Episode 18 recap: Three parents are helping each other to change their children's bad habits.
Several parents are gathered together, discussing the bad habits of their children. Each child has their own unique issues, and the children also have their own thoughts. Although the parents have good intentions for their children, they cannot force them to do things they don't want to do, as it will likely backfire. Soon, Liu Xiang Shang established a group of parents dedicated to changing their children's bad habits.
Chu Yi's problem is that she doesn't like to eat vegetables. So now, the goal is to find different ways to make her eat vegetables in various ways every day. However, Chu Yi still doesn't like them.
Liu Guo Bao has a problem with procrastination, spending a lot of time getting ready for school every day, which often leads to being late. Additionally, he takes a long time to finish his meals. Dai Jing spends her day yelling at Liu Guo Bao to eat quickly, and if he doesn't finish his meal within the designated time, she chooses not to bring him to school.
As a result of their efforts, as soon as the two of them leave, Liu Guo Bao realizes he forgot to wear his hat. Dai Jing has to go back and get it for him, scolding him harshly in the process. Tang Xiao Wei's goal is to engage her son in physical activity. However, when she wakes up in the morning, she finds that Tang Dou is sitting there reading. Tang Xiao Wei tries to persuade him to go out and exercise, but Tang Dou ends up going downstairs to watch the elderly men playing chess. Tang Xiao Wei goes down and takes her son away.
After this period of time, the parents have tried everything they can think of, but they feel helpless when it comes to their children. They don't know what to do, so they start calling each other to exchange ideas. It seems that being gentle is not effective, and everyone is starting to come up with strategies to deal with their children's various problems. Dai Jing purposely doesn't rush Liu Guo Bao in the morning; in fact, she walks even slower than him. Since confronting the children directly doesn't work, they try the opposite approach.
In the morning, Dai Jing intentionally forgets her phone or car keys for a while, ensuring that Liu Guo Bao will be late for class. When the teacher asks Liu Guo Bao about the reason for being late, he blames his mom for always being mischievous. Yang Ming Biao receives a notice from the teacher that Chu Yi is not eating properly at school, yet the snack cabinet is full of snacks. Yang Ming Biao scolds Jing Ting Ting, thinking that she pampers their daughter, which is why she bought so many snacks for Chu Yi to bring to school.
Tang Xiao Wei's task is to take Tang Dou out for exercise every day, but Tang Dou complains of being too tired after just a few movements. In the end, Tang Xiao Wei is left speechless and has to take her son back home to continue reading.
The next morning, Tang Xiao Wei wakes her son up at 6 a.m. to go for a run. Shi Wu is called back home to supervise Chu Yi's meals every day in an effort to help her overcome her picky eating habits. Since Chu Yi likes her older brother, she obediently listens to him even when it comes to eating vegetables that she doesn't like.
To ensure that Liu Guo Bao goes to school on time every day, Liu Xiang Shang asks Tang Xiao Wei to bring Tang Dou over the next morning to wake up Liu Guo Bao. Liu Xiang Shang also mentions that if Tang Xiao Wei is not ready on time, they won't wait for her. Liu Guo Bao has no choice but to quickly get ready. Today, he won't be going to school with them, but if he finishes everything on time, he can join them.
Liu Guo Bao declares that from now on, he will wake up early every morning and stop procrastinating. When Liu Guo Ning's mother catches him playing games, he comes up with a reasonable explanation. He claims that he plays games to hide his studying. If his parents were to find out, they would secretly compete with him. Dai Jing doesn't want to argue with her son, so she tells him that if he can rank in the top 15 of his class during the winter break exams, she will reward him with a new computer. Although it's challenging for Liu Guo Ning, he wants to give it a try for the new computer.
The next morning, Liu Guo Bao wakes up on time and has everything prepared. Chu Yi is no longer picky about her meals because she has her brother's supervision. When the parents gather to exchange their experiences, they realize that their children have made significant progress in correcting their flaws over this period of time, which brings them great joy.
When Shi Wu brings fruits for everyone, she suggests that the parents also work on improving their own bad habits. Liu Xiang Shang, being a robot, happily accepts the suggestion. In the evening, Yang Ming Biao discovers that his son is having a voice call with someone and saying "I love you." Yang Ming Biao suspects that his son is having an early romantic relationship.
The next day, the son goes to school, and Yang Ming Biao initially intends to open his son's computer and check it. However, since he doesn't know the password, he takes it outside to try to unlock it. As expected, he finds chat records inside and discovers that Shi Wu has been having very intimate conversations with someone.
