Tanya Tanyares' Daughter Confronts Father Peck Over Infidelity

Tanya Tanyares reveals her daughter Lya brings up family issues to counsel her mother not to accept a cheating husband, and asks her father Peck Sanchai what he would do if his daughter met such a man, leaving Peck speechless. It shows the daughter is growing up and her thinking maturing. For Tanya Tanyares, who shared moments of being corrected by Lya multiple times about both her and her husband Peck Sanchai's words and behavior, especially regarding his admission of being a womanizer, this made her daughter speak out. Lya sees it as not normal for men to cheat and asks the pointed question: if she one day has a boyfriend who acts like a 'dad' (unfaithful man), would that be okay? Making her father fall completely silent.

Tanya opened up on the Mothership Podcast EP37 when asked whether, as children grow, they turn around and become the ones teaching and grounding both parents.

Tanya revealed: "It happens a lot. Like when Peck and I go live together, the engagement is good so people like watching, and the more Peck talks, the more people like it. But then he becomes someone who speaks crudely. Lya grounds him, asking why he has to speak badly. Why does Mom have to follow along and speak crudely too? Sometimes Dad can't control it, but Mom can control herself. Lya doesn't like it. We say okay, we know the child doesn't like it. Which is true — it's something we shouldn't do, but sometimes we get caught up in the fun with him and don't think much. Then when the child warns us, we realize. Peck himself tones down, but sometimes the habit kicks in again. It's hard to control.

Then there's the issue where Peck admits he's a womanizer. He feels men just have to be womanizers. The child comes to warn that a man being a womanizer isn't normal, it's not something we should accept. Men should love their family and love only one woman, not something they should accept about themselves as if it's good.

It's Peck's truth because what he gives in interviews is his truth. But from the child's view, if we as wives aren't okay with it, we can fight, even hit each other. But who knows, maybe we've been conditioned for a long time, and Lya comes to warn us that Mom shouldn't be conditioned, it's not how things should be, and we shouldn't accept it. So we apologize to our child.

And each interview makes us think more. When they were little we hardly had to think — we just spoke our truth. But once they start growing and having their own thoughts, they see that our family having these problems is embarrassing. That Mom and Dad speaking badly about the family in interviews is embarrassing. Why interview so casually? They think if one day Lya has a boyfriend who acts like Dad, would that be okay? Dad just goes silent. Once they grow up and have thoughts, it's something we can't argue with anymore and we have to adjust."
