Walikum Salam wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh sister
Do you have thick hair or soft hair sis . I have noticed with wearing undercap as mine falls back too when I have washed my hair as it is soft . I then put a headband there you no one of them stretchy ones amd then I put my undercap on and it doesn't slip back. Also i sometimes pin my undercaps too sis . Maybe try and put some clips in the side of your undrr cap you no these slider ones for hair
Hope that makes sense and helps you sis.

Fine hair is often slippery with undercaps. Mine is quite fine. I find clips like the sister suggested above useful. Also a fuller size undercap that covers the whole head including bun. I use cotton material

Mubroook!!! What they said haha xx

Hi, I use a full under cap I got from Modanisa, it's less than $2. And it fits over your head and neck

I use cotton ones that you tie at the back. I have it on quite forward maybe. Never had an issue with it slipping back

Thank you all so much💙💙

Mabrook sis! 🖤 this is gonna be such a beautiful journey between you and Your Lord 🙏🏾 May He make it easy and full of blessings for you

I have really fine & silky hair and used to wear caps uncomfortably for years but my hair would alwayssss slip back it was sooo annoying no matter how tight or how many pins I used.
You could either try the cotton and extra pins on the hijab pinning the cap & hijab tightly

OR I wear my hair in a bun and a cotton hijab instesd of a cap and wrap it round my head and tie round my bun

That keeps it more secure (for me) than a cap. Just try different things see what works.

Also for my Sr she uses those spider fabric things that are like a hair tie but look like a huge spider on your head lol! I'll see if I can find a link. They can help to have something for the hijab to "hold onto" if your hair is slippery

You can also get undrcaps with some fabric attached that work the same as the spider hair tye thing. I have both will send pics later!

I get the cotton under caps they are much harder to find but don’t slip

Bestie where are you?!

Hey I really need to make some friends being a mom is so lonely. Distance does not matter to me (I can’t see waves)

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅
