Betas are loved by every household in Pakistan, after all betay ne naam chalana hai khandaan ka. Maa ke ankhon ka taara aur Abbu ke khwabon ki taabeer hota hai beta. Life as an only son may sound luxurious (and it is) but it has its shares of ups and downs too.

If you’re an only son, you’ll definitely relate to this:

You hear a lot of ‘Aap sirf aik betay ho?‘
‘Yes I am THE ONE’.

Your sister(s) and you will have a tough relationship
They’re just jealous of your awesomeness but they’ll never admit it.

You are the ‘King’, always

Phuphos are always busy finding you a rishta
‘Woh meri neighbor ki bahu ki aik aur behan hai, tumhare liye kaafi achi hai’.

Source: Tumblr
You are reminded that you must carry the family line forward
Too much pressure, bro abu.

Sisters are forced to be your slaves
“Beta jao aur Bhai ke liye chai banao” *sister cries*

Yes its sexist, but you get better gifts than your sisters
Sister: ‘Aunty ne mujhe kurti di hai‘

You: ‘Bas, she gave me 3 shirts, Sunglasses aur chocolates bhi‘

Your uncles say things like, ‘business tou beta hi chalaye ga’
*Awkward smile but internally you’re dying*

Your friends are your brothers.
You didn’t have real brothers to share stuff with so your friends become the brothers you choose for yourself.

Random khalas want to get their daughters married to you.
‘No Khala, Maryam is just not my type. Please gilla na karay’.

All life decisions boil down to ‘scope hai iss field main? I don’t think so beta‘.
No beta, you must forgo your dreams. Parampara beta parampara *cue sad Bollywood song*.

All sisters/ cousins are always telling how cute you are.
Uhh, please stop.

Source: Tumblr
The entire family has a heart attack every time you tease them by telling them you will never marry
“You don’t want to get married? Pagal ho kiya?”

You become ammi‘s servant when you get a driver’s license
If she ever gets whiff that you’re free, you’ll receive a long list of sabziyan to buy which she’ll need pronto.

Also you become your sister’s chauffeur, because bhaialways needs to accompany them
‘Jao apni behan ko ja kar chor ao, shabaash jaldi!’ *rolls eyes*

You are your mama’s boy, always and forever.
Amma Jee will always love you, more than she loves your sisters (shh, they don’t know).

Source: Deenga
Your mom will test all her cooking experiments on because jawaan larkay tou bohut khatay hain.
(this part is the one i enjoy the most )

Source: Deenga
However ammi jee will always make your favorite food, over everyone else’s wishes.

Source: Deenga
People expect you to be ill mannered and pampered.

Source: Tumblr

You were definitely ‘girl-ed’ up by your sisters.
Dressed up in their old frocks and put makeup on as a kid. What awful times.

Source: Tumblr
And of course, your sister(s) will resent you because you are allowed to come home later than them.
Bechari behans have to be home at 10, but you can waltz in a 1 am and no one will say anything.

Enjoy it only betay while it lasts, who knows when your parents surprise you with a baby brother?
