Stop raising your kids in that middle class bubble!

I recently visited a family friend for lunch at her house. I was shocked at what I saw during my short visit. My friend and her husband both hold senior managerial positions in respectable corporate firms. They live on the right side of Uhuru Highway, have two kids who attend posh schools and the couple can afford most of life’s good pleasures. They fit the description of a typical middle-class family.

My beef with some stay-at-home mums

I have a lot of respect for women who sacrifice their careers to take care of their kids. I think they deserve hats off. But there are some idle busy bodies tainting the name of this noble calling. I will give you a real example.

Why do house girls resign without notice?

What is this now, I wondered. For goodness sake, this is not the kind of drama I need when I am just about to leave for work.

The highs and lows of keeping an expectant house help

Like I have mentioned here before, Petro as we call her, landed in my house after my one of a kind house help Eshe, left for Uganda in August just before elections.

Come on guys, what do you expect when your wife comes home from work at 9pm, checks if everything is OK, checks the kids’ homework, ensures you have your dinner, irons your shirts and by the time she goes to bed, it is 11pm and the next day she is the first to wake up. Can she really have any desire for sex when she goes to bed?”

Of office couples, friends with benefits

In every workplace, there are office couples. These are two colleagues who though married, are romantically involved with each other and it is an open secret.

How much should you spend on your child’s graduation party?

I do not know why, but from the public displays, it seems kindergarten graduations are attracting more pomp, colour and excitement than the rightfully deserving university graduations.

Sex robots for men:a weird fantasy

The dolls are targeted for lonely hearts like widowers and single men who do not know how to make human relations. So far, the creator says the interest in these dolls is encouraging and he cannot meet the demand from different parts of the world, Africa included.

Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp have broken walls and boundaries in ways that are mind-boggling, even the erstwhile non cheaters are realising they have to stand strong, lest they should be swept by the wave of cheating.

Every woman needs a crazy, naughty friend

My friend Wandia is a real free soul. I called her because she is the kind of earthquake I needed to get back my self-confidence. I needed that awakening because my crankiness was trickling down to everybody from hubby to the kids and the cat.

Yes, the G-spot exists and he should know where yours is!

During my days, bridal showers were boring lecture sessions. Some elderly aunt would go on and on about how to be a submissive and loyal wife.
