Actress Hwang Bo-ra recently shared her struggles with parenting stress, shedding tears over the challenges.
On May 8, a video titled “Hwang Bo-ra’s son, fully charged with dopamine thanks to dad’s first-ever solo parenting | Mom’s vacation, parenting, discipline” was uploaded to her YouTube channel, ‘Hwang Bo-ra Boraiety’.
Speaking from a hotel in Seoul, Hwang Bo-ra revealed, “I was so exhausted after a two-day trip that I couldn’t even film a video.” She shared that her husband kindly booked the accommodation for her, telling her to get some much-needed rest.
She opened up about her worries regarding her son, Woo-in, who is nearly two years old. “He’s very unique. He can’t sit still in a restaurant for more than 10 minutes and struggles to focus on a single activity for long,” she confessed.
Hwang Bo-ra added, “I’ve heard that boys are just like that, but when I ask people around me, they say it’s not usually to this extent.” Feeling uncertain, she asked for support, saying, “I worry if I’m raising Woo-in correctly. If there are other moms going through the same thing, please help me.”
She later consulted a parenting expert via phone. The teacher noted, “The child is still very young, so it’s too early to judge based on the current state. However, it seems there aren’t enough opportunities for Woo-in to learn self-regulation.”
Netizens offered their support, commenting, “If it’s too difficult, it might be helpful to seek professional guidance,” and “The child is still so young. Mom, you’re doing a great job. Please don’t doubt yourself or be too hard on yourself.”
