No matter how hard they try to deny, Lebanese mothers always have a favorite child. <\/p>\n

Here are seven hints that you\u2019re not it (looking at you, middle children).<\/p>\n

1. She doesn\u2019t add an extra scoop of food after you tell her to stop <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even though you lowkey want more. But you want her to insist?<\/p>\n

2. She will always wake you up earlier than you asked.<\/b><\/p>\n

Waking up at 5:00 am to be told that it\u2019s 7:00 am is not cool, and watching your siblings sleep peacefully because haram ma 2ele aleb faye2on<\/i> is just hurtful. <\/p>\n

3. She doesn’t mind your decision of not wanting to get married or have kids. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to deal with the yelling, crying, and threats of being disowned. No accusations of ripping your mother\u2019s heart out. No “bede shouf wledkon abel ma mout”<\/i> pleas. <\/p>\n

4. You’re always the victim of the \u201cMa 7ada bise3idne bhal bet\u201d<\/i> outbursts, even if you just helped her five minutes ago.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. She doesn\u2019t ask you to take a jacket with you on your way out. <\/b><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, you\u2019re going to have to rely on the weather app only\u2026or simply by looking outside. <\/p>\n

6. She does not panic if you do not pick up your phone after one call.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

None of that Taken<\/i> drama, no police reports about a missing child, no yelling through the phone when you call back 10 minutes later. It’s all good. <\/p>\n

7. She never seems to remember that you\u2019ve hated this particular meal your whole life. <\/b><\/p>\n
