I see people liked that tweet 😂 Yeah, lots of you would probably hate my dad with your respect for authority mantras. He once came to school in high school, a teacher told him I'll get a D and have no hope in life. He turned around and asked "Ataleta kwako?"
A woman in the market told him we were wearing short stuff and trousers and it's wrong and he went "Mama M umeona nikikwambia vile utalea watoto wako mahali? Shughulika na M aache kupata 200 kwanza." 😂😂😂
Other parents were coming to beat their kids during disciplinary hearings. Mans walks in and hugs you kwanza and asks you if you are okay. Compassionate parenting works - that's what I learned from him.
When I wanted to do engineering, there were tonnes of people who said I wouldn't do it. Some openly telling him a girl can't hack. I'll get pregnant and drop out and he'll have wasted money - story tu za ocha. He made it clear that he'll take everything as it comes.
Told them he'll build a kahouse for me and the baby at the corner of the farm then when I'm ready to go back to school, I go. His parenting style was really out of place in ocha. Anyway, he is that person who will definitely help me hide the body 😂
The most unpopular one: First person to make it clear to me that #menaretrash. And he classifies himself as part of that. He doesn't think men are good people at all. Made it clear that financial autonomy is something I have to hold onto dearly as a woman.
Sent him 2 boxes of masks last year. I'm told he was giving them to people who couldn't afford them - "Ati hauna mask? Mtoto alituma mingi so shika tatu uende nazo." 😂 Sir, you don't have a mask manufacturing plant in the house. You have two boxes that I sent you!
He's also the same guy who has refused to get vaccinated. Ati "ushawahi niona mgonjwa?". I haven't lived with you for 10 years 😂 Of course I don't remember when you were sick 😭 Anyway, I could tell stories all day so let me stop here.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Unfortunately he used smart phone money I sent to plant maize. But I'll show him everything once I fix the one he had initially.
