A 40-year-old woman’s decision to quit her job and become a “full-time daughter” in the employment of her own parents has sparked (激起) discussions.

Last year, after 15 years of working for a news agency, 40-year-old Nianan quit her job. She had to be on-call 24 hours a day and was constantly under stress. Luckily, her parents came up with a better employment offer if she just quit the job that made her so miserable. “Why don’t you just quit your job? We’ll take care of you financially,” the woman’s parents said, promising to pay her 4,000 yuan per month if she just came and lived with them. That obviously meant no more housing costs, and saving on food and various household items, as the parents would take care of such expenses. So Nianan quit her job and became a “full-time daughter”.

After a year in her parents’ employment, Nianan describes her work as one “filled with love”. She spends her days accompanying her mother and father when they go grocery shopping, she cooks dinner with them every evening, drives them around when they need to, and even has an hour to dance with them every day. Nianan says that she is also responsible for managing the electronics around the house, and for planning one or two family trips every month.

As happy as this routine may seem, the 40-year-old woman says that she still sometimes feels “the desire to make more money”. Luckily, her parents have nothing against that, if it’s what she wants. “If you find a more suitable job, you can go for it,” Nianan’s parents told her. “If you don’t want to work, just stay at home and spend time with us.”

This unusual arrangement sparked a heated online debate, with some people criticizing(批评) the 40-year-old woman for living off her parents, and others claiming that it was just their business as a family.
