The role of a woman maybe underrated and termed as simple by somebody who has never done them.

 

Doing the house chores might also seem so easy until you undertake them yourself. This is the experience of one netizen who shared his story online.

 

As narrated by the man, his wife seemed tired with her kids and he therefore gave her an off on a Saturday to go and visit her parents.

 

“So,ni wapi unaweza enda on a budget for 3 days?”,I wanted to know. She needed a break. That I could see. Ushago. Wacha pia Mimi niende nitembelee mamangu kidogo. I agreed. She left on a Saturday,”the man narrated

 

Since it was a weekend, the man had no headache dealing with the kids. Had lunch and dinner outs only for an unexpected truth of how dealing with his own kids likens to a hard nut dawned on him.

 

“That weekend,I took the kids on a drive. My small people walijibamba. They were ecstatic.”

 

On this particular Monday, the man had one of the roughest moments of his life. His nursery toddler had his shoes lost. The 9 year old had not finished her assignment, the youngest wanted her mum and was wailing at the top of her voice. Tea he was preparing also became so stubborn. Everything was just a simple mess.

 

It was on this day that he discovered his talent in shouting.

 

“Come Monday,a school day,Kizaa zaa kilianza hapo. Pandemonium. When I woke up to prepare them for school,the two year old Toddler woke up with us too.”Mom iko,mom iko?”,She wanted to know were her mom was. I explained Mom anakuja. Mimi nataka mom. Daddy,Mimi nataka mom”, she insisted. I told her,” Mamaa,she is named after my mom,tutaenda kuchukua mom hawa wakienda shule”. Her response,She started wailing. Daddy,kiatu yangu ikoo”, my 5yr old boy wanted to know.” Kwani tunavaa na wewe. Tafuta kwenye uliweka”,I replied. He sat down and looked at me.”Na wewe unafanya nini sasa”, I asked my eldest daughter. She is 9 and was writing something in her books. “Namalizia homework. Nilisahau kumaliza. Daddy njoo unisaidie. Huyo mwalimu ni mkali”,she said. I started feeling some type of bad way. My daughter is in my legs still asking where the heck her momma was. At one point I shouted sijui. Makosaaa. She increased her wailing volume. You can’t achieve a lot when she is wailing and you are her father.My son was still in the same spot looking at me. Unbothered. Not even looking for his lost shoe.”Wajua utaenda shule na crocs”, I shouted for the first time that morning. It felt good. It got him up to action. And he started pretending to look for his shoe. At that same moment,maziwa I was boiling ikaanza ile ujinga ya maziwa. Ikamwagika. Sheeeenziiii kama mia nikasema.” Kila mtu awache kitu anafanya saa hii na asikize”,I said. “Kila mtu ajitayarishe in 5 mins”
With all the hard time he went through, the man had no option but call her wife and beg her to come back home. Well, she came back on Tuesday. Interestingly, the man gave his kids an off on Tuesday not to go through what he went through the previous day.

“On Tuesday, I gave the kids off from school. Yes, hawakuenda shule. I begged their mom over the phone to come back or the kids would stay at home the whole week”

 

Ever since, he says he learnt to wake up with kids having only one statement to say:

“Wacha wanawake wapewe heshima yao….”
