I have to make a comment, this is crazy i found this out at work recently. I work in an all Japanese office and i am the only foreigner in Snr Management, every male person in the office is given an allowance by their wife's this is crazy, i was asked at lunch if i was given an allowance by my wife and i was very shocked by the question WTF. Grown men being being given Pocket Money - I am from England my wife is Japanese, i am in control of my own money - as a grown man and as a father i pay all the bills and i give my wife a very good allowance - this is Japan and it's a cultural thing but also these men have never been given the chance to be strong adult, never been able to express themselves and still tied to their mothers, lack of communication, Lack of Love, Daddy days on Sunday with the kids and pocket money - WTF.
