Bajan Inlaws
Help, does anyone else have elderly Bajan inlaws, ie, 80+ years old, burning brush fires in the yard, yielding cultlases, stewing tamarinds and pickling cherries (for more than one year), refusing to leave the house without 1 months notice, and fearing pickpockets and car hijackers?
Help!!! I just can't handle this!!!My husband thinks they are totally normal, me no. My 2yo son told his Grandmother that she should call the Fire Department when he saw her latest (enormous) fire....
What to do???

Hi
Count yourself lucky - on a visit there when I was 4, I was subjected to a chicken being caught for dinner, complete with neck popping - then offered pigs snout and trotters to eat, followed by sharing the toilet (outside) with the most enormous roach I had ever seen.
Fires are ok.....lol
On a serious note, experiencing Barbados and its people is a beautiful gift for any child. The earlier we learn people are different and do different things, the more tolerant we are in later life....
