The devoted mother of five spent quality time with her teenage son, opening up about life.
From relationships to school and education, they discussed various life dynamics in their beautiful mansion.
One topic they focused on was school, as Morgan shared his experiences at his new school.
Was Morgan accustomed to soft life?
Diana pointed out the difference between the posh international school Morgan previously attended and the local school in Makueni county.
The singer observed that her son had grown used to a soft life, enjoying many privileges, especially when it came to food.
“The reason we transferred you to a local school is that we realised you were taking a lot for granted. Right now, you can appreciate what you have in life, having interacted with many kids who are less fortunate. We knew the direction you were heading, and we saw it wasn’t good for you,” Diana shared.
Why doesn't Morgan participate in family vlogs?
She gave an example of how her son behaved whenever the family was filming a vlog.
Diana noted that Morgan was often quiet and not as lively as his younger siblings, who always brought energy to the videos.
“Whenever you ask him to say something, he would say, ‘I have nothing to say.’ It’s like he always looks at his younger siblings and thinks, ‘I’m too mature for this; this is childish.’ We wanted him to break out of that shell and learn to appreciate every little thing handed to him,” Diana said.
Kenyans divided over Diana's decision to change Morgan's school
Social media users were divided over the reasons given in the excerpt, flooding the comment section with mixed reactions:
sallywanjiku9348:
“Mum and Dad have done such a wonderful job raising an eloquent, ambitious, sober-minded, handsome son in Morgan. May God fulfill all the desires of your heart, according to His will.”
1234:
“But he doesn’t want to be in the video 🙄 Does he have to pretend to want to be on camera just to prove he’s grateful? Really???”
DaughterofB.V.M:
“Imagine that Morgan will get the life he desires. He’s a child of grace, and God placed him there so he can reach his destiny. He must break the barriers in his lineage, such a brilliant kid!”
mercy_life_therapist:
“Even in this very talk, he seems off. Maybe leave him out of your videos until he’s ready or willing!”
nancymwende3638:
“As a product of Makueni boarding schools, I get you. But still, your parents did the best thing, boarding school teachers teach us to appreciate the little we get and how to endure life.”

Ministry of Education's guidelines on school transfers
According to guidelines issued by the Ministry of Education, when transferring a child from one school to another, four copies of the Transfer and Admissions Forms must be obtained from the Sub-County Director of Education's office.
The student should fill out part A of the form and submit it to the receiving Principal to confirm the vacancy.
The releasing school should also fill out a copy.
Take the Form to the releasing Sub-County Director of Education for approval of transfer. Leave one form at the office and also take the form to the receiving Sub-County Director of Education for confirmation of transfer. Leave two copies of the forms at the office.
The remaining signed copy should be sent to the receiving school.
Why did Morgan return home after joining boarding school?
In another story, Morgan returned is to be sent just a few days after joining his new boarding school, citing homesickness.
Diana noted that her son was struggling to adjust to a different school life after being accustomed to a more comfortable lifestyle.
One of the challenges was that Morgan was used to waking up at 10am, whereas in the new school, students woke up at 5am.
