Kenyan digital creator Pritty Vishy has once again sparked nationwide discussion with a candid message shared through her Instagram stories, offering a sobering reflection on motherhood, marriage, and the long-term responsibilities that come with raising a child.
In her post, Pritty urged women to think deeply before choosing to have children, highlighting the reality that even within marriage, a woman could still end up raising her child alone.
“When you have a child, just know that there’s a chance of being a single mother even if you are married. So before you have that child, make sure that you can tolerate that man for the rest of your life because kids are forever,” she wrote.
“You’ll be a mother a lot longer than he’ll be a father,” she concluded.
A Reflection on Responsibility
Pritty’s statement underscored the lifelong nature of motherhood and the importance of emotional compatibility between partners before bringing a child into the world.
Her words carry an underlying message about the permanence of parental duty, especially for mothers, who often remain the primary caregivers in cases of separation or divorce.
The post also highlights a broader social observation that while marriage is a partnership, parenting frequently demands a deeper, long-term commitment that can outlast romantic relationships.
Pritty’s remarks appear to advocate for foresight and self-awareness in family planning, urging women to evaluate their relationships beyond temporary affection or societal expectations.
A Voice of Modern Caution
Pritty Vishy has earned a reputation for her raw honesty on social topics ranging from love to personal growth. Her ability to address sensitive issues with directness has made her a notable voice in Kenya’s digital media landscape.
Through her latest post, she offers not just a warning but a reflection rooted in experience and observation that bringing a child into the world is a permanent decision requiring deep emotional consideration.
In a society still negotiating the balance between traditional expectations and modern realities, Pritty’s message stands out as both practical and cautionary.
It challenges women and men alike to approach parenthood with awareness, respect, and preparedness — because, as she aptly put it, “kids are forever.”
