Actor Kwaku Manu has shared insights into the challenges and triumphs of raising his four children on his own, following his separation and divorce over three years ago.
In an interview with Zionfelix, he candidly spoke about the difficulties of single-handedly parenting without their mother’s involvement.
“It’s not easy to raise kids alone, especially if their mothers are not around,” he stated in an interview with Zionfelix.
Manu highlighted the importance of establishing strict household rules to maintain respect and discipline among his children, which he believes has been crucial in managing their upbringing.
“What makes it easier for me is that there are rules in my home. My kids are not allowed to behave anyhow or disrespect the people that take care of them in my home,” he said.
He stressed that his home operates on principles that prevent his children from misbehaving or disrespecting those who care for them.
Touching on the topic of women leaving their children with their fathers, he expressed his willingness to embrace the responsibility, stating, “If you leave them, I’ll gladly take them in.”
Despite the challenges, Manu described his relationship with his children as one filled with joy and companionship.
“They are my friends, my happiness. We’re always excited to see each other. I spend most of my time with them at home because I’m not the type to go out and chill recklessly. I’m not a careless dad,” he noted.
He considers them his closest friends and derives happiness from the time they spend together at home, emphasizing that he is a dedicated and responsible father who prioritizes his family over a carefree lifestyle.
