[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's an adult married woman and every one of your posts is all about things she "should" do.

In your opinion, she should do these things.

But again, she is an adult married woman so there are at least two other opinions that matter more than yours.

What you should do is butt out and appreciate her for who she is.  Maybe if you stop trying to meddle in her life she'll let you in.  Maybe she won't.  But she sure as hell won't let you in if you're constantly criticizing and judging her.  [/quote]

I'm sorry but I think this is harsh.  I get where op is coming from.  If my now elementary aged daughter grows up to be someone's wife and that's it, I will feel I have failed her.  [/quote]

That is YOUR issue. How do you not see that?[/quote]

Maybe so, but it comes with parenthood. And if my son grows up to be someone's stay at home husband, and nothing else, I'll be pretty bummed too.  I am raising my children to have interests and pursuits outside of another person, to contribute individually and not just to another individual, and to enrich their minds and hearts, whether professionally or for philanthropy.  If I then raise kids with who don't share those values, fine, but I will admit that I do hope my kids define their personal happiness in a way other than by being someone's else's supported companion through this life.
