[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] The couple Hong Ji-min and Do Seong-su showed a tendency to prioritize their eldest daughter amid sibling conflicts. In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young offered practical advice.


On the 20th, JTBC's 'The Most Ordinary Family' aired, revealing the lives of the couple Hong Ji-min and Do Seong-su and their two daughters, sisters Roshi and Rora.


In the broadcast, Hong Ji-min explained, "We had our first daughter after 9 years of marriage. We failed three times with IVF and three times with artificial insemination, but miraculously conceived our first daughter naturally."


She also shared her parenting struggles, saying, "Roshi and Rora have been jealous of each other lately and fight every day."


She added, "As the younger one grows, she often takes her older sister's belongings. So eventually, we end up buying two of the same item."


Regarding this, Dr. Oh Eun-young advised, "The younger daughter wants to interact with her older sister. It may seem like she is causing trouble, but she genuinely wants to play together." She continued, "The eldest daughter is not being generous; she is giving up her belongings and avoiding the situation."


That day, the eldest daughter Roshi's abnormal behavior was also observed. When her mother Hong Ji-min was not looking, Roshi pushed her younger sister with her foot. Rora got angry and locked Roshi in a room. Hong Ji-min did not see Roshi's behavior and scolded Rora instead.


Moreover, Roshi said "Let's get rid of her" when she saw Rora imitating a cat. When Hong Ji-min tried to play with Rora, Roshi insisted, "I come first." Eventually, Hong Ji-min held Roshi first.


Hong Ji-min's husband Do Seong-su said, "I heard that after the second child is born, the eldest feels the sorrow of losing her country. So we tend to be more considerate toward the eldest."



In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young warned, "If parents always say the older sister comes first, she will take her rights for granted."
