Daily Routine of H4 Ladies

Hi Priya,

Same with me yaar.
I want to do alot of things,but doing nothing(lack of interest/motivation).:drowning
my Daily chores are packing lunch to hubby,india calls,cleaning,laundry.....etc
I also started going to gym these days.
I tried to train my mind to be a happy H4 but not able to cope up with this H4 life.:bonk

 

I am in the same boat.... i try to keep myself occupied by trying out new new dishes everyday ... Apart from that the usual routine cleaning,laundry,cooking and so on.... i used to work in India .. I am a Software Engineer :bangcomp:... Tried for volunteer work also but nothing got owrked out.. Just getting bored day by day :-(

 

Oh Oh...don't give up!! Just a couple ideas!:idea

How about a hobby like crocheting. knitting, embroidery or sewing or even painting? The best part of this hobby is the end result...

Another idea is photography of butterflies, flowers or plants. Post them here and share with the rest of us.

Or perhaps gardening? For starters, something small like a window box planter.

My day doesn't have enough hours to do everthing I want to accomplish.

Hugs,
OOPALL!

:bonkHi all....Look at the icon...same situation is with me.There are so many things out there to catch but my hands are folded back.Anyway getting up early in morning, preparing food, packing lunch, cleaning etc etc..I try to do yoga/pranayam regularly.Try to have a walk in evening.

I know I am loosing interest in daily chores and that is a sure sign of creeping depression. I use to work in India.

I use to volunteer a lot in my daughter's school.
Also nowadays I watch lots of Hindi movies..especially old types.I had never watched saas bahu serials but these days I am watching Pratigya;a new serial on starplus...it looks little genuine...due to its script and dialogue delivery...based on Allahabad

Will somebody tell me pease what is this trackback while replying? I am new and don't have much idea.

Best Wishes to all.









Lets pool in our daily routine........what all the ladies do the whole day,how spend their day?

I'm really bored of the same routine.......nothing much to do...except some of the household chores,surfing net.....no Indians near by,so boring whole day......sometime i start going to gym but can not continue for long.......really lacking motivation.......just getting lazier day by day.......

The advice I gave my working friends from India before they got married and came here on a H4.

Know what you are getting into before considering getting married to a H1B person. You might not be able to work for a long time. Don't jump , get married to an NRI just for the desperation of landing in this country(some of my friends were) and then complain about not able to work. Don't hope that you'll get an EAD and you can start working immediately Instead get prepared mentally that you might have to sit at home whole day or roam around with friends whole day in the worst case.. If you can't then re-think about getting married to a H1B. They say they can't estimate how life is here..Oh well
If they can, then the transition will be little easier. I suggested them to think ahead of everything they might do with the free time..some of them learned some crafts so that they can pass their time ff here
I used to argue with them that how can they get married to a H1B without even thinking about how the life might be here...I guess unless I am in their shoes I can't estimate the situation

Meant No offense to anyone

 

Ladies,
I was on H4 for sometime. I came to US when it was winter and no friends around and I was bored and was constantly nagging my DH. Was working for 4 years before wedding... DH would say " Do something constructive.." and he gave me pointers to what I can learn...

And these were the things I did to pass my time.. Believe me, I forgot the term boredom... And at one point DH started calline me busybee.. LOL

• Learn some new technology (I started with C# and then moved on with SQL). DH installed visual studio on a laptop and I started having hands on experience.
• I used to attend Paint/drawing classes held by Micheals/Joanne. There are still some paintings hung in our house done by me...
• Try some new recipe.. So many of mine were disasters, but still it was a new found interest for me.
• I did yoga everyday.
• I love driving.. So I used to go to some bookstore/library and spend sometime every week. Not only book store, I used to just walk around shopping malls (just for a change).
• Browsed internet a bit.
• Went to gym in the apartment complex
• Then regular cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.,
• I could never stitch even a button and even now I haven't changed in that aspect.. So if you like tailoring, embroidary thats somewhere you can spend some time.

I know saying is easier than implementing. You could try to start with one thing that would interest you and slowly expand your interest.

Just my opinion...
