We men are very different creatures (at least we like to believe that); we like to be all tough and rough for the world and take things with ease. We can take care of ourselves just fine until the scariest of news is broken to us: Mom is going out for a vacation! Now, we love our moms, heck, we love yours too! For different reasons, of course (No pun intended). And yes, we can take care of ourselves but that’s so hard without our mom being around. This might not make sense to women but, men know, we can’t function without out mommies. For single men, it’s like a task to figure out almost anything at home without the great matriarch being around. So, here’s how to survive when your mom’s out for a vacation!
#1 Chapter 1: The Acceptance
You’re happy that she’s taking a break from all the hard work she’s been doing non-stop. More than anyone, she deserves vacation time in the house, true story. But to actually accept the fact that she just left for a vacation is harder than you think. It takes us a while to get over it and some men actually shed tears. Yep, some of us are emotional.

#2 Life is in ruins
You know, shit is going down from both the sides. Where she’d be chillin’ like no one’s business, you’ll be here trying to keep your life from falling apart. The moment she leaves home, the panic strikes because, “How the f*ck am I going to get up for college/work tomorrow?” and, “What do I order for dinner tonight?” There are many more questions lined up like these but this conversation with yourself always ends with a sigh.

#3 It’s not a kitchen, It’s a science lab
Pretty sure, many guys out there are like, “I feel you, bro”, because that is true. When your mom’s out for a vacation, things suddenly start to make no sense. The only thing that brings you hope and light (quite literally) is the fridge. Still acting like a smart ass you think you are, you choose to experiment with food. And food here strictly refers to the 2 minute noodles and nothing more. And the experiment? Well, we just add a couple of masalas without even measuring and voila something very f*cked up is ready for us to eat. And the daring part here is to take the first bite. If it tastes fine we boast about it. Otherwise? Act like nothing like that ever happened!

#4 It’s been ages that you’ve seen your mom
We, men can be a little weird too in times like these. Mom’s been on vacation for just three days but in your head you have lost count. Because nobody’s there to cook your favourite dishes, and you don’t gel with anyone the way you do with her. God knows how but only she can find you the right pair of socks. That’s just few of her talents, if you ask us. But you need socks, and the correct pair with the right colour and size and you have to find it by yourself. 15 minutes down, you finally manage to find a pair that is slightly similar. You can call it a small victory. You deserve it.

#5 What if the trip is extended for a day or two!?
It’s the last day you’ve to do all the household work because guess who’s coming back the next day!? So, out of excitement you call her and she tells you that she might extend her trip for a day or two. And in your head, you know, you weren’t prepared for this! But you can’t say no to her, so you just go with “hmm, haan, okay.” while you pray to the lord above that she comes back a.s.a.p.! To get away from this nightmare… maybe, just maybe, you can drink the night away. Just a suggestion.

You can do all of that or just call your mom and ask whatever you need help for. It IS that easy.
Cheers!
