Some say they should be avoided like a plague while some think they can be dealt with. After speaking to women, here is what they had to say. 2012-05-19T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Talking+Marriage++My+sister+destroyed+my+family/-/689842/1407684/-/4ugjrqz/-/index.html I had always heard of men that had affairs with their wives’ siblings and I thought it was simple talk until it happened to me. I happen to be the first born in a family of three boys and two girls. My sister and I had been really close right from childhood and we practically did everything together. So when I got married, the thought of being away from her was too much for me to bear and that could be the reason why I decided to take her in with me into my marital home. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Beauty+experience++I+got+a+fungal+infection+from+the+barbershop/-/689842/1407682/-/1tcgf8z/-/index.html I am one of those women who like to have my hair trimmed every now and then. However, my weakness is that I never stick to one salon. I keep on moving from one to another as long as it looks nice. But three weeks ago, I learnt my lesson the hard way. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Diary+of+a+working+married+woman+To+tell+or+not+to+tell+/-/689842/1407674/-/hunvl5/-/index.html Would you tell your husband about a man that flirted with you in the office, or at a cocktail party? Or would you tell him if the boss was coming on too strong or if the ex, who happens to pray at the same church as you is saying sweet nothings whenever he comes to say hi to you after the service is over? 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Single+in+the+city++Mister+teeth/-/689842/1407676/-/hq4xdrz/-/index.html Actually I could tell a lot from his shirt, a cheap imitation of an expensive brand, and his not quite designer pants. But he smelled great and smiled great and Lord knows those are my two weaknesses. Besides, he knew my friends and I am always open to making one more friend. He had other ideas, either he is the male version for harlot, or someone had painted the words easy lay on my forehead. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/A+man+has+to+man+up++End+of+debate/-/689842/1407678/-/dwyrm6z/-/index.html I have always admired a man who seems to be on top of things thanks to James Bond, Rambo and all those action movies. Then, those Mexican soap operas introduced the sinfully gorgeous man with a six pack and tears of passion running down his cheeks and I was not so sure anymore. To tell the truth, I fell a little in love with this man, hard on the outside but with a soft mushy core. Until recently, when a certain incident killed this fantasy. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/How+to+best+handle+your+child+s+poor+performance/-/689842/1407670/-/tangcez/-/index.html Moses Buzinde is in Primary Six. He has always performed well but last term, he was the worst performer. Every term, his face beams with a smile because he is always among the top 10 performers in his class. His parents’ instantly frawned when they read his report card and have used every opportunity to remind him of how disappointing he was last term. Buzinde is not happy himself; he prefers to keep himself in his bedroom, if only to escape form the constant scolding. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/On+Parenting++The+trauma+of+house+hunting/-/689842/1407672/-/abwxbjz/-/index.html The first problem was getting over the notion of having to move and therefore deal with another landlord. As good Africans there is the view that you should not be going into another rented property, because society will not respect you. You look at your peers and even those who were below you in school who drive fancier cars and it takes another level of courage not to be derailed. So we stuck to the plan and started looking for the house. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Joanita+Kawalya++Afrigo+s+first+lady/-/689842/1407640/-/hcc54l/-/index.html For over 26 years now, Afrigo band’s tunes resonated through generations, with a particular lady as a permanent, outstanding and respectable member of their outfit. For more than her prowess on stage, this woman has earned respect among her band peers and their fans, writes Christine Wanjiru Wanjala 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/One+widow+s+struggle+to+secure+her+inheritance+from+the+in+laws+/-/689842/1407666/-/c80y75z/-/index.html “The problem started after my husband’s death in 1995. My mother in-law assumed that everything my husband left behind belonged to her yet all the property was to be shared between my co-wife and I. I decided to sell some of the property including the chicken since we needed money for basic needs. Sadly, my in-laws ganged up against me claiming that I was not allowed to sell out any of the property I was left with. They insulted and humiliated me in front of our neighbours and finally threw me and my children out of our house, giving us the chicken house. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Comfort+Zone++What+do+men+make+of+women+who+smoke+/-/689842/1407686/-/ho0540/-/index.html I pity them. I try to distance myself from them when I can. No prizes for guessing I do not have any smoker women friends. I think many of them are doing what many Ugandans do; copy some new fad and stick with it even when in their heart of hearts they know it is not cool at all. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Give+your+home+a+mother+s+touch/-/689842/1403158/-/caeq9s/-/index.html On Mother’s Day, we generally give back to mothers. But you, the mother could also give to the family; by doing for them the things that only you can do the way you do them, writes Christine Wanjiru Wanjala 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Winnie+Byanyima++No+ordinary+woman/-/689842/1403164/-/xmaix9z/-/index.html Pace setter. At a time when even colleagues in her political party regarded the idea of a woman running for office as political suicide, she did not only run but won a parliamentary seat. It was only one of her daring acts that proved to women and Ugandans at large that all was possible, writes Brian Magoba 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Extraordinary+mothers/-/689842/1403120/-/usqeugz/-/index.html A 54 year old that took on a one-day-old baby she found abandoned in a trench, a single girl in her 20's who decided to take on a nephew and her gateman’s daughter as her own children, and a grandmother that has mothered three generations. 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/On+Parenting++Honouring+mummy/-/689842/1403236/-/suddp5z/-/index.html I attended a different church last Sunday and the preacher in honour of mothers day insisted that all mothers stand up in the congregation so that they could be recognised. I was a little shy but stood up none the less as we were showered with appreciation. 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Diary+of+a+working+married+woman++Proud+of+the+mum+I+am/-/689842/1403232/-/x4werv/-/index.html I am not one to brag but my goodness, I thank God for the mother I am. You know, many people say that mothering comes naturally, that when you hold that bundle in your arms, you will know how to breastfeed, bathe, put to sleep, soothe and do everything else the baby needs, that you will always feel loving towards those little cute things, but it is not quite like that. 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/How+motherhood+has+changed+me/-/689842/1403130/-/e79rg0z/-/index.html Life does not remain the same once one becomes a parent. This is a fact that cannot be denied or helped. Some mothers attest to this and shared their experiences with Sharon M. Omurungi. 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Appreciating+motherhood+through+experience/-/689842/1403240/-/gpkg7kz/-/index.html I got pregnant after my Senior Six and when I got to know of it, there was totally nothing that I could have done but accepting the responsibility and here we are with baby Noble. It’s hard to be a mother because you start to stand on your own and adjusting to this life style is really so hard having in mind that both the child and his father need you. 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Single+in+the+City++My+dream+guy/-/689842/1403238/-/115763o/-/index.html This week I have been tracking down the man of my dreams. Really, I have had to call friends of friends who could get me his number. It started a few weeks ago. I began wondering what it would feel like to have a man of my own. You know, to laugh and fight with. And since most of the day I’m busy, the only time I can fully fantasise is when I close my eyes before I fall asleep. Needless to say, my dreams are always about a man. Actually, it is a recurring dream of the same man who keeps coming back. 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/First+word++Revelling+in+motherhood/-/689842/1403226/-/14korsbz/-/index.html I ’m not sure I would ever be able to describe my mother in a single word, so I will not even try. But it would be a good place to start reflecting on your mother and what she has been to you this Mother’s Day. 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Mother+in+one+word/-/689842/1403086/-/r41ycvz/-/index.html What is the one word you would use to describe your mother? And what would you tell her that you have never told her or not told her enough? Grace Kengazi and Jonathan Adengo put these two questions to our readers 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Man+Talk++Do+I+have+to+be+as+good+as+your+mother+/-/689842/1403094/-/2ji5cp/-/index.html It is a feeling amongst most married women that when they are not being silently compared to their spouses’ mothers, they are being even openly judged for not measuring up to them. So, is it really that men expect their partners to be as good as their mother’s or is it just a figment of our, the women, imagination? 2012-05-11T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Remembering+my+late+mum/-/689842/1403092/-/1kckhq/-/index.html We wish they could live forever, our parents I mean, but they do not. A day comes and we have to fend on our own without them, and how difficult it is to adjust! But we eventually have to pick ourselves up and live on. We never forget or replace them though, writes Sharon M.

It was an article about how men do not like the way their wives change after they get married. 2012-05-04T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full+Woman/Why+women+are+the+reason+men+tell+lies/-/689842/1398742/-/v0g4yvz/-/index.html I think time is ripe to say enough is enough to this annoying cliché every woman finds her tongue rolling out. All men are the same! Worse still, all men are liars. 2012-05-04T21:00:00Z
