[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your daughter is probably complaining to you because negativity attracts negativity. My mom is the most negative person I know and talking to her can be a chore. So, I unload and complain and then move on. My life is fine but I doubt my mom realizes that.[/quote]

I’m not a negative person and I’m not negative on the phone with my daughter. I’m just sharing a point of view on here anonymously for those who seek to marry well or have their children marry well.[/quote]

Why’d you encourage her to “marry well?” Everyone knows marrying well for umc is marrying a professional high earner who is dependent on their income, so they have to go wherever opportunity is to sustain their lifestyle. If you wanted her to stay close you should have told her money doesn’t matter and marry anyone as long as they are willing to live close to you guys.[/quote]

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with marry well. Marrying well is just marrying a peer with similar credentials, nice career, ambition and value system. Just a warning that it can also come with downside if two kids get wrapped up in a social climbing rat race and miss the forest for the trees.[/quote]
