My last post seems to have upset somebody (I think that means I’ve “made it” in the blog world?). Pinnacle wrote-
Violence should not be an attribute of a wife, or for that matter, a woman!
You shouldn’t greet your husband in this shameless way.
Afterall, Islam is a a faith of PEACE and humility.
Instead of displeasing him, you should have a nice dinner ready for him. How would you feel coming home to such a thing?
Think about your actions before you act!My two cents.
I’m sorry to have offended you. I do believe you are over-reacting though.
I don’t think a water bomb fight would be classified as violence or something shameless and with this we could argue until the cows come home. YMMV.
I did think very carefully before I recruited my 2 sons and ambushed him with the water bombs and if there was any chance he would have been “displeased” I would not have done it. I would never purposely do anything to upset him.I know my husband. The same way I know which members of my family would enjoy a surprise water bomb fight – I would never do this to my mother – she’d be mortified. I would probably only try this with one of my sisters. My brother would have grabbed our stockpile and have fought back
My relationship with my husband is one of mutual respect, understanding and love (and as Dictator Princess would say, don’t y’all go hating) and along with that – we have fun. I don’t like the implication that my actions go against Islam. Yes, Islam is a religion of peace and humility but that does not mean we cannot have fun with our loved ones. My husband has already mentioned he enjoyed the surprise and inshaAllah we will be getting bigger balloons for another spontaneous battle! 
Is the sister you would “try this with” the same one you used to dack while she was washing dishes (and then roll around on the floor in hysterics)?!
Yep, that’d be the one! Muhahahahah!!
LOL… don’t worry about ‘em Tasmiya. Seems like there will always be someone has *something* to say about everyone else! They just can’t stop themselves.
Salaam;
I can’t imagine my husband reacting in anything other than laughter, either (and then he’d plot to get me back).
Laughter and joy between spouses is highly encouraged in Islam and is the sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him — why are some people so intent upon turning Islam into the dour religion of the Puritans? Criticizing, chastising, holding everyone up to a particular litmus test of “religiosity”.
Anyway, am in complete agreement w/Leena, masha’Allah. Pay it all no heed. You know what you meant, and you know best what the results were. A blog is a rather limited look into someone else’s life and it rather behooves us not to give in to the temptation of assuming the worst just because we may not necessarily agree.
