There's nothing wrong with raising another man's children

During a family meeting, I learned that the person I had called grandfather all my life wasn’t even related to me. During a heated moment, as it normally happens when families come together, my grandmother lost all cool and shouted at my grandpa to shut up... because he wasn’t even part of the family anyway! I swear the air was so tense you could cut it with a knife. But two hours later, grandpa was back to his old cheery self. That’s when I suspected he knew all along, but had braved it like a boss because he was glad the woman he loved had hidden his “shame” for well over 60 years.

On average, 70 per cent of men, especially those  in the older generation, raise kids who aren’t theirs. But most feel it isn’t as bad compared to people finding out that those lethal local brew had made them impotent. Sexual shortcomings were more shameful than having to raise a bunch of your neighbour’s kids.
