My daughter is 'in love' with someone she met online?
She just turned 16 and I remember telling her strictly NOT to add people on Facebook that she didn't know. But the other day I opened the account and behold - she didn't know half of her contacts! I was so ticked and busy deleting them when she started crying and literally pleading me not to delete this one guy that she had added. Apparently they had exchanged their pictures and now she was head over heels in love with him and wants to meet him in person - even though she has never met him and has only 'known' him for a month. I honestly have never heard of something so absurd and when I told her that she said 'Do you have to be so heartless?' and burst into another onslaught of tears. Is such a thing even possible - I mean - is there something wrong with her? How can I help her or talk some sense into her head? Is this even normal for her to be so emotional about it? I find it all very unnerving....As a parent, what would you do?
16 year old daughter talks to herself?
My 16 year old is talking to herself! She has imaginary friends when she was little through preschool but it stopped when she was in K. It was not abnormal to me. I recently overheard her talking to herself. She was having a full on conversation with a real life friend but no one was there and she wasn't on the phone. When she was little she would do this when she was in the bathroom or alone like coloring or playing with toys. I thought it was fine but did not realize it has continued all these years. I have been overhearing it more and more lately where she will talk to someone that's not there. She was talking about a book she read and what she wanted to wear like her friend was in the room with her. Is this normal? I have not said anything to her yet or let her know that I overheard it for fear of embarrassing her if something is really wrong. Its like she still has imaginary friends but its with people she actually knows. I am afraid she has kept this up for years and just was very good at hiding it. She's very smart and has tons of friends and is a normal healthy teenager. But now im worried a bit and just wanted to know if anyone has experience with this. Thanks in advance.
Do parents have the right to force their daughter to marry someone whom she doesn't like? Is it necessary that the girl should marry someone of their wish because all other needs are satisfied by them? Is this allowed in Islam?
Hi, thank you for your question!NO!!! Parents have absolutely no right to “marry their daughter off” to somebody, neither do they have the right to marry their son “off” to somebody he does not like.Allah (swt) has blessed these parents with the guardianship of the child, this does not mean that they are allowed to decide over the life of their children!Forced marriage has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, its origins lie in cultural traditions. However, it is absolutely haram to marry off your child, whether it’d be your son or your daughter, to somebody they do not like.Both men and women are allowed to choose their partners, if the parents agree or not does not matter.I suggest you watch this video, it is an interview done by the brother Ali Dawah with Mufti Menk, about exactly that topic.If you are in this situation, may Allah (swt) forbid, then be assured that your parents have no right to do so! You will surely find support by your local Shaykh or Imaam.I hope this answers your question! Allah (swt) knows best!Mufti Menk & Ali Dawah Parents rejecting proposal & Forced marriages
Is it OK for a daughter to talk to her dad about puberty?
Would a 16 year old daughter talking to her dad about puberty be ok or would it be wrong? This 16 year olds mom isn't around Some of the questions are somewhat sexual Like '' is it normal to feel sexual frustration? " " should I use protection if I'm with a girl? " " is it bad I space out thinking of girls ? " Would it be wrong for a daughter to ask those types of questions? Or is it wrong? I'm wondering cause idk if I should talk to my dad about things or not. I would talk about it to my step mom but she's homophobic and would just make me feel bad about myself.
What's the part where kevin hart is talking about his daughters sleepover? Like what movie is it on or show?
It's on his "Seriously Funny" DVD. Near the beginning. Like 10-15 minutes in.
When should I give my daughter the puberty/sex talk?
I think it's a perfect time to talk to your daughter about puberty. She is around the age that a lot of girls do start their periods. So it wouldn't hurt, for her to have the knowledge of what changes her body will be going through. - the sex talk, hmm.. I think the best time would be right before she goes in to 6th grade (middle school). You might be surprised and she might know more then you think. -just start to talk to her about the puberty thing and kinda feel it out if you should continue the conversation on to the sex subject. good luck : )
How do I get her dads approval to date his daughter?
You look very happy together, and I am impressed that you care enough about her dad to want his approval. I’m the father of a 20-something daughter, and that would certainly get my attention in a favorable way.Now please forgive me, but I think it’s important to ask this: is there any possibility that he would not accept you dating his daughter on the basis of your race? For me, the only thing I would care about is whether you’re going to treat my daughter well, and whether she’ll be happy with you. Some people are rather more sensitive to mixed race dating, and that can become very awkward, very quickly. Fortunately, you have her to guide you in that regard.Assuming race is not going to be an issue, I think your next hurdle is age. 20 is a little young to be dating a 26-year-old. Again, your seeking his approval is something that shows maturity beyond your years, and may mitigate any age-related objections he may have. You can also address this by demonstrating that you’re more mature than the average 20-year-old guy in other areas. Do you have career goals, have you taken steps even now to meet them, do you have financial means, and are you carefully stewarding your resources so that you’ll never have to ask him for a few bucks to tide you over till payday?Beyond that, you really just want to establish a rapport with the guy. Take interest in his hobbies and interests. Does he play golf? Ask him to critique your swing—or if you don’t play, ask him for his guidance on a set of beginner clubs, buy them, and practice. Or maybe he likes to work on cars. Get him talking about his latest project or something related to that. It’s okay if you aren’t a car guy yourself, you can still express interest in it and encourage him to talk about it. Getting a guy to talk about a subject he enjoys will cause him to feel some of that joy and connect it with your presence. By getting him to like you, you’ll show—not tell—him that you’re a likeable guy, and someone he could surely trust to treat his daughter well.I dunno, I feel like this is a somewhat diffuse answer and not very helpful. What do you think, have I given you anything to work with?Best of luck to you!
My daughter is stuffing her bra?????
You should help her with her self-image and self-confidence. She's doing it because she doesn't feel that her breasts are adequate enough. She may be jealous of other girls in her class who are developing earlier than her. This is very normal. She should be told that girls develop at different rates, and that a slower rate is not a sign of inferiority. All in due time.
