Mother-in-law receives '2.5 million won per month' in care allowance, all from daughter-in-law... Seo Jang-hoon delivers harsh truth: "My son earns 3 million won" (Lee Sook Cam)
The wife of the 'Others' Couple' confessed to conflicts with her mother-in-law. She paid her mother-in-law 2.5 million won a month in childcare expenses.
On the JTBC program 'Divorce Cool-off Camp' (hereinafter 'SCCC'), which aired on the 17th, the domestic affairs investigation and counseling process for the wife of the 24th 'Others' Couple' was revealed.
Previously, during the husband's domestic affairs investigation, the wife's sharp remarks directed at her husband—who had even taken up designated driver services while struggling with his business—were disclosed. The wife displayed an aggressive attitude, spewing remarks that disregarded her husband.
However, the situation reversed when the wife's domestic affairs investigation was revealed on this day. The wife confessed to the existence of conflicts with her mother-in-law and expressed dissatisfaction with her husband for failing to mediate between them.
Conflicts also arose during the process of receiving childcare assistance from her mother-in-law. The wife stated, "My mother asked my husband, 'How much will you pay me if you look after the second child?' and he was contemplating the matter, but my mother preemptively said, 'I heard that these days, people pay 4 million won for looking after a child.'"
It has been revealed that the wife earns more than her husband.
Upon hearing this, Seo Jang-hoon remarked that the husband should have explained the situation and persuaded his mother.
The video then revealed the husband's claim that he considered the money given to his mother as a form of "savings," as he could receive it back later. Ultimately, he ended up paying 2.5 million won in childcare fees. This fee came from the wife's income.
The husband offered an explanation unrelated to the childcare fee, saying, "It’s not that I couldn't handle a single serving; I spend around 2 million won on groceries." Consequently, Seo Jang-hoon delivered a "fact bomb."
Seo Jang-hoon said, "If her son earns 3 million won and she takes 2.5 million won for babysitting, isn't she just contributing 500,000 won a month? The way I see it, I don't think the mother is fully aware of that. From the wife's perspective, it might be hard to understand."
