Lebanese moms are unique. On this Mother’s Day, we pay tribute to the gem of the family with 7 universal facts about every Lebanese mom.
1. Your mom will never let you go hungry
One of her most important goals in life is to make sure you never starve. Your mom makes enough food for the whole family and more — just in case a few neighbors stop by.

No matter what you do in life, in your mom’s eyes, you’re a star.
3. She yells over international phone calls
Your mom gets fired up when making a long distance call. She hasn’t realized phone connections have made significant improvements over the past decade.
4. She has a strange obsession with television soap operas
Do not disturb your Lebanese mom when the soap opera begins.
5. Turkish coffee keeps her going
Nothing can come between your mom and her coffee.
6. You are constantly compared to other successful people
Fady is married, has two kids, and a good-paying job — what are you waiting for?
7. She would do anything for you
Your mom loves you so much that she’s willing to literally “bury” (to2borni) herself for you.
