Let's start with chores. Cleaning isn't something that's taken lightly by Hispanic moms.
2.
Oh, you're bored? Lol, you know better than to say that in front of your mom.
3.
There's a hurricane coming? Then you better believe your mom is going to clean and make sure everything is look nice, "porque uno nunca sabe."
4.
If you have your own place and your mom is visiting, you have to make sure it's perfect.
5.
When is comes to cooking, our moms know how to have fun in the kitchen.
6.
They're loyal to their favorite Tupperwares, so you better not lose them or you'll be shunned.
7.
They also love to get creative when it comes to storage.
8.
If you ever ask to eat out, the answer is usually "no, there's food at home."
9.
And fast food isn't really considered food, so McDonald's always seems so unattainable.
10.
Anything that can be used to store food, will be used to store food.
11.
Hispanic moms are resourceful AF.
12.
Just when you think you're out of soap, mom comes through with a little water and fixes it.
13.
They're very into recycling. Supermarket bags? Those make great trash bags.
14.
Ketchup and sugar packs at restaurants? They always go home with them by the handful.
15.
When it comes to discipline, you know you're always supposed to do what you're told. No. Questions. Asked.
16.
If you ever acted out in public as a kid, you knew what would be waiting for you when you got home.
17.
You knew you could run...
18.
...But you couldn't hide.
19.
You know better than to roll your eyes in front of your mother.
20.
Even as an adult, you have to ask for permission to do certain things.
21.
No matter how old you are, their approval matters.
22.
You can't just tell your mom you're going out. You have to earn it.
23.
Our moms practice a tough love. For example, if you fall or get hurt, it's probably your fault.
24.
They always call you names, but like, in a loving way.
25.
Or they get creative and make up an affectionate nicknames.
26.
You know your mom believes on some weird ass conspiracy theories she saw on Primer Impacto.
27.
And whether you gave them a reason or not, they always think you're doing something shady.
28.
If you ever hurt her feelings, you know she's going to guilt trip you forever.
29.
If that doesn't work, she'll move on to the "you don't pay for shit" argument.
30.
When they hit you with the "tu sabrás" line, you know you've started a cold war.
31.
They can be overprotective and clingy at times, but only because they love you so much.
32.
Hispanic moms can be savages, but they love you so much, it evens out.
33.
And you know if she's your Facebook friend, you'll always have a comment in all caps and "like" coming in hot because she's your #1 fan.
