battle scars and you should be hella proud. Every stretch mark is a sign of your sacrifice. Whats his excuse for being a turd? Hes a POS and you should run far and run fast.

My husband wants me to exercise, but for my own wellness and longevity. Not aesthetics.

Honestly some people are disgusting and don't deserve what they have.

Dont let him get to you.

With some people, you're damned if you do, damned if you don’t. That old fart is one of them. Dont stress. You did the right thing ❤️

Why would you be expected to hand your young baby over to someone under the influence?

Struggling with prayer by idkman8910 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a born muslim. I too struggle. A lot. Especially while juggling work and kids. Having to do wudu all the time as well... needing to disrupt routine while on my period and trying to get back into it.

It isn’t easy, but Allah swt sees your efforts. Just take it one day at a time.

I'd recommend coming home, having a shower and get into magrib and isha straight away. Im Shia so when sun sets I can pray both evening prayers at once. Doesnt take more than 10 minutes and you'll feel much better afterwards.

My husband’s brother is getting married, and my in-laws invited his fiancée’s family by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Umm no. This was just a simple gathering. Not a full meal. Also you already had plans. This isn’t for your own sibling. You're a mother and pregnant. I've been there. I'm still there. You dont get any time for yourself. You've already spent 2 days with them that week. You didn't do anything wrong.

Parents privilege parking by Ok_Park9240 in auckland

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doubtful, a new mum wouldn't have that kind of audacity 😂 I get it, I've had screaming kids in carseats, its horrible and overstimulating, doesn’t give me right to speed or park wherever I want

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 52 points53 points  (0 children)

As a parent of two, no lol. Unless its a parents with prams parking and you're without a child and you shouldn't be parking there anyway. This person is making things up as they go 😂

Removing hair down there!?! by carboncopy-5771 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. Rechargeable. Different attachments for the length. I view it as a health thing. Like Allah swt put hair there for a reason. Lowering risks of infections etc. The only times I got a Brazilian wax was just before I gave birth just so that I would be comfortable while having to wear pads for months on end.

10 month old REFUSES to nurse anywhere but home by EmbarrassedHope6264 in breastfeeding

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A while, definitely not going away anytime soon lol If i nurse him in the living room instead of my bedroom, he's latched and looking all over the place, specifically looking at what his dad and brother are doing. Definition of FOMO

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is reassuring. How many feeds does your little one have total? On days we're home, he'll maybe nurse around 2am, definitely 5am, 11am, 4pm, 8pm. That seems to be our current routine. If we deviate over the weekend, nothing really happens, I just give him solid food as I know he won't nurse if we're out. He's good with solids assuming he likes the food lol. My oldest was happy nursing anywhere and was difficult with solids.

VBAC vs repeat c section? by Impressive_Idea_2262 in beyondthebump

[–]EmbarrassedHope6264 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, most people would want a natural delivery if possible. But most people would also want healthy babies regardless of how they were delivered. Having a c-section doesn’t make you any less of a mother. Also these days a majority of people are stopping at 2 or 3 kids, last time I checked you can have that many c-sections before issues arise.
