Pashtun mums, loud and loving in equal measure, are a collective force of mother nature. From guilt-tripping to good advice, delivered with a dollop of tadka, they always seem to have a trick up their sleeves to whip their kids into shape.
Their undying, overflowing love for their children and their sharp tongue makes for some hilarious dialogues that we can relate to.
Here are some things you’ve probably heard a Pashtun mum say:
Wai gharka/duba shuma!
Translation: Alas! I’m doomed!

Can’t have long naps when mom’s home.
And never say NO, I repeat never say no to her, whenever she asks you to run for errands.
Be it any situation that you are in, every Pashtun mum makes sure to make you realize “WHO IS THE BOSS” of the house.
