yup! we did the greet abbu at the door also!
n goodbyes at the door every single morning … lol … maybe we are just a cheesy mushy family lol
my mom always always always walked abbu to the door and stood there till his car went out of view … funnily enough i do the same (on days that im home in the morning) with my husband … didnt really realize it till this thread.
oh n it is considered rude in my family to go hang out in your room when parents are up and sitting in the family/common area. only exception … exam studying. we were expected to and did our usual daily studying, reading books, writing papers all in one room … there was no off by yourself till we were halfway done with university and really studying hard for med school admissions testing etc…
on my moms side of the family … everyone gets “aap” and they and she says “hum” when referring to self. my dad used to and still teases her about the hum bit … he would say .. kia aap shahhanna khaandan ki hein … kahan hai sultanat aapki!

aww how cute is that!

We don’t let dad clean the toilet or mop the floor. (My mom doesn’t do it either but that’s more due to back pain).

Also, when you are in a heated argument with a parent or another elder, you don’t stare them back. And you shouldn’t raise your voice. There is a way to get your point across but it’s not through battameezi.
