#quality what is the average price for a pair? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Go to Avilas. Buy one set of medium thickness Cotton Socks (5-800 bob). Then carry that whenever you go to buy new socks. On a separate note, your "man" should be able to dress himself. What is he, like 7 years old? My own kids tell me when they've outgrown their clothes / or they are worn out.

It is the role of a good wife to dress her man otherwise aibu ni kwake.Remember when the wife of the late Michuki apologised for the torn socks? Hutia Mundu!!

Kila mtu hufunga Punda yake pahali anapenda. Who talked of dressing him?We are talking of socks and managing them.Obviously he will not wash his socks when am around neither will he look for them in the house.That remains my duty and I happily perform it.And what is wrong with me dressing him if I want to? Or if he wants to? Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

@Jmbada, Just the other day, Mrs Kidero was on telly apologizing to Kenyans when his hubby was caught by cameras in torn socks. This had happened to Michuki before and i also remember Baba was caught in torn shoes and Mama Ida was apologetic. None was seven years! I was informed long time ago and i hold this true, that the man was made to see the bigger picture while the woman sees details. You realize that while driving along a road,your wife sees things that you do not note (A beautiful girl by the roadside) while you see things your wife does not note (a bump). It is by design. In the same breadth, she is more likely to see a hole on your shirt and you are more likely to note an undeveloped plot along Thika road. BTW, is there a man who can explain where his old clothes disappear to? Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

I'm sorry to say then you do not have a wife... I myself I do a lot of stuff for my wife, and she does a lot for me... What is the problem? You even wait until your kids tell you their clothes are too small? Bana... surprise them boss!

I use both Bata and Tuskys (Please notice you will get both the poor quality and good quality at Tuskys. Depends on your taste and budget) Actually I have noted not many people can tell a quality socks from a poor one. The one you think is is of good quality may actually be the poor quality.

Here is my challenge
1.One side of a pair will somehow get lost.Have tried buying many of the same colour but haisidii.Somewhere along the way moja itapotea.
2.After washing the soles become rough and pale.Have tried different soaps but no change.If I use a machine they become loose on the edges.
Tafadhali before nirudishwe kwetu saidieni.
I do not know what kind of roughness or paleness but get this, it may actually not be as a result of washing. The sole of the socks is where all the pressure is. This is the place that gets all the body weight pressure, heat, friction and sweat. Take any socks after wearing a few times and examine them carefully, the sole will always be different, either in colour or otherwise. It is not your fault. Its just evidence that someone has used them. Of course poor quality ones will change faster.

Is that house an hostel with a restaurant downstairs? If you want that marriage to last, make changes now before it becomes too late. A weak man can't handle a real woman, so he goes for the weaker females who won't question his character and just accepts what he gives! Sisi tumelea watoto karibu wanatuondokea... I guess you've just started... Listen now to wazees, else soon you'll be shocked...
