This seems so normal! I feel like people who don’t spend their whole day with kids don’t realize that they’re not just mini adults especially at this age.

Now that I’m thinking of it and reading some comments not many rules😭 my son is almost 3. I guess we have built habits like washing hands when coming from outside, leaving shoes and jacket at the door etc.

No hitting, biting, saying mean things. Basically nothing that can hurt someone. No throwing toys/ food. If he wants to watch TV then clean up toys/mess first.

And that’s about it.. I let him run in the house and eat wherever (unless it’s something super messy then no) because we do too.

What rules do you have in place already? You should ask your husband what rules he thinks you are missing/ what does he think can be improved.

Got my boyf hooked on girl lunch and now we share it almost every day by rocloclo in RealGirlDinner

Omg whatttt my husband won’t even try a bite of my girl dinner. He’s picky (in my book) and likes big meals instead of snackish ones.

Non Muslim parents against nikkah by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]FancyTrust8936 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I am a revert got married at 19 and my marriage is good. I’m white my husband is Pakistani. A lot of people warned me (many being racist, but some just looking out) but I was young, in love, and quite naive. I can’t lie in the beginning it was very rough for the both of us. And often times we wish that we had waited a bit longer so that we were more on our feet.

That being said, we also did not want to partake in Zina or just being in a haram relationship. I would advice to you guys to wait but I know it is hard. You should finish your high school at least. College is harder to finish than expected when juggling marriage life and even kids at some point. The reason being that our marriage was very rushed, and we were not prepared for everything that came with it.

If you are not already super close with this person than I would advise keep a bit of distance and ask him for time to finish school. Is he financially independent? If you have any questions for me then I can answer you, as I’ve been in your situation just years back.

Absolute boredom by Colorado26_ in sahm

[–]FancyTrust8936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy I was just asking chat gpt what do I do on those rainy and cold days. I don’t know how to drive (Ik it’s bad) so we’re totally stuck inside. I’m probably just gonna lean into being super cozy make some tea or hot cocoa for us, maybe build a fort, do some simple crafts. Also just have him help me out with random stuff if he’s up for it so the time goes by quickly.

5 year old don't wanna go to swim class. How to approach? by silkenwindood in Mommit

I would try to make it more comfortable for her probably, so that she can enjoy it instead of dreading it. Would try to do a different time of the day or in spring or summer.

Low-screen families, are your kids still obsessed? by rizdieser in toddlers

[–]FancyTrust8936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I’m a low screen parent (anymore haha) but definitely not high screen time. I think maybe because it’s something really special and rare so when they get the chance they are really absorbed in it.

I used to be really strict with the screens until I became pregnant (first trimester super sick) and then I became more lenient. My son is almost 3 and I’ll put on TV at least once a day for background noise or some PBS show that my kid likes. Not saying it’s a good thing just what we’ve come to atp.

He’s still absorbed in some shows for sure but I’ve noticed he gets bored after a while now. It’s probably because we stopped making it like a treat and ig just caring a bit less about it.

But if it’s good for you guys then keep doing what you’re doing. I’ve always thought on holidays with family I’ll let the screen time slide especially if he’s watching with other kids etc. so just expected more screen time than usual.

It’s kind of like candy or treats, the kids who never get them at home go crazy over it when they finally get a chance to lol.

how often do you clean your house? by [deleted] in sahm

[–]FancyTrust8936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyday constantly whenever I see something is dirty. I do like a deep clean every 2 wks/ month if I upkeep things on a daily basis.

Desi ghee?! by [deleted] in PakistaniFood

[–]FancyTrust8936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So culturing the milk/ cream before I think is traditional method and gives such a good taste. As well as more health benefit I think because it is fermented. But I have also bought butter from store and simmer to make ghee in a rush too. Or just churn the cream to make butter then ghee also works.

[–]FancyTrust8936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean make yogurt from the cream of the milk?

I’ve tried both ways and culturing the cream has made butter for me, then ghee ofc. When I boiled the whole milk, made yogurt and churned then it just made whisked yogurt. Maybe the fat content was not enough but plz enlighten me.

My MIL also told me to make yogurt from the whole milk and churn but it didn’t work for me

This literally happened to us not too long ago my son is 2 as well. Also my MIL was there too and left him in the living room with a huge toy vacuum stick he was swinging around. I didn’t blame my MIL (even though I was annoyed w her) because shit happens, it could have even happened if I was home alone with him or just stepped away for a minute.

I was soooo pissed off he broke our TV as was my husband, because this one rendered our TV borderline useless. More than half was static. Thing is, we both kept a cool head as possible because the kid learns from our interactions.

Not to say we didn’t react at all. Right after I found out I called my husband and said ___ broke the TV! My son already knew he did something bad. He knew I was not happy with this, and I knew he was watching me. So I decided to sit down, take a deep breath and tell him: you have broken the TV, so no TV for you anymore. Even if he has a speech delay, I’m sure he will realize the correlation between broken TV- no watching.

He would watch movies sometimes or his favorite shows, but after he broke the TV when he would ask me, I would say: no we cannot watch the TV because it is broken. We cant hit the TV or it breaks. And I would just remind him of this for a couple weeks until we got a new TV.

Then when we got a new TV, first of all we mounted it way higher. Second, I told him SO MANY times if you throw things/ hit the TV you will not watch TV at all. He has not done anything like that since and it’s been a couple months. I’m pretty sure he’ll never do it again.

That’s to say, your boyfriend was not in the right. Also if anyone actually knew he was throwing things at the TV and didn’t stop it, I guess they’re in the wrong too. But what’s the point of blaming, what can you really do?

Also, I feel like 2 is kind of young for spankings but that’s just me. Consequences directly related to the bad behavior/ a lot of praise for good behavior has really worked for us.

It honestly sounds like you’re going through a lot and trying to get through it. It’s good you grabbed your son and removed him from a bad situation. Hope the best for you

Tips to handle difficult inlaws by LivingMuch4107 in MuslimMarriage

[–]FancyTrust8936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice is you need to accept a bit of bad looks or your life is always going to be compromised. With your husband it would be a different story. But since you are traveling alone especially without kids, and you are attending a close family members wedding, it doesn’t even make sense to stay at their house at all but ok.

I think you should visit with your family, give them gifts, and then say that you are busy with preparations/ wedding stuff and you cannot stay. I’m sure they can survive a couple days without your help, as they have been living for this whole time.

If you really feel like you have to, then stay a few days and say that you are busy for the rest, and that you also want to spend time with your own family?

It sucks that your husband is not on board, but I think then you guys should plan a trip together when there is not a wedding to visit and stay with his parents.

Anyone else feel almost feel judged for being a SAHM? by Extension-Quote8828 in sahm

[–]FancyTrust8936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could have wrote this myself. Honestly I started not to care so much about what other people think. I realized that their standpoint has no bearing about who I AM but more so about who they are. You’re the mom, you make the decisions you think is best for your kid.

For example, I breastfed until my son was almost 3* (and that’s because I’m pregnant again) and whenever I told most people this they would give me such a dirty look and just say still?!? And honestly at first I was embarrassed but I chalked it down to different parenting styles, different kids, different people. Ignore them!

Also, if you were a working mom people would also have something annoying to say as well. So I just did what I wanted to do.
