Many women (not just Pakistani, but most Pakistani women I’ve met do have this) have a martyr complex. The only way they know to earn praise is through sacrifice. That is why they expect the next generation to make sacrifices for their happiness and end up getting ludicrously involved in bahu-son drama – they never sought their own happiness.

I’m not challenging your post, what you’re saying is very true, a woman is always expected to compromise and make sacrifices.

But I fail to see the sacrifice in being a stay at home mum especially if you had no career aspirations to begin with. Even if you did sacrifice your youth for your family, is this a bad thing? If a mother had only one bite of roti, would she feed it to herself or to her child? Is this a bad sacrifice that her family’s needs come before everything to her?

And I’m all for everyone fending for themselves especially when both partners are working and when the kids are old enough to make their own beds n stuff. But if the woman of the house finds joy in doing the chores and taking care of everyone, I don’t see the issue there.
