Mother Laments Daughter's Changed Attitude After Professional Exam Success

A mother's profound sense of disappointment has surfaced online after her daughter's attitude drastically shifted following her success in a professional examination, an endeavor the mother had financially supported for four to five years.

“

Mom, do you know how much I went through? You don't even come for my birthday, isn't that too much?

The mother, identified as A씨, shared her story on an online community, detailing how she provided consistent financial backing, including 800,000 won monthly, along with covering costs for online lectures and study materials. She also personally drove her daughter to and from study locations daily.

After her daughter successfully passed the exam and settled in Seoul, the relationship dynamics changed. A씨 lamented that her daughter now only sends 100,000 won for special occasions like Mother's Day, her birthday, or her husband's birthday, and only visits home for major holidays.

Aren't there many families that don't provide that much support these days?

When A씨 expressed her feelings, questioning if her daughter understood her sacrifices and criticizing her infrequent visits, the daughter reportedly responded by stating that such extensive parental support is commonplace today. She further claimed that as the eldest child, she had already contributed significantly by attending university on scholarships and suggested her parents should view the professional exam preparation period as payment for her expensive university education.

Think of it as paying for my expensive university education during the period I was preparing for the professional exam.

A씨 concluded by expressing her deep sense of emptiness, stating, "It's so disheartening that my daughter, after all the hard work to help her succeed, now acts as if she doesn't remember."
