It’s really hard to have parents who aren’t understanding sometimes. My husband is Muslim, but I’m not. We’re raising our child to be Muslim. Whenever im w my parents they always try to contradict what I do or say w either myself or my child. For example, I told my father today, my baby can’t eat pork because of her religion & I don’t eat pork since I’ve been w my husband. He goes to say “she doesn’t know anything about religion, she’s a baby & you use to eat pork before you met him.” Sometimes I feel like my parents, especially my father, can’t accept the fact that I’m an adult & can make my own decisions. Everything I do or say gets critiqued, it’s just tiring. My parents aren’t bad ppl, but they’re very ignorant when it comes to certain things.
