Actress Adunni Ade has explained how she maintains her demanding career alongside her parenting responsibilities.
Ade emphasised the necessity for balance in a recent interview with Hip TV Trending, stating that she prioritises her kids’ needs over her career aspirations.
“Balancing your life is something you have to do as a parent, there is no thinking. You have to be able to provide and cater to your children as a parent no matter what industry you find yourself in. Whether you’re a doctor or an actor or an architect…you just have to find that balance”, she said.
Ade stressed that her career is important, but her children always come first.
According to her, she carefully schedules projects to ensure she attends significant school events and that she is present for her kids.
“My kids will always come first so I’m very careful with how I schedule projects. I do not miss anything that has to do with their schooling; if it’s an open day, visiting day, a program, or even inter-house sports, I will be there. My kids will always have that attention from me to be present and when it comes to work, work will attend to itself,” said the actress.
Offering advice to struggling parents, Ade suggested considering boarding school or relying on trusted family members or individuals for short-term support.
She cautioned against neglecting children’s needs, emphasising the importance of being present and attentive.
“I took my kids to boarding school, that’s something you can consider or have good really family members or trusted persons that can be there for the short time you’re away for work, but never neglect your kids”, she added.
