MALAYSIA - With everyone abiding to COVID regulations set by the government by staying home, it has also allowed them (including us) to spend more time with our family.
However, staying in a confined place for an extended period can sometimes push one's mental health to the brink.

According to ,UNICEF, it may also lead to depression, fear, and trigger physical ailments like chest congestion and insomnia, resulting in a tense environment at your home.
Hence, we asked a few Malaysians to chip in some ideas on how to lighten up the mood (while making your Momma happy), and here's what they said!
1. Listen to everything she says, even if it's unverified news from WhatsApp groups
Most of the times, your mum is trying to find a topic to talk to you about.
Also, don't argue. Instead, learn to agree to disagree and hear your mum out. Giving a listening ear is a helpful way in reducing the stress of living with family members for long periods.
2. Drink (hot) water in front of her

Growing up, guzzling down more water was the cure-all for 'yeet hay', better known as heatiness. It's a common phrase that has accompanied us throughout our childhood. And with the ongoing pandemic, who knows?
Maybe drinking more hot water in front of your mum may be the key to making her happy all day, err day!
3. Help her out with something she's not that good at (e.g. technology)

We all understand how frustrating it is to have your mum bugging you with the same questions over something you taught her ten seconds ago. But she might thank you by making a delicious meal!
4. Tell her the dishes she cooks is better than the ones outside
Complimenting your mum's cooking skills can motivate her to cook more a wider variety of mouthwatering cuisines for you.
She happy, you confirm happy lah!
5. Wash her car
Who doesn't love a clean car? Don't forget to vacuum the inside of the vehicle and clean the windows to make it glisten.
Be sure to use cleaning products that are less sensitive to the skin!
6. SHOP SHOP SHOP! Buy quality kitchen care products online!
