A mother raising four children had her day revealed, highlighting emotions accumulated under the burden of childrearing and the realistic difficulties.
On the 6th, Channel A variety show
On that episode, a couple raising four children aged 13, 10, 9 and 6 appeared. After both parents, who work full time, left for work, the everyday life of the children left home for vacation was revealed.
About to get off work, the mother faced a sink piled with dishes and a messy living room. Without having rested, she immediately began housework and asked the i-dle to tidy up together, but received little response. Eventually the mother raised her voice, telling them to turn off the TV, and even at that moment she looked exhausted.
The next day the mother briefly went out near her home to meet a friend. With a relatively bright expression as she talked, the mother said, "Even while I was out briefly I received several calls from the i-dle," and added, "I get close to 10 calls a day."
The mother continued, "I used to get irritated and tell them to stop, but now I don't even have the strength to get angry," and said, "They are so pretty and precious, and I feel sorry that I can't treat them well," showing tears. She also honestly confessed, "These days I find myself getting angry at the i-dle repeatedly."
Watching this, Dr. Oh Eun-young cited test results and explained, "The mother showed a severe depressive state, and her burnout score from childrearing stress was also very high." By contrast, the father's two test results were within the normal range.
Upon hearing the test results, the father reacted in surprise, saying, "I didn't realize my wife was in such a difficult state."
Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "The mother is originally a diligent and very responsible person," and added, "The reason she has been able to handle four children until now is because of that strength." She went on to diagnose, "Because she carried most of the burden alone, she lacks the bandwidth to look into the i-dle's feelings."
