A story has been revealed about a couple in their 40s, married for 16 years and of the same age, who are experiencing deep conflict due to differing parenting philosophies.

On the 2nd, the tvN STORY variety program 'Lee Ho-seon Counseling Center' featured a 42-year-old couple from Busan who have been married for 16 years, sharing their concerns over their children's education.

The husband currently works in self-employment, while the wife is active as a broadcaster and reporter in the Busan area. On this day, the wife began by saying, "My husband is a steady and free-spirited soul, whereas I raised the children in an analog style, strictly following the FM approach."

She continued, "As the children grew older, they started ignoring my words. If mom and dad think alike, the children won't be confused, but from the kids' perspective, 'Dad says it's okay not to do it, but Mom says they have to,' so the situation keeps becoming overwhelming for them."

In particular, the wife also revealed her firm parenting philosophy. She said, "I raised both my first and second child using cloth diapers and breastfeeding. Even if I felt a bit uncomfortable, I believed that putting in such effort would surely bring good results for the children."

In response, MC Lee Kyo-jin asked, "Was there a specific trigger that intensified the differences in your parenting philosophies as a couple?" The wife replied that changes occurred as she began balancing work and childcare.

The wife recalled, "When the children were around 3 and 4 years old, I started working as a reporter. Until then, I was a full-time housewife and took on the role of the primary caregiver, and my husband tended to follow my approach exactly."

However, she confessed, "As I started working, the time I spent away from home increased, and naturally, the children spent more time with their father. My father developed his own way of raising children, and from that point on, our approaches kept clashing."
