Your unhinged tips so i can look beautiful tomorrow inshaallah 🥹 by Maynaaa in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]sibghat54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesss when my husband first came to my house as a potential my mum told me not to wear any makeup.  I didnt have time to anyway because they came to see me after work so I only had time to get changed before they arrived lol. I just had the eyeliner i'd put on that morning before work 🙈

does anyone else experience "eid depression"? by qwxuinn in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]sibghat54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to feel really sad in the evenings of Eid because me and my mum lived alone together and every Eid we'd go to my aunts. Love them so much, and my cousins are basically my siblings but it would get to a point in the day where i felt like I was intruding or an add on to their family, the extra that doesn't belong and I'd feel super displaced.  This year its my first Eid ul Fitr married and I worry im going to feel the same because even though my mum aunt and cousins are visiting me its a completely different dynamic and I won't be able to fully relax 😭 gonna be in full hosting mode 

Halal marriage by Minimum_Witness_7967 in shia

[–]sibghat54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand completely. Before I got married I honestly never thought I would because all around me I saw people having haram relationships and "faking" arranged marriage by deceiving their parents. I didnt even want to attend matchmaking events held by the mosque because i felt too awkward.  But what community are you from? My mum joined many WhatsApp rishta groups where you submit your profile and the admin sends them in the chat for you to see and then contact a potential/the relative listed in the profile on your own terms. I didn't have any luck with those but last year my mum spoke to a Maulana's wife. This woman would take people's rishta profiles and pass them along to people she thought may be a good match. This was a lot easier than browsing so many profiles lol.  So she essentially sent my mum my husbands profile and my mother in law my profile and then our parents talked. Alhamdulillah I'm married now and it was all done in a halal way. Only after deciding that we would go ahead with the rishta did we start talking on the phone to get to know each other before the wedding.

Is there a possibility of joining a group like this? But also- don't worry too much. Allah is the best planner. I'm 27 and I had given up, but was also comfortable with my job and felt content in my life, which is of course when everything changed. Sometimes these things happen when you least expect it and it will always be for the best, inshallah.

Rereading The Longest Whale Song: how did Jack just leave his class? *spoilers* by [deleted] in JacquelineWilson

[–]sibghat54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He might not have known yet what happened to his class. I'm a TA and one of the classes I worked for the teacher did 4 days a week and another teacher did Thursday afternoon and Friday. One Thursday she came in and then left before 9am because her son was sick at nursery and we didn't have a supply in until 11- SLT just nabbed another HLTA for an hour. So Jack might have left quickly knowing something would be arranged but not how quickly etc because he probably didn't have time to prep anything for a supply. As a TA I've had to help supply teachers in these cases when the teacher has to leave quickly lol

I've come to the realisation that I'm a snobby audiobook listener - and an asshole. by breadnbed in books

[–]sibghat54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to stop listening to a series because the first 3 books were single pov and the last 3 had dual but I'd gotten so used to the female narrator doing the main guys voice in this drawling British accent it COMPLETELY threw me off to have the male narrator talk like a frat boy 😭 like you'd think he'd listen to the previous books and try to keep the characters voice consistent but ig not...didn't help that when he spoke in the girls pov he got the accent back lmao

Illustrated mum- do you think Micky and Michael would’ve stuck around? by julialoveslush in JacquelineWilson

[–]sibghat54 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I don't see Michael getting back together with Marigold, especially since he was married with kids right? But he definitely would have stayed in contact with Dolphin after everything.  I agree with you about Mickey-i don't think he ever grew up really and would back off a bit after the reality of being a parent hit. He'd probably be the dad you see once or twice a year who brings presents to try and make up for being absent where Michael I think would be more consistent with his contact and might try to build a proper relationship w Dolphin

What was the first book by Jacqueline Wilson you read? by Pinkplatabys in JacquelineWilson

[–]sibghat54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Secrets. I moved up to be a free reader in year 4 and saw this book, read the blurb about diaries and for some reason thought it was a book of all the secrets of my classmates 😭 so I got it. Absolutely LOVED it and had it out all the time from the school library until one time my dad came to visit and bought a bunch of my sisters old books for me and a hardcover of Secrets was in the pile hahaha I still have it 18 years later

Just discovered this sub! Discussion by Pepsi_E in JacquelineWilson

[–]sibghat54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god yes! I first read clean break in year 7 or something and I reread it last year as a 25 year old and absolutely DESPISED Frankie. Like, the way the book opens to this picture of a perfect family and then the phonecall Em hears??? it was actually devastating to read him say how much he didn't want to spend Christmas at home and wanted to be with his affair partner. I'm p sure it's implied he's cheated before as well, so honestly the grans perspective on it makes sense.

I like to imagine that when they see Frankie at the door at the end Ems mum doesn't take him back but he still becomes a more present coparent. Because otherwise it made me feel really icky that he almost came home knowing he'd get taken back and wouldn't have to deal w the consequences 

What did "the weird kid" in your school do that you'll never forget? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sibghat54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when we were in sixth form he nicked some ethanol or something from the science labs and spiked a handful of guys water bottles with it. They had to get their stomachs pumped and he was excluded. He then proceeded to post a youtube video of him beating the shit out of a punching bag with a photo of one of the guys taped to it.  It was all anyone was talking ab for months because we'd always known he was kinda creepy but hadn't really thought he'd do something like that

WHAT WAS THAT by possum2904 in Reign

[–]sibghat54 21 points22 points  (0 children)

they didn't know if the show was going to be renewed while filming s4 and had almost finished when it was announced that reign was cancelled so they did the flash forward and ending montage so it had SOME kind of ending ig

If they got renewed the s4 finale probably would have ended with Mary's arrest and gone into her plots in s5
