Baby-mother

Being taken to court by his baby-mother is considered shameful to a Jamaican man because it demonstrates that he has lost control over her.

In the past when baby-fathers were reluctant to give support, baby-mothers had to make long treks as supplicants but the phone now saves them considerable, inconvenient and costly travelling.

I only discovered later that he had baby-mothers all over the place. That’s why, when I caught pregnant for him again, I had it took away.
