It's just too bad you ate surrounded by such mean people..definitely lot of responses are due to "sour grapes".. Many people are jealous of your comfortable lifestyle..
Also you seem to be too nice to give them back with sharp replies..
In India in spite of having maid For cleaning work I'm struggling to manage everything.
Really I'm too exhausted to exercise also..
you're managing all yourself without help, how can anyone call you lazy?
Some people will be resentful of leaving job and sitting at home and they may assume that being a home maker is big torture..maybe she belongs to that category and vented out to you..but she could have made as general discussion and not taunted you..
Why don't you start a blog for fitness, cooking, home related stuff etc which you're so good at?

I have heard of NRI home makers doing home catering business..working people are too exhausted and busy to cook Indian food..they would happily shell out money to get healthy home cooked food..
My acquaintance who lived for many years in U.S. Told me that she and her friend used to prepare gravy sabji , rotis etc according to demand in weekends and working ladies would pay her good money for the food..she is from a respectable family by the way..( Since she did unofficially it's tax free income..hehe)
my relative who is settled in U.S. Used to pay a Gujarathi lady to make Parathas ...would call and tell her previous day about requirement ...and would pick up rotis, Parathas etc form her how, on the way back from work..would freeze and store for few days and use..
It's a perfectly respectable job..but if people want to throw taunts at anyone they will anyway do it..
If u work in IT job and earn well they'll ask you why you neglect family for the sake of career..
Just become thick skinned.

Need suggestion for the below scenario which is rotating in my mind from quite a few months.

I am a working women with kid and settled abroad but some how from past few months I am feeling like to stop working and give time to my self like going for walks ,TV time,pampering oneself,spending time with kids etc etc overall want to be stress free.

I know have lots of responsibilities like buying a home ,kids education etc etc and my hubby is working which is not that much enough.Can some of the ladies you have faced such situation can share their thoughts and views on the same.

I think you need a vacation! Perish such thoughts - don't leave work! Apart from kids and home - you need to save for your retirement and also be healthy.
At one point, my husband's business was doing well and I too went through this phase of giving up my job and just enjoy. But I continued - with less determination though. When his business hit a plateau - I was glad I had my job. If you feel stressed or bored, it is time for a nice long vacation - you need to spend on a holiday if you cant afford it. You can just chill at home for 2 weeks or so.

Hope this helps!
