Muslims and birthdays

A family moved in next door and they are Muslim (this is important).
I have spoke to the parents a few times but not enough to consider it a friendship. So I feel awkward asking them.

Our kids are similar in age and there daughter plays with our daughter everyday. We learnt today that her borthday is in 2 weeks.

So the question is: is it appropriate for us to buy her a gift from our daughter?
Is there anything specific we should get her?
Or is this crossing a cultural/religious line?

For reference she will be 12.

I think it’s really sweet and thoughtful of you. We always celebrate birthdays and it’s a big deal for my family. I think they’d appreciate the thoughtful gesture and you wouldn’t be offending x

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Bestie?

Let’s skip to the good part and just be besties? Text, call, ft.. play dates or just simply hang out. Just want a genuine mommy friend. I’m in NYC but we can be long distance besties too 💕
