Lee Da-eun Confesses to Parenting During Single Mom Days... Changed Educational Views After Meeting Yoon Nam-gi

On August 19, Lee Da-eun celebrated her daughter Ri-eun's eighth birthday through her SNS and honestly shared her parenting experiences from her time living as a single mom. At that time, while raising her daughter alone, Lee Da-eun always felt sorry toward the child, and to alleviate that guilt, she would frequently buy various gifts, including toys, every weekend. She shared her feelings at the time, stating that she also found comfort in seeing the child look happy.

However, after meeting Yoon Nam-gi, whom she connected with through MBN's 'Dolsing Fourmen 2' and remarried in 2022, Lee Da-eun's parenting style underwent a change. Yoon Nam-gi advised that if a child obtains what they want too easily, the value and joy of the gift may decrease, suggesting that it is educationally better to wait for special days and gift the child what they truly want. Although Lee Da-eun initially found it difficult to empathize with this thought, as time passed, she felt the need for change as she saw the child not being as happy as before even when receiving toys.

Lee Da-eun revealed that she realized that simply buying many things is not the entirety of love. She came to believe that the process of the child waiting for something and the experience of feeling gratitude for small things is important, and this educational view is being carried over to her second son, Nam-ju. She added that for Nam-ju's recent second birthday, she had intended to prepare a large gift, but she is practicing restrained parenting by accepting Yoon Nam-gi's opinion.

For Ri-eun's eighth birthday this time, Lee Da-eun prepared a special event where she remembered the items her daughter had said she wanted over the past year and gifted them all at once. Receiving a Cinderella dress, glowing shoes, character toys, and more, Ri-eun showed great joy and shed tears, and Lee Da-eun reported that watching this, she felt she had grown further as a mother. Lee Da-eun expressed her affection by leaving a sweet message to her daughter, who has become a first-grader, saying that Mom and Dad will always be by her side.
