Re: Raising kids in a different culture
for me making sure that my brother wears a shalwar kameez (he hasn't had a new one in years. he just has 2 that rotate each eid) is so he doesn't feel ashamed or weird about wearing shalwar kameez, so he feels proud and comfortable wearing shalwar kameez just as he is comfortable wearing a jeans and a tshirt. it's just part of making sure he is in touch with a little bit of the cultural stuff. me i guess it's cuz that's what i used to do back home and i've kinda got used to the feeling that it's not eid unless you're wearing shalwar kameez.
