Peter okoye and children |
In a new interview with Punch, music star Peter Okoye has shared some of his parenting techniques as well as why he wishes he had his kids much earlier.
See excerpts below:
On wishing he had the kids earlier:
I wish that I had my children earlier; I was with their mum for years
before we got married. I even had them before we got married. If I had
them a long time ago, we would relate more like siblings. If they were
teenagers for instance, they would know that their dad is a celebrity
and can learn certain things on their own.
On his style of parenting: I keep
it young and fresh. People have turned parenting into something else
just like marriage. I still live like a young boy; I don’t want to feel
and act old. I want my kids to look up to me as role model. I am
inspired by the footballer, David Beckham. I want my son tobecome my friend. That is why I said I wish I had my children earlier.
On if fatherhood has restricted him in any way: Everyone
knows that I’m a crazy person on stage. I take off my shirt on stage
and the fact that I am married with kids doesn’t change that. It’s
called showbizness and that is what I do for a living. When I get on
stage, I put aside every other thing and simply enjoy the show.
