While doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan),
This content is machine-translated.
is sacrificing yourself and working for your parents really something to be praised?
My father told me, “A girl I know works part-time and gives her father money after he became unemployed—for his sake. You’re truly pathetic.”
I’m doing my best in my own way.
Is it really considered normal in society to work yourself to the bone and give money to your parents? Of course, I intend to contribute financially once I get a full-time job, and I know I’m relying on them too much.
Also, even if I do papa-katsu, I plan to take that secret to my grave.
Once you become a full-time employee, why not move out of that house, become independent, and live on your own?
It won’t be easy, though. Happiness comes from within.

I think sacrificing yourself by working for your parents can be a touching story in certain circumstances.
It becomes a touching story when the child willingly chooses to work as a way of repaying their parents. If the parents tell them to be filial and hand over money, and the child does it reluctantly, then it’s not a touching story.
For example, if you throw yourself in front of a runaway trolley to save five people, sacrificing your own life to stop it, that would be seen as noble. But if those five people push someone else in front of the runaway trolley to save themselves, they could potentially be charged with murder. At best, they might not be punished under the necessity defense—but it would never be considered a touching story.

I wonder. Maybe she was just saying it?
Normally, you don’t count on your daughter’s money, do you?
I asked my son for some “New Year’s gift” money, but he ignored me (lol). I was planning to give my grandchild a gift and recoup the money from my son, but it didn’t work out! (lol)

What does “normal” even mean?
Everyone has their own idea of what’s normal.
I feel there’s quite a difference between contributing money to your family, working for your parents, and sacrificing yourself to work for their sake.
In any case, even if you’re a student, I think this question is a bit much coming from someone in their twenties.
