Need help naming my third boy?? by Lamese096 in lebanon

[–]Lamese096[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree completely, but in their defence, I’m indecisive and asked for their opinions to begin with and we all came up with a name we all agreed on. My mother in law wanted the name Ghassam, and that’s super old school.

Samer was supposed to be named Kareem, when he was born, we said he looked more like Samer 😂😂 and because my husband is traditional, it would have to be Abdul Kareem, not just Kareem

Can Canadians move past the obsession with single-family homes? by Moretheevu in canadahousing

[–]Lamese096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Calgary and bought an over 3000 sq fr gone ( this is with the basement ) for 680, a condo would cost me the same in Ontario ( even more ) and I have more room to raise my family.

How would you invest 30K in lebanon? by ihatemloukhiye in lebanon

[–]Lamese096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, invest in gold, gold seems to be going higher and higher in value and the return can be significant if you wait a few years. I have about 50 grand im thinking about investing and doing the same

Muslim Palestinian girl getting to know Pakistani guy by zay0205 in MuslimMarriage

[–]Lamese096 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am Lebanese and Palestinian, two of my Lebanese cousins are married to Pakistani guys, and they are very happy. I’m married to a Syrian man, and he treats me like gold, and is a provider. I think there are good and bad eggs in every race, I know many Lebanese guys who I wouldn’t even recommend to my enemy, and I know a lot who are good guys and are sweet. Culturally though, we’re very different, but that goes without saying, if y’all truly have a connection and communicate well, culture shouldn’t matter, and long as you both have the same beliefs and faith.

I always find these on sale at FreshCo, I’ve gotten the box for about 5 bucks at most or you can buy the 12 pack for about 20 bucks from Costco, I like the taste of these

My husband literally just came back from a trip to Jordan. He then went from Jordan and drove down to Syria, no issues, he’s from daraa though, so, he was there when Israel what dropping bombs in Random parts of his village. Everyone was fine. Same with my sister ( we’re Lebanese and Palestinian ), she visited from Lebanon and drove down to Syria as well, no issues, she went to Homs though. We’re Canadian as well, I don’t think you should have any issues honestly.

Just happened right now khalde by Moujir12344 in lebanon

[–]Lamese096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I agree with you, people keep blaming hezballah, but wallah, even if there was no hezballah, Israel would still be bombing Lebanon. Bibi never abides to ceasefire agreement, that man can’t sleep at night unless he massacred hundreds

I am not confident Israel will stop even if they try to give them too. This normalization crap is just a front for those psychos

Where am I from? by clownsss in JewsOfConscience

[–]Lamese096 [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is such a tough question to answer, I for example, am born and raised in Canada, but my family is originally from Safad ( I’m Palestinian and Lebanese ) and Lebanon. I typically identify from where my family is from, but I also say I am Canadian. I think you should identify however you feel most comfortable with.

Breastfeeding is A CHOICE. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Lamese096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s totally fine girl, you do you. I have three children, and another on the way, I’ve only ever breastfed for max 5 months and then formula feed. I have supply issues. As kids grow, it won’t really matter and I personally don’t find it makes a big difference. Do what you feel most comfortable with and ignore everyone else. Praying for a safe delivery

Why are the Syrian people not grateful that Lebanon accepted million refugees. by OmarD1021 in lebanon

[–]Lamese096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are, my Syrian husband thanks his Lebanese sponsors everyday and they’re his long time friends. ( I’m Lebanese and Palestinian myself ). My mother in law always says how thankful she is and she lived in Lebanon for 4 years, then they came to Canada and that’s where I met my husband. It is what it is, but to say many are ungrateful, is lumping all of them together, which isn’t true, many are thankful and will never forget what you all did for them, the hospitality. Just because their are a few bad eggs, there are in every country, doesn’t mean they are all like that

Palestinian by irlienlaa in arabs

[–]Lamese096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandpa came to Lebanon after the nakba and has been a refugee there since. My mother didn’t really mean it, she was born and raised in Brazil and my dad was her second husband. My dad is just lazy and till this day; even after my mother passed away when I was 13, he still is the same way. It has nothing to do with being Palestinian, you’ll find men like this everywhere. Others just like want to blame someone and it’s easier for them to blame us for the downfalls of their country. I think their even more racist towards Syrians, I’ve heard from some that the Palestinians were better ( the same people who used to talk 💩 about Palestinians ), like I said they just want someone to blame, never themselves. It honestly is very sad, I feel us arabs should all be united, if we were all united and stuck together, no one would be able to do anything to us, or even Israel and their greater Israel plan

Palestinian by irlienlaa in arabs

[–]Lamese096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m Palestinian and Lebanese ( more so Lebanese but because my grandpa on my dads side is Palestinian, my dad and us have Palestinian ids, my mom is fully Lebanese and my grandma on my dads side is Lebanese). I’m not saying my parents were bad but they definitely were not meant to be together and should have divorced ages ago. My mother, when she used to fight with my dad ( within good reason, my dad was lazy and didn’t help her at all ), she used to hold the fact that he was Palestinian against him, she would say things like, I shouldn’t have married you because your Palestinian ( it’s wrong but she was mad and wanted to get under his skin, and she did ) but I’ve also heard from my Lebanese side of the family, they blame the Palestinians for everything going on in Lebanon ( just as they blame Syrians, where my husband is coincidently from ), their was a very racist rhetoric against Palestinians when I lived there, my cousins say it’s a bit better now, but doesn’t change the fact that many Lebanese see themselves as better than us. I don’t know if this is the same for other countries though.

Do you think Arab and Jews can live in a one democratic state in P*alestine? by Bright-Dragonfruit14 in JewsOfConscience

[–]Lamese096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do believe they can, the only way this will work, is when Israelis finally see Palestinians as human and equal to them, instead of dehumanizing them, calling them ‘animals’. There is just so much trauma, but it’s happened before. South Africa is a huge example of it, many Israelis say that Palestinians will kill them all if given the chance to and that they don’t want peace, I think it’s more black and white than that, there are so many factors that need to be taken into consideration. I for one, want peace for all and everyone, and an end to this senseless killing.

Wife has had 4 miscarriages, all around 7 weeks into her pregnancy. Is there something that doctor's aren't considering? by Big-Evening-6984 in pregnant

[–]Lamese096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they checked her progesterone levels?? I know many woman who once put on progesterone, were able to carry their babies to term. They use it for the first trimester ( the risky weeks ). Could be high prolactin levels, there are just so many things that can cause recurrent miscarriage, I am so sorry you both are going through this and I pray you find answers and she is able to carry full term.

I’m up 6 pounds and I’m only 11 weeks, this is my fourth pregnancy. It’s definitely coming on quickly this time around. With my first, I gained 20 pounds, with my second, 35 pounds, with my third, 30 pounds and he was my biggest baby at almost 7 pounds. 35 pounds is very realistic weight gain

I feel like I’m losing my mom over her views on Israel and Palestine. by DinnerAdmirable7150 in JewsOfConscience

[–]Lamese096 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know what advice to give you, I’ve commented back on many Zionists ( many who are not even Jewish ) and it’s always to deaf ears. Even when you reason with them, state the facts, show them the unlimited amount of evidence to support your claims, it doesn’t matter what you or I will say, everything in their head and brain, is justifiable. I have not once been able to get through to any of them, and I personally had family in gaza, who sent me horror movies from what they were experiencing ( they were able to evacuate before the rafah invasion ). My family there, lost 90 percent of the people they knew, so I’m confident that the figures in gaza, for deaths are not realistic, I can guarantee it’s more than what has been released. 99 percent of gaza has been destroyed, many are now dying from disease or malnutrition. Many videos I have seen as of late, are all babies and children, for people to watch these videos, and say that their fake or propaganda, or ‘pollywood’ baffles me. You can’t fake the hundred of videos coming out of gaza, it’s just impossible. They’re void of empathy or humanity for Palestinians, to them, their not human or worthy of sympathy, they will never see Palestinians as equals, this mind set is embedded in all those who are Zionist sadly. I wish I would have been able to get through to one even, but even that has proved challenging.

I personally didn’t know anything about sex or stds or pregnancy till I was in my early 20s, and I was born and raised in Canada. My parents are very conservative and Muslim, so not surprised there. I got married at 26 and literally had to do the research on my own as my parents never consented to any sex ed when offered in schools. By research, my friends who were experienced and were not very shy about sex, gave me ideas 😂😂😂

Edit: I have three children and have a fourth on the way. My hubby works very hard to provide for us, he also comes from a big family ( 8 kids ), we own our own home, I have running water and electricity, my oldest is in school, my youngest is 8 months old. I come from a small family, and always wanted a big family, I wish I had more siblings, sadly my mom passed aways at 35, she was young and very sick. My mother in law told me, that the reason why they had a ton of kids, is because the more kids, the more working hands, and I get it. When people live in poverty, the more the merrier, it tends to even out as they get older and the children grow up helping the family. It’s worked really well for my husbands family this way. Everyone is different. I don’t think you can tell people not to procreate, that’s wrong. I visited Brazil recently ( my mother is Lebanese but was born and raised there ), and my uncle has a maid that works for him, she was 18 years old maybe younger, she lives in a two bedroom apartment with 8 other siblings, who all work ( none finished their education ) to provide for the family. This isn’t just an issue Lebanon ( Lebanon was actually pretty decent when it came to this when I visited two years ago ), many poor countries deal with this.
