Full article. My parents helped me meet my wife, who was helped by her sister. Twenty-two years later we are happily married with three children. There's no shame in getting help from family, although of course if the adult child wants to be left alone, they should be.

Wait. I think I saw that movie. “Failure To Launch”, co-starring the greatest quarterback in NFL history, Terry Bradshaw. IIRC, the parent’s plan didn’t work too well there, either.

In the movie “Failure to Launch”, Terry Bradshaw turned his son’s room into his naked room.

It brought closure to the idea of moving back home.

The real problem here is that most of these Snowflakes and Zeros have fallen in love with their cellphones.

A 34 year old teacher, living at home with her parents, isn’t going to get married. It’s too late. She’s hit the wall. Sorry.

I’m the contrarian in this.

Throughout history, parental consent has been required before daughters could marry.

Today, the divorce rate is 50% plus.

No further argument needed.

Meddling? maybe. Desperate? definitely.

These parents are desperate to have their now-adult children get married so the parents can continue to ignore how failed parents, misandry, anti-family courts, government intrusion, government debt, inflation, etc. have ruined the institution of marriage.

Well if the boys dont know what a woman is, yes I guess they do need help ...

The helicopter moms of the 90's are now seeing their kids incapable of managing direct social contact in lieu of their fantasy world of social media online "friends".

Who would have guessed this would happen?????

Have you checked the stock of young women out there today?
Young men don't want to marry that brainwashed, crazy shit!

"...said Ms. Kaku, a seventh-grade teacher who had moved back home to Fresno, Calif., at the time."

Good grief...what did this woman expect? SHE'S LIVING IN HER PARENT'S HOUSE AT THE AGE OF 34!

“Know if someone is the one for you in 5 dates!” according to an online advertisement for Dr. Kederian’s services. She consulted with Ms. Kaku and her advice was, first, to talk with her mother about maintaining personal boundaries, and, second, be more open-minded about potential partners. A few months later, Ms. Kaku decided to take a chance on a Bumble profile she had previously passed over. It turned out to be a great match. Nobody is happier about the pair’s coming wedding than Ms. Kaku’s mother, who said she told her daughter, “See, it was totally worth the money.”

This is a good idea - time for grandparents to get involved too..

Two years ago, Kelli Kaku’s mother bought her the $797 online course, “Fall in Love by Christmas.” Ms. Kaku, 34 years old, was blindsided.

“I was like, ‘I’m trying!’ ” said Ms. Kaku, a seventh-grade teacher who had moved back home to Fresno, Calif., at the time.

She's a strong independent woman. She does not need a man.

For guys, it’s not difficult if you’re willing to look outside of the US (which only makes sense anyway). I know one guy who recently posted himself looking for a gal in the Philippines and got 7,000 hits...so options do exist.

For girls, much tougher, they need to be able to reset their values from that of our man-hating culture, and that’s tough, since they’ve been immersed in it all of their lives.
