I wish remarriage with children wasn’t so common in our culture…

I’m certain my grandfather was responsible for at-least a full percentage of the annual Somali General Fertility Rate in different periods of the last 40 years. Now all of his kids, who are adults, sent him money, from across the world, on a monthly basis. The man is living large. A while back he put my aunt in her feelings because he didn’t remember who she was because she is one of a dozen daughters 🥹

I could never be this way. I have to know my son(s) and daughter(s), see them grow up and positively contribute to their existence on this planet.
I had a great grandfather like this. He was polygamous as well as constantly divorcing one wife, marrying another etc. He had so many kids that he named two of my grandmother’s sisters the same name because he forgot he already had a child with that name :mjlol:
 
What people need is education not a ban. It should be up to the individual to decide whether or not remarrying is in their best interest.

It’s unfortunate your parents didn’t think about instilling love for one another in all the kids from a young age. They were supposed to nurture a bond between y’all. Even then, once people are of a certain age they understand things better and should build bridges with their siblings. It’s wrong of them to still treat you like an outsider. Have you ever voiced this to them?
