Being A Mom Is Tough—Tiwa Savage Shared Insights Into Her Parenting Style

Tiwa Savage—Nigerian singer-songwriter and actress—recently shared insights into her parenting lifestyle about her strict approach and the emotional side of motherhood. She disclosed in an Instagram video that she's a very strict mother—making touch moments with her son, Jamal.

“Last night, I was reminded of one of the hardest things about being a mom: you still have to discipline your child and be strict, even when it breaks your heart. I’m a very, very strict mother. Everyone knows this.” “But last night, I really went off on him. And this is why he melts my heart so much…I woke up and saw that he had quietly come to sleep next to me. I had slept on the couch, and he still came to lie beside me, my baby. I was shouting earlier… ahhh. Yet he still came close, seeking comfort. Being a mother is tough. But it’s also the best feeling in the world,” Tiwa disclosed this in the Instagram video.

Tiwa Savage is trying to balance being a strict mother who disciplines her son with maintaining a loving and emotionally supportive relationship with him. She describes the challenge of enforcing discipline, even when it’s emotionally painful for her, as a necessary part of parenting and motherhood.

Despite yelling at Jamil for misbehaving, she is moved by his affectionate response—quietly seeking comfort by sleeping next to her—highlighting her effort to nurture their deep bond while upholding her strict parenting approach.
