Motherhood Reflections ft. Sheila & Shikie

[@cynthiawamuhu8001]

I watched this video before I had my baby and I'm here a month after delivery and its even more relatable! Motherhood is so hard and unbelievably beautiful at the same time.

[@IjeomaKolaYT]

I totally agree!

[@nkathaigweta922]

Babies do come with their "plates".... What they don't tell you is that the "plate" is empty and it's for you to fill it up... Awesome discussion..

@Malakai Valentin Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@marielaescobedo1471]

I am a latina living in US,studying a PhD and thinking in having a child. This talk give me life. It's very nice to listen intelligent women talking about their motherhood. Thank you very muchhhhhhh!

[@IjeomaKolaYT]

So glad to hear that!

[@qhayiyanongogo56]

awwww, i LOOOOOOVED this video ladies! It made me realise that 1) I miss Sheila so so so much on these KZbin streets, my word! 2) I think I saw a side of Ijeoma that i didnt know in this video - can't exactly put my finger on it but i love it and 3) Shiki is honestly such a girl's girl, one of my fave girls in Kenyan KZbin. Just turned 25 a week ago and I know I am nowhere near being a mother but I loved this, it was equally insightful and frightening lol.

[@libbyaweshious]

I clicked on this because a I'm going through it. I have a 5 year old and a 2 month old and am pretty sure that whilst I'm so happy and feel blessed to have them I may have 'baby blues'. It's been overwhelming for me being an M2 (mother of two) and it feels like there's not a lot of people who are willing to listen to the struggles.

[@mamajay4219]

Many people will be quick to tell how you shouldn’t complain because kids are a blessing. I mean I’m very grateful but also can you just let me vent? It’s so annoying

[@emmaschwab5789]

yay our Shikie is looking good as always❤

[@AbiTiwo]

I am not a mum but this was so insightful. Really enjoyed listening to the different perspectives

[@IjeomaKolaYT]

I'm glad you did!

[@mutabazisherllyb9402]

Enjoyed this video,I am a mum of a 20 months old girl and i feel like u was speaking about my life lol. Very very relatable. All I can say is respect to all mums out there,ya'll are heroes no matter yo situation,yes parenting is THE HARDEST JOB in history 👐🏾. That all said I love love and enjoy being a mum and I am thankful because she's everything beautiful 🥰😘😍🧡

[@marymutuku5355]

I love the open discussions, motherhood ain't easy, always good to hear people talk frankly on the challenges

[@KaranjaAngela]

Such a good conversation to listen to. Thank you ladies for your willingness to candidly share your experience. I feel that expenses with babies are not only financial but also Emotional,Physical, Mental,Sexually. A lot goes into delivering and raising these blessings.

[@roseb.5367]

This is bittersweet considering that you're moving back but I appreciate this collaboration

[@fu_raha]

Please continue this series!! You have no idea how many people need this and thank you for doing this. You three are amazing mamas. You got this!💖

[@IjeomaKolaYT]

Thank you so much!

[@ingyness7517]

This was so calming and enjoyable to watch. It also highlighted for me what I feel was stripped from so many first time Moms during this pandemic - community! I miss my friends so much (parent non-parent!).

[@nnekamogbo5895]

FINALLY! This is the collab we needed to see 🤩

[@yveqeshy]

Love the collaboration with Kenyan vloggers

[@bhaktuhlife]

But why are they sounding so White American though? Give thanks for the girl by the name of Shikk to the left who was so well spoken ,authentic and proud in her entire being . If I was young and looking forward to an African making me proud it would not be the other two, especially ijeoma . Whoosh annoying white accent .

[@Abebo21]

@@bhaktuhlife u do realize ijeoma is an America brought up in America and just temporarily relocated to Kenya like just an year ago 🙄🙄

[@bhaktuhlife]

@@Abebo21 Do you realize she is Nigerian born per her ,it means her formidable years began in Nigeria. There's no excuse to be sounding like a nasal wanna be white chick who was raised by white ppl . Many African Americans born in the country would agree with this greatly. This suppression of self/ tone/ tongue is a global problem Eurocentric educated Blacks are having . Acquiring a White given education should not eradicate your African sound / accent or tone. We can speak English eloquently and not be sounding like a nasal / I lost myself because I am programmed /Educated by white ppl ,do you understand ? This is the global issue and a facet of colonialism that we are facing . No excuse . Be authentic African educated men and women .

Too bad you are leaving Kenya. So nice to see this collab.

[@wangui9944]

I really enjoyed listening to this conversation, it was also very educative. loved the different personalities 🥰 and the compassion you guys showedon here. I’m also wondering, is it really worth it not to know your kids for the sake of hustle? - I understand it’s for them but I also notice a lot of current teens and young adults have gone through mental problems, clinical depression and suicide sadly even due to the lack of a proper family structure, not knowing their parents or being friends with them. I think a lot of things which could come from home such a security of love, belonging, affirmation on identity, social & work skills and friendship can and have lacked on a huge level and this has gone on to really affect children. _ I think also as you & Sheila said the hustle is for them and that’s a love language in itself. I think it’s also an encouragement we can try set boundaries with work so that our kids don’t think, “oh mum loves to work more than she loves to hang out with me,” plus also we can get the opportunity to know our kids and raise them well and confident.

Great convo- Thanks for your honesty I wonder how much a live vs daytime in nanny cost in Kenya

[@linetkamau658]

Having a live-in or day bug is more of a lifestyle/convenience choice in Kenya.The salaries range from $100-$150 per month,quite affordable compared to developed counties .

[@Tmaria-wn3hc]

honestly sometimes it depends on your income .Some pay 60 dollars per month for a nanny some pay 100 to 150 dollars per month like the comment states above.

[@faithn35]

@Ijeoma.......Did you say the hospital bill for Kenya was cheap? or affordable. Please mention good affordable clinic's in Kenya. I find them soooo expensive. I'm a Kenyan who lives in the US. The US has so many programs if you do your research. Most people I know paid $0 for child birth. Medicare....esp during the pandemic. But great topic.......Love seeing naija n kenyan ladies get together.

[@IjeomaKolaYT]

I didn’t qualify for Medicaid in the US based on my income but paying $4000 out of pocket in Kenya including prenatal visits was cheaper than what my out of pockets costs would’ve been in the US even with insurance.

The problem is, i grt deathly ill (Heyperemisis Gravidarum) right from 5 weeks and need hospitalization etc. So i'm over it. I'm just done coz it has taken a toll on both my physical and mental health. The only good thing is i'm in a country where all my healthcare is free.

[@bhaktuhlife]

@ijeoma ,can you atleast speak naturally like Shiki does ? It is so ears irksy and annoying to hear the coerced accents . Everyone knows that even after living in the USA or any white owned country ,the culture will attach itself to you but good gosh you have return to the beautifulllllll motherland now please speak normally. Why are we on here suppressing our African tones and tongues speaking nasally to appeal to social medias ears . Be yourselves and be be authentic all subscribers will like you when you do so . These nasal white girl twanging and sounds is so harsh to the ears . Do better and stop suffocating your accent, colonialism of the physical is over ,it is time to undo the mind.

[@IjeomaKolaYT]

Just stop watching the videos if it bothers you. It’s not by force sha

@@IjeomaKolaYT I know what you mean but if only you could speak like this . The Eurocentric nasal talking is simply not cutting it hun . I agree with you however .
