So yesterday I'm at this aunties house and she has a 4 year old kid. When the kids dad is leaving he throws a tantrum about wanting to go with him and his dads like "next time inshaAllah. I'll come and take you to salaah with me". He calms down for a minute but as soon as his dad leaves he starts up again. Instead of taking him to another room, calming him down, talking to him, and possibly punishing him the mom just lets him throw the tantrum and scolds him every now and then. It takes a long while before the mom finally gets up and deals with the situation. Throughout this I'm taking notes of what not to do with my kid. I seriously dont get moms that do this. Especially when its their fault for spoiling the kids when they were younger and giving in to their wishes. Children don't learn that way. You have to be consistant with them from he start or they will think that they can manipulate you by saying "I'll cry if you don't let me".. me wants a kid :(

As far as why I was at an aunties house instead of at home (sleeping) as I would have preferred, my dad had guests over for dinner. One thing I totally dislike about arabs is their extravagance in meals when they have guests. I am definatly not against ikram al dayf but there is a limmit.. sadly, most people end up crossing that limmit. I also dislike coming home at 11 to find the kitchen a complete mess.

'ala kulli haal, I have a paper due today that I should work on. The quarter ends in two weeks, walhamdulillah. Registration for next quarter starts on Monday so for all the people petitioning for me not to sign up they have 3 more days :P.
