Sleepy tells Hwang Bo Ra the second-baby truth: every day is a war

On the 28th, the YouTube channel 'Borayeti' released footage of Hwang Bo Ra meeting Sleepy's family with her son, Woo-in, to experience joint childcare at a kids' cafe. Hwang Bo Ra stated that she sought him out because she was curious about Sleepy's educational views, discipline methods, and how he plays with his children as a father while preparing for a second child.

At the scene, Sleepy demonstrated his parenting experience by skillfully looking after the two children. As Hwang Bo Ra broke a sweat chasing after the highly active Woo-in, Sleepy advised a method of respecting the child's temperament, saying, "It is good to let them run around until they use up all their energy."

"Jealousy rises when a second child arrives" You must care for the firstborn's heart

In response to Hwang Bo Ra's earnest desire for a second child, Sleepy pointed out the reality, saying, "The happiness is doubled, but the hardship is also doubled."

In particular, Sleepy cited the firstborn's feelings as the most important part when a second child is born. He mentioned the conflict between the second and first child, saying, "When a second child arrives, jealousy can rise. Every day is a war." He continued, "You must create more time to spend with the firstborn. Whether it is the mother or the father, you must make the firstborn feel clearly that they are still loved."

Time after 'parenting retirement' relieved by dramas instead of alcohol

An honest conversation continued regarding methods to relieve parenting stress. Sleepy revealed that after putting the children to sleep, he rests by watching dramas. He added that while he used to drink a lot in the past, he has since quit.

Sleepy stated that he is also actively participating in parenting communities, such as daycare center steering committee activities, group chats, and volunteering. Regarding the changes since starting YouTube recently, he said, "Since I have to spend time with my children on weekends anyway, filming YouTube leads to going on more outings with the family."
