“Who can report my in-laws”… ‘Report Poom-Ah’ appeared at Mom Cafe, why?

The ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people, which was put down to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), continues even during the Lunar New Year holidays.

Therefore, during the Lunar New Year holidays, if 5 or more people gather in one place, a penalty of not more than 100,000 won will be imposed upon detection.

So, ahead of the Lunar New Year, a true scenery is pouring out.

Recently, a post called’Reporting Poomat’ appeared in Hanmam Cafe.

It is because of the complaining of daughter-in-laws saying that the in-laws are asked to come down even though it is’prohibited for private gatherings with more than 5 people’.

Even one netizen is making a laugh request to Mom Café, saying, “Please report my in-laws.”

If you go to your in-laws to eat your turn, it is inevitable that 5 or more people are accompanied by your children.

One netizen said, “It’s banned for private gatherings with more than 5 people, but my mother is okay.”

Another netizen said, “I’m worried that I should come down because it’s my first holiday after marriage.”

Even if we talk about the situation, the mother-in-law only says “we are okay”, so it is frustrating.

Eventually, as these stories emerged one after another, the so-called `Poomati report` came out such as “Let’s report each other” and “Someone please report our in-laws.”

I had to take turns and not more than 5 people, so I came up with ideas that weren’t ideas.

An aunt (50), an office worker who visits the mother’s house with two sons, said, “Fortunately, I live nearby, so if I go to my mother’s house and take turns, I will send the two sons to my mother’s house. It’s inconvenient, but that’s the only way.

Another office worker Kim Mo (42) said, “I’m thinking of leaving my children at home and going with my wife, but I made a different schedule with my younger brother. I couldn’t even go to Chuseok last year, but I think it’s right to come back like this.”

Mr. Park (37), who plans to visit his wife-in-law, said, “Men, including the father-in-law, will meet at the brother-in-law’s house and the women will meet each other and spend the Lunar New Year.”
