UAE breastfeeding Law

A new law passed in the UAE now requires women to breastfeed their kids for at least 2 years. The  law  also states that men can sue their wives if they refuse. If a woman for medical reasons is unable to breastfeed, then a wet nurse would be provided.  I can't even begin to start with this one. Its hard enough to breastfeed then to make it mandatory, even punishable if a woman decides not to. Na wa oh. Then other questions arise like; who is this wet nurse, do i have a choice or must I take the one offered, who pays this nurse, does she express and give the baby or is she required to pop her boob into my child's mouth, will she be required to live in my house for this 2 year period and who decides a woman is medically unable to breastfeed.... I'd like to know what you  people think.Personally if I lived in the UAE, I think I might just run. Please feel free to drop your comments below...... P.S While we are on the topic of breastfeeding, please what's...

Facebook Etiquette

Was reading an article by a CNN columnist Douglas Rushkoof- why I quit facebook. He had some interesting points. But that isn’t the purpose of my article. It got me thinking about the do’s and don’ts of facebook.      So, what is considered proper behaviour on facebook?

I Do Not Want To Be A Man.

I recently came across this article - Why We Need To Stop Telling Women They Are Equal To Men by Amee Misra. You know me naa, I jumped right in. I totally get her and I understand where she is coming from.I agree women should be told about realities. Motherhood is not easy. There are expectations but women or a woman should be given liberty to decide if she wants to  adjust to these expectations or wants to create her own rules. I spent a few days reading and re reading the article and I feel there is a flaw with her major premise which is there is a strong biological impulse drawing a mother to a child. She is basing this on her own reality. Truth be told, I did not have a strong biological or otherwise impulse towards my child. Contrary to ALL the stories people told me, I wasn't the see-your -baby = unending joy kind of mother.  It took me awhile to bond with my child. It doesn't mean I loved him less just that  I wasn't a...
