Would You Let Your Parents Choose Whom You Will Marry?
« on: February 25, 2006, 01:21 PM »

I have seen so many parents trying to make choices for their children when it comes to marriage.  Would you allow your parents to make these choices?

Thats exactly what i'm facing right now, being the last born and only-son, the pressure is just overwhelming,  Everyone wants u to at least get hooked up so they'll know that there is hope Cheesy.

But, they have to wait oh, because i'm not going to allow anyone choose for me oh,  when i'm ready, i'll make my choice,  right now i'm just sampling Grin

i know rite  in this day in age who lets their parents decide who they should marry
after all are your parents the ones who are going to leave with the person, wake up in morning and
see their face evryday, i don't think so,
i never really understood why some parents pick wives/husbands for their children
i know my parents aint gon decide for me,, i bring him home and all they need to
do is accept him and thats it, you feel me Cheesy

Its not the right of parents but that of the children to chose who they would like to spend the rest of their lives with. Na your papa wan sleep with am or na your mama? Who will cope with their bad or even evil habits?

So the choice remains that of the child

They can only advise on what kind of person to marry, but to choose, d hell no! And the truth is that, they know this fact!  Grin Grin Grin Even if they insist, it can't work with me. Cool

If they'll choose for me that means they'll fall in love for me.

They give me the necessary advice and steps to take and not choose for me.

Not a chance.

I wouldn't even entertain the idea of my parents suggesting who I should marry.

Sorry my parents are not the "village minded" type.  They believe in free will too.  They only advise but do not make choices for their children! Kiss
