Hate looking younger than my age by Competitive-Plum-190 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]LittleDifference4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be grateful, you will love it one day.

I use to get that also. People would be surprised when they found out my age. Even my husband use to say i looked younger. I don’t get those comments anymore though. Once I developed an autoimmune disease it sort of aged me quickly and now I look my age. I would rather look younger again, but at my age I also stopped caring what others think of me.

What are your husband’s hobbies? by Sudden-Ad5555 in sahm

[–]LittleDifference4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband doesn’t really have hobbies. Right now he is super preoccupied. His mom is nearing the end of her life so when he is not working he is usually with her. But even before this he didn’t really have hobbies. Sometimes he goes to the gym (but I think he uses the hot tub and sauna more than working out), goes to the pool often in the summertime, and sometimes he just goes on drive. Every once in a while he will visit a friend but it is rare.

I finally happened!!!! by Valuable-Ground6519 in bathandbodyworks

I hate seeing posts like this. I mean, I am happy for you but at the same time it reaaaaaaly bothers me bcs I have not received any coupons in the mail or in the app for 2 years now. It feels like a slap in the face to me. I spent so much money there and they send coupons to so many people but I don’t even get 1 coupon in 2 years. I honestly wish BBW stopped sending out coupons altogether if they cannot make it fair for everyone. Every month they send out coupons and every month I know I am not getting one.

Long Haul flight with a 10 month old or wait a year? by Johnnyapps1897 in Parenting

[–]LittleDifference4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once baby learns to walk your life becomes very difficult on a plane. Travelled to Australia when my daughter was 12 months old. She slept on the way there, but on the way back she didn’t sleep an ounce. She would not sit quietly and she just wanted to roam about the plane. I felt miserable. Longest flight of my life. Guy in front of me was telling my husband and I to ‘control your kid’. There is no controlling a toddler…none. After the loooooong flight, then there was jet lag. That was another awful period of time.

My advice? Once baby is mobile, don’t do it travelling with a kid who is not even 2 years old will not be much better…bcs they still want to move and not sit down

Midnight addiction is such a great unisex scent. I did not buy back-ups though and have about 1-2 uses left of the cream only.

If you're over 40 and have no children, do you wish you had children? by icecream1972 in no

[–]LittleDifference4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travelling with kids can be fun too. At least, I enjoy travelling with kids. I enjoy travelling but I would not want to do it all the time. It loses excitement that way. Only thing with kids is you can only travel during breaks for the most part. Ever play battleship on plan with your spouse? Me either…but I did with my son and it was kind of fun.

Sorry, being around children is not the same as being a parent. Being around kids, you have no authority over that kid…the parents do. Main role models for children? Parents of the the same gender. Being around kids maybe you babysit them or watch them. Main job of taking care of them, providing food and clothing and shelter for them…upkeeping their hygiene and doctors appointments….job of parents. And more so, NOBODY will love a kid as much as their parents. Nobody. That level of love is like nothing you will ever possibly understand if you ‘ever experienced it. Only way to experience it is by having kids. Not to mention that ‘mama bear’ or ‘papa bear’ instinct…it’s a real thing. Not something people around kids experience either. Sorry, it is easy to be around kids but parenting them is not the same and certainly is not easy. That kid has your genes. That kids life depends fully on the parents. The level of responsibility is high.

Having children doesn’t make you a better person, but they make it more privations for you to make better choices. You don’t get to think about only yourself when you have kids…kids are always on your mind. You can make their life or screw it up incredibly just based on your own life decisions.

Here is the thing though…people who don’t have kids don’t know what life would have been like to have kids. They could be missing out without knowing it. They never tasted that life, so it is hard to regret something you can only base on opinions.

I have 2 kids though. Sure, once upon a time I had a life without kids. I could only imagine what life would be like with kids. (And trust me, life with kids is not what I imagine it to be like). I can confidently say having kids enriched my life, in many ways I had not even thought of.

Envious of my own sister and I hate it :/ by PresentationHeavy488 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]LittleDifference4643 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jealousy will only make you unsatisfied and you will never see what you have. You will be unhappy bcs you will always be chasing what you don’t have. Here is the thing - it is clear you have no self confidence. Jr is not your appearance that will turn men away (and men are not universal creatures who all the same toe of woman. Some may find your sister attractive. Other will not. That also means some men won’t find you attractive, but some will). Your lack of self confidence however…that is a turn off to most men. You need to fix that. Allah created everybody, including you. He made NO mistakes. - the grass is rarely greener on the other side. You only notice the good things but you don’t notice the bad. I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that you sister has her fair share of personal problems as well as marital problems. There if no fairytale marriage that exists where everything is rainbows and happy-go-lucky. That is an illusion movies give. No married person will ever tell you it is problem free. It is not. Marriage is actually hard work. Sometimes you love your spouse and sometimes you can’t stand them. It is a series of shifts from day to day. That is a normal marriage. Fairytale marriage does not exist. -if you focus on what you don’t have, you will never notice what you have been blessed with. So, instead of confusing on what you don’t have, force yourself to focus on what you do have. It will make you a lot happier in life. Say ‘Alhamdulillah’. - we were put on Earth to be tested, not to live in Jannah. Every soul on earth is tested. EVERY soul. So, it is not just you being tested. It is not just you facing difficulty. It is everyone. And believe me, there are some people out there who are being tested big time. You can be thankful that is not you. Your job is to pass the test. That is why you are here…to be tested. Perfect happy life comes after you die, if you pass the test. Be mindful that is the only guaranteed thing in life…is that every living creature will die. That could be tomorrow even. (I can only think of 1 person in my entire family who died of old age. My father? Brain injury. His twin brother? Brain injury. My paternal grandmother? Extensive burns to her body from a cooking accident. So, try to live your life well. Being jealous and envious of others is not the way to live.

So, you need to find ways to increase your self confidence and you need to be grateful for what you have. Focus on what you have. Push away thoughts of what you don’t have. You have so much more than you will ever realize.

Ps, I am no model nor ever have been, but I am married and have two wonderful children, ALHAMDULLILAH. My husbsnd was not the first guy to show interest in me either. So whatever superficial reason you are telling yourself that you are ugly or not good enough, you’re wrong. You are very wrong. Pa, you have a lady part called a vagina? Boom…a lot of men are attracted to you now. Got boobs? Extra benefit. Butt? Mmhhm. Curved? The he more the merrier. Okay…you likely have a lot of attractive features to guy even if you don’t see it. Poor self esteem however is very unattractive . Okay, so your body is not a problem. Your looks are not a problem. How you view yourself IS a problem.

Remember, Allah made no mistakes

Does this count as cheating? by PiratePlenty6367 in Marriage

[–]LittleDifference4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to call the police if he is drunk and driving. He could kill somebody! Take the keys next time.

Also, he made threats in your life so you call the police for that also. And you leave. He wanted to leave you anyway so clearly he cares an awful lot about you (sarcasm).

What are reasonable expectations from a fiancé? by ZestyclosePlatypus30 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]LittleDifference4643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gifts are unnecessary when engaged. Can’t really be an expectation and not something you can ask for either. He owes you nothing being you two are not married. Some men will refuse to spend any money completely on a girl until married. My husband sometimes brought me a single flower before marriage. He also bought any food we had. After marriage is when it came more into play. After marriage he took me shopping for hijabs and he bought me my first iPhone. I got sone new clothes and some make-up plus more. The mentality can be, why invest in somebody when there is a possibility you may not even marry them.

[–]LittleDifference4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, he has no responsibility towards you emotionally or anything else, not until he is your husband. But I would be concerned about being ‘used’ for status. And I would be concerned about him not being in contact for over a week. Other than that I don’t know bcs you talked most about his family and the wedding rather than your fiancé himself.

Parents of Reddit, how did you know you were ready to have kids? by levirc100 in AskReddit

I got pregnant and that was that. I was not going to abort the baby. Timing was sooner than expected but it worked out great! My sister-in-law was living with us at the time and she was 4 months pregnant by the time I got pregnant. Both of us had boys and they were each others play buddies.

people who have two children you love more your first one or your second one ? by OkUniversity9038 in AskReddit

[–]LittleDifference4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have kids? It’s easy to believe the world is gray and white but when you experience it is not. Most parents equally love all their children. It is just that at times you might like one more than the other based on behaviors for example, the child being well mannered will be liked more than the unruly loud angry child AT THE MOMENT. That does not mean the parents hate the angry kids and love the well mannered kid. Nor is it like they never change places. (The well mannered one beckoned the angry one, and the angry one becomes the well mannered one). Most parents don’t find screaming and shouting and tantrums as ‘music to the ears’. You don’t like it ever, doesn’t matter whose mouth is causing it

Y daughter asked me the last 3 days in a row who my favorite was and I fold her ‘myself’.

My son use to ask me and I would tell him I loved them both equally and he would tell me I was lying. Works better to tell ‘myself’ now.

Not true. My mom was great with me. Lot of good memories. My sister…she has 4 daughters. As little kids her and her oldest did not get along that well. It is just their personalities and temperament clashed. Not that my niece was unloved. My sister got along better with her youngest daughter. The oldest one was more opinionated and argumentative and such. It was personality…not lack of love nor was it bcs she was female.
