gotta re-arrange my house. Problem is, the appartment is small as it is, I'm not sure how we can re-arrange it.

I can't understand why girls are in such a hurry to have babies. they change your life forever. maybe my desires in life are selfish? I want to have fun and travel and sleep when I want to. I'm in no rush to be tied down.

assalamu alaykum

bruinrab - i would have left that school

Crazyyy. Lets nt talk about the exorcist please. shukran.

displaced - i dont want babies anytime soon. too grown up for me, i need to sleep and be a bum. i dont know about u, but for me it's just for selfish reasons...and oh and er...complete absence of maternal instincts

I LOVE my little brothers, though

For them I don't think they see it as a hurry, it's just natural for some people have babies earlier than others. Everyone has a different time.

I wouldn't mind getting pregnant a couple of years into my marriage, so that's about.. 3 years from now.

Girls, I need a favor por favor.

Does anyone have the lecture (recorded of course) of Shaykh Abdullah Adhami called "The Concept of Joy"? It's somewhat of an older lecture, given in 2000ish. He kind of needs it, thanks! Feel free to ask around, thanksomuch!

Alhamdulillah I spent a large part of yesterday with my grandpa at the hospital. My husband, sister and I went and hung out in the hospital room with my grandparents for most of the afternoon/evening. My poor grandpa is so weak and needs oxygen most of the time but alhamdulillah he is talking (very slowly and hoarsely) and even cracking jokes (weakly)

. He will have to have gallbladder surgery as soon as he is stable (possibly a few months) but his lungs are better and his heart is improving alhamdulillah.

My grandma who is 71 has refused to go to work for the last week since grandpa's been in the hospital. She had a breakdown at the hospital on Thursday because she was so stressed and refused to sleep and stayed in my grandpa's room 24/7. Since Friday they have been asking her to go home at night and my cousin and mom have to go up there every evening and make sure she goes home and gets sleep. First thing in the morning she's calling going, "who's taking me to the hospital today?" My grandparents (mom's parents) have been married for 50+ years and they've been through a lot. They got married really young (my grandma was 18, grandpa was 20) and they've been through a lot together.

When I was standing next to my grandpa's bed my grandma said something that was just..

. She mouthed to me over his head, "we almost lost him" (like 3 times during surgery alone

) and then she kissed his hand looking like she was going to cry and quietly said, "I dont know what I'd do without him, he's my life" and grandpa nodded too. The entire time I was there, except for lunch in the cafeteria, she refused to sit and stood by his bed holding his hand

I am totally in the same boat as you.

I know at least 3 girls (they were 20/21-ish when I was 17 and are now around 25) who felt it was "natural" to get pregnant when they were in their last semester or fourth semester etc and they all regret it. One of them is like "I spent so much time on my computer science degree, worked for 6 months (while pregnant) and now I sit at home on my butt all day or follow my kid around. That's my life." They love their kids of course but they always tell me to wait and enjoy school, a job, my marriage...before I give it all up to run around after a couple of kids all day long. I am sure there are people who would rather do that than other things but my attitude and opinion towards it is the same as these girls' and inshallah I intend to learn from their experiences.

i dont know why you guys are bothered by girls who wanted to have babies early on or want babies in a hurry. big deal. is it altering your own right to make a choice in any way? i dont think so. let it go.

if those people look down at people who wait a while to have kids, then you're doing the exact same thing.

not bothered. all I said was that it doesn't make sense to me.

don't be hypersensitive, sally.

i'm not being hypersensitive...just really didn't think it's that big of a deal because there are so many things that happen that don't make sense to me like really young people choosing to get married and all that..to each their own.

I agree man, come on.. Nobody is "looking down" on anybody here. I even said there might be people who prefer looking after kids all day which is there decision... I on the other hand would prefer to do other things before I get to that point in life. I mean do you think I'm making it up about my friends who had kids thinking it was just "natural" for them and then regretted waiting? They have degrees that they cant use for another several years (until the kids are older) but by the time they can work, too much time will have passed and they don't have any "experience" to back them up. I'm sure there are people who DONT regret it and want more kids but that is their opinion and this is mine.
