Tuesday, May 19, 2026 - Radio presenter, Mwalimu Rachel, has sparked conversation on parenting after candidly sharing her views on the importance of a father’s presence in a boy’s life.Speaking during an interview with media personality, Alex Mwakideu, on Tuesday, May 19th, 2026, she argued that a strong father‑son bond is central to shaping discipline, identity and emotional stability.“A boy needs his father, I hope women understand when I say this.”“As long as he is not an abusive father and is a good parent to that child, it is very important for the boy to spend as much time with the father,” Rachel said.In cases where the biological father is absent, she insisted that other male figures such as uncles or grandfathers must step in to provide mentorship.“I am a strong believer that a man is the only one to raise a boy; sisi tutapambana na utachoka, utazeeka kabla miaka yako, utakuwa bitter, utakasirika, and if it is not the father, other father figures, the uncles or the grandfather, there has to be that male presence in the boy’s life,” she added.She also opened up about her own co‑parenting journey, revealing that her son now lives with his father while she takes him on weekends.“We co‑parent. It’s not easy now that he’s almost a teenager. Anaelekea puberty.”“What I did was I now took him to his dad aishi naye. Now I take him during the weekends.”“I wonder why women find this hard. Unasaidiwa kazi, especially if this is a responsible man,” she shared.She explained that trust is key, noting her son is now learning vital lessons on manhood, respect and responsibility.“He’s being taught how to be a man, how to talk to girls, and how to dress and so far imekuwa results poa.”“Ameacha ka ukora. Siku hizi nikimuambia kitu anafanya.” The Kenyan DAILY POST 

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 - Renowned life coach and author, Benjamin Zulu, has stirred conversation with his interesting explanation of why some married men treat side chicks better than with their wives.In a video shared on Tuesday, May 19th, 2026, Zulu argued that many men separate romance from responsibility, making side relationships seem more exciting.He explained that a side‑chick relationship carries fewer expectations compared to marriage.“The man is mainly expected to be charming, funny, and exciting, without the burden of bills, family leadership or emotional accountability.”“He shows his best where there are no bills, no pressure, no accountability, no expectations to be mature, and no pressure to grow, to heal or to be gentle,” Zulu explained.He noted that these relationships thrive because the man only appears for short periods, making it easier to maintain an attractive image.“There he is trying to be funny because there are no expectations, very few expectations.”“Remember also he is appearing there for short periods of time, and that is not where he is supposed to be a man; he is supposed to be only a lover,” he added.However, Zulu stressed that marriage demands far more.A husband is expected to be reliable, emotionally available, consistent and responsible.Beyond romance, he must lead, provide, listen and show empathy.“For the side‑chick relationship he is a lover, but where the marriage is concerned he is a husband, leader, provider, capable, listener, empathetic, and consistent.”“Over there he is mischievous.”“Here he is supposed to be mischievous but also serious, reliable, and needed; he can be funny, but reliability is what is needed at home,” Zulu concluded.
