Before kids, we would pray at the largest Eid namaz gathering in our area, about 30 minutes from where we lived…both my family and his family would go there too so no conflict of interests lol, but there would always be a tussle between us over whose family to go home with/visit first.

After kids, we got actively involved with a smaller masjid about 2 miles from our house, against my wishes. i didn’t want to break from tradition of praying Eid namaz with my family. But I must admit it is now much easier to handle with small children, and my husband and I have made bonds there together as a unit, independent of either of our families. After I became a mother, especially, I learned that I can’t keep forcing my memories, norms and traditions from bachpan/childhood upon my husband and kids. It’s time to make new memories and traditions for our children that will be there very own

It’s not worth it to get in a tiff over. There is nothing unfair about alternating which side of the family to pray Eid namaz with.

(And I am also born and raised in the US, so I understand where you’re coming from)

Hopefully, one eid prayer is behind a male imam while the next is behind a female imam .

TO BE FAIR..
