Folly of modern parents splashing millions on their ‘designer’ babies

Last week, a newspaper ran a story about some parents paying as much as Sh3.6 million for their tiny tots to attend kindergarten. Many Kenyans were shocked by this kind of spend for after all, what is this kind of magical teaching that happens in kindergarten? Surely! They said all that tiny ones need at that age is play, maybe spell a little and write a little. What these Kenyans do not know is that expensive spend on kids has become the rage in Kenya and it starts way before kindergarten.

Nowadays, parents who want to show they have arrived in the big league shamelessly use their kids to show off. It starts with the very thought/idea of having a child. Many parents in waiting, feel the urge to tell the whole world about their intention and plans to bring another living creature into this already overcrowded planet.
