In episode five of Angel, “Rm w/a Vu” Cordelia moves into a new apartment. It seems perfect until she discovers that it’s haunted by a ghost that wants her to either get out or die. After a little research they found that the ghost is an old woman who is very unhappy because her son wanted to leave her and run off with a girl she disapproved of. As it turns out, to keep him from doing so she bricked him into a wall to die and then had a heart attack and died herself.
I think this is a lot of parent’s worst nightmare. Not bricking their child into a wall and then dying because that is highly unlikely. What is much more likely is your child whom you love so much and have worked very hard to raise will end up with someone you don’t approve of. Many parents don’t like their daughter’s boyfriend because he is bad influence or their son’s girlfriend because she is promiscuous. Or at least that’s what the parent’s impression is, but they don’t know them the way you do.
They say “Mother knows best.” However, this isn’t always the case. While it’s good to listen to what your parents have to say, at the end of the day it’s your decision who you want to be with. After all you're the one, not your parents, that has to go home to that person everyday. Therefore, the only one who needs to be head over heels in love with them is you and as long as you’re happy your parents should also be happy.
It is always good to hear your parent's perspective but your right, it is your decision and nobody elses.
ReplyDeleteI agree at the end of the day it always come down to what you think is best and right for you, however, hearing the opinions from those who care about you.
ReplyDeletea drink with your dad and a heart to heart with your mom should cut it.
ReplyDeleteIt always helps to get other people's opinions, but at the end of the day only what we decide on matters.
ReplyDeleteWell I think we're all in agreement here. :)
