used to be the butt of jokes and snide remarks in family meetings due to my financial position despite my credentials (The ‘amesoma na hana kitu’ type). my grinding paid off and for the last 5 years, i have blocked nearly every relative on all avenues (phone, whatsapp, social media)…ofkoz wazazi wanaget chapaa zao each month but we rarely talk(they used to strongly praise my younger siblings for working hard and ‘overtaking’ me). i have never heard of anything about any single relative(but i wave at them when i drive past!). i enjoy my alone lifestyle so much at times i wonder if maybe am on the extreme, on matters concerning family relations.
Mother father bros sis usikosane nao over small things like pride , nyenyekea usamehe .
You and your wife might die , imagine who will take care of your small kids
Ensure that you maintain a good relationship with your family more specifically parents and siblings. There are ups and downs in this life and unfortunately you may lack some other day.
Mimi watu natambua through thick and thin ni familia.
hao wengine extended family waextend na huko wakikauka, so full of pride those people …
Money comes and goes family is all we got look at it from this perspective you got the inspiration you needed to get what you got.
Extended family is a scam
Mla nawe hafi nawe, ila mzaliwa nawe. Na masikini ukipata, chunga matako isilie mbwata.
If you can visit your parents today.
Icheki hivi, those remarks zilikusinya zika contribute kukupa mioto ya ku work hard ukawa na kakitu leo.Tafakari hayo halafu ufanyie maparo shopping ya nguvu.
Make amends with your parents since they are your second god’s. Establish a good but a respectable relationship with your siblings. Never bear grudges. Don’t allow anyone to exploit you!
People eat together and laugh with others who’ve backstabbed them. They just keep the relationships shallow/transactional. As for the nuclear family, don’t wait till your sick for you to know their value. Family is ride or die and no man is an island.
giving your parents money is one thing. seeing them and spending time with them is another. do the latter.
