Most of you made some logically sound reasonings toward's Pippy's dillema. But here are a few I thought I'd respond to.

That is my opinion.

I like your approach best, Fiery-preacher. I'd make the same approach with my paroz. Naturally, paros often want the best for the kids, and as someone once said, sometimes they see things our young, inexperienced eyes overlook cuz we are head over heels "in love" with the chile over there. I had a first hand experience on this one, y'all- lemme tell y'all. So one day I went to church, and this Caribbean mammi was checking me out guess cuz I was looking tidy, and I sang that day in church, too. That day, when her aunt who's also a good friend of mine, introduced me to her, my mom saw right through me that something was up. On our way home, she was like "That gurl is pretty and all, but I'm not feeling her like that- she'll burn you up, son, so don't even think about it." (needles to say, mammi was fine as hell.) After a short arguement, I dismissed her advise and pursued the mammi anyway. Long story short, we "dated" for some months and everything looked alright. Well, there some ways she'd act that made me not to totally commit cuz I kept thinking like "What if this heffer is up to no good? Hebu acha ni tizame kwanza." Then she had to go visit her mother land, Antigua, for the summer. Suddenly, the phone calls became less and less, till one day, I am directed to her profile on hi5 by one of her friends, and there's a pic of her in bed with some other chali. Kume mammi had been cheating the entire time, y'all! Anyway, this is why I'd say don't overthrow your mother's/parents advise entirely out the window, give it some though before you dismiss it cuz they might have a point, Pippy.

And that character is... well, let's say that you know your baby is going to land in trouble sooner or later. What would you do???
