Hey @Wendz from the several occasion I met the guy he seems like he can maintain the kid since he owns a good taxi business he even come ask for my car when he has a lot of work and he has given out his, he even attends some functions at home he even came home and talked to dad, I wasnt around so I couldnt attend to say he is responsible etc, he even made my sis move to a bigger better house and he paid rent not sure if he still does, coz my sis called me today that her rent hasnt been paid

I guess sittin him down would be appropirate thanks Wendz
@Ray im not stressing her at all infact she is the one who just called me to ask for help. @Bweyenye thats my fear. im already overstretched.

...I am learning not to compare situations...your two sisters are very different.

in the womb, the kid hears what is going around, treat your sister right, this is the time to love her more, it will greatly help her not to judge all men if she has a problem with the taxi guy...and your mum,she needs you more.

a sense of responsibility...respect.

Hope for the best, but also work with a worst case scenario too. There are two women, and two kids coming. Only one dude. What would be the worst case scenario? @Brav, I've experienced that first hand with my sister. Sadly, the worst case scenario happened, dude vamoozed. So yeah, plan to talk to the guy, find out what's up, but also be prepared for any eventualities, whether positive or negative. Just be there for your sister come what may.

Sisters can stress Jamaas to no end. My experience is that they will love sometimes just the wrong guy, you can see it from 10 miles off but they are in love and no amount of talking to will change them. Even when there are two women involved, no amount of sense will help. The inevitable heartbreak will happen - when both women get to know about each other - but by then it is too late.

My advice is to go easy on the sister, she will come to see things clearly at some point but for now, she wont listen to you at all. As for the guy, you may need a man to man discussion.

What had they agreed when she told him she was pregnant? May be you are jumping gun... find out from the parties. Can the guy maintain a child in the first place? As in, is he financially stable? Did your sister get into it knowingly or did he "lie" to her that there was no one else in his life?

if you have been seeing the guy as "one of you guys", why not sit him down and ask him categorically what's cutting? hear his side of the story. You have not mentioned that the guy has scattered, may be he has no intention to scatter... Be sure there is actually a problem before you start solving it....


@wendz...Even if he has no intentions of scattering, the very fact that he has been poking all over and making other young girls pregnant makes him a good-for-nothing moron. Giving out your sister to such kinda fella is inviting the devil for ever in your homestead...

Everybody seems to be for a man to man discussion. But i choose to differ. My worry is how will the discussion go @brav, i am afraid that you may get insulted in the process, officially this guy doesn't know you.if there was a marriage (atleast customary) then i would have adviced you to send your elders to their elder.(or isn't that the purpose of families meeting?) So for now compose yourself and have a talk with siz, request her to find out if she can get help from the guy and her standing with this guy. Make this easy on yourself and act from the background. N/b this is a common problem, however respect for your concern

Be firm when dealing with the guy..if possible pull in a third party, you might need to take action on him later. This things happen dude!

Pole sana @brav. As you say, you are overstretched and the economy is not getting any better. bravlets will soon require (more) school fees etc. so your fears are definitely justified.

Have a discussion with your siz who should talk to the guy and establish what the plan is. Also see how you can improve your siz's business both financially and in terms of ideas. If her business picks up, you have already solved the financial problem. I am a big fan of giving people fishing rods and teaching them how to fish as opposed to giving them fish!

As most here are advising, be easy on your sister. However this turns out, focus on how she can succeed and improve herself. Even if the dude bails, it is not the end of the world! With a proper family structure, you should get through this just fine. Challenges will be there, like with everything else in life, but with a proper plan everything will be okay.
