If you have survived the thinly veiled threats, in the form of emails from our frenemy, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), you deserve to chill.
If your marriage is still intact, and you are enjoying a warm loving, healthy relationship with your spouse, you are amongst the less than 40 percent of happily married couples in Kenya, relax.
This is that time of the year when I remind wives that this festive season is for the hubby, his children, and his relatives. We are expected to don deras and roll chapatis, sweat out in the village, trim our nails, and wear headscarves. This is the season to prove your mettle as a wife material worthy of those three cows and five goats that they paid for your dowry.
But during this festive season, please do you. There are no medals for trying to break your back and no one will even notice it when you chip a nail or get a nasty blister from the hot oil splashing on your neck as you fry and grill. Most importantly though, there will be no one complimenting your sweaty efforts when you finally lay out the grand meals. Instead, you will slump back, bone tired.
