The Challenges of Raising Triplets
Actor Song Il-guk recently opened up about the emotional struggles of raising triplets, sharing his experiences on a television show. During an episode of tvN’s The House of Brides, he discussed his life with his wife and their three children, highlighting the unique challenges that come with parenting multiple kids.
Song Il-guk has been living separately from his wife for two and a half years, which adds to the complexity of managing their family life. He mentioned that his wife is currently in the countryside, while he takes care of the triplets, who are now in first grade. “It’s nothing else, but I have to keep riding after the academy,” he said, expressing his frustration with the demands of daily life.
He also revealed that the triplets were initially supposed to attend school separately due to concerns about comparison among them. However, he refused to follow that approach. “I can’t do that, so I ask the school to do it differently,” he explained. This decision reflects his commitment to treating each child as an individual, rather than letting external pressures influence their upbringing.
Kim Jung-min, another guest on the show, shared his thoughts on how siblings interact when they’re not twins. “We’re not twins, but we’re three kids and we’re working out, so wouldn’t the spotlight be different?” he asked. He pointed out that children who feel they aren’t good enough often hesitate to praise each other, fearing they might hurt someone’s feelings. “They say they’re good at what they’ve done, but they don’t compliment when they’re together,” he noted. Kim added that experts suggest avoiding excessive praise when children are together, as it could lower their self-esteem.
Song Il-guk responded with a simple yet insightful comment: “Learn and Go. I didn’t think so.” His reaction shows that he’s still learning and adapting to the complexities of raising three children.
Navigating Puberty and Parenting Tips
When the topic of puberty came up, Song Il-guk sighed deeply, acknowledging the difficulties that come with this stage of development. He then lightened the mood by jokingly asking for advice, imitating his triplets’ serious expressions as they hit his hand.
Min Young-ki shared his own experiences from adolescence, mentioning that compliments, small gestures, and gentle nagging helped him through tough times. When he asked Kim Jung-min for advice, the response was straightforward: “Just leave the child until he opens up.”
Song Il-guk also opened up about his personal habits, confessing that he has a strong appetite. “Manse is the same as me,” he said, referring to his tendency to eat anything delicious without hesitation. He joked that Kook, one of his children, is just like a mother, showing the different personalities among the triplets.
Living Separately and Family Dynamics
Song Il-guk also reflected on the pros and cons of living separately from his wife. “There seems to be no advantages. I miss you. The wife’s vacancy is quite large,” he admitted. He found it challenging to manage the children’s education and daily routines alone. “It’s hard to do it alone because of the children’s education problems,” he said.
He also mentioned that his wife is not very generous with her compliments, but he admitted that most of their arguments stem from his eating habits. “99% of the reasons I bump into my wife are because I eat. I’m so gluttonous and terrible,” he joked, highlighting the unique dynamics within their family.
