I'm panicking. We just adopted a 12 week old kitten. My 12 year old cat is pissed at me. My dog wants to be friends with the cats, but the cats are less than enthused. I'm keeping the new kitten in the bathroom when they can't all be supervised. What was I thinking? We can't give the kitten back because my toddler is in love. Please tell me it will be OK.

I hurt. I feel like I can never do enough to get ahead. Can't seem to land a new job to make enough money to survive. And as a man whenever I talk to someone about how I'm feeling all I get is, "Welcome to being a husband and father!" Every 1 step forward I try and take i get pushed 2 steps back. Feeling incapable.

Why doesn't my wife get that it's just me and the great dane now. She making this awkward wanting some room in the bed.

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

Hi! Have any here gone the natural cycle IVF route? What was your experience like? Did you have success in growing your family this way? Would you recommend it to others?

Been living with my parents for a year to save money. We Get along well and have few issues. However I feel like I am not enjoying my 20s because I don’t want to put my parents at risk (I am responsible with covid, barely go out). Do you think it is worth it to move out and pay rent even though things are not normal anymore or should I just stay and save and invest knowing things go back to normal soon?

I have been married for 3 years. We have been trying to have a baby and found out my husband is shooting blanks and requires surgery to possibly resolve that. Recovery is 4 weeks and he refused. He is also not open to adopting or fostering or using someone else’s sperm. What do I do now?

I keep explaining to my bf that if we get married, he'll be limited to what he can invest in. He refuses to tell me which stocks he invests in and said he'll invest in what he wants. What do I do?

It’s during this time of year that I’m reminded of how the word ‘no’ does not work with my beloved little kin who insist on climbing and trying to eat random inedible objects.

Anyone else feel guilty for finding this so hard? I don’t have children or sick relatives and I still have a job. I know there’s LOTS to be thankful for. But I’m not ok. I feel claustrophobic. I feel drained at 7pm each day. Never worked so intensely and so alone. There’s no line between work life and home life. Everything my boyfriend does annoys me. My apartment is a mess. I can’t sleep. Don’t have time to exercise. I know this is stress but feel like I shouldn’t speak up

What are some myths you all have heard to figure out if you’re having a boy or girl?

Salam brothers and sisters, I need help approaching a certain situation.

I'm in the early stages of talking to a girl and we really like each other. It's taken a long time to find this "click" with someone. And as much as I hate the term "halal haram ratio", I would say we're pretty similar (I.e only eating halal, not drinking, fasting, family values, etc.)

However, there is one specific thing that bothers me....... (cont)

After I eat sehri, I just want to lay down while my stomach looks like a mountain. Then I become so lazy to get up for fajr. Shaitan is locked up, it feels like I’m the shaitan, don’t wanna get up ...

Is it ok to swipe on bumble while fasting. I mean I don’t want to but then I get notifications lol

Confession thread: What’s the wildest thing you did so far in your consulting career? Let’s hear some interesting stories!

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

Guys, I am a desi getting married in 9 months and would like to ask the brothers and sisters who got married recently in the US or back home. What was your mehr? There seem to be very different numbers based on culture and geography. Trying to get more data points for better understanding.

If any brothers need a spot to stay in and are open to Burlingame (SF area) LMK iA!

Own room and bathroom with a parking spot for 1200.

Are Muslim men scared of approaching Muslim women?

Do you ever find your mind wandering during Salah? I used to pray regularly when I was younger, fell off a bit over the last few years and am trying to get back to it.
