[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, I did go to university and had a career, but we did have a nanny and as our kids became teens, my husband started traveling for work more so I stayed home.

I guess I titled this wrong, I don’t dislike her, just the future plan and how she isn’t as into a career as my son is. I also think he’s too young right now for marriage. As a girlfriend, my son has no complaints about her though. And as a person, she is decent [/quote]

Not your life. Not your decision. Your children are not extensions of you. You want the best for him, but interrogate if you think the best for him means some version of young you. If so, your reaction may be as much about you feeling like he’s rejecting your values and his upbringing as it is about whatever else is making you uncomfortable.

I generally think most people benefit from marrying in their late 20s or early 30s for maturity and financial reasons. That said, if he gets married early and gets divorced he will be ok. You can’t protect him from everything! He is who he is! [/quote]
