At noon on a Friday in the hot summer vacation, 25 groups of parents and children gathered in the bunker area next to the No.9 Watergate in Everybody Riverside Park. A group of preschool children struggled to dig sand barefoot in the scorching sun, and their cheeks were red. Some toddlers spray water into the air with water spray cans, which instantly brings coolness and laughter. Parents sit on picnic mats in the shade of trees and chat. They are "study groups for parents and children with Bigfoot" all over Taiwan Province Province in recent two years.
It is easy to find a green leaf (dad) in a group full of red flowers (mom). He is Chen Tingyu, a 37-year-old stay-at-home father, and his 3.5-year-old daughter. Bunny came to the * * * school group at the age of one and a half. She is playing with her friend Xiaoyu, who is one year older than her. Occasionally, she would run back to her father to drink water and ride a bicycle, and his father would chat freely with other mothers.
However, before joining the study group, Chen Tingyu's life as a single father was absolutely pertinent. As a social worker, he made full preparations for his nanny work, attended a nanny class, and met his wife who works in the media. However, after all, the nanny can't enter the mommy circle, so it is difficult for the novice father to take care of the baby, leave the job and lose contact with all his friends. The pressure of long-term questioning from elders and relatives even made a passerby in the park inadvertently say, "The baby is so small and light!" Can make his self-esteem arrow.
Is it really that serious? When Bunny was almost one year old, she realized that she was like a stay-at-home mother in a local drama. She told her husband that she had just left work and she was not interested, but her wife responded faintly: "Can I have a rest after a day's work?" That night, he collapsed and cried for the first time in his arms. The husband and wife were honest and reunited. In order not to passively accept many foreign "kind" parenting suggestions and become more anxious, my wife took the initiative to help Chen Tingyu find a street running group and a * * * study group for reference. The original intention is to help rabbits find playmates and help dad find friends.
