Stop playing wifey to a mere boyfriend, unless he pays for your manicure, pedicure, rent and school fees


Friday is mostly for sleepovers and in-house dates. Modern day dating has become very easy for boychild that nowadays, it is just a matter of tuma fare and boom! Bae is knocking at the door, fornication bag in hand.

I know women with children wouldn’t be available for sleepovers, so we’ll have a talk with the younger ladies.
