Have you ever been in a conversation with someone who completely lacks empathy? Perhaps they interrupt constantly, dismiss your feelings, or respond in a way that feels entirely insensitive?

Hey Parents
Why do we keep assuming that parents don't have favorite kids? I know for sure I'm not my parents' favorite. I feel like they favor my sister more. They celebrated her grades and planned a special dinner for her, but when it comes to me, no one seems to notice. I also feel ignored most of the time. Fine, I'm not a top performer, but I do well in other areas like football and swimming. I tried addressing this, but my dad said, mwanaume ni kukaa ngumu (a man should be tough). I no longer try, but this isn't how I will treat my kids.

Mornings may begin with a brainstorming session for a new project while making breakfast for the family. Afternoons are spent creating fascinating content and maybe running errands for the family, while nights are spent balancing family time and late-night work to meet deadlines.
This flurry of obligations is both rewarding and demanding, but it can also result in burnout, a quiet thief that many people fail to recognize until it’s too late.

Imagine growing up in a household where your other sibling is treated as the golden child. Every achievement the make is celebrated, while your own successes are met with a simple nod or a passing comment.
Family gatherings revolve around their latest accomplishments, and you can’t help but feel like you’re always in their shadow. This is the reality for many children who experience parental favoritism, a quiet but powerful force that can strain relationships and leave lasting emotional scars.

Parents Dilemma: I love my wife, but I'm growing increasingly concerned about our approach to parenting. Our child has been getting more rude and disrespectful, and every time I bring it up, my wife insists she's practicing gentle parenting. While I understand and respect her desire to be nurturing, I feel there’s a fine line between being gentle and letting bad behavior slide. I’m worried that without some form of discipline, our child won’t learn the difference between right and wrong. It's not about punishment—it's about setting boundaries and teaching respect. I don't want to undermine my wife, but I fear we're sending mixed signals to our child, and I’m struggling to find a middle ground where we can both feel confident in our parenting choices.
