A homemaker gets served water & food by other family members. She can decline to make 50 different types of coffees & teas if she's not in the mood. She can buy achaar & paapad from the market if the work load is too much. She gets to take a break from chores & rest at her home after a surgery. She can choose to order food in if she's tired someday. She gets asked by other family members if she's taking her medicines on time. She can deligate work to other family members, without them actively volunteering. She gets to go on holidays, stay at her mother's place, & rest during peaceful afternoons.
When people say they don't want to become a maid like Anupamaa, it's very clear that this is what they mean. And yet, she continues to decline her uncomfortable reality. Chanting 'Ghar ka kaam karne se chote nahi ho jate' is easier than accepting that you're a lowkey maid to most people at your home.
