Our housekeeper of 16 years is going back home after 10 years of being away.

I would like to gift her some high cost items to take on her carry on luggage but I heard from some people that the airport officers treat domestic workers poorly when they come back from a long leave and that they may cause trouble for her if they see her with the items

Can anyone here confirm or deny? I do not want her to get in trouble 🙏🏻

Hi all, long-time lurker, first-time poster here. English is not my first language, so please bear with me.

For context, one of my friends, let’s call her Liya, came back from our local amusement park a few weeks ago and was talking about how fun and nostalgic it was and that we should all go together sometime.

We’ve all been to this amusement park as children, and thought it would be fun to go as a group. Since my birthday was coming up in two weeks, we decided to go then because it was supposedly a day everyone was free.

Our group consists of four unmarried women (myself included) and three married women, each with one child (including Liya). We’re all in our mid-20s.

A week before my birthday, one of the moms said she wouldn’t be able to make it because she had let go of her babysitter and had nobody to watch her one year old. Her husband was scheduled to be away on a work trip.

Yesterday, Liya said she wouldn’t be able to come either. She and her husband decided to try for baby number two, and had sex the night before so she was worried she might be pregnant and that going on amusement park rides is dangerous.

The rest of the group was annoyed because she was the one who suggested the amusement park in the first place, and now she was cancelling less than 24 hours before the outing. We would have changed the plan at that point, but one of my friends had already purchased a ticket and since there were still five of us going, we decided to go anyways.

This morning, the third mom said she couldn’t make it because her six month old was teething and hadn’t slept all night.

At that point, the rest of us agreed that half the fun of an amusement park is going as a big group. The friend who had purchased the ticket said she was okay with losing the money and rescheduling for another day.

I was frustrated that my birthday plans had completely fallen apart on the same day and I joked in the group chat that “we need to find some non-mom friends”. I know anyone could cancel for any reason i just found it funny that all 3 who cancelled were moms

The other two moms laughed about it and apologized. I said it was okay and that I understood kids can be unpredictable.

Liya, however, didn’t find it funny. She got upset and said I didn’t understand that if she were pregnant, going on the rides could be dangerous. I ended up apologizing to her.

AITA for making the joke?

حد يعرف وين بقدر احصل عباة نفس هاي؟ 👇🏻

I know it’s not hiking season but I always end up overthinking on where to go when winter comes and end up not going anywhere by the time it ends

Congratulations to all!!

I know these places are usually off a bit but I’m curious to know how off

I’ve been getting their lunches and I’m enjoying them, however, I feel like the protein count doesn’t reflect the meal I’m eating. I could be wrong since I don’t actually know how it’s prepped but I feel like a 52g pro advertised meal is closer to 30g
