A mother expressed her distress over her mid-20s daughter who freely makes major life decisions such as marriage and childbirth.

JTBC's 'Sageon Banjang' reported on the 24th the story of informant A, who was troubled by her willful daughter. According to the report, A's daughter graduated from university in another region and while living there suddenly confessed, "I have been cohabiting with my boyfriend for three to four months." She then said, "I want to continue living together after properly informing my parents." Shocked, A wanted to oppose her daughter's cohabitation but ultimately could not break her stubbornness.

Soon after, the daughter even urged her parents, saying, "I want to get married quickly." A tried to dissuade her, saying, "Shouldn't you at least date for a year?" but once again could not win against her daughter. When A contacted the boyfriend's parents to prepare for the wedding, she received the reply, "Didn't you know? Your daughter is already two months pregnant." Shocked, A suggested, "Then let's have the wedding quickly before the baby shows," but her daughter insisted, "I will have the wedding after giving birth and losing weight." A confided to 'Sageon Banjang,' "I am exhausted from fighting every day with my daughter who does not listen to her parents," and said, "I am worried whether I should go along with my daughter's wishes again or force the wedding quickly."

Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "She is an adult, so she should be allowed to make her own choices and take responsibility," "It is inevitable because the parents raised the child that way," "The daughter is immature, but children are not the property of their parents," and "Even if they get married, financial support should not be provided."
