Maintaining a Large Home in the US: An Indian Woman’s Experience

An Indian woman living in the United States recently shared a relatable glimpse into the realities of maintaining a large home abroad. Aakanksha posted a video from her home’s lawn, showing piles of dry leaves scattered all around. She started by saying, “It looks so beautiful, right? Such a nice house, but look at this.”

Aakanksha highlighted the effort it takes to maintain the property. She expressed how exhausting it is — from cleaning the outdoors, mowing the grass during summer, to removing snow in winter. “Maintenance is not easy. A big house is a big pain,” she said.

In the video, a caption read, “Reality of big house in the US,” while the post’s caption humorously added, “Big house, big pain. Thanks to my unpaid Bagbaan,” referring to the hard work that goes unnoticed.

The post resonated with many who commented about their own experiences, agreeing that large homes require far more effort than people assume. The video has struck a chord with viewers who appreciated its honest take on life abroad — showing the often unseen labor behind maintaining a beautiful property.
