Ever asked yourself why the number of single families is on the rise?
You may think that it's due to the increase in cases of unwanted pregnancies but I tend to differ in this.
Single ladies are getting themselves pregnant on purpose! But why? The modern woman has the greatest weapon which is education.
In contrast to the olden days when women got married so that the man can help in taking care of the children and wife, things have since changed.
A woman can pay all her bills, drive her own limo and take care of her children all alone! Why then on earth would she need a husband except for companionship.
This learned woman also needs her freedom and she knows once she gets married, the archaic story of submission and her being the neck while the husband is the head will be the new daily song to her ears.
This woman wants to go out and have fun with other women, eat whatever she feels like and be the head of her family.
She knows she doesn't have to run home before the husband gets home before her. She can also enjoy the pizza and spaghetti for the whole month as long as the kids like it.
They need not have ugali for every supper for the sake of the so called head of the family.
Being a mother and a wife at the same time is too much to ask of the modern woman with a 1001 things to attend to.
They say the husband is like a child thus he should be given much attention. But there is no enough time to take care of the children and this "Big child" at ago.
Sometimes wives are forced to cook a different dish for the husband since he simply can't take a "light meal".
Which woman wants this trouble? Who wants to be woken up at 5 am even when it's their day off to prepare the husband for work?
When the modern woman thinks of how restricted her life will be and how a man will try being in control of all that she does including her difficult earned shilling, she can only opt to get one or two kids and lead a happy life without a man in their lives.
