Talent Miki Fujimoto revealed on “Otto ga Neta Ato ni” (After My Husband Falls Asleep) that her eldest son’s rebellious phase is “already in its 5th year,” lamenting, “I do everything for him, and yet…”
On 5ch, reactions were split: some questioned the wisdom of airing family matters on TV at all, others argued that being overbearing is what invites rebellion in the first place, while still others defended the rebellious phase as a necessary step toward independence.
Miki Fujimoto on her eldest son’s rebellious phase, “already year 5”: lets slip her true feelings — “I do everything for him, and yet…”
Talent Miki Fujimoto (41) appeared on TV Asahi’s late-night show “Otto ga Neta Ato ni” (airing Tuesdays at 0:15 a.m.), broadcast on the 25th, where she talked about her eldest son’s rebellious phase.
That day’s episode featured Taichi Shiozaki (25) of the group “M!LK” as a guest, and the two discussed rebellious phases.
Just leave him be.
Only step in when he actually asks for something.

Even when he does ask, unless it's something serious, it should be the dad telling him to try it himself.
Moms, left unchecked, want to do everything for their kids.

He's in ninth grade, right? It'll be over soon.

Apparently for some people the rebellious phase lasts clear until they start working. This one really comes down to personality — or how someone's wired mentally.

Having your mom talk about this stuff on TV must be unbearable for the kid himself.

Having to spam post all by yourself like that… kind of sad, honestly.
26Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 12:50:31.88ID:j3GO3LMa0
Isn't it just because she's using TV to say this kind of thing?
27Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 12:50:36.91ID:IPz1DCmP0
Maybe it's bad precisely BECAUSE she 'does everything for him.' Ignoring him would work better.

If she means she never went through this herself, maybe it's the whole 'kid of a celebrity couple' thing that gets to him.
He's probably getting teased at school with stuff like 'Hey, it's Mikitty's kid!' (Mikitty is Fujimoto's nickname)

If her mindset toward her family is 'I do things FOR them,' the kid's rebellious phase might never end.

Nah, that's just way too overprotective.

Won't he settle down once he gets a job?

Once he lives on his own, he'll quickly realize how much his parents did for him.

Having it aired in public seems like the thing most likely to breed resentment, but a rebellious phase itself isn't some bad thing to begin with.

Exactly, exactly. It's a sign of growing independence. Once he starts high school, just put him in a dorm.

A rebellious phase is basically just another form of leaning on your parents, when you get down to it.
70Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 12:58:28.91ID:lF9nAY4g0
Having his mom broadcast this stuff on TV and social media is annoying — he's probably sick of her for it. She should just stop using her family as material.

A rebellious phase is a necessary process for becoming independent.

It's exactly BECAUSE she goes and says stuff like this on TV, isn't it?

Exactly. From the kid's perspective, it must be unbearable.

This reminds me of my own junior high graduation — my mom linked arms with me for a photo and I snapped, 'Don't touch me, hag!' Sorry about that, looking back. Never thought that would be the last time she'd ever link arms with me again.

Nah, that kind of thing just felt too embarrassing back then — anyone would've reacted the same way at that age.
93Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:02:54.52ID:N+EqQsRs0
Isn't it because she talks about that stuff in public? You'd get mad just having your home life gossiped about around the neighborhood, normally.

Exactly, exactly. Way too inconsiderate. It'd only be fair if her son were also allowed to broadcast what his mom's really like at home to the whole world on social media.
