The first association when Sead Sadiković is mentioned is the TV Vijesti show "Bez granica". However, this witty journalist with a sharp mind is first and foremost a father and says: "I am proud of my sons".
He has two sons - Amar is 14 years old, and Seid turns 13 in February. When asked how much the role of a father has changed him, he answers: "How do I know? In the photos, I can see that my beard is white, but it wasn't before. However, when I think about it a bit, I can hardly give a particularly interesting answer. The answer, he says, is "I guess, in responsibility", and it was tacitly accepted by his husband Seada.
"Her role is the main one and I think that's normal. I'm just here for logistics. I could only add that it is important to me if my sons are proud of their grandmother, as they call me. If there is a reason. I am proud of them. Their mustaches are starting to grow," says Sead.
When it comes to the fears he has as a father, he says he is afraid that his sons take life too seriously. "That is their big flaw. I'm afraid that society has imposed on them existential problems and moral dilemmas that conflict in their heads".
He believes that this is the problem of all young people in Montenegro. "How did he get so much? How come you don't need to study to be successful? These are logical questions for them. I'm afraid the way out is to leave. To leave Montenegro".
When we asked him what he was teaching his children, he said: “Me to teach them? Life teaches them. I only supervise their studies sometimes. I have no illusions that I can be a better teacher than the school of life". He states that he assigns reading to the children in "I often see that they consider our readings to be old-fashioned. You know what: learn, believe, respect... I'm happy when some of them, even such outdated ones, are still accepted. Although I know that they would rather quickly 'Google' them on the Internet".
Then, as he states, he also learns something. “Hurry up. On Internet". Regarding whether there should be a difference in the education of boys and girls, he says that he would, but unfortunately he does not have a daughter. "I'm sorry that we don't have any, although I know that her upbringing would be much more problematic".
He points out that men are rough, so they can be comforted and directed more easily, sometimes even by the ears. "Well, that's my task given to me by my wife, in addition to logistics. Still, I don't use that rough or rope too much for now. But they have to know that when I burn and go crazy, it's not good for them".
When it comes to the most difficult period of growing up children, Sead says that each subsequent period is the most difficult. "When the hardest ones pass, they become the easiest. That's how the most difficult periods are also the most beautiful. Now let me tell you how bad it was when we didn't have money for diapers and porridge? It was the most beautiful then. Only tomorrow will be more beautiful".
Does he spend enough time with his children in addition to his professional duties? “Too much. To the trouble! That's what they'll tell you if you ask them. And I think I hardly see them. I'm afraid that my gray beard doesn't go too well with their moustaches, which are starting to grow, which I already mentioned".
He tells how luckily for him, he combines his love for the sea, nature and wandering in the woods and by rivers and lakes. "Pizza brings us together, margaritas for me, and capricciosa for them, and fish stew and barbecue near Bistrica". Sead says that they also have in common that they don't like peas, but they like Branko Ćopić.
"Now, it's true, we read different books, and it's true, quite a few. The only thing I can't understand is why they don't let me go with him to the corso so that they can watch the girls and I watch the aunts. They say they are not interested in it, and I say they are lying to me! I don't like being lied to," Sead says with a laugh.
Hunting for the sun, so advice!
Asked to share some advice with other fathers, he says: "Hey, you found me! Am I giving useless advice? Let them contact me, I teach classes together with children. It is not expensive. Marketing, bro! Hunting! I'm hunting for the sun, so advice!”. He learned something from his sons, he says wittily.
