‘I was a walking zombie’ Avril talks balancing motherhood and her music career

Motherhood is no joke. In fact, I don’t think there is anything harder than handling a toddler; but I’m told – teenagers are actually worse once they hit puberty and high on unnecessary hormones!

Tbt: Avril with son

Anyway Singer Avril recently held a candid interview with one Ala C; where she opened up about her school life, growing up in Nakuru, music journey and finally – the hardest of them all – Motherhood!

Although many assume motherhood is easy to cope up with; truth is its actually harder than a 9 to 5 routine job. And thanks to Avril’s latest interview; she actually explains this better. Speaking her experience Nyambura said;

Pressure, and stress, You should respect mothers. When my son was a day old its when it hit me that I no longer had a say.

Adding that motherhood needs selflessness saying;

It would always be about him as he now fully depends on me. In the beginning, I was a walking zombie because I could not get enough sleep. Even now I still survive on very little sleep as I also have to chase my dream.

And;

Balancing motherhood and work can be confusing and it’s easy to become depressed as one learns on the job.

Decision to embark on motherhood journey

Although Avril prefers keeping her private life off social media; the singer for the first time shared a little information on why she chose motherhood over her career saying;

(1hr 30sec)

I was very ready to be a mum. I HAD BEEN READY 5 years before I became one.
But I never had someone stable in my life. I wanted someone stable in my life so we take care of the child together. So when the person I am dating came into my life the situation felt right and he also wanted it.’

Singer Avril reveals the main reason you will not be seeing her son’s face anytime soon

Avril Nyambura is among the new celebrity mum’s we have in the entertainment industry. However unlike most mums, the singer prefers to keep her private life on the low.

Early this year someone close to her leaked information about her pregnancy giving many tabloids a reason to ‘meddle’. With this news already out for the public Avril did not deny nor confirm that she was expecting her first child.

As expected she tried hiding her baby bump until the last semester where her bump was too huge to conceal with baggy outfits. Anyway later on she confirmed to have given birth to an adorable baby; but she has since refused to unveil her baby’s face.

Why Avril’s son will remain on the low

Anyway just recently during an interview with Parents Magazine, the singer came out to reveal why her fans will not be seeing her baby anytime soon.

According to Avril, she wants her son ‘M’ to live a simple life without being pushed to unrealistic expectations by his mum’s fans. Avril opened up saying;

 

“I want M to have a simple life, without the pressure of being compared to or being set for unrealistic expectations because he is my son. When he is old enough and chooses the public light for himself, then that’s okay. Until then it’s a no for me,”

This comes after Avril told Parent’s Magazine that so far she has refused big endorsements aiming to use her son as a brand ambassador!
