Almost everyone been calling me or coming over to see how im doing .. ( which is so nice ) but also most of them wanted to give me Great advice! (according to them)
Some advice were ok, and some were heh.. but .. no one could ever top this one:
I got a phone call from a friend on a Saturday,
F: Zanooooooooob .. dear how are u and hows the baby doing???
Z: alhimdellah were doing fine .. making it day by day .. :)
F: so when can we go out??
Z: yeah i really want to go out .. but i think its still too soon to leave 3abood u know .. since im the only one taking care of him and he needs me to feed him every two hours.
F: what about ur Khadama? (maid)
Z: what about her?
F: Let her take care of him for two hours!
Z: Hes just a new born! i cant let some stranger take care of him .. plus im his mother! im here and free why would i do that?
F: YAL MAYNOOOOONA!!! (ur insane!) you must let her hold him, change him, and pump some milk and let her feed him .. let her get used to doing all of these things from now when hes small, so that it will be very easy for her when hes older. Remember even when he cries .. let her walk with him till he stops crying with her .. make sure its with her ..
Z: @@ (no comment!)
F: so that when he he cries .. all you have to do is give him to her, he will stop crying my dear! wa7da b wa7da! ask me ;)
Z: @@ aha ..
F: plus let him sleep with her so that he will get used to her smell from now!
Z:: @@ uhhmmm ..
F: if you do all of this trust me you will be back to ur normal life in no time!! you will go out and everything .. u wont even remember you became a mother .. because you will know he is safe back home .. your life will be normal in no time.
Z: ok dear .. thanks for calling i really have to go now...!
SO BEING A MOTHER IS NOT NORMAL!!! i dont know whether to laugh or cry! this was so strange to me .. i dont know how some people think .. i really didnt care .. i didnt listen to a word she said .. i would have corrected her, but since i know the PERSON she is .. those 100% right all the time people .. i didnt want to waist my time on the phone arguing with her .. what really broke me .. was her (kid) who was a baby 3 years ago, who according to her does not even know the smell of his own mother :`(
This kind of new fashionable mothers is being popular amongst kuwaitis .. i really wish they would know that not being with your baby (newborn!) will kill the bond you will have with your kids .. for ever .. and it is unrepairable. With each child you only get to have one chance.. because they grow up so fast :) so don't miss it.
* Hope everyone is well ..
thanks for all ur prev emails .. im feeling super! drinking lots and lots of water .. down side of all this is that im not fasting this month :( allah e3eni 3l dain :p

iF they want to forget that they are mothers, why they became mothers in the first place?
Hathee elkuwait o 9al 3ala annabi!
LOL.
one small correction
'waste my time' not 'waist my time'
btw great blog! you have made it to justkuwait.net/blog/
I thought she was joking;s!
wow
so this is new mothering ha?
there is no shame in having help and letting your househelp hold the baby " with you monitoring" when you need to run to the toilet or take a shower ..etc
but the first 6-7 months are the most valuable and essential for bonding with your baby, you create this beautiful relationship that lasts a lifetime.
If going out and having fun all the time is a priority in ones life then they should think again before having kids...
may Allah bless you and your child
Get well soon
and Have lots of fun with your baby they grow up toooo fast :)
moo kaser kha6re ghair hal baby ele allah balah eb chithy om
I'm not surprised; I've heard many stories of parents leaving everything up to the maids, including their children.
LOLL !! yala sim3ay kalamha :P

this is getting very common in q8..wallah I feel sorry for the babies.
ignore her... you are doing the right thing! Aham shay get used to the nanny's smell! WTH!!!
Plus all my friends are being good mothers to their babies... and I am seeing and admiring that in them! Inshalla you continue on your ways
ambaih...
i cant believe this is actually true!
No please dont do that...I hate to see new born kids away from their mother :/
What a MOMster!
This is very sad walla// I am seen as a crazy person because I don't have a maid but I prefer that my 3 year old goes to the nursary than stay at home with a khadama..
I am thinking of getting khadama now but not for my kids, only for cleaning and ironing and the lot..
I'm sorry bs ihyaaaaa il maynooonaa!!!!!
wth!!

When a woman becomes pregnant, and has a baby, her life can never go back to what it was like before.
That's why couples should wait a while before having a child to enjoy married life properly and get to know each other well.
A baby is supposed to change your life and being a mother is the most wonderful feeling in the world as you are finding out now.
It will take time to adjust to this new life and sometimes it's frustrating because you're dealing with a baby who will not wait for you to figure things out but is demanding.
Time does pass and these moments and many more inshallah will be cherished by you. It is the best gift you can give your child is to be there for him or her and develop that intimate bond.
Best of luck always
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL zain ma sm3tay kalmha ;p
There's this maid & driver who I always see at the end of school...
ahwa esed 3ala the teachers' cars, the maid gets out of the car, picks up the student's bag and they walk to the car yetmakh6eroon 3ala ra7at'hum... The student treats the maid like her mom, hugging and joking..
I'm all for being nice with the maid, but not THAT nice...
Enshalla 3abood never never never knows the smell of the maid..
Ya36eech el 3afya, babe :*
