Seo Jang-hoon & Lee Soo-geun Show Empathy for 'Golden Years Parenting' Story, Criticize Daughter's Approach

KBS Joy's 'Ask Us Anything' (Mu-u-u-dam-bo-sa-al) aired its 332nd episode, featuring a poignant story about parenting in one's twilight years that resonated with viewers.

A guest appeared on the show, sharing their experience raising their eldest daughter's two sons. The guest mentioned that while the grandsons were rambunctious, they found their energy endearing. However, their daughter disapproved of toys like water guns, deeming them detrimental to education.

Reacting to this, Seo Jang-hoon sternly advised the daughter, stating, 'Water guns are something boys like. Unforeseen situations arise when raising children. If you dislike these things, you should leave the childcare to the father.' The guest also expressed frustration with their daughter's rigid parenting schedule, including strict meal and brushing times, and noted their daughter's displeasure when any deviation was suggested.

Seo Jang-hoon emphasized that 'at the end of everything is love,' acknowledging the guest's desire to help their daughter but clarifying that they are not obligated to follow her parenting methods unconditionally. Lee Soo-geun also placed responsibility on both the daughter and son-in-law for requesting the guest's help, suggesting they should offer compensation like pocket money or trips.
