i can soooooo relate to that :hinna: when i go to Pakistan for holidays, i feel like i’m in a 5 star resort…not a third-world country, for me life here is sooooo much more stressful and difficult at times 
not referring to just the cooking/cleaning aspect but the lack of family support and help which counts for a lot for eg. my toddler is sick with a cold today and in addition to the housework i have my pre-schooler to pick/drop from school, since im new to the city i don’t know of any trustworthy baby-sitters/domestic help (don’t trust them alone with kids anyways) thus juggling like crazy…thats the way it is here, no one to really share the load with
