| [slm] Alhamdulillah sister, I am so glad your son is ok. Just a couple of months ago, I heard about this Pakistani guy, getting beat up by 2 or 3 kids. He was delivering a pizza. 2 or 3 guys(minors) beat that one guy, who had just graduated from college I think, with baseball bats. He died in the hospital 2 days later. It was so awful. And the guys who beat him up had no reason too. It was just a thrill thing for them. I thank Allah and pray everyday for my children and thier safety, I saw in the news how the mother was crying for her son, her only son. It was so so sad. You know just this morning when I read your post, I was in such a bitter mood cuz my kids didn't let me sleep at all all night. One is 5 years old and the other is 18 months. But after reading your post I realize(again) that we should be thankful to Allah for keeping our kids safe and sound. No matter how much they drive you crazy, keep you up all night, be a pain in the --- I wouldn't trade them for the world. May Allah keep all of our kids under His protection and Imaan, Ameen [wlm] |

| Now that this is a couple days behind us and I've had time to think about it. I can understand how my son felt with 4 thugs at his car door. Yet looking back on it and his explaination, I know he was freaked but seems there must of been a better way to handle it. He did no 'action' per say yet he could of been in a lot of trouble and lost many rights and privilages should these guys have lied and not admitted they went to his car door (all 4) and I know the road he was on, it is dark with no businesses on it per say he could of ran into, 4 men jumping out of their car at an intersection and coming to your car door cusing and challanging you is not a crime, but what my son did, (letting him know he had a way to protect himself so back off) could of been a crime. I would really like to have a talk with my son about this and suggest ways to better deal with any future situations he may (hopefully not) incounter in his life. He was about to call 911 till the guys got a flat and pulled off the road. If you call saying guys are following you and flashing lights and giving the finger and passing you and slowing down, that is not an emergancy, but them calling and saying a guy had a gun, well, they found my son lightening quick. Which I understand. It's ashame someone has to beat your face in before you can defend yourself. If anyone has ideas I can present to my son I would appreciate them in a post or IM if you feel better that way. Bro's had this been your son, how would you advise him? I just thank God the guys got a flat and I thank God my son wasn't beaten. I thank God those thugs told the truth about approaching my son. I am also going to go down to our legal library the country has and copy laws for my son to read about this and any ideas any of you have I'd apreciate. Thank you. A mothers job is never done. OH and PS: to Savaira, I'm glad my post made you less frustrated with your children. I unbderstand though ;) Believe me I understand ::) Just remember, we are only given them a short time, 18 years to legally be with them goes by quicker than you can ever believe. My 6 lbs 4 oz little shrimp is now a father and trying to get on the police dept. Ever hear if empty nest syndrome??? IT EXISTS, believe me. Please hug and love and be with them all you can before their future spouses come along. If it's night, even if you are tired, if they can't sleep, remember, you'll be an old lady without them full time like me someday, take them in your arms, pop some pop corn and snack and read to them or talk to them even if it is 10 or 11 at night ;) The little 18 month old, wrap your loving mommy arms around them and sing your heart out to them, read quran, make up long long time ago stories, even if they can't understand, the sound of your voice will be all they need, the 5 year old? Bring out the markers and paper even at 11 at night, it is all time well spent ;) Just some advice from an old lady who wishes she could turm back time and do things differently and have her sons little again. |
