Kenyan men and women are currently abstaining from marriage and most of them have a strong reason behind their reasoning.
In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of Kenyan celebrities who have become parents without being married, thus the terms baby mamas and baby daddies.
This phenomenon is dubbed the “Baby Mama and Baby Daddy” epidemic that’s currently eating up our society today.
While some people deem this as a positive trend, others believe it is setting a bad example for young people growing up.
In this article, I will explore the names of Kenyan celebrities in this hold-up who are somewhat trying to subtly make it cool, plus the cons of this epidemic.
The term “Baby Mama and Baby Daddy” is used in Kenya and almost everywhere else to refer to a couple who have children out of wedlock.
Exploring the celebrities who are ensnared in this epidemic, most of which are often seen as role models for young people, their relationships are considered to be important aspects of their lives even in the eyes of society.
It, therefore, becomes, a hard task for them when they end the relationship.
It becomes extremely hard to balance all the negative comments, accusations, drama, cases, and the what-have-yous that come with being in such an arrangement especially if the parties involved are in a co-parenting arrangement and the general public knows all about it.
While this type of relationship is not necessarily a bad thing, it can often lead to problems down the road, especially for the kids involved. For example, if the couple decides to break up, they may find it difficult to co-parent their children. Additionally, if one or both of the parents is not financially responsible and/or stable, the children may suffer as a result.
When one of the partners entangles with some other new people and moves on, the other party might not have moved on and thus become problematic intentionally and out of greed, total pettiness and sheer jealousy decide to neglect the children. We have all seen this happen, even in our own families, as an example.
Ultimately, while “Baby Mama and Baby Daddy” relationships are not inherently detrimental, they often create challenges for those involved. It is important for couples in this situation to be aware of the potential pitfalls and take steps to avoid them.
Children may find it difficult to adapt to their parents’ varied lives. As a result, they prefer to choose their favorite parents based on how well they fit into each parent’s life and the time spent together to create the much-needed bond.
Kids may also have to deal with parent disagreements with some of them being out there for them to see even if that wasn’t intended. This can be tough for them to handle.
Arguments and splits over important life choices may frequently force children to make decisions that may in turn traumatize them in their growing up and into adulthood.
Things change, and people change but we can always consistently hope for better days ahead, instead of blaming and accusing each other as partners or spouses.
