Tell your Mum to go **** her self (sorry about swearing) BUT I am sick and tired of how women are expected to domestic chores in Asian culture. They all can piss off, we live in a western country thankfully. You have more rights here.
Why are women so undermined? They should be more grateful for is, many Asian women work full time have children and manage their housework. Oh, that's because Men are too special and they're a little snowflake. You keep your big mouth, I have a big mouth aswell. Grooms family usually expect their daughter in law to be quiet and do whatever they say (be tolerant). Oh go **** yourself lol. Stupid backwards mentality!
Women leave their family (parents and siblings) to move in with husbands family and look after them, change her surname and bear his children which are going to have his name anyway. (Takes two to make a baby, but woman are never credited for what they do). Oh and if it's not a boy, wait for hell to break loose. (Thankfully, my family isn't like that).
If my potential husbands family is like that, they're just asking to get slapped honestly. I'm definitely not doing the house work or anything, if my husband doesn't contribute. 50/50, I don't give a ****.
Just because she thought one girl is a "****" or whatever in her eyes, doesn't mean men can't be ****s? Double standards much.
Sorry about the long rant, concerning your hijab.. Take it off if you want to. That's your decision to make. I've seen a lot of Muslim girls without hijab and I don't view them any differently. It's all about good character and inner beauty.
Edit: Try googling clearing courses tomorrow morning and hopefully something still should be available. What course do you want to study and where about in terms of area? (So I can help you with your search)
