Nani House

-

By Aaisha & Amna


Through generations, a mother's house is heaven for a daughter. This place becomes even more special once the girl gets married and settles into her new home. The warmth, comfort, love, and easiness of a parent's home are unmatchable. You will not find it anywhere else in the world. 

When I see my children get excited on Friday afternoons, rushing to get their homework done so they can go to Nani's house, it brings me immense joy. It reminded me of my childhood when I used to go with my mum to her place. 

Allah Pak has indeed made mothers with lots of love. They do things for us that are so mundane, but their love and care make them so valuable. My mother would also prepare my favorite dishes and my children's. Now they wait to meet the kids more than me. 

When I was pregnant with my little one, I stayed quite a lot at my parent's house, so my third child, Aaira, got super attached to my parents. Only they could do all her chores. So she calls my mum her friend. She would sit and play with her Nani and have her favorite yogurt. Even when we went out, she would only sit with her Nani. And on some days, we are not able to go to Nani's house; she is the one who gets the most offended. She looks forward to Fridays more than I do.

The elder two also enjoy it the most when their cousin comes over. They are almost the same age and have grown up together. Both my younger brother and sister were recently in Karachi from abroad. During that time, it was compulsory to stay the night. My kids-Maira and Abdul Rehman-are both very close to my sister. They would spend hours together and have a blast of a time. We would watch movies, order food, go to the mall, or sit at home and play games. We would all sit and play "name, place, animal, or thing." The laughter would be contagious. I miss those days. 

For me, coming over to my mother's place is a break from the daily routine. It gives me a change of location and a much-needed reboot for the coming week. I get to relax and enjoy myself while not worrying about anything. May Allah Pak grant longevity and wellness to all parents.

About Aaisha

By Aaisha Assalamu Alaikum, My name is Aaisha,  and I'm a mother of four—two girls and two boys—and a housewife. There isn't anything special about me because I'm a standard housewife. However, I want to step outside my comfort zone and try something new.  My only goal is to have fun and spice up a little. I started looking for activities a housewife could do while sitting in her room because I felt a little depressed about my regular daily routine.   As my brain gradually began to function, I decided to start writing. I looked into the subject but discovered that everyone was talking about everything except us - the housewives. Since I live in Pakistan with a very conservative family, people assume housework is easy, and housewives lead comfortable lives. Still, they don't realize that it is just as exhausting to be a housewife as it is to be a working woman.  A working woman gets a day off, or a holiday, while a housewife works every holiday, every leave, and even eve

Joint Families In Pakistan

-

By Aaisha Joint families undoubtedly have a significant impact on our children's lives. Grandparents are an enormous resource for homeschooling, but a housewife has to sacrifice a lot for her children. Furthermore, it is impossible to say that mixed families are without problems when a conservative family is involved. Maintaining family traditions is admirable, but they sometimes work in our lives.  The purpose of bringing up this topic is not to hurt anyone; instead, it is to illustrate the feelings of a woman or housewife. It's not just valid for modern women, I'm sure; it was also true for our moms, grandmothers, and mothers-in-law, who felt the same things but couldn't express them at the time. People tended to focus more on the disadvantages in a study on joint families in Pakistan, although I don't concur with them. However, several advantages also deserve to have a place. So let's talk about the benefits and drawbacks I have learned from my experience and

So let me begin by introducing my first child: Maira Mirab: Maira means "upright, virtuous, and righteous," and Mirab means "flower of paradise." She is the big sister to her siblings and my first child. She is choleric, companionable, loud, confident, upbeat, and independent. She enjoys doing crafts and taking pictures.

Besides playing video games, he enjoys playing cricket. Aaira Mirab: Aaira means "noble, honorable, and respectful." She is my third child.
