Nigerian filmmaker and actress Mary Njoku is yet to figure out how to parent her three kids.
The wife of the Iroko TV boss, via her Instagram page, revealed that she can’t sleep as she ponders how her mother was able to raise eight kids and stayed sane. Meanwhile, she is finding it difficult and already losing it with just three kids.
“Who’s awake?
Can’t sleep.
Thinking about how my mum raised eight kids and stayed sane.
Meanwhile, I’m losing it with just three”.
This isn’t the first time, Mary is sharing her parenting struggles. Last year, Mary revealed that atimes she feels she is nailing parenting, and the next, she wonders how they got there. The mother of three described parenting as a real jungle as she noted how one has to expect the unexpected. Mary further stated that the love a mother has for her child has to be agape as she lamented over how her kids are testing her patience.
Recently, Mary shared a hilarious conversation between her and one of her daughters, who trolled her for not enjoying fancy things during her youthful days. Mary further revealed that her kids call her old when she isn’t even 40.
Early last year, Njoku avowed that a mother shouldn’t be compelled to have a different name from her underaged kids, except she is allowed to change their names too. She noted how one cannot build a name for many years and be asked to change it because someone doesn’t want a divorce.
In 2023, Mary advised men on the importance of mothers to their children, as she noted how many men want their children to be brilliant, yet they treat their wives as a lamb. The filmmaker pointed out how a fowl can’t raise a tiger, indirectly telling men that a gentle wife and mother can’t raise kids to be like tigers.
