5 Things That Your Mom does a little Different Than a Greek Mom...

1-A Regular Mom won’t make you wear a jacket if you tell her you’re too hot with it on.

A Greek Mom will make you wear a jacket, even if you’re sweating in it, just because she is cold!

2-A Regular Mom will advise you on how to make good choices when planning for your future.

A Greek Mom will have your entire future planned for you - while still in utero- by the time you’ve graduated high school. From what college you will attend, to what your major will be, to where you will live, to who you will marry and how many kids you will have. All of which, you ought to do before you become an old lady and turn 30.

3-A Regular Mom will tell you to get home safe after visiting her.

A Greek Mom will lecture you for an hour on how to be safe while getting home, and to make sure you call her the second you arrive back home so, she can be assured you got home safe. She will then call you several times while on your way home to ask if you have already gotten home safe.

3- A Regular Mom will allow you to have a sleep over at your friends’ houses on the weekends when growing up.

A Greek Mom would never allow you to spend the night away from your home at a stranger’s house especially because she doesn’t know the parents and what kind of home they keep. Unless, of course, it is at another Greek family’s house, because they know what kind of home you will be staying at, and that you will be provided with the proper amount of food and care.

4-When a Regular Mom takes your family to Church, she doesn’t expect your family to be out of the house for more than a couple of hours, tops.

When a Greek Mom that takes the family to Church, she gets everyone ready for an all day affair, because you will most likely end up going to someone’s house afterwards and staying for dinner.

5- A Regular Mom will walk guests to the door, say goodbye, open the door, walk the guests out, give a wave and another goodbye, then go back inside and close the door.

A Greek Mom will walk guests to their cars, kiss them on both cheeks at least three times each in between hugs, then stand at the foot of the driveway, see them taking off, and wait until she can’t see the car anymore before she goes back inside the house.
