[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am tired of the housewife vs working mom divide too. So many bored housewives without jobs that get mad that the working moms aren’t busting out dish after dish to take to the mosque and say it’s unfair they are making most of the meals. We don’t have time like the housewives do so there’s that tension as well. Many of the dynamics remind me of Dcurbanmom in a strange way.[/quote] There is always some divide for people who focus on it, race, class, ethnicity, work, sect, education, profession, marital status etc etc. so you just need to fix your own mindset. We don't do iftar at the mosque as we eat our simple everyday healthy food, nothing fancy. However, in our mosque there is no compulsion, you can bring home made food, order catering, bring dates or water bottles, contribute to community iftar collection or just walk in on days you can't. Obviously it would be wrong to take wrongful advantage by burdening SAHMs with all the cooking or well off families with all the expenses. Many of the brothers are great cooks and do more cooking than their wives, many wealthy families pay for catering to cover a weekend's iftar. You do ehat you can or want to. No community is perfect, you need to be the example you want to set. If people know you don't gossip or become advocate of the person not present then people respect that and almost never gossip around you. Few good or bad people can set the tone for whole group.
