Mimi shifted to the edge of her seat in her long-time friend, Tari’s cozy parlour, and poured the complaints like a flood. It was Saturday afternoon, in the middle of the raining season.
She had married her husband, Steve, knowing he had a four-year old son, Timi, from a previous relationship that broke up eventually. Steve was a loving husband, but he doted on Timi as well. He’d told her Timi’s mother had dumped him when the boy was just a year old. They were as thick as thieves; father and son.
At the time, she had sought Tari’s opinion, knowing Tari had two kids, Nengi six, and Boma two. And Tari had urged her to follow her heart, especially if she loved Steve, and he loved her in return.
Her marriage was barely six months old but as she talked to Tari, who had been married for almost eight years, it was obvious she was not prepared her for life with Steve and Timi. She sounded frustrated.

She told Tari she had loved the adorable Timi at first sight. The boy was funny, cute, a miniature of his father, and he seemed to adore Mimi in return. The one-year relationship she had with Steve had been awesome. She was sure she had her perfect life aid out before her.
But all that changed after marriage. Timi was so naughty; she had never imagined he could be up to all the mischief he exhibited as soon as she moved into the house as ‘mummy.’ He was rude, disobedient, stubborn, and threw tantrums where anything that came into sight could be used as his weapon.
To cap it all up, Steve believed, and had told her she needed to be patient with Timi. “He’s just a little boy!” He had said. He just could not see anything wrong with the boy. She had recently taken to spanking him, and that upset Steve.
As she narrated her tale, Tari stared at her blankly, lost in her personal thoughts. Till Mimi leaned forward and pushed her at the knee, where she sat on the sofa across from her, and snapped, “Aren't you listening to me?”
