Hello from Dubai

[Nirvana]

Hello all, I am Deepali, a SAHM to a two-year-old girl. I live in Dubai now but am basically from India. I got to know Hilary through another site and she has been gracious enough to invite me to be a part of this group.

I am of the kind who asks lots of questions to the doctors when it comes to procedures, surgery etc but I must have lost my mind a wee bit when I did not question vaccines even once. Poor DD received most of the vaccines and I still carry the guilt and regret with me. Thankfully I came to my senses before she was due for the MMR and the DTaP booster. I stopped vaccinating her ever since and stood firm on my ground.

The more I read the more it sickens me when it comes to vaccines. I am happy to be at a place where I won't be judged or ridiculed for asking questions.

We co-sleep, breastfeed and are vegetarians. I am trying my green bit by reducing the trash we produce and planning to make my own cleaner etc.

Thanks

Deepali

Hi Deepali, :hug: ... I'm sure that someone here, sometime, will try to judge you. But that's good, because that's the way we learn skills to stand up for ourselves.

Welcome Deepali :)

Hi Deepali.

I know what it is like to have regrets regarding medical treatments... However I believe that what really matters is continuing to inform ourselves on a daily basis to make more informed choices in the present and future.

Try not to be hard on yourself. :) You sound like an amazing mum!

Welcome Deepali.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

I make soap and apparently once you make soap its very easy to make all sorts of cleaners. I make soap because I want to make bubble bath that is 100% chemical free....... maybe we can put our heads together, come up with a brilliant recipe and take over the world, lol.

The more I read the more it sickens me when it comes to vaccines.

Oh yeah I hear you on that front. I look forward to seeing your contribution to this community : ) Welcome!

Thank you everyone for the welcome! Yay finally found a place where can I talk about making household cleaners and not get stared at! :giggle: The husband thinks I have lost it....wait till he hears about my plans to buy a land someplace and start my own farm.

Sounds like you'll fit right in here ;)

Hi Deepali,
I've done a fair number of things I regret--but you've just got to keep backing into the future--cause you can't turn back and fix your mistakes--

Welcome!
