This post reminds me so much of the last 10 days where i have had to attend to two prize giving ceremonies for my daughters and an academic day for my son.At some point i thought i would fall down with fatigue but looking back at it,i thank God for those beautiful souls.On Saturday evening i found a neatly folded card on my bed and guess what?it was a father's day card from my love and our "clan".....Do i tell my wife and the kids i love them?.Yes i do but then i am feeling a little guilty coz i am not sure i do it as frequently as i should.

@Sheep,
Just like Mukiha,i really doubt you have children you call your own.I am sorry if i am wrong but get it right.Learning does not stop with the teacher and home-work need not mean books.I say so coz,the kids have been sent by the teacher more than once.In one instance,i had to go out with them at night to point out "Orion the hunter".

This is my first post but I have been following wazua site for some time now.

Let me start by contributing to this post.I will put a twist to the post ,though this is a real life experience.

Read to the end :

I'm am a father of 1 year old daughter.About three weeks ago, my wife left me with my daughter for two hours.

I love my daughter so much so I felt this was a good time to bond with her.

When she came back .She begun by changing her diapers.Our daughter had a small infection in the private parts .

You wont imagine the accussation my wife came with.She insited that I tell her where the infection came from since she has never see anything like that before.

This angered me so much since I respect myself so much and cannot imagine anybody thinking of me as a defiler and to make the matters worse my supposedly loving wife against my daughter.

She later apologised in tears saying she has problems communicating which always put her in problems everywhere she goes at work and neighbors.

Fathers here :

1.How would you have dealt with such a matter?

2.Dont you think that mothers are just too possessive when it comes to the children?

3.It is that such possessiveness is what keep fathers away?

4.Is a divorce a good ground for suspicion of such police case?

Happy fathers day njunge. Akowally is back. Hii

Guys what I am saying is that parents over-emphasize education.

In old Greece they emphasized on character and morals..nowadays its just about facts and figures.

Fatherhood. Absent without apology.

However.

He was 79 years of age, had a wife (of goats) and grown up children in shags but kept a spare at his place of work.

He was a very good friend, was a brilliant strategist during the Mungiki wars in Kerugoya and saved my life once when I followed his advice that reversed a trap set for us by the mungiki. In other words, I owed him.

He passed away 2 years ago.

He had a daughter with the "town wife" who was extremely poor in the English language, grammar and composition. She is in standard eight.

Her mother invited me to assist her in the English Language exercises and home work one evening, and I was hooked.

It has become sheer pleasure to watch raw untapped talent transform into a sharp mind. We sit down and talk before and after homework and I get to feel her sentiments about school and life in general. I always insist that we do this in English.

Now the little angel is brighter than I am, which is difficult for me to admit. Very pretty too.

A very exciting experience, fatherhood, but I am absent without apology.
