When your lebanese parents call you "mama" or "baba", even tho THEY are the parents..... i actually do this with my son 🙈"mama ta3al la hon"

In Austria 🇦🇹 it was the belt, a broom, a wooden stick or the fist. Even teachers were allowed to do that. Thankfully not in my generation anymore, but 1 or 2 generations back then. Today physical punishing a kid is illegal in austria & in many other european countrys too. If teachers or parents beat a child, they would instantly loose their job and if someone call the child- & youthauthority, the family gets from then on regular visits from familyworker, could send mandatory to antiviolence-therapy, or in the worst case if nothing else helped: take the child/juvenile out of the family. That happened to a friend of mine. She feels better now and the authority finance her even therapy for working through traumatas (In her case violence was not the only thing her parents did to her...), and so on. In austria children have rights and are highly protected by law. I'm glad about that. 👍

[@Jess-ne6fw]

You forgot the part when you do something wrong and your dad goes "yl3an abouk" and you mom tells you "yl3an hal marba" 😂

[@Hm-cm-24]

what does it mean buddy?

[@Jess-ne6fw]

indu hari when lebanese parents get mad at their kids they will curse... themselves 😂 "Yl3an abouk" as in the father is telling his own children "curse your father" and the mother would tell her children " yl3an hal marba" as in curse the ones that raised you like this ( herself and husband )

[@tonyrahme96]

[@farisfaris1900]

because Latin are heavily influenced by Spain and every nice and sophisticated in Spanish culture was the influence of our Arabian culture

[@chocolateicecream3430]

From 0:30 to 0:40 that’s Russian mothers right there. When I’m done eating and she asks do you want more and I say no. Then she’s like “ whaaaat you didn’t like it?!” After that, you can choose your own path. 1: to say no and then get slapped or 2: say yes but I’m full and still get more food put on your plate. #GrowingupRussian. All jokes aside, keep up the good work Mark!

[@Baldovixxx]

You know what weapons russian moms use to raise their children?? S-400 jk😂

[@84Terminator]

Russians are less “ Westernized “ and somehow have Eastern flavor. That’s why many things are common with Middle East.

[@karimsleiman6972]

The ending tho😂😂

[@IUSB99]

I lived in Greece when I was a teenager and this brings back so many memories of how people communicated versus my protected sheltered white Anglo-Saxon Protestant upbringing otherwise. Especially when Greeks would argue in English with a thick Greek accent almost indistinguishable from some of your videos. Also, the hand gestures and general attitude work very well when arguing or negotiating with Anglo ppl. Nothing throws them off-balance quicker than an unexpected flick of the wrist or "look".

[@rubis_abn]

here's the thing the Lebanese parents are all of these at once

[@MsKK909]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m enjoying your channel so much! I grew up in a small Southern town that, believe it or not, had a big Lebanese Christian community .....and the kids all spoke with very strong Southern drawls...i think you’d find it amusing. I learned to love Middle Eastern food when I was playing with them when we were little kids. We’d run in for a snack and when at their houses, my favorite was cold kibbeh from the fridge with mustard on it! LOL!! Their church would have a big fund raiser every year. They’d hire some great, well known band and sell tickets and food... we called it, “The Kibbeh Stomp” and people would come from miles around to attend because the bands were so good. They had to keep getting their bigger and bigger venues because the yearly “Stomp” would get more and more famous and popular. You were totally uncool and a total loser if you missed the kibbeh stomp! My playmates grandmothers spoke mostly Arabic and would force feed me that delicious food.....l loved it!

[@joanfreyre]

Hilariously familiar. I have heard all of this in my friends' houses, but mysteriously, my Syrian American mother did her best to keep us American, so I had to learn it in other people's homes, and I am thankful. It is part of our souls.

I remember back when I was in elementary school, kids would explain how their parents used to beat them up, some would show me their new scars while the talk about how the last beating went down. They all used to share their stories. They used to make fun of me because my parents never beat me up at all... I'm so glad my parents weren't that type to be honest 😅

Btw you forgot the empty ice tray that we leave in or out of the freezer and our Lebanese parents get very mad when we don't fill it up and put back in freezer. Also, when we leave the fridge open for too long our Lebanese parents get angry too.

I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada...One of my best friends from school..her parents who are originally from Punjab, India were like this (what's shown in the video) when they were still new to Canada....but as time went on and when they had been living in Canada for many many years, they EVOLVED and ADAPTED to the ways, SOCIAL NORMS and culture of Canada....They had a chance to sit with, mingle, have a dialogue with WHITE people, Polish people and other communities at their workplaces and their thinking CHANGED after that!!..It also helped that her parents were HIGHLY EDUCATED people from Punjab, India so in that case, it was that much easier for them to adapt because they had the intelligence, the understanding, the critical thinking skills etc.
