| What happened to Sydney? I thought she was going to be doing high powered internships and the likes. I guess all kids have a right to just vibe in their twenties and figure themselves out. |

| Apparently there is only one correct way to “do” your twenties and getting married and having children is Not It. You must travel and remain single and yada yada yada so sayeth bossy big sis. Newsflash: some people choose to get married and have children in their twenties and don’t feel that it rUiNeD tHeIr LIfE. |

Marriage in your 20's does not a child bride make.
It's normal, though not for everyone. Tossing out all your core beliefs is not normal either, unless you were raised in a cult. Well adjusted people respect the beliefs of their parents though they develop their own convictions that may or may not include most of those. They do not seek attention by trashing everything they were raised with. They respect the fact that their parents may have learned a thing or two. They don't think that they have an amazing new way of relating to God that no one ever thought of before. They are grateful for their children and see them as a wonderful part of their lives and not hindrances that they wished they had put off. I always wonder why the professional "deconstructionists" assume that deconstruction is always for the better. It can also refer to a process of falling apart- mentally and spiritually.. I think these people are ageing backward, and not in a good way. |
