A conflict at the dinner table that began with one sharp admonition from the father escalated into a deep clash of parenting perspectives.
On the 30th broadcast of Channel A entertainment show "These days parenting – my golden child," a day in the life of a father caring for four siblings and a conflict that broke out at the dining table were revealed.
On that day's broadcast, while the mother was out, the father was shown taking responsibility for the children's meals. As the father was serving the children, the youngest whined, "There's too much," and the father immediately straightened his face and said, "You'll get scolded by your father if you do that."
In the end, the youngest burst into tears under the pressure of having to finish the meal. The father, his emotions heightened, shouted loudly, "Hey! Eat, you!" and the youngest, looking startled, continued eating while crying. The other siblings also ate in a chilly atmosphere, watching each other's reactions.
Regarding this, Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "I can understand why the youngest is crying. They think they'll be punished if they leave food," and explained, "The child first did not cry but verbally expressed 'there's too much.' It was an appropriate and reasonable expression, but because it was not accepted, the child felt helpless."
She added, "The child may later remember, 'my father didn't listen to me and only scolded me,' and a situation could arise where the father says, 'I loved you.' You have to understand these differing perspectives."
On another day, a scene of the father drinking with friends after a long time was also shown. The father told his friends, "Raising four is hard. It's a worry," and confessed, "I'm from a generation that didn't receive expressions of love from our fathers. We were raised coercively, but I don't want to do that to my children."
Unable to finish saying "I'm really sorry," the father broke down in sobs and could not stop crying, saying, "I'm so sorry to my children." The friends who watched also shed tears, and the studio panelists showed a solemn atmosphere.
Meanwhile, "These days parenting – my golden child" airs every Friday at 9 p.m. <
