Re: Shaabaash
I didn’t, either. In fact, my parents absolutely hated it when people would try to bring up these stories about XYZ’s awful MIL or ABC’s hellish nand. They always believed that there are multiple sides to a story and that talking about it was gheebat. Unfortunately, it’s hard to avoid those stories when it’s all everybody speaks about at parties, weddings, masjids, etc. So I got quite the earful growing up…unfortunately. Thank goodness my parents countered it all with some common sense.
