My ‘Role Model’ Husband!The agony of a Mother, Wife, and Friend.Chapter 4

There were some weekends when the Khumalo’s home got filled up by children from other families; Bongz’s friends will come, Babz’s friends will come, so does Thando’s friends.

Since Fezile got pregnant with her twins after a long time of trying; she devoted her life to spending weekends with her family; she stopped working on weekends, however important the case might be.

The twin and Thando’s friends loved to spend weekends at the Khumalos because Fezile will cook for them, play with them and sometimes take them out for movies or dinners.

Fezile is a good mother who loves her children very much yet she does her best to teach them good manners and values. Her children never boasted around to their friends about their expensive gadgets or clothes; they preferred to share with those friends who had less.

On the twin’s eighteenth birthday; Themba bought his children very expensive phones though the children wanted cars of their own since they had already passed their drivers’ tests. Themba promised to buy them cars in their second year of university; he said that by then, they will be more responsible.

One of Bongz’s friends, S’thembiso, also had rich parents. Mr. and Mrs. Booi; S’thembiso aka S’the’s parents were very rich people, they have four children and S’the, is their firstborn. Mrs. Booi has a fashion shop that sells all known brands while Mr. Booi works in the government department.

S’the was always in competition with the twins; whatever he saw at the Khumalos home, he will also demand it from his parents. It was obvious that the Boois will do anything for their son; whatever he demanded, they bought it for him.

S’the also wanted to try his luck with Babz but Babz was not impressed with S’the’s behaviors and she never gave him the time of the day.

S’the was a snobbish boy; he threw his parents’ riches in other people's faces. As if that was not enough; he saw girls as an object of appetite, that after fulfilling his appetite, he cast them aside and move on to the next person

Bongz didn’t like S’the’s behaviors about girls and he warned him to stay away from Babz. S’the did not like Bongz’s interference in his way of life but since they were friends; he forgave him and moved on.

Those girls who fell prey to S’the’s kind of love; ended up fighting each other because he couldn’t commit to one girl.

Fezile used mealtime to talk to those children who frequented her home; she would talk to them about life, she would share with them the cases she had witnessed concerning children who committed different crimes.

Fezile noticed that some of her children’s friends were a bit odd than others; some were coming from caring families while others were coming from neglectful families with little or no discipline at all.

Fezile always tried to support and encourage the children; that’s why many children loved to be in her home. Children were free to ask her whatever questions they wanted and she always listened to their thoughts and feelings. She is such a role model to many children and parents at large.
