Picture depicting a healthy father-son relationship. Let’s have a look at men with daddy issues… ![]() Mommy or Daddy issues are the psychological effects lasting into adulthood that are caused by childhood relationships with a mother or father. When we hear “Daddy issues” (a term usually thrown around casually) we often think it is only women who have them but surprise, surprise both men and women can have mommy or daddy issues. It is always so obvious to see how many people have strained relationships with their fathers as is the case every year on Father’s day where we see very few posts on fathers being praised about being great dads, whereas on Mother’s day we get to see endless posts of the same people praising their mothers. Well, that or some other form of psychological or personality issues. Men, is the guy described above, you? Well, you might be having some serious Daddy issues. Ugh! I could go and on, because sadly this is the main relational scene with our Kenyan men where as a woman wanting to be in a relationship that’s working, you are put through hard times even before you really get into that relationship… Sigh! Or a man who does not speak about his dad at all (yet he has a dad who is alive and well) and does not like being likened to his dad at all? Or a man who tries way too hard to win the affection or acceptance from his dad but always comes up empty. Or a guy who is just plain mean with his emotions, reveals very little about himself or his past broken relationships, never compliments you on anything and ghosts you when you show signs of being ready to go all in? Or a guy who very early on in the “getting to know each other” phase of a relationship just doesn’t pay keen attention to whatever you say, never remembers mundane details about you that you shared with him, never follows through with anything without being reminded over and over again, has limited empathy towards you and your problems and is just not present for your interactions… yet they claim to like you? Ladies, have you ever met a guy who made the first move on you and once he got your attention he passed on the baton to you to do all the heavy lifting of chasing after him and looking for him? The AUDACITY! Right?
