There's nothing to do at my house," she said, adding that she prioritizes her own enjoyment when her husband is away, whether it's cooking or sleeping in.

Her primary advice is directed towards her son, Ammar Effendy. "If your behavior is like 'worthless creatures,' how can you get a 'heavenly' wife?
