I have seen this to be soooo true amongst women I know, especially those in their late twenties or thirties. They will unfailingly  take on extra assignments that they could easily have let go in order to get praise from their employers and colleagues at the expense of time with their husband and children. They get their sense of accomplishment and self-esteem at work, not as a mother or wife. Even their time at home is dominated by work projects or constant phone calls. It's like they would feel demeaned without it.
 

And, in the past 20 years, you'll add to it the notion that the kids are always the smart ones, while the parents are the feckless idiots.

This is being done deliberately by the Joo in order to subvert the social order established by God.
