Guest editors on male bonding
Nigel Jones - Male Bonding is one of those guy things we can't truly explain. There is something about attending an all-boys institution, for instance, that brings about a certain level of camaraderie. Even though Nigel attended a co-educational secondary school...
Of men and fathers
Every time a man demonstrates failure to live up to society's expectations, we hear that the problem stems from the marginalisation of that gender. Happily, many men do shoulder their responsibilities, and Flair found four of them. For our Father's Day edition...
A man and his Folly
The seventh annual Portland Jerk Festival will take place at the Folly Ruins in picturesque Portland this year. But do you remember why Folly got its name? Many stories have been told about Folly in Port Antonio, and how it got its name. The Folly mansion, for instance....
Keeping the record straight - Father's information on birth certificates
Every child needs the love and support of a father. More important, every child deserves the right to his/her father's identity. Giving the child this right starts with including the full particulars of the father on the child's birth certificate.
Being a dad is a hard job to do
Seems like no matter how hard some fathers try, they get no ratings from their youth. When was the last time an athlete or a musician who was collecting some big award thanked his father only? Exactly! They either thank mom, grandma or sometimes both parents...
UPS and downs
My belief is that fatherhood should be based on the execution of the responsibilities of the male parent in the development of his child, throughout that child's life. This overseeing of a child's welfare should not be terminated by that child reaching the determined legal age.
Best dad in the world!
It is not often that any child gets the opportunity to publicly pay homage to his father and so for this opportunity, I am eternally grateful. My father is Norman Washington Jones. He is a career civil servant. He worked with the Jamaica Railway Corporation...
Thank you dad
My father, my best friend. I was better able to appreciate him when I went to live with him when I was about 10 years old (my parents separated when I was much younger). It was from there that he helped to shape my life.
Papa Bruce
The funny thing about having a father who is a public figure is that everyone assumes they know who he is and how he is, based on his public image. Sometimes I'm amazed at how far from reality these impressions can be when confronted by the public.
STYLE & FASHION
Tariq Nembhard - The most eligible bachelor loves home cooking and is exploring the culinary department. He doesn't have a favourite cologne just anything that smells good. In watches he loves Movado, in shirts, he is an Armani guy.
The cost of a relationship
It is said that money issues can make or break a relationship. Couples could have a falling out if one spends too much or if the other is too tight. And what if a woman is the bigger earner? On the other hand, men tend to shy away from a new breed of gold diggers...
Can illegitimate children challenge Dad's will?
JM wrote: My father died leaving his entire estate to his two sons in his will. A woman claims that he had fathered a third child, X, who is a minor. He admitted that he had a brief relationship with X's mother, but said that X was not his child. He never supported X.
