well, she does call it an 'allowance' so maybe it's bonus on top of other expenses (tho some ppl say textbooks here are like almost 300 dollars per class to begin with)isnt that like 400 dollars per month for a college age daughter ? not much at all

Excuse me, what
I think that's something belong to Japanese culture where the husbands are expected to be the sole bread winner and the wives are expected to stay at home and take care of the family.lol that's kinda old school thinking, other than being super dependent on a spouse's paycheck it is kinda weird considering a lot of women would out live men naturally, but yeah idk how you can say that to someone's face without being smacked
Sure but it is kinda weird to compare it to cheating as opposed to "you got remarried a year after his death?" or so lol, but you'd think if they knew she also had a kid, idk if they were expecting her to straight up die and 'follow him to the grave' or so, but even then i imagine there'd probably be some savings or inheritance setup in case of death or like a long term coma/ilness (esp with the stereotype of "the wive controls the purse strings, i've seen some manga and j-drama scenes where the husband is asking for an 'allowance' as well despite being the breadwinner)I think that's something belong to Japanese culture where the husbands are expected to be the sole bread winner and the wives are expected to stay at home and take care of the family.
For the current rates at this time, 80,000 yen is about 560 US dollars. There was a time when you just divide by yen by a hundred to get the dollar amount, but this is not good.isnt that like 400 dollars per month for a college age daughter ? not much at all
I can imagine it being for 'daily expenses' like food and maybe clothes, if she isn't sending over some 'care packages' bc i imagine other than paying it back per semester, you'd just pay back college debt after graduation the same way it is here? unless you need to pay "rent" for a dorm room tooFor the current rates at this time, 80,000 yen is about 560 US dollars.
