'My parents fought everyday for money. My mother did not have a single penny in her hands and we were six children at home. She had to fully depend on my father's income, had to eat what he could bring, never could help her parents because she had nothing. When their fight turned bad they had beaten up each other and spent days without talking. I never saw them gossiping or smiling with each other. I loved them both deeply. I had seen my father to work 16 hours of all year round even in Eid day, as my mother was not the earning person she spent her whole life like a slave. My father died at sixty and at his death bed my mother was complaining how would she get money to survive, as he left no savings. When I get married I was a housewife too, within a year of our marriage I saw the reflection of my father on my husband. He was tried, tired of bearing a join family of five members, where no women earns and the only man was fighting for money, had spent night in leg pains and became angry with everything. I started working to save my husband. It was not that he asked for my help.but I can not do the mistake my mother and grand mother did. Now we earn equal and share same portion of responsibility for our family. To my surprise he helps with house hold works and look after our kids now, that I never saw my father did. I have my own saving and from there I help my mother & younger sisters in need. I bought a refrigerator last month with my money because my husband is very fond of cold water. My work saved my life and my marriage' - Dilara
