Must be something ...For as long as it lasts Gordon. Must be something in the Caribbean blood. Very few people marry here, just foreigners and the upper class usually. Child support is important though and the men are jailed if they do not pay the amount laid down by the courts. It is very common for a man to have six kids with six different women.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032023667222395286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652113856727227960.post-74238881554160425332014-06-02T05:56:26.082-04:002014-06-02T05:56:26.082-04:00Congratulations on the birth of your "step gr...Congratulations on the birth of your "step grandchild". <br />All the best to the parents and baby.<br />How awful that doctors perform C sections just for profit in a country where most people don't have that sort of money!

Do you mean there is a commitment between the two, or is it just for "as long as it lasts"? In my part of the Caribbean, it would mean the latter. Men of the English-speaking Caribbean are pretty casual in that respect.<br /><br />I know whereof I speak! My son (brought up in the Caribbean) lives in Norway (where it's the women who tend to be pretty casual in that respect), and has two children by two different Norwegian women - plus a daughter that he inherited from the first baby-mother and whom he regards as his own.<br /><br />How very different from the home life of our own dear Queen!<br />(For the origin of that lovely quotation, search Google.)Gordon Barlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525819944507167458noreply@blogger.com
