Ramadan Playground:
You know during Ramadan, Muslims come out and when they come out they bring...their children.
Yes...children.
That's cool but when you have three 7~8 yr olds acting like toddlers, and the toddlers are acting better than them, that's a problem.
First off they should been either at home or during some after Ishaa rakats.
At the age of seven, children have to start learning how to pray, fast etc, but in small amounts they can handle.
However letting your reasoning kids run a mock all over the mosque is nerve racking and uncalled for.
Tonight I was baby-sitting two children for another sister and her daughter needed to pee.
So, I accidently (something told me not to ask anyone) asked one sister to watch the baby that I was watching while I take the older one to the bathroom.
She says smartly: It's not my child.
I was like: Who said it was yours, heifer.
I mean, I have had to deal with people being utter smarty pants all my life and usually Im nice about it. After this, it's on now. Im not expecting ppl to be nice however I am going to repay the same coin they paid me. Insha'allah.
But I had my temper and took them both to the bathroom with me like the badass mother I am. I decided from now on, Im going to be the badass mother who can do it all since everyone since wants to head for the hills.

Kids are kids, and they act immaturely in the masjid, but it's more of the parent's faults because they don't keep their children properly in check and don't reprimand them properly if they're causing a ruckus. In my mosque, and probably others too, while everyone's praying all the kids run up and down across the prayer hall and in front of people, even when they have a whole basement dedicated to playing. Its gotten to the point that it interferes with praying. Two six year olds just sat right in front of me when I was praying while playing hide and seek. Parents, who usually take good care of their kids let them run wild in the place where they should be the most respectful

If my daughter was seven yrs old, she would not be running a muck during prayer. She would be learning how to prayer or be at home given that the msoque didnt have a space for the children. Right now she is one and a half, but I still try to watch her.

That was so rude of her, I have always had a smart mouth, and i definatley would have slipped and said something confused
Have these people never heard of 'treat others how you'd want to be treated'? I treat people with respect, but i won't let them walk all over me either. And i'm glad you're not.
I'm not for spanking a kid or hitting them, but at least making an attempt to raise them with knowing certain places require a certain attitude would be so nice =/
Insha'allah, when i have kids they will be calm and behave, or it's going to be one long and hard road for them....
