- Many children are living in the emoji world and hiding their feeling in emoji’s, by texting you a smile emoji doesn't mean he or she is okay.
- It's so sad that daddy is nowhere to be found, he is busy with friends betting, playing cards or even he has gone for a vacation to Diani or Maasai Mara with friends.
It's no longer a secret that men have lost their olden days title of being brave, responsible and caring. In the olden days or rather in the African society’s social setups, men were respected depending on how they acted as a pillar and how well they conducted their families.
But nowadays things have changed and women seem to have taken the role of men. They provide for their families, spend time with the kids and ensure that if not that much at least they have some attention.
A man would rather spend time with friends talking about the newest strikers in the English premier league rather than discuss homework with his children, so sad that a father is aware of the newest liquors in town and not aware of the academic progress of their children.
What happened to the good olden days where children would at least hang out with their fathers and get to enjoy life?
A father being part of his children's life makes them gain confidence and be sure that if anything was to happen, ‘my papa’ got this.
But nowadays there seem to be no difference between a child from a single mother and a married woman because all of them tend to have the absence of the fatherly care they should get, justifying why very young people are fighting depression since sometimes there is no one to talk to, “daddy comes home late and mummy is always busy cooking for us,” daily claims.
Some fathers tend to believe that buying smartphones for their children is enough and they have shown all the love, but love is not in gifts, attention is not in building a big house and every kid having a spacious room with a big flat screen.
It’s all about kids spending time with you, being free to share their problems with you, parents sometimes don’t get to understand how kids feel when their needs are taken care of more so the emotional needs.
It feels so nice when you as the father helps your children do homework and if not every day try taking them to school and taking part in activities that involve you as their father, that gives a child a sense of love, protection and care.

What happened to the days where daddy would crack a joke and become the rib cracker of the house?
It's so sad that daddy is nowhere to be found, he is busy with friends betting, playing cards or even he has gone for a vacation to Diani or Maasai Mara with friends.
It's the high time that men changed their behaviours and try to be there for their children, provide for their families and show love and attention to them.
The question still remains men should ponder on it , is it really possible?
