Jakarta, March 8, 2024 – Eid al-Fitr is a joyous celebration filled with gratitude, marking the end of Ramadan. It is a time when families gather and friends reconnect. The Lebaran season is also closely associated with the tradition of mudik (homecoming), where many household helpers (“Mbak”) return to their hometowns. The most immediate impact of their absence is a significant increase in household workload. The pressure to keep the house clean, prepare large meals, and host guests can feel overwhelming. This presents a unique challenge for families accustomed to domestic help, as they now have to balance these tasks with their daily responsibilities.
Check out these 3 useful tips for handling Eid al-Fitr without household help at home!
- Simple Meal Prep for a Week
Meal Prep, often referred to as Meal Preparation, involves preparing raw ingredients for multiple meals at once. This technique not only reduces cooking time but is also an efficient way to manage household food expenses. Prepping meals in advance is a powerful strategy to navigate the final days of Ramadan without hassle.Gather simple recipes online or use pre-made seasoning mixes for convenience. Sometimes, preparing ready-to-eat meal options for your kids, like pasta for dinner, can be a great solution. Moms can also explore quick and easy recipes that can be prepared for suhur or iftar.

Children can help tidy up their rooms, Dad can clean the living area, and Mom can focus on cooking. By assigning specific tasks to each family member, chores can be completed more efficiently, making the process quicker and smoother.Dividing chores helps teach responsibility to all family members. Everyone learns to take ownership of their tasks, fostering a sense of accountability that is essential in daily life. - Maximize Quality Time at Home with Family
