In a heartbeat, I would marry against ma parents wishes. I am an adult and it is ma life. I can't be pushed around that easily. If the marriage does not work out. . . then it is ma business! The ones sanctioned be parents are not 100% insured with success so what is the problem?

If they cannot be happy for me. . . .tooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! They have done such a fantastic job as parents and if they choose not to have me in their lives for the chances I choose to find happiness. . . .tough! Life goes on!
IT'S MA LIFE!

Thank God I do not have such parents anyway. Whatever makes us happy is what they support. They are not meddlesome, semi-illiterate, village-minded, gap-toothed, gossip loving, unemployed, busy-bodies or control freaks!
Only jobless, unhappy parents who regret their own prison-like marriages seek to re-live their unhappy lives through their children's by objecting to their children's marriages. Any child as an adult who listens to his or her parents flimsy objections is setting himself or herself up for "borrowed or transplanted" unhappiness.
"I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MASELF". . .so don't need anyone's help at all. They really should learn to act as parentssupportive not busy bodies!
