It was just the way I was brought up, we had chores, we took care of our own stuff, ironing our clothes, organizing our closets cleaning our rooms ever since I was a kid, and was safely able to do that stuff. This helped tremendously when I moved for uni because I had the discipline and ability to live ineendently and not be a slob. Believe me growing up it was no picnic and I did not always like doing the stuff, but realized later on how much it helped.
while in uni I saw how some other guys lived, their places were not just messy, they were filthy..god only knows how they lived in such atmosphere..dirt clothes and clean clothes mixed in a pile in a corner, layer of gunk in the tub, a toilet bowl that was no longer white..washbasins that had never been cleaned, filthy stovetops..sinks overflowing with dirty dishes, half full pots..filthy fridges with fungus growing in half finished chinese food boxes..I really do wonder how they live now.
The biggest challenge is for folks who did not have any responsibility with mom and/or servants taking care of everything especially in Pakistan, and then moving abroad. I know a few cases where the stay at home ladies are overwhelmed with everything and go home to pakistan all summer for a break..
I guess there they cooked as a hobby and did not have to do much in terms of cleaning, and here if you dont have a maid service, you have to do it yourself.
