When parents raise their children and grow up, they will also evaluate their own conditions after working, and give their parents a "filial piety fee" to support their parents every month. However, giving more and less is often the focus of discussion. Recently, some people have even complained that the increase in filial piety fee has caused a marriage crisis.

The 32-year-old husband said that his mother is 60 years old, not only is she old and tired, and she can no longer continue to sell labor and plans to retire with her father, but the pension for the two is too small and the deposit is only more than 2 million yuan. Therefore, she hopes that her monthly filial piety fee can increase from 10,000 to 15,000 yuan, so that they can maintain a monthly life of 15,000 to 20,000 yuan.

As for his mother's requirements, he also evaluated his own economic conditions. His monthly salary is 75,000, and his wife's monthly salary is 45,000. The annual salary of the two people is 2 million. Although he has a daughter and has a monthly mortgage of 30,000 yuan, his filial piety fee has changed from 120,000 yuan to 180,000 yuan a year. Unexpectedly, after discussing with his wife, she became dissatisfied. He was either so angry that he didn't say anything or shouted "I want to move back to her parents' home."

The original PO said that when he was graduating from elementary school, he asked him "whether he relies on himself or his parents", and stated that if he "rely on his parents", he would pay filial piety in the future. At this moment, he chose to rely on his parents, and then his parents provided the book and supplementary work as much as possible. Sooner or later, his life was unsuccessful, and he saw all these hardships, so he was willing to pay filial piety every month. "Thanks them for raising me for spending money on my youthful years."

But my wife's vision is completely different from that of him. She believes that parents and children are so generous. "It is their own problem for the elderly to have no money. When they have old age, they have to bear the evil they have committed." The 10,000 filial piety is already a lot, and it is impossible to add more. The original PO reported that the father-in-law, who passed away last year, had nearly 8 million cash payments. Of course, the mother-in-law did not need filial piety fees, and why did he pay more than his wife, and it was not good to get 180,000 filial piety fees. "Otherwise you will pay a little more." The two of them quarreled constantly, and in the end, the original PO had to ask netizens for help and ask "who is wrong with whom."

Posted to quote a discussion from netizens. Some people think it is said, "To be honest, your parents now need filial piety, and this money will not cause any burden on your life. I don't quite understand why quarrels like this." "Your parents need this filial piety, and I think the increase is reasonable and does not affect your current stage of life. My wife's reaction is very unwilling to be empathetic."

Some people also think that "you need to live and move". Retirement at the age of 60 is too early. If you can continue to work, you can continue to make money and save more money. The original PO can plan to take care of your parents after they are 80 years old and arrange plans for the two olds to raise their plans. Some people point out their wife's psychology, "Of course I'm afraid that there will be two if there is one. Do you understand this truth? The money will only become thinner and thinner, and people will only need more and more money, especially when they get older."

Some netizens suggest that both people can give it fairly, or provide it in a different way, "Fair problem? Otherwise, change it to both sides? Her mother may not need it, but you cannot give it if you don't need it", "Share the 5,000 you want to give it to a specific account every month to give it to both parents' possible medical/care fees for their old age, so that they can rest assured to prepare a cash to support them at any time, and their wife's mother may also have the chance to benefit, and their wife's reversal may be smaller."

The original PO also left a message to reply, saying that his brother's salary was higher and his filial piety was paid more. On the contrary, he did not agree to increase 5,000 yuan because of his wife's attitude, which made his mother feel that he "break his promise" and did not comply with the conditions he had said at the beginning.
