Maybe its the pressure built up that makes her feel like Korea is her only outlet, but try and find temporary solutions that you can do until then. You said you only recently starting feeling like this toward your mother. Perhaps your lack of caring beforehand, coupled with your dad's stinginess, has led her to feel like Korea is her only outlet. Try and show that you care for her and fill that void. Overall though, I'm glad you are learning filial piety and I think it's something we should all strive more to do as well. | ||

I have tons of asian friends but they arent QUITE as subservient as korean culture appears to be from the outside, but they are subservient none the less (especially the girls) I just wonder what would happen if one day they dont take it anymore. Would they be beaten? So they beat you to prove their point......fuck them they arent worth your time anyway. Do they shun you? Again......just dont talk to them anymore. Maybe im a bit cold but IMO some people have shitty families and the fear they put into you is what keeps you submissive. IMO it would be better to be alone then to be around a bunch of pig headed assholes. You have no idea how hard that is though, to be shunned and to have your entire extended family disown you. It happened to me for about 2 years because I 'didn't take it anymore'...eventually before I went fucking insane I just fell back in line. | ||

:p Just kidding of course. Honestly that's a very sweet thing that you are doing for her. You're dad is playing out a really nasty stereotype that he should be ashamed of. I hope you can confront him about it sometime in the future, but if not at least letting your mom know that YOU appreciate her will be worth more than words can say. Good luck  | ||

You should give your dad the money so that he can buy more chopsticks and pursue his dream of being a professional chopstick tosser. He was once young, with dreams and ambition - but that was soon tempered by the emergence of an unsupportive family that makes a big deal about it when he practices at the dinner table. | ||

I don't ask for anything else but for some good food when I want it. I'm bringing the money into this house so can't I ask for that? Sigh my wife wants to go to Korea for ORGAN LESSONS!? WHY CANT SHE TAKE THEM HERE!? I'm gonna have to take care of the kids and do all the household chores... not to mention that a trip to korea is fucking expensive these days... Geez, I wish my family would just understand that I'm stressed when I get home due to work. All I want to do is sit down, relax, and get the food I want. Is that too much to ask!?" Sure your dad isn't even close to being the perfect parent, but I think everyone fails to see the situation from his perspective. Do what you want, but don't go hating on your dad. Your mom certainly doesn't blame your father, she should know what he goes through. This is kinda like the situation with my parents back in the day. However my mom wasn't a stay-home mom and made more money than my dad actually. It really annoyed her and it nearly led to a divorce. I understand your anger in this aspect. I really disliked my dad. After some healing of relations and working it out together, we're pretty happy now and my mom and dad haven't fought in a long while. Your post reminds me of something + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF106-Billy_the_Bunny.jpg) | ||

If you do this without your dad knowing it, this thing sparks up attention and might resolve some heated arguments (hidden affair thoughts and such). Better thing is to use your money to yourself or save it. Then use it later on something else you like. You guys should have really read this post, he is actually correct. As much as I can understand you for doing what you want to do.. IT WILL cause a lot of drama once your dad finds out. Lets say you do send her to Korea and have her do her thing.. What if she comes back and your dad is extremely pissed and leaves her.. how will she take care of herself then? If you can do it, then go through with your plan.. if not, you better think twice. There are other options to get your mom to where she wants to go but hiding it from your dad is probably not a good idea. EDIT: just think of the consequences before you do anything =) | ||

Tripadvisor.com or just send lilsusie a message and ask her what would be the best flights. I found that KoreaAir was pretty cheap. It was like $1200 for a roundtrip, but usually for some weird reason, one ways cost a bit more -_-; | ||
