Understanding the Mixed Reactions to Itano Tomomi’s Parenting Video: A Deeper Look at Parental Stress and Public Scrutiny

Question from a reader:
It seems there are mixed opinions about the video of Itano Tomomi scolding her child. I’m curious about it too. It’s common for parents to get frustrated when their usually quiet children start acting up in public or don’t behave as expected. Do those who criticize her feel a sense of disgust towards the parents’ attitude in
such situations?

Mixed Reactions to Itano Tomomi’s Parenting Video

Recently, the video of Itano Tomomi scolding her child has become a hot topic. Hearing about it reminded me of something from my university days, where we had a lecture about parenting and psychological stress. It made me reflect on the emotions parents experience and the external pressures they face. I have a friend who is a parent and often struggles with her child misbehaving in public. One day, when she took her child to the park, the child suddenly started crying. She felt the pressure of those around her and, in that moment, raised her voice, later regretting her reaction. Witnessing her struggle made me realize how difficult it can be to be a parent.

The Existence of Critics and Parental Struggles

The numerous critical comments on the video likely stem from her being a celebrity. She will always have detractors, and some people who have never raised children may criticize her irresponsibly. In reality, parenting is more challenging than one might think, especially in public where children’s behaviors can be unpredictable. I can only imagine that when I become a parent someday, I will face similar situations. There are many moments in parenting where controlling emotions can be quite difficult. My friend often feels frustrated when her child doesn’t behave as expected. During those times, the gaze of others can amplify stress, leading to exaggerated reactions. I hope those who criticize her can understand these struggles.

What Are Your Experiences?

This discussion makes me contemplate the mindset we need to adopt when we become parents. A parent’s attitude and reactions can change based on the situation and stress levels. If others have had similar experiences, I would love for you to share. How did you overcome stress? Even funny anecdotes would be great; please let me know in the comments. It would be wonderful for us all to exchange opinions and deepen our understanding together.
