@reveddie I want her to know how hard it is for a kid her age to have to fast. I usually dont have to punish her but when I have to speak to her about something like.... Cleaning her room or folding her clothes, she does listen.

@canaan Jajajaja I knew I would get this comment.

@xamell I am taking every comment as helpful. I dont disagree with most of what you've mentioned. Did I make a mistake? Possibly and that's why I posted. I was ready to get my ass torn apart. Do I think she will resent me? I honestly don't think so, because like I mentioned in another response...

@xamell She is not going through any pain what so ever, thank you for pointing this out, it is an honest mistake to assume this.

@xianghua I think you misunderstand my intentions and the way I am with my daughter on a daily basis. Which is understandable by this means (we are strangers on the internet.) I dont think it is extreme to not have 3 meals. I made her fast in reflection 1 day for 8 hours. I do thank you for...

@xianghua Not surprised at all, she can live with herself and her conscious if she decided not to share her stories with me, especially if she's not sharing because she KNOWS she was wrong. I have no guilt for making her feel bad for being a jerk.

@xianghua No idea

@brittney6286 A lot of people would disagree....

@xamell Thank you for taking the time to respond so thoroughly. I dont think I ever mentioned that we were Christians, that is because we are not. I also didnt mention that she has various muslim friends, and goes over their homes quite alot, which is why this sign of disrespect caught me so off...

@tweterbird I absolutely never even made a comment about knowing anything about the religion, I dont know what you are basing this "before you go being an expert" comment on. What I do know is that my daughter mentioned that they fast until 8pm, per my daughter's friend, you know, who we are...

@katrina2017 Nope not trying to be woke, just trying to teach my kid not to be an absolute jerk.

@katrina2017 I am by no means punishing her, I want her to put her self in the position of the little girl, even if it is just for several hours.

@katrina2017 I want to say it did. She remained extremely positive throughout the day. She talked alot about feeling bad for her friend and not defending her because she decided to laugh with the other girl, which made us talk about other factors. So there was definitely a lot of opening up from...

@clindevibe1987 🤞🤞

@katrina2017 I'm not taking this as disrespectful at all. Thank you very much for your input. I really didnt plan on doing this, it seemed like the right choice at the time, now I dont want to go back on my word.

@h31s Thank you. We live in an extremely multicultural town, and we are latino so this is why it was so hard for me to hear.

@untilnow Thank you so much!! This was extremely insightful and helpful especially from your point of view. Im sorry for what your going through. I understand that the whole thing is a little brainwashy, be that as it may, I still want her to put her self in little girls place and think twice...

@changemejesus Yes! I fasted with her today! I think people are thinking Im punishing her and taking this in a negative way but I honestly just want to use this as a learning experience.

@john3344k Yes I did! She goes to a school where there are so many different cultures from all over the world, and we are extremely open minded about this at home. I actually have a muslim friend coming over tonight to help me out, as I know a little but not enough as my friend does.

@koyanna I agree with you. Sometimes when youre a parent you are blind to your child's weaknesses. For example, I was 100% sure my daughter would never laugh at someone (to make them feel bad.) Obviously I was wrong, so it definitely was something we talked about and I will continue to watch as...
