I keep forgetting... the premise of "the rescuers" is that we, the parents, are evil!

[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 331673, member: 8405"] Thanks Three Shadows! I've ALWAYS found it funny (funny strange, not funny "ha ha") that it seems the childless are the most vocal about their "expert" opinions!!! My brother-in-law used to be like that.... One day, when he was a new daddy, he began complaining to me that his (childless) brother was offering all sorts of unsought "expert" advice... I replied... "I'm so glad you're getting to see this from the other side now!!!" ...and laughed. He asked in horror... was I like that??? I winked and laughed "the worst!" He's a fabulous daddy now... 3 bios and over the last few years has been fostering sibling groups... He and his wife won "foster parent of the year" last year. As far as weddings go... My husband and I LOVE weddings!!! We have been dreaming about celebrating our children's nuptials since they were small. I'm not eager to see the younger two get attached to ANYONE until they get their heads on straight!!!!!!!!! (daughter-difficult child has been pledging her lifelong love to a string of guys who show little to no actual interest in her at all. Last one she was chasing had dropped his pants the first few minutes of meeting to "show off his ink" so that's what they call it these days!!!) I'm willing to wait for the "right" one for each of them. husband and I have been praying for their spouses since they were very young. I'm willing to do for those nebulous celebrations dates what I'm willing to do at that point. I will not go into debt for their weddings. I plan to do my best to make their special day as special as I can... IF we have any relationship at all at that point. I don't feel we "owe" them any specific kind of anything for their wedding day. My (jobless) 18 year old son (living with his "new family" ...his friend's mommy and daddy) is planning to "secretly" marry his 17 year old girlfriend the day she turns 18. (funny story how that "secret plan" was delivered to my doorstep!) I'm hoping for his sake he wakes up before then. [URL="http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/member.php?u=6370"][/URL] [/QUOTE]
