After picking up her daughter, Bela, from the bus stop on weekdays, the mother immediately entered the kitchen to tackle household chores. She washed the dishes from earlier, prepared ingredients for dinner, and began cooking. Despite the straightforward nature of these tasks, she often felt overwhelmed and exhausted by the end of her routine.
