Nam Bora shares raw parenting struggles at 70 days

Actress Nam Bora has opened up about the realistic hardships of being a first-time parent. As her 70-day-old baby, Kong-al, enters a new stage, a recent look into their daily life highlights the heavy weight of childcare. Through a recent vlog, Nam shared her life with Kong-al, candidly expressing the honest emotions she feels as a new parent.

"I was a fake genius": Nam Bora's realization of the weight of parenting

Nam referred to herself as a "fake genius" while confessing the difficulties of raising a child. Although she had felt somewhat confident about childcare previously, she faced unexpected challenges in the actual field of parenting. "I lived thinking I was somewhat capable of looking after a child, but I am realizing intensely that I was just a fake genius," Nam said, expressing her apologies to Kong-al for having to deal with such clumsy parents during the newborn stage.

In the video, Nam and her husband appeared flustered by the sudden situations that arise while caring for the baby. In particular, the times when the baby refuses to sleep and the repeated overnight feedings were described as the biggest hurdles faced by novice parents. Watching the video back, Nam admitted how clumsy they are, stating, "We really are terrible at looking after a baby.'

Kong-al's new environment at 70 days: Moving into the house

The video also captured Kong-al adjusting to a new environment at 70 days old. A vlog titled "Kong-al's Day 1 in the House" was released, marking the baby's 70th day. The process of preparing a home for Kong-al and spending the first day together evoked both excitement and tension. The daily routine of trying to grasp the baby's sleep patterns and continuing overnight feedings shows the unfiltered reality of parenting.

Nam and her husband tried to help the baby sleep, but they felt the difficulty of parenting as they spent nights that were not as easy as they hoped. As revealed in the video title, questions like "Why won't the baby sleep?" and "When will the baby sleep?" were the daily worries and core topics for the novice couple. The process of starting overnight feedings and the couple's struggle to induce sleep captured the true state of parenting.

An awkward start: A couple growing alongside their baby

This video does not merely list the hardships of parenting; it shows the process of imperfect parents learning through their child. Nam even laughed at their own clumsy behavior, conveying the preciousness of each day being built with Kong-al. Watching the baby's growth over 70 days, the video captures how the parents are also breaking out of their novice shells and growing.

Despite the overnight feedings and irregular sleep patterns, the sight of Nam and her husband finishing their first day in Kong-al's house resonates with many first-time parents. Though it is a clumsy start, the couple's daily life of growing a little more each day with their baby signals the beginning of the long journey of parenting.
