A conflict arose between the mother and grandmother surrounding 3rd grader Geumjok.
On the broadcast of Channel A's 'Recent Parenting: Geumjok is like my child' on the 6th, the parenting conflict between the mother and grandmother surrounding Geumjok was revealed.
On that day, Geumjok displayed troubling behavior by calling his grandmother 'mom' and refusing to go to school. Additionally, the mother and grandmother of Geumjok showed deep conflict. They blamed each other, and in between, Geumjok felt anxious. When the mother said she would take Geumjok away, he burst into tears, saying, "I don't want to go. I want to live with my grandmother."
Eventually, Geumjok's mother and grandmother blamed each other, and loud voices echoed in the studio. Observing this, Oh Eun-young noted, "This household seems to be a mess," and said, "The inconsistent parenting between the grandmother and mother could cause chaos in the child's life."
Oh Eun-young remarked, "The fundamental reason for why he is acting this way is because of the conflict between the two of you," and added, "Suddenly, without any preparation, the mother is saying she will take him. They are badmouthing each other, creating a feel of using the child as a hostage to pull and push against one another."
Oh Eun-young pointedly asked, "Don't you both love the child?" The grandmother responded, "I just want to love the child more. I didn't say anything in front of the child," showing her stubbornness.
Oh Eun-young said, "The child understands. There’s no other way. I believe he must feel very anxious," adding, "Will the child be able to be whole? Will he be able to stabilize?" She further advised, "You two do not trust each other. While it can't be solved overnight, if you don't work it out for the child's sake, a significant problem will arise."
