If you are a parent to a teenage child, then you surely must attest to the fact that raising one is usually not a task for the faint-hearted.
This is because the teen age is a wild time of happiness and chaos in equal measure.
Your child will sometimes throw tantrums, and you will have to learn to live with it or deal with it, because well – your babies are no longer babies, but they are not yet adults either.
Their actions and some of the decisions that they make from the ages of 13 to 19 may test your patience, but sometimes you just have to understand that it is a phase, and your teen child will get over it someday.
Well one person who is currently going through these challenges is celebrated Kenyan actress Catherine Kamau alias Kate Actress.
The multi award-winning actress is infact currently struggling to raise her 18-year-old son by the moniker of Leon Karanja, because of all the drama that comes with him being a teenager.
Well Kate Actress revealed in a recent post that she made on her Facebook account, where she even called out to her fellow parents who are currently facing similar challenges.
“Parents to Teens hamjambo?”
“CAN WE MEET AT KASARANI TUPIGE NDURU, ama kumeflood pia huko? 😭😭😭” Kate Actress asked.
The post by the talented actress elicited massive reactions from netizens, including from some of her fellow parents who also shared the challenges that they face too while raising their teens.
What was clear is that Kate Actress agreed that their challenges are almost similar to hers as shown below.
This however is not the first time that the sassy queen has admitted to be facing challenges when raising Leon Karanja.
Few years ago, Kate Actress made a post on her Instagram account where she admitted that they usually have fights with the 18-year-old.
This is to the extent that he had even blocked her on social media because of how she was involved in his issues.
This was in December 2020, when she posted a photo of herself and her son and accompanied it with a caption saying:
“What is it about firstborn sons 😭. We fight a lot but one thing about us we are inseparable, phil says we are twins, I think we have the same temparament. Happy holidays from us. Also ameni block coz am too nosy 😩”.
