Like So Much Wet Laundry In A Bag

I sat on the couch trying to fix the fringe on my hijab that got messed up in the wash. I looked over at the bag of wet laundry that still needed to be hung to dry. I continued on the fringe. My mind wandered. My mom is giving me a hard time. I'm trying to deal with it. She's annoyed that I changed my cell phone number. Here's news: so am I. I didn't enjoy receiving weird text messages and phone calls. I've had the same phone number for the last 8 years, and it was an easy one to remember. Oh well, what could I do?

She's also annoyed that I'm muslim. It's been 5 years, get over it! She's being kind of mean about it though. I have a headache.

I wish I didn't have to think about what my mom is putting me through right now. I need to focus. There's so much to get done, so many things to do, so many things to look forward to. The next couple of weeks are going to be so busy.

I better hang up my wet laundry.

Yes, there are way more important things to focus on. Your mom will always be that way. Muslim or not.

:D

Sadly they never get over it. My parents are probably some of the most ideal non muslim parents alhamdulilah and even they would like it if I wasn't muslim. They don't like my clothes or the fact that I don't want to associate with certian people anymore. On our vacation in May i got into it with my dad about the hijab just like every year when I see him. He ended up crying saying that he will never talk about it again...and I really think he meant it.

Hope things get better soon :)

Yeah... for the most part she's tolerated and doesn't say much or does her passive-aggressive actions to show how she feels. However, the other day, she specifically told me she loves me but doesn't condone me being muslim. The word condone bugged me. That's for something like me telling her I'm a prostitute, lesbian, porn star... but muslim? Condone seems a bit harsh to me...
Thanks for the thoughts ladies.
