Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has recently shared her approach to balancing the demands of her career with her responsibilities as a parent.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Ade discussed her strategy for managing her busy career alongside her duties as a mother. She emphasized that balancing these aspects of her life is essential and requires careful planning.
“Balancing your life is something you have to do as a parent; there’s no overthinking it. You need to provide and cater to your children regardless of your profession, whether you’re a doctor, an actor, or an architect. Finding that balance is crucial,” she explained.
Adunni Ade highlighted that, while her career is important, her children always come first. She meticulously schedules her work commitments to ensure she does not miss important events related to her children’s education. “My kids will always come first, so I am very cautious about how I arrange my projects. I make sure to attend all their school events, from open days to visiting days, and even inter-house sports. My children receive my full attention, and work will handle itself,” she said.
When asked for advice for other parents struggling with this balance, Ade suggested considering alternatives such as boarding school for the children or relying on trusted family members to support during work commitments. “I opted to send my kids to boarding school, which is one option. Alternatively, having reliable family members or trusted individuals to care for your children while you’re away can help. However, it’s vital never to neglect your kids,” she advised.
