@thecindynoir While I agree 19 is still childish, it is an age that's old enough to know better. She was literally AT the hospital. If she didn't want it, she could have just left it there with medical staff. What she did was murder a child & she'll need to take responsibility for her actions

I never had ANY doctor up in my lady bits for more than 5 mins max. However, many young women do not know what to expect because they are not taught. Teaching our young ppl about these things (agency & consent) is more important than many realize.

@yajedaw @Danielxkem Interesting how you had all the energy for the perceived single black women but an Asian husband tells you that your pov is bitter and this is all you gotta say... 🤔🤔

One of the most painful things I heard recently was from a woman who last visited Barbados in the 80s... She said for a nation who was so proud & progressive,who she looked up to, she was so disappointed when she came earlier this year to find that little to nothing had changed

I don't know... I don't have a point or argument here just thoughts. It feels like we're directionless and spinning in circles. We started on this grand voyage and have forgotten where we were going and why we were heading there

I'm a disillusioned daughter of the soil. Bajans have been screaming into the void & I continue to watch my ppl suffering. I go to households daily & hear how they've been trying to access simple govt facilities and CANT unless they know somebody or find the MP. #betterbim

@thecindynoir While I agree 19 is still childish, it is an age that's old enough to know better. She was literally AT the hospital. If she didn't want it, she could have just left it there with medical staff. What she did was murder a child & she'll need to take responsibility for her actions

@AyooTexanNation @MsNiaRice The problem with 50/50 mindset, is the transactional basis. There is no such thing as 50/50 in genuine healthy relationships. You have to show up as yourself 100% of the time because at some point, 1 of you will falter & the other will pick up the slack.

@chefanie246 If you had no claims for the year you should be getting a no claim discount so challenge them on it. If they play they don't want to budge, get a cheaper quote from another insurance company and tell them match it or you're gone. That works VERY well

Very well said. Parents and guardians need to be vocal about this matter. If finances aren't there for simple assessments, adequate counsellors/Social workers now, how then are they proposing to finance this massive overhaul with said "changes" they don't address now?

This was my take when this was mentioned. The privilege screamed volumes but on the other hand I understood what they were trying to convey. The issue they missed was govt also has the responsibility to facilitate economic growth I.e ease of business, Intl remittance etc
