Popular Nigerian filmmaker and actress Mary Njoku has shared her struggles with parenting, revealing that raising just three children has been overwhelming for her.
Taking to Instagram, the wife of the Iroko TV boss admitted that she lay awake at night, wondering how her mother managed to raise eight children while staying sane.
“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 Njoku has spoken about the challenges of motherhood. Last year, she confessed that she feels like she’s nailing parenting some days, but on other days, she questions everything.
She described parenting as a real jungle, emphasizing the need to expect the unexpected.
According to her, a mother’s love for her children must be unconditional, as kids often test her patience in ways she never imagined.
Her candid revelation has resonated with many mothers, sparking conversations about the realities of modern-day parenting.
