Iranican Live is now also on Terrestrial Radio! Special welcome to our newest listeners from Radio Bamdad 1690AM Northern California! Join our co-hosts tonight @ 7PM PST on Radio Javan in exploring the complicated relationships between Mothers and Ammehs. We all know how the story goes. Your Ammeh jan calls you up for a fun night with chelo kabob and takhte with a few select family members, but asks that you don’t mention anything to your mother about the get-together. What do you do? Why do you always have to pick a side?
Personally, I am always down to have fun with good company, whether it is at my Ameh’s house or at the mall shopping with my new secret friend. What’s the point of encouraging conflict when you can be the peacemaker? This doesn’t mean I’m not loyal, this just means that I’m old enough to know better than to go by hearsay and base my opinions on secondhand experiences. This just means I want to learn for myself why I either shouldn’t trust someone or hold a grudge against them. Tune into IranicanLive tonight to see whether or not our co-hosts agree! Would you go to Ameh jan’s house if your mom wasn’t invited?
Iranian Live Talk Show pocasts every Wed. July 6th @ 8PM PST, on RadioJavan.com every other Wed @ 7PM, and starting this week Fridays at 9AM on Radio Bamdad 1690AM Northern California’s only Persian Radio Station.

My mom and my ammeh are good friends and I haven’t ever experienced the situation you describe.
You’re right Hamed, I have seen cases where the two are really close and have never had problems, or even if they do experience friction, they resolve everything with some rational discussion and it would be seamless to everyone else. That is how it should be, and we were hoping by bringing up such a discussion and talking about it, we could bring awareness to those who experience these issues.
I wish there was some statistics on such problems, but my own personal guess is that over 50% of Iranian families experience this one way or another.
Thanks for listening, keep the comments coming
