[quote=Anonymous]When to get engaged, get married, start a family for a self supporting 24 year old is none of your business. You give opinions only if asked. I had babies at 28 and 30 in the DMV, and was treated like the nanny when I had them (“oh, you’re the mother?  You look so young, how old were you when you had them?”).  33 seems very normal for the DMV.

Also, I think they will find there are practical and financial  benefits to being married. Tax Statius. Shared the health insurance.  Being next of kin in an emergency.  I can see wanting to be self supporting before kids. And know where you are moving before marriage. Your DD might want to discuss the timing of the marriage and understand why it’s important to him to be a resident. Is it paying for a wedding (year u can speed that along by offering to pay) or not having time for a wedding (maybe they elope and have a reception at home at their convenience).

But mostly:  your opinion and my opinion don’t matter for twenty somethings who are self supporting. Practice saying “I’m glad you’ve found someone who makes you happpy,” until you sound like you mean it. [/quote]
