Ayman is a writer and podcast host at Slate, where he reports on politics, religion, and parenting.
He also came out with a memoir recently called Becoming Baba, which is about how he navigates identity and fatherhood as a Muslim American.
Ayman and his wife have two small kids, and recently they've decided that it's really important that they send them to Islamic school, even though it's going to cost them a lot more than they'd like.
Eamon agreed to sit down with me and walk through his family budget, line item by line item, and talk openly about what it costs emotionally and financially to hold on to a sense of belonging right now.
Eamon, welcome to the show.
I'm excited to talk with you, especially because we come from similar backgrounds.
You've wrestled with questions that I'm sure I will someday too.
So before we... Inshallah.
We'll see if we keep that in.
So before we get into specific numbers, I'm curious, what is driving your decision to send your kids to Islamic school?
And what kind of financial conversations has that led to?
Hmm.
That's such a relatable feeling.
I mean, being from the perspective of the kid, I don't know if you have similar experiences where like growing up, I'd be, I talk with like my relatives abroad and like try to string together words and stumble through it.
So that was a moment when you really thought like, okay, I need to get serious about sending them to Islamic school.
Like at that point, was it a thing that you'd been weighing?
And then it really has flipped over to, yes, I'm actually going to do it.
Oh, that's amazing.
I mean, it's really hard.
You really have to commit to it.
