My aunt's middle school son exploded when she gave him 50,000 won for Chuseok allowance... "The household atmosphere was shattered."

Is 50,000 won not money...

The minimum hourly wage for one hour is 9,860 won...

There are more than one or two nieces and nephews...

Elderly family members' allowances and holiday gifts...

I'm overwhelmed with gifts for my nieces and nephews ㅠㅠ

It's sad to think that they don't realize how precious and grateful we should be for the money given by adults.ㅠㅠ

 

 

 

This Chuseok, a story was shared about how relationships with relatives worsened over a 50,000 won allowance.

Recently, a post titled "I definitely need to handle this situation..." by a mother named Ms. A, who has a middle school son, was uploaded to an online community, drawing attention.

Mr. A, who has been married for 16 years, says that he has lived well without interference or nagging from his parents-in-law.

My husband's family members are very strong-willed, to the point that Mr. A even asked her husband, "Is it okay if we live without contacting or seeing each other like this?"

During holidays, my parents-in-law would be the first to contact us, saying, "Since we're traveling, use the money for transportation to enjoy good food and stay well." Important messages were also conveyed through Mr. A's husband.

However, since we only keep minimal contact without any regular interaction, the child inevitably becomes distant from the in-laws.

However, before this Chuseok, my middle school son was the first to say he wanted to see his grandmother, grandfather, and aunts. Mr. A secretly felt proud of his son and, after consulting with his husband, they went down to the in-laws' house.

The family of Mr. A gathered together in the living room upon hearing the news that his family was visiting his in-laws. Then, they all had a meal together in the living room.

While having a meal, my usually cold and not fond of children older sister-in-law thoughtfully prepared money in a pretty envelope and handed it to the children.

The eldest son, who received and opened the envelope, sighed deeply and said, "Ah, Aunt! What am I supposed to do with this?" pretending to tear the envelope, and the issue arose.

Mr. A thought to himself, "Ah! This guy," as he looked at his sister-in-law's face, but she responded with a cold expression, asking, "How much did you want? What did you want to buy?"

The child immediately said, "You should at least give me enough money to buy an iPad!"

 

 

The older sister-in-law watched the child silently without any change in her expression, then took the envelope given to the child and tore it up right there. She then said to Mr. A's son, "I guess I can never meet my aunt again. No, I shouldn't meet her, right?" and walked away.

The child's allowance was 50,000 won. The child complained, saying, "It was a joke, but aunt really tore up the money."

Mr. A said, "(The child) was crying and throwing a tantrum, but no one supported the child, and the atmosphere became tense." He continued, "I casually said, 'Maybe he's disappointed because it's only one sheet,' and that made my husband even angrier."

He, who conveyed the situation, asked for opinions, saying, "Please give me your thoughts on how to resolve this situation," and sought the opinions of netizens.

 

 

Netizens who heard the story raised voices of criticism, saying, "The family education was exposed in front of the whole family," "Did he thank them while receiving the money envelope?" "How do you raise a child to behave like that?" and "Like mother, like son."

As criticism from netizens continued, Mr. A posted an explanation.

He said, "According to the kids, among friends, these days during the holidays, getting pocket money from relatives is really great, so I wondered if it was true and decided to visit my in-laws' family."

Then, I was surprised and hurt because I didn't know that my aunt would tear up an envelope containing 50,000 won. She revealed that her husband yells all sorts of insults at the child. She and the child were scolded as if they were criminals.
