So why is it that when 3-4 women get together ANYWHERE as in ANYWHERE, they have to talk about:
How their husbands’ foolish habits have caused them so much grief and how noble they are to be able to manage them.
How they are so frugal that while everyone in the home eats tazzi rotiyan, they make do with 3 day old baasi rotis.
How they spend all their money shopping for their in laws that they hardly buy one new jora in a year [mind you, they are usually wearing a freshly imported outfit that I have never seen before].
How their kids are the most hyper animals on the face of the earth, just like their dadihaal.
Well, the last time I sat around a few women, the conversation was all about how to keep the husband from running away, lol. That was one interesting topic, I must say.
However, generally, the topics are usually based around husbands, kids, food, and the home.....how boring! My conversations are usually based around my career and fashion, but that's because I have no husband yet, or kids, or my own house, and when I do, I hope not to end up like those women.
I must admit that none of my friends are at this stage in their lives... Most of us are very happily engaged/married and will rarely discuss personal family matters with each other unless it is something that is really worth talking about. I guess it's because we don't get to meet up often that we don't make time to involve ourselves in conversation about how many outfits we've purchased over the past year or how our mum in laws are.
I couldn't be friends with a constant moaner, it would annoy me too much!
Because I am not married my topics include - which guy looked hot the other day, fashion, how we envisage our future, careers, uni hmmmm i hope when im not married i sit and talk about the topics u mentioned niks
When my mums friends are over they talk about husbands, us kids and the home but i have never heard them talking about what you mentioned in number 2 about being frugal. Interesting
you need to change your company.. I feel really blessed Alhamdulillah that none of my friends do this and even the women gatherings that I go to never bring up such issues.. most of the conversations are usually around recipes to share, projects for the community etc or once in a blue moon regarding the outfit that you are wearing!!
Some close friends and I usually just vent on phone if needed but thats only very occasional.. no habitual whiners!
Most of my close friends are pretty cool like yours, so we have a blast when we get together. These are a specific breed I talk about that I associate with because of a masjid commitment I have. Unfortunately, they talk like this at the masjid, or at field trips we arrange and even if we’re having a get together at one of their places, hence my thread!
