Living under your Arab parents’ roof comes with strict rules and limits that you have to abide by. Here are some of them:<\/p>

1. Locking your bedroom door for no reason is almost ILLEGAL<\/p>

\"\"\/<\/figure>

<\/p>

2. Leaving the house unannounced is unacceptable, and will result in injuries<\/p>

<\/p>

3. Coming back home unannounced? Also unacceptable<\/p>

<\/p>

Arab parents seem to think you must announce your departure and arrival.
<\/p>

<\/p>

4. Speaking to your dad while the news is on is unheard of<\/p>

\"\"\/<\/figure>

5. Sometimes you have to eat a double lunch so your mom doesn\u2019t get upset about you eating out.<\/p>

<\/p>

6. Talking to your parents when they’re watching their mousalsal is a sure-fire way to get yelled at<\/p>

<\/p>

7. There is a high chance that you will wake up to the sound of a vacuum EARLY on weekends. <\/p>

<\/p>

\"\"\/<\/figure>

8. Having a political or social debate with your parents = fastest way to get called a hmar<\/em><\/p>

9. If you\u2019re planning on inviting a friend to your house, you better have told your parents their full biography<\/p>

10. Eating snacks and meals that are for guests is strictly FORBIDDEN<\/p>

11. If you\u2019re planning on taking long in the shower, you should also plan to be interrogated <\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
