Inasmuch as I spent much of my military career OCONUS, I knew any number of men/ladies, who were married by familial contract when they were CHILDREN.
(Among many Amer-Indian cultures of the Eastern Woodland People, the mothers/grandmothers/female elders of the tribe APPROVE/DISAPPROVE OF matches for girls/warriors & bride-prices had to be paid to the bride’s mother. = Those tribes are matriarchal societies. = In some A-I Nations, a boy’s mother owns everything except his horse(s), clothing & weapons until he marries. At his marriage, his mother transfers his property to his bride. - That WISE system assures that if a warrior dies that the wife/wives & children are NOT left destitute & pitiful.)
One young matron who worked in my office told my secretary that she “truly feels sorry for” girls who did NOT grow up KNOWING which boy that she was contracted to as a bride.

“QUESTION: Are you perhaps my lost twin sister?? = You seem to usually beat me to posting essentially the same things, repeatedly.”
I take it we had the same Grandmother? :)
Only if your grandmother was a full-blood or “near full-blood” Amer-Indian, suffragette & “sometime jail-bird” for women’s rights.
She was also, in her youth, a mother of three, a widow at 27YO, a skilled horsewoman, teacher & a hunter.
To say the least, my grandmother was “pretty much of a character”, as she didn’t seem to mind being arrested/locked-up for protesting the LACK of LEGAL RIGHTS for Indians & women circa 1900-1940.
(My maternal grandfather said of her, “There is so much good in the worst of us & so much bad in the best of us, that it’s hard to decide who is who” & “Nettie Mae is a hellion. I like her very much, as my dear Esther did BUT certainly I would NOT have wanted to wed her.”)

true! some of the best TV shows have been ruined by homo sex. Not necessary to show that crap.
Dunno about that...We got cut off from all contact with our grandson after the election. Same stupid reasoning from an idiot leftist.
Don’t mind so much about the DIL...just hate the abuse of the child being forced to believe in leftist lies and nonsense.
So, yeah, it happens.
does it rhyme with wussy?
I lost my family because I am not liberal. And some friends too. I don’t regret it.
Yes, Kelly Anne needs to ditch that loser.
What kind of a man tolerates this kind of disrespectful conduct from his wife???? Crazy.
How can people so filled with hate, resentment, arrogance, and paranoia make it through their daily lives without collapsing from the emotional toll? Leftists really make me wonder sometimes, since so many of them seem angry and unstable—and yes, very intollerant of others they disagree with.
NOT much of any sort of man, imo.

Damn...the woman does drone on...and on...and...
Perhaps he feels the same way as this imbecile.
“Her husband is the problem. He allowed this bitch to slander his parents in print.”
You got this right! The husband is a worthless liberal with his balls in his wife’s purse.
“We rewrote our will a couple years ago and cut out my three nieces and a nephew based on their ultra-left Facebook and Twitter posts. I love them, but there’s no way they’ll receive our money and then support liberal causes with it. NFW.”
Great move that makes me feel thankful that my kids lean to the right.
“I lost my family because I am not liberal. And some friends too. I don’t regret it.”
Good job. That takes true conviction to stick by your guns. I have a cousin that I was once close too that has gone full lib-tard. I cut him out. I also have no liberal friends and do NOT regret it one bit! If the rest of the world wants to be led to hell by Godless Socialists, I will not follow.
Yep, that Pope who referred to the Jews as "Our beloved elder brethren" was really "marginalizing" them!
Yes, children can detect excess stridency in their mother and will often behave the opposite in response as adults. I say this from personal experience.
As for hubby, his bride was a lefty knockout who rode him like a bronco 10 years ago before marriage, so any man can put up with her political zeal, right?
The poor fellow is in for a rough time when his lefty missus turns 40. For most women, sexual desire drops to zero as menopause approaches, and this is not the kind of woman who will give it up just because she loves her husband.
Works both ways.We had a family dinner and our 5 year old Grandson said.”Trump is a bad man”.When asked he said other Grandmom taught him that.Guess who doesn’t see him unless the parents are there.
Well at least she didn’t accuse them of Bullying Her for having a difference of opinion, LIKE SHE IS!!!
