Too Broke for Birthdays

Both wife and son’s birthdays are upcoming but nigger has no cent to spend on them. Wife has gone ahead and bought a cake for them two. I am even ashamed to sit in that celebration. I blame all these woes financially on the bad economy which forced me to pile every loan on my head. Advice a villager on the excuse to give for not providing anything for the birthdays. Ion, I also cancelled Naivasha vacation…

Your presence is more valued than any material gifts. Cheer up!

Is this honest advice?

Yes. I’m imagining if the OP was my dad. Would i care if my dad could not afford to buy me a cake? The love for a parent is 100% unconditional. I would just want my dad to be there to sing for me and tell me funny stories etc.

Hii dunia ya sahii apana macheso. You have to gift people on their birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, baby showers, weddings, Valentines day, Christmas, New Year, and all manner of crappy occasions. And this year’s gift should ideally be more spectacular than last year’s. I hate it when people give me gifts because it means I have to reciprocate.

Capitalism

Look on the bright side, wengine hata hio cake hawana, being there physically with ur family is all that matters hata kama mtakunywa strungi na sembe doesnt matter. Ur son and wife ndio gifts. Switch off the gadgets and treasure that damn moment.

You basically cultivating a wrong culture and soon you will raise spoilt brats

Africans don’t celebrate that stuff, every day of being alive is a birthday for us

Alternatively you can change your circles to a more private one

You are dwelling on trivialities. Where is your spine?

I never gift anyone. Maybe only my wife. And i never expect anything from anyone. Sipendi stress kwanza wife akiniambia tunaenda kutembelea so and so and we need to come up with a gift. Shiet

Madem ndio huchochana tu io maneno ya kutembeleana, unaweza kaa ngumu ama unaderail yeye pole pole aondokee io mbogi yake

Hizi vitu nilianza kukata pole pole from my wife…nikaanza kumzoesha nitampatia gift nikitaka not that because ni birthday, xmas, valentine’s, anniversary…ukiwazoesha utaona moto. Siku utasahau kumpee gift utatafuta mamako umkose. Mimi wife akianza story za gifts mimi humuuliza kama ashai ona mamake akipeleka babake mbio for such stuff anasema hapana. Namwambia awachane na mimi basi

Mimi humwambia its her friends not our friends so ajisort. And when we are going to visit my buddies i never bother her

Hapo Sawa, kwanza Hawa MA arif wao wa kuuza dera?

Kuna wale Wa wig

Bana, madem wenyewe ndio hutafuna mkwanja ya maarif wao tu na tu Hustle sub standard, alafu wanachorea ya mzae.

Wewe na bangi zako mbichi unatolewa hii shop ukipelekwa ingine ndio ufurahishe Mami…

Enyewe ngombe ni ngombe tu

Juzi woman brought me a nice black cap with a printed label on it… Told me she bought it for 2k from her friend(promoting a friend’s business)… Anyway it’s her money… Kidogo kidogo she’s lamenting vile mwezi iko corner… Ghaseeer kabisa
