Serena Williams knows how to manage tricky situations both on and off the tennis court. Whether it’s handling an opponent with ease or dealing with her 5-year-old daughter’s wishes and tantrums all at once, she does so seamlessly. The 41-year-old American tennis legend and her husband have welcomed a second baby girl into the family. But a few weeks prior to her birth, Olympia, the older sister, was asked to make a big sister sacrifice for her younger sister.
In spite of her willingness to make a significant sacrifice, she managed to throw a temper tantrum in front of her mother, revealing her genuine emotions. Let’s look at the interaction between the former tennis legend and her daughter as she was attempting to control her outbursts.
Recently, the 23-time Grand Slam champion shared a video on her YouTube channel where she talked about decorating baby Adira’s room. But in that video, there were moments when her five-year-old daughter was unhappy with the room her younger sibling was getting. The room that Baby Adira was getting, previously was Olympia’s playroom. But with things changing, she pulled off an angry fit, showcasing her disapproval.
Nevertheless, in the video, the 41-year-old first revealed how her 5-year-old is not happy with the playroom going to her sister, and yet she made that sacrifice. But after that, she stopped her mother from entering her daughter’s room and said, “You can’t go here.” Further, Williams handled the situation quietly and replied, “Am I not supposed to be in your room? I’ve been kicked out a bit places.”
Just after that, when the former World Number one was making some arrangements in the new nursery, Olympia barged in and pulled off a tantrum by throwing things here and there. All the while, her mother kept on saying, “Hi ma’am, how may I help you, ma’am? Excuse me, excuse me.”
Even though she tried hard to show her angry side to her mother, in the end, she had to make that sacrifice, and nothing changed. Now, this is not the first time the American tennis legend shared a little sneak peek of her daughter’s tantrums. Last year, she also shared her priceless epiphany, as she shared her struggle trying to handle her daughter’s endearing impatience.
Last year, the 41-year-old American legend took to her Twitter account to share her experience of motherhood. One thing was clear from her humorous take on the situation. Even though she has faced a lot of difficulties on the court, being a mother is probably the hardest job to handle.
Williams shared, “When you are a mom I’m convinced you gotta learn how to poop faster- or else your name is being yelled over and over again… 30 seconds or less. Thoughts?” Although last year it was only one demanding daughter, now that that Serena and Alexis have welcomed their second daughter, things might get a little tough and memorable for them at the same time. What do you think?
