[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 572085, member: 1233"] I am SOOOOOO thankful to not have to deal with this yet. Wiz refuses to let any of us meet any of his girlfriends. We likely won't until he is very very serious, as in ready to marry. Right now he is saying he will never marry and will never have kids. I doubt this will last. Some girl will get preg to catch him and while he may not marry her, he will be a good dad. It feels amazing to realize that I truly believe this! For quite a few years I lived in terror of him having a child because I did not know if he would be a good dad. The whole picking out baby names makes me lol. Oddly, I didn't EVER do that, not even as a little girl when my friends were all planning their weddings and baby names. I did once decide to either be married on horseback or at the top of a roller coaster, but that was mostly to shock the other girls into shutting up because I found the whole mess of planning your wedding when you are six years old to be boring and nauseating. (I was even more nauseated wehn my childhood bff actually carried out many of the things she planned back then when seh actually got married. Six yo's have awful taste, lol!) My brother is the ONLY guy I know who picked out his kids names when he was a kid. They were HIDEOUS, and i won't name them here, but i was thankful that the woman he had a chld with flat out said NO when he told her what they were. One of very few things that exsil did that I liked/approved of. This thread reminds me of the only Dr. Laura show I ever saw. I only saw it because one of the kids had run off with the remote and I had either J or T napping on me and I didn't want to wake them by moving. None of my kids slept well enough to be moved during naptime. Dr. Laura told some young women that if your parents don't like the person you marry, don't marry them. Why? Because your parents are very invested in you and they want the best for you and if they truly don't like the person you marry, or think they are just wrong for you, then they have reasons and are probably right. While I think this is good advice for MY kids, and my parents always liked husband, I cannot see many people following this. esp given how many parents I knwo think that NO ONE is good enough for their baby or that their kids should choose a spouse based on income, etc.... I don't think I could cope well with a son or daughter in law who wasn't a reader and wasn't really curous about lots of things. It would drive me nuts, but also would drive my kids nuts. I guess I will see when my kids get serious about dating, won't I? [/QUOTE]
