Oh Eun-young‘s warning, serious parenting burnout mother + stubborn daughter earnest advice (Golden)

On Channel A’s ‘Today‘s Parenting - My Golden Child’, the story of a mother who fell into parenting burnout due to her stubborn daughter who is about to enter elementary school and raising her alone is introduced.

On this day, a couple with an eldest daughter who is about to enter elementary school and 20-month-old twin sisters appear in the studio. They confess that Geum-jok is a dependable older sister who takes good care of her younger siblings, but her strong stubbornness and sudden tantrums make parenting difficult. In particular, she is stubborn all the time and cannot control her emotions when things don’t go her way, making the family‘s daily life difficult. What on earth is the reason for Geum-jok’s behavior?

Through the observed footage, Geum-jok‘s daily life preparing dinner is revealed. During mealtime with the three sisters, Geum-jok suddenly makes a sullen expression in the middle of eating. When the mother sees this, she sighs deeply, puts an hourglass on the table, and urges her to eat quickly in Korean.

However, the mother, who had been speaking Korean to Geum-jok, is caught naturally speaking Chinese to her younger siblings. The mother continues to take care of her younger siblings in Chinese, and Geum-jok is bewildered because she does not understand. Dr. Oh, who was watching this, advises that the child should learn Chinese in order to reduce her sense of alienation.

During snack time, the mother gives Geum-jok the same amount of cereal even though she is much older. Geum-jok complains, saying, “I don’t like it either,” but the mother emphasizes the principle of “fairness” and asks Geum-jok not to take what is from her younger siblings.

However, the twin siblings end up eating their share and touching Geum-jok’s plate. The mother, who could not see this properly, tries to console Geum-jok, and the conflict between Geum-jok, who complains about being wronged, and the mother, who does not understand her, deepens. Dr. Oh, who was watching this, warns, “If despair is repeated, the door to communication will close.”

The mother, who was busy taking care of the three sisters all day, does not even have time to sit down and eat herself because she is busy preparing meals for the family. In the end, the mother hastily eats standing up. However, she becomes resentful of her husband, who does not understand her hardship, and ends up crying. Next, a self-diagnosis test for parenting burnout is conducted in the studio. What is the current state of the mother, who is exhausted from raising the children alone?

Geum-jok, who throws tantrums regardless of time and place, and the mother, who has fallen into parenting burnout. Dr. Oh’s solution for them will be revealed on Channel A‘s ‘Childcare These Days - My Precious Child’ at 8:10 PM on Friday the 14th.
