@dia...
Yeh the eid holidays here are for 9 days.. Cant do much this time (other than go to a mall every other day) but will definitely be put to good use next year
@self flagellation... Difficult to explain to non shias really... It's ... I dont know... It's kind of like with the animal sacrifices during Eid ul Adha... It is sort of intrinsic to you but difficult for outsiders to understand
@molly coddling parents... I know right... Kids nowadays cannot even have unsupervised play without it being seen as bad parenting... Probably something to do with the modern age where are social circle has become increasingly limited..or maybe people are less forgiving and more sensitive now? A fight between kids (over before it begins) somehow turns into a fight between the parents...
In karachi, my neighbor would send her toddler down to me so the kids could play... Maryam would get enthusiastic.. Maybe hit the other girl with her soft toys or sort of smack in head to get her attention... And next day i would be getting veiled references from my maid that i should never leave the two kids alone 🤔 what the hell man...
