Channel A's 'My Golden Kids' Unveils the Struggles of a Burned-Out Mom and Her Four Siblings

On the evening of the 6th at 9 PM, Channel A's variety show 'My Golden Kids' will feature the story of 'Four Siblings in Tears and a Burned-Out Mom.'

In the studio, a couple married for 14 years with four children—aged 13, 10, 9, and 6—will share their story. The couple, who are raising three sons and one daughter, reveal their struggles as their only daughter has been frequently fighting with her brothers, leading to daily chaos. The sibling rivalry has reached a point where even the parents find it hard to manage.

In a preview clip, the siblings are seen doing their reading homework while their mom is out. The youngest, having finished first, starts making noise, prompting the eldest to mock her, saying, "Go play in your room, you little girl." Upset, she retreats to her room to use her phone. However, the phone's sound reaches the living room, where her brothers secretly plot against her, recording evidence of her exceeding her phone usage time. Realizing this, she breaks down in tears, feeling both shocked and wronged.

The second eldest calls their mom to report the phone usage, and the mom, familiar with the situation, suggests they share a popular snack, 'Doojonku,' to make peace. This leads to a conflict between the third child, who wants to eat it later, and the eldest, who insists on eating it immediately. The eldest then lashes out at the youngest, calling her derogatory names.

Feeling hurt and neglected in the absence of her parents, the youngest cries, "Why do I only have bad brothers?" Watching the footage in the studio, the parents are heartbroken by the situation they were unaware of. Dr. Oh, observing the entire scenario, offers insights into the underlying meanings of the siblings' actions and suggests practical solutions.

The episode promises to shed light on the causes of sibling conflicts that parents of multiple children can relate to, as well as provide practical care tips for the 'middle child' in a gender-imbalanced family. Tune in to 'My Golden Kids' to learn more.
