I just do not know why he felt the need to hide a whole baby from me? He must have thought that I would never have found out." Essence's motto is that "you can't raise a grown ass man! It's too many bitches out here trying to do just that. I mean they are cooking, cleaning, giving them money and dressing them up for the next "ho" in Hampton Roads.
