It has never been and will never be rosy when you raise your child or children as a single parent.

You can have all the wealth, all the fame…everything! but without a second parent, the kid does not grow up the same way.

Nairobi Diaries actress, Bridget Achieng opened up on motherhood away from the gram and it is hectic, if anything.

During her interview with Radio Jambo´s Massawe Japanni, the mother to a handsome prince opened up:

We can sit here and lie. Sometimes my friends visit and my son wants to go with them. I can never be his father. And that is why at some point I break down.

The mompreneur however opened doors welcoming her baby daddy back, if not for anything, just for their son´s upbringing.

If his father decided to come back and take care of the kids I will appreciate.

Speaking of her baby daddy, Sekani´s father, they parted ways because her mental health was at stake and it still affects her perception of ´love´ till date.

He (her baby daddy) messed me mentally and even when a man tells me he loves me nowadays I do not believe it. Only time will tell.

However, the bond remains and the blood still flows so her baby daddy remains the father to her child, despite the distance.

Hatujaachana because he will always be the father to my son. He left social media because he was badly trolled for how he treated me. Our paths were just different.

Flashback

Regarding her ability to sire children, it took Bridget a good 5 years of trying to get pregnant, to an extent it got her worried.

But who is mightier than God because she eventually sired a child and blessed her mum with a grandchild.

By 29 I had no kids so I started asking myself ´29 is here, I have no baby and my mum also wants a grand kid, what do I do?´Before I learnt I was pregnant, I started feeling funny, I took three pregnancy tests and they all turned out positive. I then decided to go to a hospital and got the confirmation that I was one month pregnant. I looked for a baby for five years. I tried getting one with my first boyfriend but it didn´t work.
