I am married with seven children (including the two who married my son and daughter). I think I am fairly well-qualified to make the statement that while chidlren need their parents’ input and advice, not everything that comes out of a parent’s mouth is wisdom, objective, or good for that particular child. There are an awful lot of immature, arrogant, controlling parents out there, along with the sagacious, sensitive, and loving ones who want the objective best for their child’s happiness. I didn’t see many immature comments here, and the notion that an 18 year old is truly ready for marriage and knows what he or she is getting into, is ridiculous in today’s world. yes, SOME may be – – but most are immature and unrealistic and have had their minds filled with a great deal of idealistic information that can potentially backfire when the real world encroaches on them and bills come due. When a little girl plays with dolls, she has no idea what taking care of a real live baby entails, much less baby after baby. Mrs. Beautiful, maybe you are the exception, but too many parents do NOT have their children’s best interests at heart, but their OWN. They just put the spin on it that they are only thinking of their children. Why do you think so many of our young people are getting divorced nowadays, sometimes after less than a year of marriage?
