Parenting Chronicles

Last week my little human brought home a piece of paper.An invite to a birthday party, handwritten with different colors.I remember thinking that must have been a lot of work for the writer.Veey good English by the way, punctuation and all.This invite had instructions,to enter one had to go with the "invite card" the handwritten one .They also had to go with a gift for the birthday girl.Huko kwa committee they also decided to dress well and look good for the birthday.Today was the birthday,hakuna kuchoma,I made sure hair looked good and there was a gift.What was left was for my human to dress and show up. I was home before she left ,she picks an outfit and I go😳😳😳😳😳.She asks what's wrong and I ask ,do you want to go like that? She said yes and then added "I look very stylish" Me:What do I know🤷🤷Na sio Mimi naenda birthday.Mimi I come from a generation where a birthday or any event meant dressing a certain way.Hawa wako na style Yao na nikama sielewi kapsaa.I took pictures,she left and I went somewhere.I get home this evening and I ask her how the birthday went. She says it was not fun.I didn't think I heard her so I asked again she said it wasn't fun at all. Well as it turns out they had cake, several snacks and sodas.There was also extra cake for people who came with gifts.Now I am totally lost,so I ask what wasn't fun.She says there was no music and they didn't relax one bit."There was no joy and no fun".Me 😳😳🙆🙆🙆🤦🤦🤦🤦🤔🤔🤔🤷🤷🤷.Yani snacks and sugar rush isn't fun anymore?Like hata cake pekee yake sio fun? Thanks to Kenya power she can't see my face because my facial expressions are going wild.Woi mama nani who broke the bank to host tiny people.Probably spent the whole morning cleaning and getting enough glasses to host her kids friend's Chei🙆🙆🙆. Halafu the kids in this place I know them..So stauliza kama walimwambia because I know they did.This generation Yani..Before I said anything she said"I told mama nani thank you, She was very kind and gave me water when I asked.," Probably this woman didn't know what they wanted and they didn't ask.Personally I also wouldn't put music because many tiny people dancing is chaotic.Add music to sugar rush and you will never host children again.Well I hope this generation carries their audacity to adulthood because they will need it.

#intentionalparenting

I have loved so deeply,yet I never felt that kind of purity in those that showed me love

I cared so intensely,yet never felt safe to long enough not to care for myself

I honored those that deserved and yet never walked in my own honor

I held on to keep the peace,yet I always walk in eggshells not to disturb their peace

I gave my heart to the course of being human, yet I haven't been one myself

I have healed broken hearts,yet I walk around as a human humpty Dumpty

I am a good listener,yet I can hear the echo when I speak for no one listens

Everything I had to overcome I did, yet I can heart and fwdDxrq mythem taking credit for it all
