Avril opens about balancing work and being a mother: It’s teaching me a love that I never knew existed

Singer Avril was recently blessed by a son and she vowed she wouldn’t tell Kenyans who the father was. Many speculated that the father of the son was music producer Jblessing but both of them have totally refused to speak about it.

In a recent interview with Kiss 100, the singer shared how having a baby has changed her life. She’s now a mother and has to balance between work and the baby.

“Motherhood has it’s trials, especially for a new mum right at the beginning when it hasn’t quite hit you that this is your life now; but it’s the most rewarding chapter of my life that I have ever found myself in. It’s teaching me a  love that I never knew existed, patience that has brought me so much peace,” she said. 

Tired

Avril also added that she’s lucky that she’s self employed and can steal a few days to be with her son but trips out of town usually leave her emotional.

“The fatigue at the beginning weighed me and I’ll admit got me a bit loopy, but once I got a hang of things I started being a very happy tired person,” she said.

Adding:

“Later I think the greatest challenge started being striking that balance as a working mother. I am fortunate to be self employed so I spend a lot time with my son, but there comes a time when I need to travel for a couple; that’s usually pretty hard for me especially emotionally. The first time was the worst.”
