Schedules are updated every Thursday.
Living under your Lebanese parents’ roof comes with strict rules and limits that you have to abide by. Here are some of them:
1. Locking your bedroom door for no reason
Privacy? Don’t know her.
2. Leaving the house unannounced
You think you can go out without letting your parents know where you’re going or with whom? Lol, nice try.
3. Coming back home unannounced
– Leh ma eltelle eno jeye 3al bet?
– Bayte mama…
4. Lowering the TV volume when your parents are watching the news
5. Eating out when there’s food at home
La meen hal akel n3amal? Mish haram?

– Mama
– Rou2 shway bado y2ella eno bihebba
7. Asking for food when there’s labne in the fridge
8. Sleeping in on Sundays
Unless you like waking up to hoover sounds and very loud phone calls.
9. Having a political or social debate with your parents
Nothing is more stubborn than Lebanese parents’ beliefs.
10. Taking too long in the shower
