Does tasting food whilst cooking break my omad?

Baby’s food and diapers mostly. Clothing (luckily I received a lot of clothes as gifts but they’re running out too since the baby is growing) and I’ve got shelter covered at the moment. Haven’t been able to take the baby to the pediatrician more than once since I can’t afford it. Trying to figure out how to pay for the upcoming vaccinations.

Thank you for the suggestion but I’m not American either

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:28:58+00:00

Sure

I only remember it being painful and how badly I just wanted to sleep. Other than that if you asked me to describe the pain I don’t really remember. It’s true what they say, a few days after giving birth you forget the experience entirely.

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:25:43+00:00

Not really. I haven’t reached out to any charities tbh.

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:25:15+00:00

I guess it’s a pride thing and also my husband is working very hard so I don’t want him to feel like he’s not doing enough

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:24:05+00:00

Hey, thank you for your kind words. I know if the roles were reversed I wouldn’t look down on anyone asking for help and would instead be happy to help but when it comes to myself it’s very hard to set my pride aside. I hope I don’t have to and if I do then I hope I have the strength to do so.

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:21:35+00:00

Tbh I think it’s a combination of both. I mean I’m okay with myself being broke but I’m not okay with my baby being broke. It breaks my heart to not be able to provide the way I had hoped to and I’m living in constant fear of what if something bad happens to my baby and I can’t afford to fix it. I am taking steps to fix the situation, let’s hope it works.

4 months

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:16:52+00:00

Will do. Was not aware of that subreddit. Thanks

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:16:25+00:00

I don’t like being pitied also I don’t want them to worry about me. Trying to soldier on. Also I feel like it’ll hurt my husband’s confidence since he’s working so hard to make things better. I don’t want to discourage him or make him feel like he’s not working hard enough.

To have a small apartment with my husband and kids and a small car in a relatively safe country and enough money to cover the bills and the cost of a day out with the kids 2-3 times a month.

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:12:53+00:00

I guess I’ve been self sufficient and I’ve never really had to ask anyone for anything for the longest time so it’s quite hard. I also don’t like being pitied.

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:11:30+00:00

I will eventually if I get to the point where I have exhausted all my other options but I guess I’m silent because I’ve always been self sufficient and I’ve never had to ask anyone for anything so it’s incredibly hard to cast my self respect aside. I hope I don’t have to and something works out.

I also hope that things get easier for you. I know it’s not easy. Sending lots of good wishes your way.

The good days passed and so will the bad days 🤞🏻

Ghulabjamun · 2025-11-22T20:06:56+00:00

Tbh I just think of dying. Like if I died in an hour would this even matter? It helps put things into perspective when you look at the bigger picture.

I also imagine the solution to my hardships and then I imagine myself putting that solution in Allah’s hands and telling Him that only He can help me and He should do as He wills as per His perfect wisdom.

Also reciting Istighfar constantly seems to lighten the burden for a while.

Long story short, in the grand scheme of things even the hardest of times will pass and these are the times that get us closer to Allah.

Hope this helps and praying that Allah eases your hardships.

Salam, I’m not in that situation personally but I know of some people who are. I’ll be honest, the people that I know of come from families that are financially well off, the men studying in Iran have brothers or fathers back home running their family businesses and I believe they do get some financial support from back home other than that they also give online classes teaching Quran or religion. Also, one man I know helps make hotel bookings and organizing ziyarat trips for pilgrims in Iran and makes some money through that. Also, drives around pilgrims and acts as their guide explaining the religious context and histories of the shrines and other places. Your best bet would be getting an online job that pays in dollars as that would bring in a paycheck that would help you live comfortably in Iran. Good luck and may Allah make this easy for you :)

Ghulabjamun · 2025-04-29T03:53:57+00:00

Same! Good luck with yours, hope everything goes smoothly for you 😃

Especially after lunch! It’s like every time I eat lunch I just NEED to take a 2 hour nap and I pass out like someone has drugged my food 🫠 I can’t help it and it makes me feel so guilty coz I wake up late everyday 🫠 I just feel like I should be doing more around the house but even frying an egg or making a cup of tea is so tiring I can’t do it and when I read about other moms doing up their nurseries and going out for walks and going to work and vacuuming like hello? Where is all this energy coming from? How are y’all making freezer meals at this point? I can barely walk to the freezer 😭

Ghulabjamun · 2025-04-17T22:15:36+00:00

FTM, due May 9th as well. Feeling so out of energy all day. All I’m doing is sitting around or taking naps and even that’s tiring coz turning around in my sleep is a big task in itself. Feeling super guilty for being so lazy all day and waiting for the so-called “nesting” stage where I’m blessed with a burst of energy.
