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!!

[@Alizae144]

I love how you’re leaving emotions out and sticking to logic and peace.

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!

Hio yankujituma wueee learned the hard way mine ni in-laws

[@EllenChiyindiko]

Love the content Cathy. Got a bit lost when you switch to your local language 😅 . Hoping for captions in future episodes .

[@LethoHali]

Yeah, same

[@FashionableStepMum]

My apologies. Will take note of that in the next one

[@EllenChiyindiko]

@@FashionableStepMum Thank you for this . Love from Zimbabwe

[@surpeleisurpelei7501]

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.

[@resident__]

Cathy is the Kenyan Sprinkle Sprinkle 🤭🤭🥹😂❤️

[@angelaodero6797]

I agree😅

[@TNJ-gn2gv]

[@valentinemusimbi633]

Don't engage is the key, close your ears 👂
