Did your upbringing prepare you for this adulting?😮‍💨| The Unpopular Opinion UG 

Oh, Claire, you make a good point about the principles; it actually makes sense since it's the end goal at the end of the day.

I read something that said, Be gracious to your parents, they’re doing life for the first time as well. I don’t think anyone can prepare you for life, maybe by learning from your mistakes and others mistakes.

Does anyone notice that Fiona most times gets lost(for lack of a better word) in moderating and ends up not sharing her opinions with us as much as the rest of the ladies

I love Prim’s calm and composure as well as how articulate, authentic and relatable everything she has shared is. Most of us the 90s kids this is how we have grown and these candid conversations are really eye opening. Loved it

Growing up with my dad really prepared me for this adult life. I am that lady that Prim talks about 😂( whose father used to keep envelopes) He made understand that before you start on any project you must have a budget. He always crossed out the word “miscellaneous “ on our school budgets simply because he thought that whenever you want something, be sure of what it is exactly. Accountability as a lesson, I learnt it from him. From simple things like sending you to your grand mother, he always demanded for a report on anything. I am that person now😂 Thank you for reminding us of where we came from.

Totally agree with Claire, it’s all about the principle of the different values. If you can afford to pay someone to keep your house, clothes , etc….. why not?

Machines do make our lives easier no doubt but there’s got to be a fine balance in learning how to actually work with our hands. Some of these skills cooking, washing etc for example provided opportunity for communities or families to spend time together and bond and get to know each other because they were doing them together. But also i find that some of these skills make you resourceful or self reliant especially in the face of unexpected situations. Machines remove us from community which makes us more humane (I don’t know if I’m making sense here). And it’s not to say don’t use machines… I think both extremes can be detrimental. So how about just have the range to be able to use both. Know how to use the machines but also how to use your hands to do stuff when you can. And while we are trying to give our kids the absolute most comfortable life, we must also expose them to as many possibilities as possible including the best, mid and the worst. Listen, you could die. In the blink of an eye, your money could all go. Then what?! Being able to perform certain basic tasks like hand washing prepares one for situations when the conveniences are unavailable. I hate hand washing and chores tbh so I use machines and pay for help but those darn skills have come in handy in situations (out of my control) where I’ve not had either. For me, one of the things is giving my babies community and showing them how to build one for themselves too and especially across all class. One of the ways we do that is being present in even the most mundane family and community activities - a lot of them which include using our bodies/hands in service to those communities.

I can totally relate with Prim meanwhile understanding Claire fully without any offence 😍!

@Nyonyozi you so retabale

Anyway lets take sometime to appreciate Prims elegance 😊

For most parents, I know the biggest thing they want to do for their kids is leave them money and property. Strangely, that's not the biggest goal for my kids. If we are financially set up well we shall definitely give them a good start because why should they struggle if i have the resources to give them a softer life BUT I do not have sleepless nights over it. If we don't have much to leave them, they will work with whatever they find or make their own. What I fear most for my kids on the other hand is my actions and parenting style, messing them up on an emotional/psychological level. I don't want to be the reason my children are going to need therapy. Lol

Someone tell prim that she is looking so good and her legs are cute 🥰 ohhh God bless her

Fiona, how about you? How are you? We missed your input on that question - would have been great if your co-hosts would have bounced that question back to you as well. Please tell us how you are

Whoever annoyed Prim should apologize on a national TV,😢😢

Nothing has been funny since P7 third term 😢

No Claire we wont attack. what you're saying is the truth. I would love to invest my time in more money making activities and family unions. then use the same money to make house chores easier..

Claire I completely understand what you are saying. I am a huge fan of delegating domestic tasks. Whether it’s to a machine or a hired person. That frees me up to do things I find more meaningful. Also spot on about wealth creation and sustainability. A job is great to provide financial capital to invest, but if you get to a place where your money is growing even when you are asleep, that is true financial freedom.

Claire l look your character gal u are so real and on the washing clothes u have made ma day the thing dat matters is cleanliness,maintaining hygiene period😂

Kwonka Prim, mbu 😂😂😂 that's how i have been shaped 😅😅😅😊😊😊 to fight for food.

i think claire was misled and sadly her children will be too. when you do chores, it helps you with logic skills and problem solving skills. it also helps with mental health. it is so absurd that she thinks doing dishes and washing clothes and mopping must be outsourced. some people clean and cook to relax. it is so absurd that your mother took that away from you. dont take it away from your children. there is a part of their development you will kill by doing that. please talk to child experts. chores are part of child development

Great conversation today however the video glitches make us miss out some seconds of content

@Fiona that mentioning of getting close to 40s. That's pretty scary l don't even want to imagine. Adulting in my opinion/did they prepare us to some extent yes! However everything is you learn through experience. I have learnt that certain things you learn from others you don't really have to go through them.

Hey ladies. Absolutely loved this comversation. Super relatable. I also feel like Prim’s character is BBC material, international host material like Prim, you really are someone who once you decide to delve into something, you get the 360 degrees of it through analysis and that authenticity is lovely. 👏🏽 Phiona my OG. I see you sis 👊🏾 Those shapeless doughnuts were really something. 😹 Well done ladies and all the best to you Claire on the weight loss journey you have embarked on. Naffe otuwa essubi. Asante ladies. 🤩

Yes i recall . I was in Kibuye primary school as well. We were soooo many and so much competition.

One thing am teaching my sons, if you cannot or do not want to do something yourself or with your hands, be prepared to PAY someone to do it for you.

Yooo, Prim''s sarcasm with a straight face is such a sight.

Prims questions to Claire😂😂😂😂 Are all your ancestors happy😂😂😂😂😂

Hi ladies thanks a lot for always putting a smile on our face. But prim am really struggling with weight help me here with your health program gym is killing me

Parents didnt prep us well for adulthood, marriage ,sex 😅

Adulting to me was a rude shock 😭😭 especially dealing with money

Prim looking cute😍😍

Why does it always seem like Fiona is the host of this show? You should switch turns on who introduces the topics and solicts ideas.🎉

Prim is her authentic self. I love it!

Clare wooooow I have been going through these conversations of house work and I was literally cut offf because of that thank you

Prim doesnt want to talk anymore.she just throws in few words.its only phiona and clare talking

It's important to hear the stories of our parents lives. I feel like everyone should have opportunity to have a biography of the parents.

Respectfully I don't mean to offend Claire but there is a reason why people taught children to kunya through generations.Yes the end goal is cleanliness but trust me there are always consequences we went to school with a girl who didn't know how to wash clothes but was clean she decided to instead buy new panties every time instead of washing the old ones. Which was necessarily clean but at the same time weird .A Che who grows up knowing how to wash is at a better advantage astronomically than that who just knows cleanliness should be the end result.But I respect your opinion I just wanted to enlighten you.

Nakasero pri. sch canteen hurstle 😃😃

Bambi you ladies have grown in a beautiful mature way.😊😊😊😊

Mine didn't, still recovering from the naivety. I really assumed everyone was of the same school of thought.

Hi guys, thanks for the show! I live in Australia and I have every tool that you know to clean the house, mop and all that, but my hand kisimula🤗 I mean my towel will not miss in my house😂 Let me tell you why, I feel like it’s the easiest way to clean my house , get to every corner without even having to sweep First. I only use these other ones when I’m just getting rid of the obvious. Otherwise the one thing I can’t imagine going now if spending more that 1hour hand washing clothes because that time is money.

Thanks ladies for the lessons. @ claire rip to mr. Mponye( jajja) he was such a darling and kind man to most of us. Love you cousin ❤️

I saw the confidence in u Claire since Primary school for sure Agakhan Primary School made us confident I have always been that person who is so confident to speak out and yea because of speaking out the truth am hated the fact of being open minded I love this topic surely

Claire’s immaturity and false confidence is baffling. Maybe I need to stop watching but yet I love Prim’s authenticity and Kemi’s calm confidence and quicky maturity

I have watched but answer is NO!😄

Clair am your type

Did you charge the robot😂😂😂😂😂 that had me laughing hard. I have learnt to not judge people like everyone has a reason behind why they do what they do. If i like it, and want to adopt then i ask questions, listen & absorb only what speaks to me, then tweak it to my taste and leave the rest out.

After prim talking about fighting for food...it's very clear now where I got the skill from#true life story 😂...I rarely miss food at functions 😂

Bt who will ever forgive prim😂i hear it shaped me to fight for food🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

i have new found love for Claire...bye Prim😅

Lohana Kids gather. RIP Mr. Almeida.

Hi love you I think as you grow you start testing theories and forming new theories. You discover that you're an organisation that needs to make rules, find a goal and a mission. They taught us to think and maybe that prepared us for adulthood.

Claire is a planned child

More power and grace to Claire...I cant wait to see slim Clair 😍

Nyce

Prim you are so cute in Pink.❤.Thank you for this wonderful discussion ladies.

Dedicate one show to Nairobi and Gen Z...with your twist🎉😅😅😶‍🌫️🥴💨

One thing I realized with our parents' generation is that perception matters to them a lot. That is why you might find for instance if someone was or is struggling they will probably never open up to you about that background. So it is difficult for you to humanize them as a result.

Marriage as a retirement plan.😂😂

I miss Fiona's submissions, how I wish u could limit how long one can submit for the rest to do so as well.

Prim is giving me Bat valley Primary School flashbacks. That was the life. 😂😂😂😂😂

Wow , what a topic!

Claire just said she’s not living in muyenga at her age like the way her parents did should teach her that things change 😊teach your children everything

Thnx guys for the show

Prim, that Kibuye primary taught you resilience. You can survive any where

i like Claire's authenticity concerning her weight loss journey. we're learning alot

Prim lost a lot of weight she looks so good what did she use

😂😂😂😂@Prim!! Mbu fighting for cassava at the canteen! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Prim...I was in Kitante Primary School and this is how it was...UPE fees😁😁😁

Prim is so relatable. She's narrating my childhood 😂😂😂 can't stop laughing, al we learnt was fighting for our dear lives

We love you guys

But Prim 😂😂😂

Beautiful conversations here...

Welcome back ladies❤ Looking stunning as always

Prim😂😂😂

"i will not wash them myself, because why? I don't see the benefit" 😂😂 I love love Claire. This was my reasoning my entire life amidst my mum's reasoning. Because why??

Today I learn alot from Claire, employment is the slowest way to get rich, don't waste your 20's in marriage. Prim, ever good with humorous flashbacks. The moderation by Fiona, keeps everything on line. Thank you for always lightening our Saturdays with educative content

I love you ladies..ur in my generation

I attended Sunsas and it was like living in a bubble the entire time. Everything was moving swiftly and promptly😅

Love u Prim

Claire isnt being serious!!. Really you've nver done hand laundry?? That's a lie!! We know abt washers but come on be real
