Dr. Oh Eun-young from 'My Precious Child' expressed anger over the irresponsible behavior of parents who neglect child-rearing.
On the broadcast of Channel A's 'Recent Parenting - My Precious Child' on the 22nd, the story of 'Parents who disappear every night and seven foul-mouthed siblings' was revealed, highlighting that the greatest problem lies with the parents.
On this day, the couple of seven siblings shared their concerns about the fifth child, Geumjok's, foul language. It turned out that Geumjok suffers from 'Tourette syndrome,' and not only Geumjok but also their six-year-old sixth child, who is still in diapers, used foul language, shocking everyone.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Oh Eun-young stated, "Seeing this, there is a bigger problem. Foul language has become a part of life in this household. People assume that a large family will be harmonious, but there is no interaction here." She analyzed, "As a result, the children react to everything with foul language. There are no other words apart from that," pointing out to the parents, "You have been very indifferent."
Above all, it was revealed that the greatest problem in Geumjok's family is not Geumjok but the parents. The couple left their third child in charge of parenting, went out, and returned home at dawn. In the meantime, the third child took care of parenting and household chores, ultimately shedding tears.
The third child expressed her parenting difficulties during a family outing the next day, saying, "It's hard." However, the mother seemed displeased with the third child who dropped out of school, saying, "If you don't want to take care of the baby, at least go to school," while the father, even using foul language, remarked, "If we let the boarders stay, they should help pay for the food," shocking everyone.
Then, Dr. Oh Eun-young asked, "What do you think the third child is struggling with?" To the parents' answer, "Honestly, I don't know anything outside of parenting," she responded, "This is a big problem."
Addressing the couple, Dr. Oh Eun-young stated, "You need to raise your children properly. Having seven children doesn't make you experts in parenting. However, in this household, the expert is the third child. The third child has become the parent. The children must be in their rightful places. The third child is in the position of a parent. She is like a mother. Right now, the fourth child is being raised by the third child."
Furthermore, Dr. Oh Eun-young noted, "Parents and children do not occupy the same position. They are not at the same level. It doesn't stop there; there is also a lack of basic expressions of gratitude and appreciation. They take it too much for granted. Why do they not recognize the legitimacy and validity of the third child struggling?"
Then Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "It seems like they are using the children as labor. If you are not going to school, it's interpreted as, 'You should be taking care of the children at home; you have to contribute by helping out with meals.' The philosophy and standards of the parents regarding how they view their children seem to be highly problematic."
Meanwhile, even after returning home late at night, the parents spent quiet moments together while leaving the household chores to the third child. Ultimately, the third child went into the restroom and secretly wiped away her tears.
Due to the neglect in parenting, the children's daily patterns were also a mess. The children, who did not fall asleep until 1 a.m., did not try to sleep until after 4 a.m. Dr. Oh Eun-young commented, "To be blunt, they are parents who have had seven children but seem to have zero parenting skills and are still in a dating phase. They are parents, but they have not become real parents."
Previously, the couple had mentioned they were considering having an eighth child. Dr. Oh Eun-young stated, "They should absolutely not have another child. This is not an environment suitable for raising one more. Frankly, if I express it too harshly, just giving birth doesn't make them parents."
She continued, "I believe that the entire parenting environment is due to the parents. There is no education, including discipline. To put it simply, there is no home education," expressing concern that "When they go out into society at the appropriate age, the children will face challenges. They are stuck within the confines of home. The children have no dreams or hopes for the future."
