Trinbagonians talk. (221) Yuh make yuh chirren, buh yuh doh make dey mind! No truer words have been spoken by the old Trinbago folks.

I remember in Trinidad and Tobago when a child turned 21, they were given a key as a birthday gift. It signified adulthood; the time for them to branch out on their own. Face life. Today children get a key for their parent’s front door as young as 9 years old. After your child graduates from high school/college and starts working, take back your key. It is time for them to invest in their own home. Get an apartment and move out. We are the only beings on this planet who make sure our children get a good start in life.
