Sharing with People's Artist Hong Van, Ms. Quynh Anh said about her husband: "He is the one who earns the most money, but also the one who spends the most on shopping.
Every day, he buys everything online, from food, drinks to linhistic dishes, even some things he doesn't use to buy.
Almost all of the items in the house were ordered online, and the amount of money spent was huge. I don't like to shop online much, unless I really need it, I think carefully and order. I always prioritize spending on my children, so I don't dare to spend it in waste."
Mr. Nguyen Trong Duc - Ms. Quynh Anh's husband - shared with psychologist Linh Trang that he is the one who decides everything in the family, from cooking to taking care of children. When he heard his wife "accusing", he confided: "I often buy food and snacks. Before, I liked the taste of salted pigs so I bought them to enjoy with friends, but then I left them in the refrigerator for 2 years.
Every time the goods were delivered with quite high prices, Ms. Quynh Anh reminded her husband but not so tense that there was a conflict.
"I also reminded him, then the two of us were silent for about 1-2 hours and made peace with each other, so it was not as noisy as when we were young. The peak of the conflict did not last more than 24 hours. When I am angry, there may be negative words, but I adjust them" - Ms. Quynh Anh.
To take care of his four children to go to school in the future, Mr. Trong Duc has also gradually limited online shopping.
Ms. Quynh Anh confided: "The family costs are a lot, the children are getting older, the education and spending are everything. I can't continue to follow my interests but shop for linh tinh like before."
Mr. Trong Duc used to be a chef, but later he followed his father's family business - burial. When his father passed away, that was the most heartbreaking time for him. To help him overcome that difficult period, she was always there to encourage and comfort him, not leaving him alone.
Dr. Linh Trang (Ho Chi Minh City Academy of Officials) sympathizes with Mr. Trong Duc's mood. However, the female doctor also advised him to reduce his shopping addiction, so that his wife would not have to be embarrassed: "It's true, if you go beyond the limit, you will overcome the barrier of others".
