To ensure you&#8217;re going to be kicked out of the house, follow the following steps.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>1. Tell her what you genuinely want for lunch<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  If she asks you what do you want for lunch, do not, I repeat, DO NOT tell her what you want, because it will turn into a rant of how you do nothing around the house and now you expect her to pull off a 3 course meal, when all you asked for was <i>labneh<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>2. Politely disagree with her opinion<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/68.media.tumblr.com\/f9eb1e6b9508e4ad659335a4d5a07511\/tumblr_odh4vosGx01u1ljrzo1_540.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  If she&#8217;s commenting on something in the news and you calmly express your counter opinion, you are inherently disrespecting her 40 years of experience &#8211; because she started engaging in numerous intellectual, cultural, and political discourses since the moment she was born.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>3. Fail to reply to her WhatsApp messages within a 2 second time range<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  She will begin sending voice notes, texts, and the next thing you&#8217;ll know she&#8217;s at your office door berating you for not replying to your own mother.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>4. Say you had dinner at your friend&#8217;s house last evening<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;<i>Mish 3ajbik tabkhe? Eh shoufo shu ha teklo hal jom3a, ana mish de3se el matbakh ba2a<\/i>&#8221; But mom, they invited me what can I do?<\/p>\n<p>  <b>5.

Manzar? Ejer kerse?<\/i>&#8220;. She&#8217;s always the boss, and you should know that. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>7. Sleep more than 5 hours<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  The trick is to wake up just before she does, then take a nap later on, otherwise you&#8217;re a lazy slob and you&#8217;re wasting your youth. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>8. Say no to her arranging a blind date with one of her friends&#8217; son\/daughter<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  She will take this as a personal insult to her opinion, people evaluation skills, and whole life. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>9.

Say you want to use the expensive china and silverware because your friends are coming over for dinner<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  You done did it with this one, you will be thrown out of the house in a matter of hours.
