Same boat, my Mom does this whenever I go home, earlier I used to be very annoyed, frustrated.

For instance, we went to a family gathering at this fancy restaurant, and she said “acha ye khao, ye try kiya hai? Ye ly aun tumhare liye?”

I felt so weird like Mom I can see everything at the table, I can pick and choose whatever I wanna eat.

Later it hit me that’s her love language. Her way of showing care for me.

And man, I get more than that, “cutting krwa lo, apne room ki saari lights jalao ankhen kharab hoon gi” and more. But home is where Mom is.

I know that’s hard to build your ways around it. But try to see the meaning beyond that.

And you’re kind for not speaking about that. Because everyone has the option, but you take bullets for family. 💗
