[DEBATE] : Re: whining

[Peter Mahlangu]

My mother is of the firm view that she will raise my
little boy. As I'm planning to move to JHB, she says
she will keep the boy. I can't quarrel with that (I
was also raised by my grandmother, as my mother was
working). I extol the vitues of grandparents (esp.
grandma) raising young ones. I've seen it in many
other families. It has a lot of merit.
