Since we're not generalizing how about we stop assuming that the US is a bad place to raise children since according to you most Americans have low morals. So when Mid Easterners behave badly there are crazy ppl in every country but when Americans do that means we have bad morals...in general.

I hate to argue but you do realize that we're American and saying that most of us have low morals and that *our* homeland is a bad place to raise children is offensive.

we have thought about it for retirement but for now no. that could even change as retirement is along time away.

as for children respecting their parents....my husband daughter wont even call him daddy but his first name due to his ex wife's upbringing of the child. that is not respectable. he might not be her husband any longer but he is his daughters father and should be braught up knowing that. is this how nice muslim woman should be bringing up thier children? so u see ####### happenes everywhere and everyone....not just america.

Please lets not generalize there is crazy people in every country and religion if we continue to bring good and bad example we will never come up with a result, we want this to be a positive debate.
thanks

Hi Kenza
I was just there four months last year. It is true that the time get longer as you stay, especially in the winter time. Ow, I love summer time in Morocco. However, with a job or business, it is great. Me, and my wife are definetly thinking about that, in the future though.


That's the thing though...in Morocco your either very rich with your own business or poor...the only motivation in me going there is to make a difference some how!


One of my wife condition to marry me was to go back to Morocco one day and raise our kids there, I agreed and I always wanted that. the main reason for that is to raise our kids based on Islam and Moroccan tradition, you grow up in the US and you know what happens to a lot of kids in high school( drugs, sex...) its not easy to raise kids in the US, Most of them have no respect for there parents, also think about the third generation and their kids. you are probably one of the lucky ones you were born and raise in the US and grow up as good Muslim, your father did a good job good.gif .
Its not easy to go back to Morocco, espestialy for you because your US is you home and you parents probably still live in the US verces you hubby's parents. if you love your husband you will be happy with him any where he goes. If he ask you this again tell him I will go to the moon with you if you decided so! what ever makes you happy!! star_smile.gif
one more thing lets not jump to conclusion after he come over her he may change his mind like your dad kicking.gif


u r kidding right? i think u need to eat ur words and then come back and appoligize to me.


I apologize to all Americans including my self, I'm not trying to offend any body, I'm human and I do mistakes.
I came to this country with a college degree and I got another one here, I work hard every day, I pay almost $20000 in taxes a year and I don't get back non of it....I don't send money to Morocco I bought a house In NC and I spend every bit of it here....I go to Morocco and other countries every year to learn about other cultures. I didn't come to the US for money or to get citizenship, I already have residency of France from my father they have better social system than US . I came to the US for knowledge and to learn about the culture and it was a very good experience, I have more American friends than Moroccan, my best friend name is Robert he is 55 years old I went with him and his family to Brazil and we stayed in a bad neighborhood so we can learn about Brazilian people life... I learned that I can be poor and enjoy my life and I can be rich and said.
what ever you girls said about Morocco is true. Its my country and I believe its corrupted in low scale. I hate to talk politics but you know what can of corruption we got here in the US ( Washington) high scale corruption. Morocco is a third world country and it will be for a while unless people like me move over there try to change it it will stay that way. Morocco is improving very fast compare to the rest of the African countries, some body has to suffer to make the change, America was not like these when the pilgrims came over in the 16 century or just 40 years ago when the white men and black men couldn't use the same toilet. Morocco as a country never harmed any other country or trough a nuclear bomb on them. I don't like to talk politics please don't get me started.
hassan_debbie: your husband said he couldn't live there any more, ask him where did he grow up and spend his last 20 years also tell him if you get deported from US where would you go and of course no country would take him but Morocco, But know he have options and of course he will chose the easy route( blond wife, diet cook, Double cheese Burger , DVR) star_smile.gif
I'm sorry if I offend anybody again I don't mean to do that? I just like critical thinking and I'm still in the US crying.gif


Adam not nit picking here and I am not easily offended but I am blonde and by no means consider myself to be my husband's easy route
if I am to find proof of that or feel so he can take the quick route.....outta here. I dont get this statement at all.
Just because someone has a "Blonde" wife, they hit the jackpot or what? whistling.gif

Thing is the family I talked about the kids were very closely monitored. The parents always knew what was going on. I saw it. Are you trying to tell me ppl raised in Morocco or other MENA countries all grow up with the highest morals and always do what "Allah" wants? I'm sorry but I must disagree. Now if you want to argue that you prefer them to grow up surrounded by the culture that's a better argument. I have this same argument with my husband.

Please don't assume that Americans only want their kids happy and they don't care about their future or their morals. High morals doesn't necessarily come from being Muslim or any other religion. Some of the least moral ppl I've known have been religious.


a very fair and nicely put statement yes.gif

I like this point. good.gif
It is undeniable the differences in child rearing and children's expectations and behaviors.

But there may be some aspects that would be a little harsh and harder to deal with if we lived there, for me anyway.

I don't mean to butt in because this doesn't have to do with Morocco but it does have to do with Arab/Islamic culture. I know that everyone wants to raise their kids in a MENA country because the theory is that's the only way to ensure a child will be raised "right". I know a very lovely Arab/Muslim family who has raised their children here (4 children) and they turned out wonderfully. The oldest daughter is now almost finished with college after attending an Islamic high school/grade school. She has been married for two years. All of the children are very respectful and none of them have gotten into any trouble re: drugs, alcohol, premarital sex. It can be done here in the states.

Not to knock Moroccans or other MENA folks but I've seen some very unruly, disrespectful children being raised in Egypt. It depends on the environment (parents, home life, friends, school) in which they are raised be it here or in the Mid East/North Africa. I mean look at some of the (sorry) losers that some of the ladies here in MENA have imported. They were raised in MENA and look at how lovely they turned out. Sorry.

so very, very true. good parenting can transcend any and all environments.

Just to add that my husband insists that any child we would have together will be going to Morocco at least for one full year
to live and learn about his country and Islam. I am not sure how it would work or if I would be able to allow my baby to go without me.
That notion is far off for us though blush.gif

this is a valid point and one I agree with. I wish that their was more opportunity for either one of us there but there isnt. Living with his mother is not an option so we would have to be totally self sufficient, which, we can be here, but not there. I would have no qualms to live there but children are here and still need me too much. After some years of prosper here we can invest in a place there maybe and go back but I dont forsee us living there at least for another 8 years, minimal. We will just have to be content visiting.

I feel you are a very sweet woman and I know you have alot on your plate with your 2 little ones.
I am sure hubby is supporting you alot too. Feel free to vent. We care about you and the only thing
I wish that you not be hard on yourself, grieve if and any time you need to and that your Daddy may have peace.

We have a cloudy/dreary day here but thank GOD no rain.
Zee, I know you heard that wicked storm last night but did anyone else get the Thunderstorm?

Last night, my daughter dragged me out to her Family Fitness night at school.
There won't be any ghost hunters tonight because it is also TURN OFF THE T.V. week hence the reason for family night at school.
Anyway once I got past my self consciousness and complaints...it was really fun. I used to be the one in front of everyone motivating them to exercise and promoting the healthy lifestyle.... blush.gif now I am just a blob! I think for sure I am officially sick of myself!

She is the first of my 3 to play a musical instrument and I am so proud of her!
Hubby went and one of her girlfriends' father is also from MAROC yes.gif
Also from Rabat tongue.gif I was so happy and this man wanted so much to meet my hubby once my little girl
told him "my step father is Moroccan" lol
It was a nice meet and greet for them both. Small world.

I dont even have one minute to spare today.
It has already started off on the wrong foot.

I have court today and I have been having so much anxiety over it.
Now the day has come and please MENA friends, I need some prayers and positive vibes.
It isnt anything bad really that I did but something that has been long overdue that has caught up with me.
So just keep me in your thoughts.

I am taking a 1/2 day on this beautiful day to take care of business and you know what?
Even if I finish quickly, I AM NOT COMING BACK!!

I need some time to decompress.

Have a good day friends!

she's probably doing a better job of stimulating the economy than the billions we threw at big business.

i just had my root canal on fri. what fun!



charles...if you don't mind me asking.

Did they do your root canal in 2 parts?

do you have insurance? we don't and the dentist says it will be about 550.00 does that sound right?

I dunno, I mean I know the dentist is expensive. I told hubby it would be cheaper to pull it, cuz he can't stomach paying that much money
when in Morocco he could have it done for a fraction of the cost...well this is not Morocco and part of the reason why your tooth is in such a state is because you didnt get or couldn't afford dental care...so?? You are here now and well he wants to save the tooth..what are our options?

I think none.
What did they do for your canal as well Charles? like the procedure.

Olivia I went through a phase when I was lactose intolerant. It was brutal and lasted about 2 years.
In retrospect I am sure it was due to high stress levels and was IBS. Sounds icky I know but if I didn't have any dairy I was fine.
If I had anything with dairy I would be doubled over in pain and having to make emergency stops to the bathroom.

I swear one day, I just started eating it little by little and was fine again.
I sense you got alot on your plate and you are sensitive like me. Your body is just digesting your stress this way.

I hope you feel better girlfriend.

Amal....I am actually glad I don't have to worry about hubby driving just yet (i.e. accidents, additional chances of moving violations and eventually late nights). He never had a license in Maroc, although he "claims" to be able to drive.

The one time I drove with him after a night of drinking, I knew he was a bad driver. Another time I rented a car, and very hesitantly let him practice, in a huge parking lot, stick shift. You know what he still is thankful I gave him that opportunity/lesson. There was no traffic to compete with, nothing really damaging he could have done to the car but all I remember was I took a nap and he drove around for about an hour replaying the same Moroccan song over and over. I miss those days. sad.gif

Middle East and North Africais good to marry within the first time we meet?
Well if you both feel you have given enough time to know each other and take the next step into marriage, you know better.
I agree that marrying within the first visit of meeting each other would put question into the validity of it.

We were married during my 2nd visit. We did the K3, he received his K3 visa after 10months from filing.
We forfeited the K3 because if married, you need to file for CR1 first. We got out interview for CR1 the same day
he took visa in hand for K3 (i know ohmy.gif ) so we waited another 6 months to go the CR1 route.

I dont think a lawyer will hinder or help you. We had a lawyer and the ONLY thing he was good for was doing the paperwork
and taking our money. With the help of the good people here and following the instructions to the letter, it can be done on your own.

I think go the fiance visa. You would get that in no time I think (K1) and then take the time to get to know each other better.
Plan your wedding here, you'll be here and then you can file for AOS within the alotted time.

GOOD LUCK! good.gif

without having read much here, GO FOR CR1..saves money and extra red tape once SO is here.
We got our K3 after a short AP, wanted that bad, then CR1 interview came the EXACT SAME DAY!
OMG what to do??? take the visa and run OR wait it out (which was an additional 5 1/2 months from interview date and AP) ??
Waited it out with recommendation of lawyer..could have killed him at the time but you know what he came only waiting for his greencard in the mail...once he got it...got right to work....what a relief and a big help for us.

Middle East and North AfricaAlready MONDAY!!
Good Morning Girls

I hope you had your rest this weekend.

It was all day rain on Sunday but Saturday it cleared up early afternoon and I got to
take my daughter and her friend to the Zoo. I hadn't been in like 4 or 5 years!
I felt bad because hubby had to work and I wished he could have gone with.

Melly that is so cool that you posted the pix.
Not cool about the storm. I guess if you have to go out and ride around or whatever you need to
cover your face with a scarf or something?

When in India I got a terrible infection from the dust.
After about 2 months I came down with some horrid rash that covered my entire body
and itched like crazy. It took sometime to FINALLY get to a specialist and figure out what it was
but I was diagnosed with that and had to take a lot of medicine to clear it up.
That was horrible and had to stay out of the sun.
I mean how do you stay out of the sun in India? wacko.gif Well I had to be quarantined.

It is another wash out and icky Monday...blah huh.gif

Aw Annie rose.gif

No words I can offer will express what you really need at this time.

I will just offer my sincerest prayers and ask GOD to give you, your father, and family the strength to endure this difficult time.
