Depends on what you mean by "behaving like fathers" - there are a lot
of different behaviors, including the one re****ted on by the women
serving me lunch Thursday: the father of her 3-year-old is getting
married to another woman, and asked her, the mother of his child, if,
although he loved his child to bits, her boyfriend couldn't adopt the
child and pay for its upkeep.
