listen, i was EXACTLY the same with my parents…specially with mom. Im the oldest daughter and being oldest daughter i never fulfilled my duty as i was suppose to. But then as i said being stay away from them and livin alone i realized how much i need to talk to my mom. I talk to her more openely than my best fren now. Yes in the beginning she was like eek wats wrong with my daughter but then with good ideas i explain her every thing. When i talk to my mom or dad i make sure that I can at least give them the reference of Islam in the light of Quran and hadith, it always help and i always can convince them this way
I've been living away from home for over 2 years now myself..and yes..communication has gotten better with my mom....and a little bit with my dad as well..
but like i said...we still kinda swirve around the topics of marriage etc..
It's like the whole elephant in the room syndrome....nobody is comfortably willing to acknowledge that there's a problem...
well honey then u have to open up, if not ur parents then u have to. Who u gonna talk to then....not ur neighbors i bet! So, parents are there for you and its ur job in ur case to make them realize of what you want!
Wow. We truly are opposites. I was in no hurry to get married whilst living with my parents but after 2 years without them I'm in a rush to get them to hook things up.
It was very awkward to bring up at first, my mother would swerve around it or refuse to acknowledge that I want to get married. Eventually I confronted her outright and things are easier since.
i have nothing to say, but I need to let them know what kind of person I'd prefer...so that they don't just grab any 'eligible' guy and dangle him in front of me
Also, I need to let them know that I'd be most comfortable just finding somebody on my own..I'm pretty sure they trust me enough not to fall for any 'aeira gheira'
