Diana Bahati conducted a heartfelt conversation with her daughters, Mueni and Heaven Bahati, on her YouTube channel.
The conversation explored their joys and sorrows, family values, and school experiences.
Bahati aimed to provide a secure environment for her daughters to express themselves, with Mueni sharing her distress from being scolded by others.
“Mueni, I want to know what makes you sad,” Diana asked.
“When you shout at me? Like maybe I do something bad and you’re angry then you shout at me, that thought makes me sad,” Mueni answered.
“Are you talking about Aunty Dee or just people in general? Surprised Diana questioned
“Just people in general… mummy, you, and sometimes my friends and a lot of other people,” said Mueni.
Similarly, Heaven Bahati expressed that being shouted at, especially by her younger brother Majesty Bahati, was a source of sadness for her.
Diana also took the opportunity to ask her daughters what they loved about their daddy and herself.
Mueni expressed admiration for her father’s caring nature, generosity, and forgiving spirit.
“Daddy is caring and he provides a lot of things for us. He loves us. Another thing about Daddy is that he is also forgiving. He forgives a lot of people,” she said.
She also highlighted Diana’s caring nature, her willingness to let the ‘aunties’ play loud music and her provision of comforts and experiences like vacations.
“You always care and love us. You always let the aunties put the loud songs if they want and you do not even care what they do. And also you are beautiful. You also provide a lot of things for us like pillows and toys and you and Daddy also provide a lot of vacations,” she said.
Before concluding the conversation, Diana offered an apology to her daughters for any times she made them feel sad or upset.
She acknowledged that sometimes she, like anyone else, could feel overwhelmed and react in ways that unintentionally hurt others.
“First of all for that part of shouting and making you feel sad, I apologise. Mummy is so sorry and even daddy is sorry. Sometimes mummy is overwhelmed. It can be me, your mummy, or anybody. Even you sometimes shout at other people. It’s natural to get sad and angry but what we can do is control our emotions and not make anybody else angry,” she said.
