So, Lauryn Hill has given birth to her sixth child - the father of whom remains a mystery to most (I'm assuming there are those privileged enough to be in the know). Her other five children were fathered by Rohan Marley, son of Bob Marley.
For those of you that are not familiar with the story, Cliff's notes version follows: rumor had it that Rohan left Lauryn while she was pregnant for some Brazilian model chick. However, today Lauryn put the rumors to rest, by taking her story to the new Barbara Walters - Twitter. She stated....
This got me to ponderin' (deep thinking in the south)- red-head stepped child number six aside, here is an intelligent, independent, established woman that has consented and committed to having not one, not three, but 5 children with this man out of wedlock. Perhaps I'm not hip to the new way of doing things, but I do not understand how/why individuals can agree to bring multiple children into the world - a life long commitment in its own right - but cannot come to a point where they can commit to marriage. I can't see myself entering into a relationship with a man thinking..."yeah, I think he'll be good enough to make a baby with, but I don't think he's husband material."
This is an old post from 2011 that was sitting in my drafts. I decided to post it anyway, in an effort to breath some life into this blog! :-)
ReplyDeleteStill valid... Welp!
