Daniella Atim wife to celebrated and famous singer Dr Jose Chameleone has come out to expose the rot, backwardness and archaic beliefs in the singer’s family. This is not the first time the mother of 4 is coming out on the attack against her in-laws.
She last month went full beast mode against Weasel‘s domestic violence behavior against his baby mama Sandra Teta. Shockingly Daniella said that their mother Prossy Mayanja condones her son’s behaviors. Through a long Instagram post, she’s now revealed how she was so excited as she got married to the love of her life.
She couldn’t wait to start up a family with him. By this time, she had met almost the Kipepewo singer’s entire family and friends. Daniella then interacted with her parents inlaw. These told her how she had to give birth to a son as the first born. Although it irritated her, she had no choice and resorted to prayers and fasting in order to make her in-laws happy.
They believed that a son as the first born cements the man’s status in the society. Daniella Atim made a pact with God that if he granted her a boy, he would serve her. Fortunately for her, she gave birth to a son who she named Abba (Father). Then came the second and third born kids who were all sons. This saw her parent’s in-law shift the goal posts as they started to demand for a girl.
By this phase, Daniella was however no longer unmoved as she had learnt to live by her own beliefs and values. She quickly became the subject of family WhatsApp groups backlash but she didn’t care. Her true colors and virtues which her guardian Fr John had instilled in her started to surface and soon she was proud of the woman she had become.
Quickly, she stopped her kids from visiting her paternal grandparents without her in company. This is because she didn’t want her kids being fed on some information she didn’t deem fine by her in-laws. Soon she gave birth to a daughter she named Alba but the standards set by her in-laws no longer unfazed her as she had moved past it.
Below is Daniella Atim full Instagram post:
“I remember all the tingles I felt when I fell in love,I couldn’t wait to have kids with the person I loved i had met his family and most of his friends,his parents told me they wanted a “boy child” as a first child (even though this sounded very impolite to my ears ).i was in love and embarked on a journey to seek out and cry to God to give me a son as my first child,i fasted for a son,I offered tithe for a son and I even went as far as making a pact with God, I told him “God if you give me a son for my first child, I will ensure that he serves you Ofcourse I had a son, God gave me the son I wanted and we gave him just the perfect name Abba.
I was smart enough to know that it didn’t matter what gender my child was but here I had fallen in love with a man from a very traditional family,to them a boy child sealed a man’s status in society and now it was my duty to do that. And then I had a second son and even a third son and this time they moved goal posts,they wanted a girl but trust me by this time I had started to outgrow the standards they had set for me as their son’s wife,I was done walking on egg shells and I wanted the courageous girl Fr John raised to come out of her shell,I wanted to be the brave,principled girl every one refered to me as it was time to start living the values Fr John had instilled in us .HUMBLE and FIERCE.
I immediately stopped my kids from visiting their paternal grandparents if I was not in their company,I did not want my kids getting certain ideas in their heads .i became the VILLAIN who was the topic of discussion in family WhatsApp groups but secretly I was thumping my chest in victory,I had won this battle and I could raise my kids as they kept pointing fingers.
Alba was born, she was an instant sunshine,my in-laws were excited but by this time they already knew not to make tasteless comments around me,the warrior in me had woken up and has never gone to sleep since then.
Anyway,National daughter’s day was a few days ago but in our home it is children’s day everyday,we celebrate the biggest gift God has given humanity…LIFE.”
