Well this story is fucked. As someone who had a period of being a NEET, even though as an American, I can't imagine being so ungrateful that I'd try to burn the house down, with my family still inside, because I didn't like the food they made.

I think you might be right. Dont several generations of a family live together in Japanese culture?

In most countries it's pretty common. They also have a different style of raising children which involves more extended family/community effort as opposed to the U.S. nuclear family model where it's usually just the parents who insist that them and only them know what's best for their child. We also have this really stupid attitude where parents think they know what's best for them in all regards and should be the final authority on all subjects. Like, that pediatrician didn't spent 8-11 years learning about the anatomy and well-being of children from a medical perspective just for someone to think they know better only because they shoved one out their vagina/came into one. That doesn't make you an expert of anything except reproducing.
