    Okay, this is how I do it

    1. I always say "yes." When my parents tell me to do something, I SAY I'll do it.
    2. I compromise. I go to the mosques on fridays (whenever I don't have school) so I can skip the other 34 prayers of the week.
    3. I try to avoid the topic, or my parents altogether. The latter isn't easy since we live in the same house.
      If the conversation does turn that way, just don't say anything. Pretend to listen.
      But I don't think the pressure on me is to the point of "absurd."

              if you need advice for the "meantime" it must really be tough ? Or is it a typo ;D

              lol. i crack me up.

              ps i dealt with it by being me - moved out very young - and went far away - but this might not be the best way to go for everybody. So, my advice is BE YOURSELF even if it implicates kissing goats...

              actually the whole problem is because I want to marry a goat, i feel wrong kissing without commitment. But my father said no son of my will marry a goat, you come from a heritage of proud indian/saskatchewan men. oh lk, what is a brother to do??

                  I find that zoning out can help sometimes... uh huh... uh huh... ya ya ya... repeat this several times and you should be good to go.

                  Zenje, were not talking about being married, were talking about my parents!!

                    Same thing... you are getting married to your mother, you just don't know it yet.

                    Oh, I wasn't supposed to say that... yet. -X

                        1. Did We not relieve your chest
                        2. And take from you your load
                        3. Which had put strain on your back?
                        4. And We have raised your remembrance
                        5. So with hardship comes ease.
                        6. With hardship comes ease.
                        7. So when you are done, then stand.
                        8. And to your Lord you shall seek.

                        peace

                          Is the hardship marrying my mother, or is that the ease ? hmm
