What’s cooking in the chambers of every lochal
house? Oh yes I haven’t uploaded an entry in a long time. Shut up and read (and
I mean it in a very friendly loving way). It’s funny how lochal households
work. Everyone is in everybody’s business. Everybody knows who’s moving out,
who had their driving license, who’s building a house.. etc. etc. then marriage
and engagement comes in the picture and eeeeeeeeeeeverybody just keeps it all
secretive and hidden. So where does this fit in the picture? Friday is a family
gathering day, I’m sure it happens in every Emirati house (my parents house is
no exception). My mother in law is always up my ass asking about why my married
sister isn’t pregnant with her third child yet, which is weird considering the
fact that I didn’t know about my sister in law’s pregnancy until she gave birth
to her eighth child (or seventh, I don’t know I lost count I’m sorry.. when you
have 5 sisters in law you simply lose count). Hiding such information doesn’t
offend me or make me feel jealous. Seriously why would I? but when it comes to
the fact that they hide such information and expect me to give away similar
info.. okay I get confused.. thirty minutes ago his highness has sent me a bbm
message telling me about his sister’s melcha.. She’s been engaged for five
months and I politely tried to avoid asking about when she’s getting formally
engaged because I believe things like this are strictly personal. And I’m in no
situation to ask about such stuff. But when your mother in law asks about such
stuff when it comes to your family you expect it to be okay.. then her own daughter
has her melch and you as a daughter in law are excluded from the knowledge..
well I’m confused.. if they have the right to except my sister to pop a kid
every year then.. why are they all hushed about it. Are news of marriage and
babies that shameful?? I know prophet mohammed has said “اقضوا
حوائجكم بالكتمان”
but not radically LOL! Anyway I wish my sister in law all the best. All of you
brides to be, enjoy it to the max and may God grant you all the happiness in
the world. Celebrate with me, because life is a satire
