The Influence of Tradition and Culture
"My alarm goes off at 5:30 AM. My mother-in-law thinks 5:30 is late, but she tolerates it because I make good filter coffee. By 7 AM, I’ve packed lunch for my husband, ironed his shirt, and prepared breakfast for the family. I leave for my marketing job at 9 AM. At 7 PM, I return to the same apartment. My mother-in-law remarks, 'You're home late.' I smile. I cook dinner. At 11 PM, I finally sit on my bed. My husband asks, 'Why are you so tired?' I don't have the energy to explain.
