Hilary my wife also works away since 2014, we have 2 children who i parent. A boy and a girl. Its the most satisfying thing ever. The sacrifice pays off. I have slept in wards as well, i take my daughter to the salon and wait for her to be done her hair. I help with their homework everyday .
I stay with my three kids too. My wife works outside Kenya. Since my first child was in class four. She is now a form one in Lugulu...and still going strong
I appreciate an AFRICAN father and husband who is PRESENT! Yes! Go against that grain, unlearn, learn and relearn. I hope other men are inspired. Good job Hillary.
Kilimani mums members, this is our own.😂😂😂😂....... This is why i always say, Always be kind to people. U never know what they are going through 😂😂😂😂😂 The guy is so funny. This are the men our Society needs. Kudos brother Wait .....sister😂😂😂😂
Sadly,the patriarchy has also boxed men into roles. Raising your child is part of life...the child is YOURS. Thanks for sharing your story. Men, vulnerability is strength.
I remember how people used to ask what is a man doing in this group. You survived the bashing and became one of the mums especially after explaining your predicament. Kudos Hillary
I love it when people chose to live life and define love in their own terms. Most often when a man has to leave the family and work far/abroad he is simply providing, but when a woman does the same people accuse her of "abandoning" her child. As long as all you do is for the wellbeing of your family, no one should have an issue with that. I am just glad that you made a commitment to support her dream and when the time came, you rose to the occasion. Such integrity is rare.
I left my baby at a age of 7 months for green pastures ,I know how it feels,crying day and night when I remember the years back,Glory be to God ,she is big enough now
Inspirational! Almost always it is women who give up their careers, to stay at home and raise their family, when a man recognises the potential of his wife and is ready to step up and give her a chance to explore, it is absolutely commendable. Life is changing and some situations will need the man to make unconventional choices.
I love that you and Brenda are defining what marriage is for you and making decisions based on what is right for both of you as opposed to what other people believe you should do.
This is awesome. The guy is so intelligent not because he's doing chores that are traditionally meant for the woman but because he understands one simple concept - the most important person in the relationship is not you but the other person. Both women and men have got to understand this if we're to make the world a better place.
It should be men actually,the problem we have nowadays women love marketing themselves too without focusing on the core significance of men. So irrational and sad
There should be a like button worth 1M likes here.I love his practical humour,how engaging the whole story is and how they sacrificed for their family. May the Lord keep them.
Hillary your humor stands out, irrespective of the different phases of life you've encountered with your son. Thank you for standing our, for giving a fresh breath to African fatherhood. For being present in child care you're force worth reconning. Kudos. Respect!
I live in Las vegas Nevada and I work with alot of Filipinos... yur life is exactly like they do. the women work. the me. stay home. theen.pick n drop them to work. the women are the 90% bread winners... so you good! you are not alone. ...n am.proud of you.
I can relate to that...I too had to leave my child while breast feeding,i can say its the worst feeling a mother can experience..But am glad the sacrifice worth it all..
Wow! You actually did the two things she had requested; Taking her as she was And Supporting her Ambitions and Dream. And most important, its not always about you, but the other person in the relationship.
May I posit...big thanks to your mother...I can clearly tell so easily: you had a great relationship with her(your mum) You can only give this much LOVE if you also received!!
Oh Hillary, you’ve reminded me of my younger days with my dad and me and my siblings he played both roles the best he could,wards, parents day, salon runs, clothes, homework et al ....iam so happy these men still exist and my prayer is for more women to experience this kind of men .You are amazing God bless you and your family
Wow! Kudos Hillary .. Its very rare to meet a man like you who is selfless enough to let their women chase after their dreams. Most men believe that a woman's job is to always be in the house doing house chores and take care of the kids... Sorry for all the insults you got from kilimani moms but I'm proud of you for not letting them get to you instead you stood tall and faced them. If most men were like you, this generation could've been so far.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾keep it up.
Such an encouraging piece. I salute you and your wife, Mr. Lisimba. Both of you went against the grain. It takes courage to do life together, and not have the fans 3rd wheeling in your marriage. Shut the noise out and do you. Amazed at what you do for your wife and son.
This has warmed the cockles of my heart. Your storytelling skills are on point, and you're hilarious! If only all married people would constantly remind themselves that they are a team, and that each member of the team needs to do what's best for the team. Brenda pursues her dream and it is paying off for the family, you're doing a fantastic parenting job, your child has a good, caring parent and constant contact with his mum... I'd say it's a win win win situation. Kudos, on breaking the stifling molds that previously defined the roles of spouses.
True parenting Hilary! there's no manual...we all stumble along as we go. love your boldness and sense of humour and the courage to be unconventional. Stay blessed!
What a dad, I am glad you went against all the odds and made the best decision. God bless you and your family. A great dad you are.sense of humour also on point.
Wonderful husband and Father , love that you are changing the narrative , in our culture it is unheard of that a man looks after the baby while a woman pursues a career.
Mr. Lisimba,people will always talk.Wheather good or bad,but they don't offer a single solution. Thanks for being bold on your decision n standing firm for your love.God bless you.
Lets just say we have different sizes of hearts. Mine is enough to support my son when she is around. The way that baby disturbs before he catches sleep....i donot even want to imagine how i would it off she she wasnt here. I respect her for her work and thats why i want her here with me. Do your thing if you can.
Hillary ... quite inspiring. Very few married couples understand that the true, meaningful and fulfilling love in marriage revolves around what you give or give up for the welfare of your partner than what you get from him or her for your welfare, especially in our contemporary "I, Me and Myself" world. That is a cost very few are prepared to pay in marriage and family. Thanks!
That is wonderful, caring Daddy, husband,good inspiration to many people out here,how i wish all men to watch this and learn something from it bravo bro
So impressed by your sacrifice, keep on. He who achieves much sacrifices much. As for social media, the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart, negative people are full of negative experiences and spew it all over.
This is the comment of the century, I don't know where that idea came from, even our grandfathers and fathers did not need a baby sitter/nanny, what happened? Nowadays it's 24/7 round the clock thing.
Fantastic yes you did the right thing and kudos to Brenda for trusting you to raise the baby without her. You're one strong man and you even deserve a man bra if they ever design them. You know the ones that have baby bottles with milk in them. I pray your family will have a chance to live in the same country soon because I am in the same long distance marriage and I understand how much you miss your partner. That baby is blessed to have such strong parents he will be an achiever like you both. You're a great role model to society. Yes love is sacrifice and the other person matters more than you. Great quote told with so much humor.
Quite daring and bold! ,which is the true definition of love and partnership ; bold enough to chase dreams,to courageously dive into areas that are out of our comfort zones, to sacrifice for the other and most importantly to break the norms and confines of society. Hillary, you are a great model to your son and to us all.
Waaaaaaooooow Mr Hillary congratulations.. This was a well articulated talk and you have clearly showed us the pains our wives or mothers go through when we the husband chooses to just send money. You have always proved to us that long distant marriage works . I bet your marriage is working because you fulfilled your promise of letting her achieve her dreams.. Sometimes in love the most important individual is the other person and not you. Wonderful
Love love love, glad you made a decision for your family not society. I’m glad you stepped up as a father, Mother’s are not the only parents. I admire your baldness. To the people who are quick to throw stones jamaneni STOP! May God bless your family
Hillary,you are an awesome dad,hubby and man in general. Yes,I remember you from Kilimani mums..I must admit many of us were not so kind to you. You are a good narrator and hilarious too. Wish you and your family well.
Bless your heart. Fathers and husbands that give beyond what the society expects are amazing people. Involved dads specifically give rise to men and women who are self assured and confident. If all dads were this involved in their kids lives and husbands this supportive, half of our problems as a society would be gone.
Nicee, boss thanks for sharing this info, men out there need to hear this. That way they will learn to respect there wives, I myself have been there, was in the maternity when both of my kids were born, witnessed the whole thing and trust me not. It was the greatest experience I have ever had, I've grown to respect my wife/women more. Its fantastic and most men should go through this, trust me, u will never cheat on ur wife.
I’m always amazed when I see an amazing and inspirational video like this and some dumb ass people thumbed down. Are you crazy? What’s wrong with you? This is an amazing and superb video which should not have any negative thumbs. I hope one day I’ll become that kind of father to my kids and supportive to my woman as you are.
When i see this kind of reply my heart melts with that kafeeling that come only when a woman other than your mother appreciates you. Bottom line marriage is all about sacrificing for the other person.

I might be the breadwinner in my family, but i always tell my wife she plays the biggest and hardest role in our lives taking care of our boy.
I appreciate an AFRICAN father and husband who is PRESENT! Yes! Go against that grain, unlearn, learn and relearn. I hope other men are inspired. Good job Hillary.
And my mum calls again 😂.... A Mother's love is just immeasurable ☺️❤️
Who said all men are the same??? Sending you love and light Hillary💝...keep doing what you do

The guy is so funny. This are the men our Society needs. Kudos brother Wait .....sister😂😂😂😂
jemmie jemmie our very own
😂😂😂😂give this man a bra, whoever told him this, mungu anakuona🤣🤣
@@jemmiejemmie2015 haki... 😂
One of us......the original kilimani
Kilimani mums and dads 😁😂
Sadly,the patriarchy has also boxed men into roles. Raising your child is part of life...the child is YOURS. Thanks for sharing your story. Men, vulnerability is strength.
This should have had a warning for viewers to procure insurance covers for our ribs. too Hillariously inspiring
Right? 😂
Yes 😂😂😂
True 😂😂
Ian Khisa you are most likely to be an insurance guy, you are innovative, I will try that policy.
His soo funny.. 😂 😂
I remember how people used to ask what is a man doing in this group. You survived the bashing and became one of the mums especially after explaining your predicament. Kudos Hillary
And btw. Kilimani. Mum's waligrow
I wish my baby daddy would watch this and learn from it...

Awesome father. You should try stand up comedy too, very funny guy.
I love that you and Brenda are defining what marriage is for you and making decisions based on what is right for both of you as opposed to what other people believe you should do.
You can say that again!! 🥂
This is awesome.

He is so wise
Absolutely beautiful, you are simply amazing
If only men knew the worth of women, the society would be a better place
AMEN TO THAT
Verse vasa
i cant add a dime to that.kudos
Men have worth too. Men matter too. The world wouldn't be where is it without men. "Bad" is not a man problem, its a human problem.
It should be men actually,the problem we have nowadays women love marketing themselves too without focusing on the core significance of men. So irrational and sad
Dude i remember you from Kilimani mums :) I had to even go back and search your posts once more. yeah i was one of those supporting mums ;)
Hahaha...God bless you 😂
Kathesya God bless you. But you are a different woman. I would not expect anything else.
This guy is one in a million.. Very few would stand up for their spouse

Wonderful husband and Father , love that you are changing the narrative , in our culture it is unheard of that a man looks after the baby while a woman pursues a career.
Best true love story.. I have listened to so far. Love can enable one manouvre where you ordinary thinking wouldn't take you.
Changing the narrative! Thank you Hillary, and all other men out there doing this!
Mr. Lisimba,people will always talk.Wheather good or bad,but they don't offer a single solution. Thanks for being bold on your decision n standing firm for your love.God bless you.
support group for mothers !!! wooooooow. Congrats man! that was a great piece
This has been the best speaker of 2019 with a catchy start... Laughed from inception...
Lets just say we have different sizes of hearts. Mine is enough to support my son when she is around. The way that baby disturbs before he catches sleep....i donot even want to imagine how i would it off she she wasnt here. I respect her for her work and thats why i want her here with me.

Enjoyed every bit of this!!! Thanks for sharing, Hillary! The amount of support and love for your wife is unimaginable. Be blessed.
Wow Hillary and Brenda! Love that you guys did what's best for your family. Thanks for being a supportive spouse Mister.
Wow. This was good - Hillary is an adult man. Not a child man who can't survive without a babysitter and housekeeping
This is the comment of the century, I don't know where that idea came from, even our grandfathers and fathers did not need a baby sitter/nanny, what happened? Nowadays it's 24/7 round the clock thing.
Wow. Just wow. Its good to see great men and great fathers. Good job hillary. GOD BLESS you
Very inspiring, well done! Your mum raised you well!
I respect this guy and all who are like him. This clip is amazing
Bravo Hillary! Beautiful storytelling.

now i know we are many..my dota today is in class 5 and i was left with her wen she was 1yr.its such a wonderful experience.
Woow am glad I stumbled on this. Love is sacrifice and no matter the distance and other struggles, it always wins.
Quite daring and bold! ,which is the true definition of love and partnership ; bold enough to chase dreams,to courageously dive into areas that are out of our comfort zones, to sacrifice for the other and most importantly to break the norms and confines of society. Hillary, you are a great model to your son and to us all.
This is one of the most beautiful things i've seen in forever.God bless you and all other men breaking social norms.
Hillary this is a well articulated talk n very inspiring, marriage has no manual it's just what the 2 of you decide on.. All the best sir

Bless your heart.
Fathers and husbands that give beyond what the society expects are amazing people. Involved dads specifically give rise to men and women who are self assured and confident.
If all dads were this involved in their kids lives and husbands this supportive, half of our problems as a society would be gone.
This gentleman is hilarious esp Hapo Kiliman mums,i was forced to listen his story for like 4 times.He's a comedian,natural one.
Lord I need this kind of love listen to my prayer.
I wish you well Hillary and Brenda
Inspiring and true...my dad would take care of us while mum was doing her degree.
Nicee, boss thanks for sharing this info, men out there need to hear this.

It was the greatest experience I have ever had, I've grown to respect my wife/women more. Its fantastic and most men should go through this, trust me, u will never cheat on ur wife.
Your sense of humor is remarkable. God bless your marriage.
I’m always amazed when I see an amazing and inspirational video like this and some dumb ass people thumbed down. Are you crazy? What’s wrong with you? This is an amazing and superb video which should not have any negative thumbs. I hope one day I’ll become that kind of father to my kids and supportive to my woman as you are.
Hillary Lisimba thats a hell of a talk... succes with your child man
You’re a super dad and Husband Hillary, just like my husband too. God bless you and your family always.
When i see this kind of reply my heart melts with that kafeeling that come only when a woman other than your mother appreciates you. Bottom line marriage is all about sacrificing for the other person.
