Things Kenyan Ladies Aren't Good At Nowadays
Today’s
breed of Kenyan women is certainly a shocking one. Many historical
events have led to the evolution of the female role and the Homemaker is
now Ms. Independent or Miss 'I don give a f*ck'. Of course our ladies
are great in many ways but just because certain "old-fashioned" ways have
been phased out, doesn't mean they should be completely retired. There
are things that were cool, things that made our fathers and mothers stay
together for so long, but Kenyan women don’t do them anymore. Here are
some:
Cook
Some women these days don't and won’t
cook! Even if they do, you’ll have to swallow their food with a wrinkled
face like someone taking the infamous Chloroquine pills. Because the
food is so horrible. Back in the day, every woman had to take Home
science classes. It was cool. It pretty much taught them how to be great
wives. They learned how to cook, clean, sew, polish silver and treat
guests. Nowadays, women only know how to cook if someone took the time
to teach them how to cook. Even those who know how to cook don’t want to
do it. God help our women. Time and time again, you are knocked out
with statements like, “Baibe, I’m too tired, let’s order some pizza or
chicken pieces.” A Luhya like me can't even eat well cooked Kienyeji
chicken or ugali mzito anymore.
Clean
Nowadays it’s all about “Ita mama wa
kuosha nguo.” Some people are slobs and some are neat freaks and some
are somewhere in between. But a lot of women don't really know how to
"keep house". A lot of people nowadays didn't even have chores growing
up. But even the ones who did have chores growing up feel like they're
"grown" now and don't have to do that anymore. Well you do! And while
your husband/boyfriend should be able to pick up after himself, as the
woman of the house, you should be able to maintain a clean house.
Go to church
Kenyan women never used to miss church
back in the day. Almost every woman trusted in God as the only solver
of problems. Nowadays some believe rich men are the true solvers of
problems. Women don’t even get their children baptized anymore. Back ijn
the day, it was amazing, seeing a woman drag over 5 kids to church to
worship the Lord. That doesn’t happen anymore
Keep their image up
Kenyan women used to really focus on
"keeping themselves up" and always "looking presentable". Always. At all
times. There was no walking out in public with your hair wrapped in
rubber bands. And there definitely was no being seen in public in
bedroom attire. Nowadays, women are so comfortable and lax that they'll
just go out looking any kind of way and don't really invest effort in
maintaining their bodies in general. Several times, you get hit with the
hideous sight of an extremely overweight woman exposing her thighs to
the public, thinking she looks sèxy. Work out. Eat healthy. Look
presentable. Take care of yourself.
Anticipate a man’s needs
Women used to be on point when it came
to this one! They would have a cold drink waiting, warm bathing water,
and dinner on the table. She would take his shoes and coat before he
could even get in the door good! But now, women tend to ignore the signs
and just wait on him to ask (and then complain about it!). Then they
get absolutely insane when you don’t do something you promised.
Dish out compliments
Kenyan women of the past were quick to
compliment their men, their kids and other women too. But nowadays
women just want to soak up all the compliments and gather Instagram
likes on their photos.. But the truth is, it should go both ways. A
woman won’t even congratulate her man after he has graduated yet she’ll
be mad when he forgets to say her shoes look good.
Watch their mouths
Women these days curse way too much!
Ladies didn't curse back in the day. Nowadays, we're all just calling
each other b*****s and h**s like it's no big deal - like it's a
compliment! And some women curse like a sailor in a sudden storm. That
is just not attractive. Try to refrain from cursing, especially in
certain situations - like maybe church, class, in front of his new boss,
etc. Let me cry now.
