The emotional story of four siblings trembling at the news of their father's drinking was unveiled.
On the October 6th episode of Channel A's 'My Golden Kids,' the story of 'Four Siblings in Tears and a Burned-Out Mom' was featured.
The studio welcomed a couple married for 14 years, parents to four children aged 13, 10, 9, and 6. Both parents are working professionals. The observational footage showed the children spending their day at home alone.
Meanwhile, the father displayed a somewhat authoritarian demeanor towards the children. When one child complained about the large portion of food, he shouted, "Just eat it!" leading the child to burst into tears at the table.
The children expressed fear over their father's drinking, saying, "I don't like it when dad drinks," while the mother tried to reassure them, "Mom said she'd protect you." However, as soon as the father opened the front door, the children pretended to sleep or showed signs of anxiety.
Despite being a loving father, he reportedly becomes troublesome when drinking. The mother confessed, "My husband has a drinking problem," and Dr. Oh advised, "If a child expresses themselves and is met with forceful responses, they may feel powerless."
