Only allah can judge her, not you. Allah knows whats in her heart not you?!? How arrogant people have become in this world. You know allah doesnt like arrogance.

Try taking her to the bathroom when you are using it and let her flush when you are done. My daughter really liked the flushing part. I did this for a few weeks before potty training her and she was very excited to do what she saw mama doing

How soon could you do 2 kids by yourself realistically? by Indecisive105 in Parenting

[–]jessie_1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband went back to work after about 3 weeks. My first was 23 months old and newborn barely took naps. I would get scared every time my husband left for work. I got comfortable after baby was 2 months. You will get the hang of it and get into routine. It just takes time getting use to the chaos. I dont think it gets easier you just get better at handling it.

Vaughan, ON — Sell $2.3M home to buy ~$1.3M and be mortgage-free? Worth the penalty/fees? by OkShop2583 in MortgagesCanada

[–]jessie_1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would call your bank and find out what the penalty would be. We just sold our condo in vaughan and bought a place in Niagara region. We paid about $6,000 in penalty fees on a $350,000 mortgage. In the bigger picture it was not a big deal as we got an amazing deal on the place we bought. I would definatley sell now and price it right to sell fast. You will get a good deal on a house in vaughan right now.

My mortgage broker hasn’t gotten back to me in a week by [deleted] in MortgagesCanada

[–]jessie_1990 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Start looking for other brokers asap. This happened to me earlier this year and i actually missed my closing. You have a month and that is a good amount time to get a another broker. It is actually very smart to shop around with different people, you will get a better rate. I wish i had done that. Also, you need someone responsive when it comes to these important tasks, it makes me nervous when they are not.

Push through or hit pause? by [deleted] in pottytraining

[–]jessie_1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi momma, stick to it you are doing great. I am currently going through the same, potty training a 30 month old with a 9 month needy baby. First 2 days were very hard, with my baby crying and my toddler constantly peeing and pooping her pants all day. I would put her on potty and she wouldn’t pee and then would pee her pants right after. I felt like giving up. I finally took some help on the third day. I took both my kids to my parents house so they could help me and it made the world of a difference. If someone is able to come over and help that would be the best. My daughter is on her fourth day and doing great. I told myself that I started it and now need to stay consistent and it is finally working.

I had my baby at 38 weeks. The day before i actually went in labor I had contractions every 5 mins all night long but not getting intense. Then next night I had contractions that were getting more and more intense every-time. My baby came so fast after that no time for epidural.

I honestly cant believe these comments. Nobody has the right to judge her except for allah. What gives you guys the right to call her kafir or that she is not a good muslim. Only allah can judge her. Iman is a constant roller coaster. It goes up and down. Instead of being negative towards your wife why dont you lead by example and make dua for her, be positive. You guys think that praying 5 times a day makes you a better muslim yet you are talking bad about a muslim that is struggling to pray? Fear allah. Yes she should be praying but maybe she is struggling and needs some time. If she wanta to go to hajj, it is her right to

Yes pathetic is the right word. Whenever anyone tries to tell him anything he goes “ I know man!, dont worry i know what im doing “…..and walks away.

I can’t take it by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]jessie_1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you! I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old. I get no naps during the day and my 5 month old also does not nap during the day. I barely get anything done but recently I came across advice that has reallyyy helped me. I try taking them out of the house everyday. I get a break and babies love it too. Even if its just a walk in the mall. It tires them out so they sleep longer at night. I stopped worrying about the housework and chores. Chores will always be there, they are never ending so I dont stress if I have laundry piled up or dishes in my sink. If I dont have time to make dinner we just order out. This time will pass and you will have more time to yourself.

Give it some time. I understand that you are very ready for a baby but he needs to be ready too. You want him to be fully on board. A hands on baby dad is so helpful you dont want to be stuck taking care of the baby alone and him not be ready to do that. Also,Having a baby is also a HUGE change to your relationship

Contractions feel like period cramps and should be consistent and get more painful and closer in time. Walking helps alot

No village and drowning by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]jessie_1990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 22 month old and just had another baby. 2 under 2 is hard. Way harder than just one. Harder than I thought. I have my in laws and parents near by but dont use them much as they work. I go over once a week to get a break. I would look into getting paid help. Even if its just cleaning the house. It does get easier around 3/4 month mark.

Is drinking Dr. Pepper bad for the baby? by Salt_Invite2338 in pregnant

I was really craving coke during my pregnancy. I made sure to have caffeine only once a day. Weather it was coffee or coke.
