Angelina Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hi ALL How close should the child let their parents get involved in their romantic life? Meaning how far should we let them tell us if the person we are dating is the right person for us or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Child? Romantic life? Before I answer, I need to know what age range we're talking about. I say if the child is still (even fractionally) dependent on the parents, then the parents have something to say ... probably proportional to that fraction. But if the child is passed the point of independence and can hold his or her own, then parents should provide advice but that's as much as it goes. With our current generations, the parents are expected to foot the bill for the multi million dollar wedding ceremonies (ok, I tend to exagerate just a bit ) ... for that kind of money, they have the right to say A LOT!!!! So it comes down to how much they are part of ones life. In my case, I'll always pay attention to what they have to say. But I am passed the point where the decisions are completely in my hands.

LoL i guess they really have the right to say a lot . Well the age does not really matter you can be in your 20's or above i guess we are always children in our parents eyes.

Sip Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 ... we are always children in our parents eyes.Very true. But that shouldn't mean they run your life ... there's a great thread here (click) about how much the kids owe their parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted October 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Thanks for posting that threat If I seen that question before i wouldn't post mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Thanks for posting that threat If I seen that question before i wouldn't post mine. No no no ... no threats here ... we're pretty friendly in general. Seems to me your question is more specific... about the romantic stuff. Shiner's is more in general ... this to me asks how much they should tell you how to live your life. The other question is saying how much you should try to "give back" (going by their wishes may be one way, but surely there are other ways) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelina Posted October 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 No no no ... no threats here ... we're pretty friendly in general. Nice to hear that I enjoy friendly environement. Seems to me your question is more specific... about the romantic stuff. Shiner's is more in general . Thats true also. Sorry if i was not able to expain the way i was supposed to but what i was trying to say is when you are in relationship and you are feeling you have found the right person, however your parents do not want you to be romanticly invovled with the person that you have feelings for because they think he/she is not the right one to be with. Should she or he allow parents to get so involved in their personal life? I know this is probably a hard question for most of us because on the right side is your parents but on the other one is the person that you feel is the right one for you, but since you do not have that blessing from your parents it makes it so much harder to come up with a right conclusion.
