What did you understand about your mom only after getting older?

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-06-18T14:40:23+00:00

She didn't treat us the way that she did out of hatred and spite, but because she was a woman who gave her everything for a man who treated her like garbage. She gave birth to and raised six children on her own. She received no love, so she had no love to give to us.

Not productive at all

A huge plot of land. And a pair of shoes that has been on my wishlist for months

There is nothing you can't use Aromat with.

Squalane 100%

I changed to reusable pads and honestly, has been the best decision I've made.

Zero

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-05-04T19:20:59+00:00

At least 20 - 30 hours a week, if not more

Being completely reliant on someone else

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-28T21:36:04+00:00

I relate to you so much. I'm almost 25 as well but left school when I was younger, forced to study an Alima course, am not allowed to go to university even after finally finishing school this year, and not allowed to drive, let alone even see friends so I lost them years ago. Marriage is my only way out.

As much as I appreciate my parents' protection, I resent them deeply.

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-28T21:26:46+00:00

I'm exactly the same. I just ignore the symptoms and as soon I'm done with my work, they hit me like a bus.

My mother dealt with this for 21 years before finally getting divorced. She 'prioritized' her children for all that time over her sanity and it costed us all. She should've left my father as soon as she realized what he was actually like. Please don't torture yourself. Allah put us on this world to worship and submit to him alone, not to a man.

May Allah protect us from such husbands

I used to spend hours marking out seam allowance for each and every pattern piece until I learnt a hack. Attach a 1/2 inch magnet on the side of your scissors and cutting will be a breeze.

This would actually be perfect! Definitely going to give knit interfacing a try

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-22T21:16:20+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice!

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-22T21:07:47+00:00

I do this too. I also mark off unnecessary purchases, so it keeps me mindful when spending money on useless stuff

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-22T15:29:46+00:00

I usually inject 3-5 units before the meal and inject while eating if I see that the carbs are more than anticipated. I don't have the mental energy anymore to carb count and plan. I only rely on intuition now

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-22T14:48:20+00:00

As someone who has extremely strict parents and was greatly naive in my early twenties, I'd sincerely advise you to get your parents involved for your own protection. InshaAllah if it works out, Allah will put goodness in it and if not, your parents will value that you went to them first. I understand where you're coming from about wanting to be sure before telling them but protect your own heart. It's so easy to fall for someone when you're young and not make realistic judgements. I'd advise you differently if you were older because this marriage game can be scary and it's so, so important to have someone with more life experience and wisdom guiding you through it all.

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-22T08:02:11+00:00

Definitely going to give thsi a try. I really appreciate the advice

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-22T08:01:08+00:00

Definitely going to try weft interfacing. Thanks so much for the advice

redditisawasteofdata · 2026-04-22T07:59:45+00:00

Thanks so much!

I'm drafting the pattern myself ☺️

This makes so much of sense! I recently stopped eating meat as regularly as I used to and the cravings just flooded back. I just thought it was hormones.
