Okukyusa enkola z’amaka ne bataata abali obwannamunigina

Katulowooze ku musajja ayitibwa Kamal. Emyaka mitono emabega, Kamal ne mukyala we baali bateesa ku nsonga z’okwawukana n’afiirwa mukyala we mu ngeri etasuubirwa olw’obulwadde bw’omutima. Mu kiro kimu, Kamal yasigadde n’okusoomoozebwa okusinga obunene mu bulamu bwe. Ekyo kyali kya kukuza muwala we ow’emyaka 12 ku lulwe.

Bataata abali obwannamunigina nga Kamal bangi nnyo mu bantu ennaku zino okusinga bwe kyali kibadde. Ate era waliwo ebika bya bataata bingi eby’enjawulo leero, omuli bataata abaawukanye, bataata abakulu, n’abakuza. Kino kitegeeza nti endowooza ya "taata" efuuse egazi nnyo kati.

Kamal yakitegeera nti taata ali obwannamunigina asobola okukuza obulungi omwana, ng’amaka agalimu abazadde babiri. Naye lugendo lujjudde okusoomoozebwa. Nga Kamal bw'agamba nti, "Okubeera taata ali obwannamunigina kizibu okusinga okubeera maama ali obwannamunigina. Kubanga ekitundu kitunuulira maama ali obwannamunigina nga kya bulijjo. Naye bw'otunuulira taata ali obwannamunigina, abantu bangi balowooza nti, 'Omwana alina okubeera ne maama.'"

Okufaananako bataata bangi abali obwannamunigina, Kamal obuvunaanyizibwa bwe yabutwala nga bukulu. Yava ku mulimu gwe ogw’okukola yinsuwa n’atandika okukola ng’ali waka. Yali ayagala okuyambako mu mirimu gya muwala we ku ssomero, okufumba emmere, n’okubeera naye ebiseera. Agamba nti ekyama ekimuyamba okutuuka ku buwanguzi kwe kwogera mu lwatu n’omwana we. “Naye muwala wange bulijjo yali akimanyi nti ne bwe twayogeranga ku ki, okusalawo okusembayo kwange ng’omuzadde,” Kamal bw’agamba.

Omukwano gwa taata guba gwa maanyi nga omukwano gwa maama.

Mu buwangwa bwaffe, tutera okulowooza nti maama y’asobola okulabirira n’okwagala omwana. Naye ddala bwe kityo bwe kiri? Okunoonyereza kuzudde nti omukwano omuzito taata gw’awulira eri abaana be tegulina kye gufaanana bw’ogeraageranya n’omukwano maama gw’awulira.

Mu butuufu, ng'abasawo b'eby'omutwe bwe bagamba nti, "Bataata kye kintu ekisinga obunene mu bulamu bw'abaana kye tutakozesezza mu bujjuvu." Kubanga n’omwana omuto azaalibwa nga mwetegefu okukwatagana ne nnyina ne kitaawe.

Bataata abali obwannamunigina basobola okufuna okusoomoozebwa okutono nga bakuza omwana omuwala ku lwabwe. Naddala ng’omwana omuwala atuuse mu myaka gy’obuvubuka, ayinza okwetaaga omukyala ow’ekyokulabirako ky’ayinza okwogera naye n’okubuulira naye ebizibu bye. Abakugu mu by’empisa bawa amagezi nti, “Mu biseera ng’ebyo, kikulu okuyingizaamu abantu abakazi abasobola okuba ekyokulabirako ekirungi mu bulamu bw’omwana.” Kino kiyinza okuba ssenga, jjajja, oba mukwano gwa famire ow’oku lusegere.

Ekifaananyi kya taata eky’omulembe	Ebintu eby’enjawulo n’ensonga ezeeyoleka
Taata atali mufumbo	Zimba omukwano ogw’amaanyi ennyo n’omwana wo. Kizibu okubeera ng’olina okwetikka obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna obw’omwana yekka. Bw’aba muwala, kikulu okuyingiza abakyala abalungi ab’ekyokulabirako mu bulamu bwe.
Taata omukulu	Okubeera omutebenkevu mu by’ensimbi ne mu by’emirimu kikusobozesa okuwa omwana wo okufaayo n’obudde. Okufiirwa amaanyi g’okuzannya n’abaana bo oba okudduka n’abaana bo kiyinza okukusoomooza.
Yanoba Taata	Okuva bwe kiri nti obudde obw’okubeera n’omwana buyinza okuba obutono, kikulu okukozesa obulungi obudde obwo. Kikulu nnyo okwewala okunenya eyali mukyala mu maaso g’omwana n’okuwa omwana omukwano gwammwe mwembi.

Bw’okola ensobi n’olaba ng’oyigira ku nsobi ezo, abaana bo bayiga nti si kibi okukola ensobi n’obeera abatatuukiridde. Ekyo ky’ekirabo ekisinga okuba eky’omuwendo ky’osobola okuwa omwana.

“Tulowooza nti bw’okomawo awaka okuva ku mulimu omuzibu n’otwala abaana bo okulya pizza ne firimu ku Lwokutaano ekiro, that’s ‘quality time.’” Naye mu butuufu, okunoonyereza okwakoleddwa ku baana kulaga nti abaana baagala taata atalina situleesi nnyo era atalina situleesi nnyo . Baagala obutabeera na bizibu bya mulimu ne bamala “okusanyuka” ne kitaabwe, kwe kugamba, okumala ebiseera mu mirembe.

Ebintu bino biba bya muwendo okusinga ssente emirundi lukumi.
