Hi. what does these mean:
"hay que estar a las duras y a las maduras"
"hay que estar a las duras y a las maduras"
Hay que estar a las duras y a las maduras
- Thread starter SHARDANMAN
- Start date
to be ready for the tuff (duras) and the good (maduras) times.
I think that in English the one with duras y maduras is said:
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
CONTEXTO
Mi abuela me hace regalos buenisimos para mi cumple, lo cual me encanta. AHora bien cuando me necesita, me abruma, no me apetece perder el tiempo con ella.
- oye majo, hay que estar a las duras y a las maduras .

For better or for worse.
Otro modismo con la misma idea es:
Through thick and thin /To stick through thick and thin.
Tom has been such a good friend, he's been there through thick and thin. I appreciate his friendship.

En wikiproverbs pone "hay que estar a las duras y a las maduras" como "no joy without annoy",Never pleasure without repentance.
We are discussing it, and we thing that would be more "no todo el monte es orégano", but oh well. I'd stick with Kibramoa's option, is the one that sounds more familiar to me.

You' re right, Kibramoa's is the closest. FOr the better or worse means para lo bueno y para lo malo. Same idea, different strenght.
Estar a las duras y a las maduras
To be there whenever needed, in good times and bad
E.g. Los buenos amigos estan contigo en las duras y las maduras = Good friends always stand by your side, even when times are tough.

Como quien dice "en las buenas y en las malas", ¿cierto?
Ah!..."No es para tanto", como quien dice "no exageres, ni fué nada"
