Am only 36 years old and have decided am not having anymore children. I already have a 17 year old, and the other died 12 years ago as a baby.
What makes people thing they have the right to dictate how many children i should have!!! Is it such a social misnomer not to want anymore.
Parenthood is so time consuming and challenging, and in today's world so filled with so many temptations to lure the young from their youth.
Why can't I be considered a person in my own right without some busybody looking over my shoulder wondering when am going to increase the country's population figures?
The next time someone asks me the same old question of when am I having another child, i will look then in the eye and tell them as soon as we have a legal contract that they will contribute 75% towards the child's upkeep!!
I wonder how they will respond.

About Me
- Afrocentric
- Originally from the Dark continent, though have never seen up to now what is dark about it. Specifically the land of many rivers and lakes, Zambia located in the Southern part of Africa. Migrated to Antigua where I work as a journalist and producer. Quirky, friendly, serious when need to be, but what the heck life is too short to be stuck up most of the time!!! Young at heart and don't want to grow up too much and miss out on appreciating the simple things in life. Always ready to explore new ideas and sometimes put them to the test. We need more love ... not the love you automatically think of but being more tolerant of those who are different from us and accepting that we are not the same!!
Retirement
Need to be prudent even in old age.

Your blog has so much on it already...it's hard to imagine you started so recently, as part of the assignment. Good going! Where is the place in the picture?

Hello ladies. Thanks for your kind comments.
Am standing at the newly built Verandah hotel here in Antigua. Its a paradise that I just discovered and hope to spend a weekend just to soak up the atmosphere at this hidden cove.
