I suppose it never occurred to you that maybe your parents, having lived a lot longer and having had the opportunity to learn a little more about how to judge a person's character (and about life in general) might see something you missed.

Nevermind the fact that as long as someone is a minor child living in their parents' home it is the parents' responsibility to make sure their kid is OK. Once the kid is grown and out on his own, I agree. Parents need to say their peace and then butt out.

I don't mean to be hard on you. I went through that stage of life myself when I truly didn't think my parents were any wiser than I was. But ohhhhh how wrong I was.

Just because someone or something makes you happy doesn't mean that person or thing is right for you. And sometimes that's hard to see when you're young.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
