    Cathy, I feel you. I decided from the very beginning to be a fool, zero engaging, closed my ears and my eyes if I had to. The only bag I need to secure is my peace. 13 years of zero drama and going strong. Love yah Cathy!!

    You give people access to you, and they will disrespect you.

    Hahaha Ive laughed at "kama huku ni kubaya si wakuchukue basi" lol. I totally understand that feeling and kuna some days you just immediately say what's at the top of your mind. But generally you have handled your blended family very maturely. Good job Cathy, keep up the good job!

      Hehe. If you're African then you know some phrases/good ol emphasis, cannot quite be translated into English. 😁 So, hope Cathy can indeed talk in as much English as possible but when the soul speaks, may it be allowed a bit of room to just speak in its first tongue, as those bits are the funniest for those that understand the language. 😁 PS: Africa could do with one language, as our languages have much more oomph. English can be so bland.
