I've got good news!

My sister told me she is pregnant! I am soooooo thrilled. When hubby heard the news the first thing he said was 'Don't tell the kids.'

CULTURE CLASH! - My sister is single. I think his reaction is stupid. Everyone in Libya watches Oprah, Dr. Phil, Friends, and the list goes on and on. What is the big deal?

What do you think about this?

  9. Congrats to Kirsten - I see no point in 'hiding' this from anyone - what is the point. It is her decision and her life - and your kids deserve to know their newest cousin.

  10. Congratulations on your sister's news. I am a single mom and had my daughter alone. It is hard but children are such a blessing. Best wishes and Ramadan mubarak.

  14. Children and babies are a blessing from God, no matter if the woman is single or not. My two eldest nephews, Christopher and Braden, were both conceived when my sisters (Melissa and Shelly, respectively), were not married. Does that mean I love my nephews any less? I say "tell the kids", but also, hubby has a point. However, they'll find out sooner or later, and I think it should come from you. CONGRATS to you and your sister and the rest of the family for this blessing!

  15. If you are a Muslim and you want to be a hypocrite as well then you can congratulate this issue.

    But let me say that most religions in the purest undistorted forms will condone this, and although its not "hip", "modern" to be against this nowadays it doesn't disguise the pure truth; having a child outside wed lock is wrong. It leads to a breakdown of families, suffering of countless mothers and children.
    One may ask you should judge people within the norms of their culture, well even then its still wrong, especially if you declare your self a Muslim, whats right and wrong remains the same where ever you are.
    The truth hurts, up holding ones beliefs and faith is tough, because a lot of people will be against your views, but faith is not easy, its a tough journey, but in the end should be worth it.

    I know a lot of "people" will not agree with me, I don't care for their agreement, but I don't like hypocrisy.
    Even though it's hard to believe, I say this with a non judgmental view, Allah/God is the judge in all this, and I have no high moral ground "riya" attitude.

    Based on the above let me NOT congratulate you.


    One more thing, I am sure you are not consulting us on whether you should tell your children or not, nor is it our business, so Aladdin and others nor is it y/our business.

    I hope I have not offended any one, I assure that is not my aim.
    We (including "me") are not perfect and I pray that Allah will guide us and forgive us for any wrong.


    P.S: A few points: *It's OK if my comment will be deleted, but I hope its deleted with the whole post!
    *I will probably get 3453543 comments telling me to go to hell, I tell you thats what I'm trying to avoid in the first place.
    * No I am NOT a religious fanatic bent on Islamic domination of the world, but although we are not perfect, that does not mean we should bend the rules to suit us and act "wishy washy" and play along to the tune.
    *Yes, I am anonymous and blah blah blah.....

  16. Well congratulations on becoming auntie..............I am sure your children are old enough to understand what is right and wrong. And their lives are at stake here, should "they" make that choice. Having a child out of wedlock - NO MATTER WHAT "RELIGION" is a choice she made, and so much better than the alternative...........

    THOSE HORMONES DO RUN RAMPID DON'T THEY? HA!

    It is not easy raising children no matter 1 parent, 2 parents, or a whole village, but with lots of love helps.........Sandi

  19. I wish all the best to your sister!

    How can you say such a thing? You don't know her.

    And to anonymous guy.
    She is not a muslim so your rules don't apply to her. God gave her to get pregnant and it was about time. Who is saying she will raise the kid alone or without the love of both parents?
