to expand on what mw said about chumros. it pains me no end to hear people here speak about them in such a disparaging tone. (yes, they will say it isnt chumros per se but the people who push them on everyone; but i believe that is only a defensive smoke screen for their own subconscious feelings of inadequacy)
a chumra is a gift, a beloved gift from a son to his beloved Tatti. it is the remnant of a sweet lollipop that a 3 year old takes out of his dirty pocket, and though he wants it no end, he gives it to his Zaide to whom he wishes to show that he loves him
