I tried writing common parenting article intros in the style of 10 famous authors

This was a discovery.

Even the intros to parenting articles
that I should be used to seeing,

when I actually try to write
a template-like sentence myself, it surprisingly
doesn't go well.

This time, I used AI to reconstruct
the beginnings of common parenting articles in the style of famous authors.

子育ては、うまく行かないことが多い。

今日も、ささいなことで強く叱ってしまった。

言いすぎたと後悔しつつも、
あのときは必要な言葉だったと思ってしまう。

When the writing style changes,
even with the same content, the temperature, the weight, and
the way it is read also change.

Conversely, looking at that
also reveals clues for avoiding
cliché intros.

That said, I would be happy if you could enjoy this
as entertainment, like comparing voice impressions.

1. Haruki Murakami Style

Good grief, I sighed.

Raising a child is
a series of things that just never go as planned.

This afternoon, too, over something truly trivial,
I raised my voice more than necessary.

I try to tell myself that it couldn't be helped,
while drinking cold coffee.
I try to convince myself.

However, deep in my chest, a regret
like a small thorn remained, lingering.

2. Miyuki Miyabe Style

After the shouting echoed through the living room,
it became unnaturally quiet.

Holding onto feelings that had nowhere to go,
I kept breathing heavily.

It was just a small thing.

My head already understood that
it wasn't worth scolding them that harshly.

Even so, in that moment,
I had no choice but to lash out with those harsh words.

3. Kanae Minato Style

It was not a story that could be swallowed in a single word.

The cold words I directed at that time
must have surely left a small mark on that child's heart.

It is not that I do not regret it.

Rather, every time I remember it,
my stomach churns.

Even so, if I were asked whether I could have
avoided saying that at that moment,
I would probably fall silent.

4. Riku Onda Style

At that moment,
I felt the air tighten just a little.

The strong voice that came from my own mouth
sounded like it belonged to someone else.

"I've done it again," I think.

In the endless time that is raising a child,
I stop in the same place over and over again.

Even though the pain remains deep in my chest,
I still feel as though those words
could not have been avoided in that moment.

5. Maha Harada Style

In parenting, the colors you want
don't always go on as expected.

Today, too, I let my frustration
turn directly into words.

It was only a small misunderstanding, but
why did I have to say it
so harshly?

I have regrets.

Even so, I couldn't just let it slide
without saying anything in that moment.

I am still standing here, unable to paint it well.

6. Mizuki Tsujimura Style

I should have already known
that I could never be the ideal parent.

Even so, every time such a
harsh voice comes out of my own mouth, I hate myself for it.

It was just a small thing, yet
I ended up speaking in a way that
cornered my child more than necessary.

I think I said too much.

But at that moment, I also feel like
I couldn't have stopped myself otherwise.

7. Hiro Arikawa Style

By the time I realized, "Oh, I said too much,"
it was already too late.

Raising children is truly difficult.

To get angry like that over such a trivial thing,
I think even I am being childish.

I am properly reflecting on it.

I am reflecting, but if I hadn't said anything at that moment,
I feel like that would have been different, too.

That is why it lingers even more afterward.

8. Kiyoshi Shigematsu Style

Every time I sigh,
I feel like I am diminishing little by little.

Parenting is a accumulation of regrets.

Today, too, over just a small thing,
I raised my voice.

That child's face won't leave my mind.

I'm sorry, I think in my heart over and over.

Even so, at that time,
I tell myself, while still being clumsy,
that I had no choice but to say it that way.

9. Natsuo Kirino Style

Just because you are a parent,
it does not mean you can always remain calm.

While listening to my own shouting voice,
echoing through the room,
I felt strangely detached.

It should not have been a big deal.

And yet, I,
blamed them more harshly than necessary.

That guilt certainly remains.

However, I think the words from that time,
in order to break that suffocating time,
simply had to come out of my mouth.

10. Kaori Ekuni Style

In the room after scolding the child,
there is always a slightly cold air left behind.

I poured water into a glass and
drank it slowly.

I feel terribly pathetic for
having raised my voice
over such a trivial matter.

However, at that time, I felt that
only those words could reach them.

Only that feeling remains quietly.

Impressions

Thoughts, events, and feelings.

The structure of the original text itself is quite simple.

However, because there is more emotionthan in the previous side-hustle article,the same event starts to look
like a completely different story depending on the author.

• For some, it becomes a story about guilt,

• For others, it becomes a story about self-justification,

• Some people talk about the bitterness of the role of a parent.

It is interesting how the difference in writing style emerges as a difference in the story itself.
Even things that seem monotonous when written every day change the pain you see when the expression changes.

Even things that seem monotonous when written every day,
the pain you see changes when the expression changes.

I think writing style is not about the difference in word choice,
but about the difference in what you choose to make hurt.
