If a non hijabi wants to put on a hijab during ramadan, let them be. If someone starts praying in ramadan, let them be. Do not mock and call them a fake muslim. Verily, this month can change and make them better than you. Let this month be free of judgements.
“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”
The message came in at 11 PM:
“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”
Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.
New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”
She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.
Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.
I stopped the interview and said:
“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
We hired her.
She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.
Why?
Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.
Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.
Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.
If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.
You’re filtering for privilege.
your children don’t belong to you. you’re on borrowed time with them. your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build a better human being; not to build a mini version of you and all your deflated hopes and dreams. help them become the best THEM not the best YOU
Kalo di Islam namanya ngasih ✨️70 udzur✨️ buat saudara kita alias berusaha cari alesan baik, cari pembenaran atas kesalahan mereka, atau gak lgsg berburuk sangka. Dan ketika gak nemu alesannya, kita bisa simply mikir, "mungkin dia punya alesan yg aku gak tau". MasyaAllah yaaa
Baru aja denger definisi financial independence yg sangat menarik dari Prita Ghozie:
1. Tidak menjadikan ortu dana darurat
2. Tidak menjadikan anak dana pensiun
3. Tidak menjadikan teman sumber paylater
Too many young Muslims brothers who have issues like drinking and clubbing are being pushed to marry religious girls because their family feels they’ll fix them. No one’s daughter is responsible for your son to fix, your son needs to sort his own self out.
pasangan enggak harus 1 hobi.
ngobrol nyambung dan bisa 1 visi kedepan udah cukup.
istri saya suka drakor, saya suka anime
istri saya suka ngemall, saya sukanya main ke alam
istri saya enggak suka olahraga, saya suka badminton, basket, dll
tapi kita bisa ngobrol bisa berjam2 ngomongin banyak hal, cerita masing2 hobi, hal penting dan enggak penting. kalaupun mau diem jg gpp, gak harus ngobrol terus kan yg penting nyaman aja.
walaupun enggak 1 hobi, setidaknya kita sama2 mau dengerin cerita masing2.
