Life in pakistan is veryyy hard to tackle IMO. We might think oh they have it easy, they have naukars and God knows how many people to do the work for them, but I dont think it comes without lost
lolz yeah my mum is quite typically, it gives us a lot of laughing at times hehe. If you had asked me the last question an yr ago I wouldnt have an answer for it, cuz no one (well except a few cousins of my mother in uk) have lived on their own for study or work in my family. So basically I wouldnt know what to expect from my parents in that matter. But today I can tell you they are quite fine with it. I am currently during an intership in another city and have to live there for 6 months and my mother was the first one to tell me to go for it. Its quite funny, cuz my mum can be sooo traditional about everything, like when I was younger she was eager to learn me how to cook cuz what would people say when I grew up haha, but when it comes to studies she is very openminded. She is currently telling my younger sis to apply in Uk for universities and my sis is like “I dont wanna go away” lolz 
… I think its cuz when she was younger she liked to study but at that time didnt have the same support or encouragement from her parents and family and she often feels she missed something by not having higher education so she always encourage us to study hard and be something on our own. Like recently she is obsessed with the phd degree and telling me it would be awesome if I could pursue one
