After 8 years watoto wanaaza kukuja nyumbani 3 times per year. After another 10 years wana disappear and only come home once a year. Empty Nest syndrome inakuchapa as you occupy just 3 rooms (SITTING ROOM, KITCHEN, BEDROOM), Sometime later unaaza ku occupy room moja peke yake, Bedroom na choo yake.
Watoto wanaenda Majuu watarudi tu Mazishi yako and later sell it.

Kuna kitu inaitwa consumerism and it is the heart of Capitalism. You will be bombarded with adverts left, tight and center of things that you don’t need. The ads are colorful and have good wording. You will buy shit that you will never use. iPhone, Google Pixel model every year yet the only difference ni GB kadhaa or an extra camera. New Sound Bar yet ile uko nayo bado iko sawa.
You are fucked for life. Hata ununue 2025 G-Wagon hautatosheka nayo, you will want a new Bugatti.
Hao sasa ndio wako na shida kubwa saidi hiyo @wasiwasi amesema ya Consumerism. Pharmacy na Chemist za Sodom ni kubwa kuliko Supermarkets mingi Kenya. Wameuziwa kila kitu hadi Medications. Pharmaceutical companies buy TV time ya 30 Minutes ku advertise dawa mpya
My neighbour, my house then his, ni jamaa anaelekea retire, ni Mwanajeshi.. mutu senior. Amejenga keja biggy, huwa imepita yangu kwa width na urefu kiasi (ameweka mabati yangu ni flat roof), aliimaliza mos mos tu na akaanza kushika vitu mpya kwanzia viti na kadhalika, akona watoto wakubwa.. (last month mdem ameletewa mahari pale) sasa nilikuwa najiuliza amejenga hio keja biggy yes, na anakam ku stay na bibi tu. Nkaona huo ni mchezo wa ajab. Ukivuka barabara kitu kama 200M away kwa hio line tuko kuna mwingine mkisii amejenga nyumba kubwa saidi ya my neighbour, pia yeye ako past 50s, akona watoto wawili, alafu kuna mwingine pia amejenga keja inakaa hosi… (hata kama ni dream house jameni) nitawajenga mbisha ikiwezekana…
Na most wanajenga hio nyumba watoto wakiwa 8-13 years, wanakaa only 2 years ndio hao university, jenga 2 bedroom, then single rooms hapo nje especialy for vipiis, wakienda bomoa ama fanya store
Thinking about it, my dad built a four bedroom house on over an acre of land. Tangu niende college, I doubt if I have been on the property for a cumulative 3 months over the last 25 years. This year nimeenda huko for less than 30 minutes na sioni kama nitaenda huko tena by December juu niko busy sana.
Nyumba kubwa jenga if you’re still a bachelor so that after marriage, your wife and kids can enjoy it for much longer. They can have their friends over, their cousins etc. Children who grow up in a big house have a very happy childhood. So your kids will enjoy the house from age 0 - 18. Those are good memories.
Shida inakuanga with these guys who make money when their kids are already adults na bado wanajenga keja kubwa that nobody lives in. Hapo ndio shida iko.
All in all, I don’t even think the problem is building a big house but doing so in the wrong location. If you build a big house in Tigoni, you can always rent it out to some expat or big corporate employee and make good money.
Lakini nyumba kubwa kule kwa akina @Yuletapeli if your kids are grownup ni kutupa pesa.
Mansions ni za childless men kama mimi. Nikipata watoto, they’ll enjoy it to the maximum.
Nimeambia watu kadhaa hii but si unajua our dreams have been hijacked by Western ideals.
On tv, they have 5 bedrooms all with bathrooms and an inbuilt garage and multiple floors so unapata wakenya wanaforce such things.
Pesa zinaisha, nyumba inakwama na watu wanaishi only half the house na bado wanatoshea vizuri. Unabaki unashangaa why the extra room?
Ukiweka housegirl huko mbali, how will she rape your boys and turn them into men (prostitute mongers who have unhealthy relationships with all women and dodge pregnancies)?
