Colleges are brainwashing institutions
Not a lot of marriage material out there; plus unrealistic expectations...”marriage will make me “happy””
I say none of the above.
Excellent article!
Some things are more important than a prestigious university/educational institution and/or appropriate marriage.
I advise strongly against the indoctrination camps. All six of mine are independent with decent to significant incomes. Wife and I determined long ago our strongest prayer was for them to marry well. “when well married most any obstacle can be overcome. When poorly married no blessing is big enough”
yes, my neo-liberal uncle (i call him that b/c he was technically a republican up until my super-Reaganite conservative grandfather died in 2005 and he became a serf to his liberal Long Island yenta wife,) Is much more proud of his 3 children’s college accomplishments then that in their early 30’s, none of them are married or have any children.
my uncle will probably never know the joy of seeing his grandchildren grow and prosper (if he ever even has any)
the daughter is some super stem-cell researcher with no time for marriage/children
the one son is a young schmuck lawyer.
the other son is probably gay (not 100% convinced though) and is trying to become some type of save-the-world psychologist.
college meant so much to my uncle that he got caught in some huge medicare fraud case and even spent 2-3 years in federal prison for accepting bribes. His overall gist was that he “had 3 kids to get through college at once”. Whoever said they HAD to go to ivy league/top tier schools???
despite his guilty plea (and that of every other doctor involved), he still insists he wasn’t aware he was breaking the law.
typical elitist / entitled liberal
I’d settle for the rugrats doing something like, say, reading Orwell’s 1984, understanding it, taking its lessons to heart, and never allowing government to take over their grey matter.
How many young people can say they’ve done /are doing things like that?
I was FAR HAPPIER keeping my kids in mediocre local colleges...where they could live at home.
No way in hell were they going to get indoctrinated by the Left in our family, and they didn’t.
Wow...that is a sad story....I think a good marriage is foundational, right after knowing God.
I would put the births of my grandkids ahead of the wedding. (Yes, the grandkids happened AFTER the wedding)
NFN it’s 3 John 1:4. YW
Actually for me neither or both, because what brings me the most joy is seeing my Children being more successful in life than I. Rather its love and marriage, career and finances or education, talent or skill I want their life in always to be better than mine
C. My children using their brains to think critically.
Amen!!!!
When our son was in college he was dating some rather ungodly young women. I simply decided to take it to the Lord in prayer. And He answered that prayer BEYOND what I asked for. Our DIL is a wonderful, Christ-centered young lady who loves our son with her entire being. We love her and nurture that relationship. Another blessing from that prayer: our first grandchild. ❤️
To God be the glory!
Life begins when the kids move out and the pets die . . . I forget who said that but it always gives me a laugh
Personally, I wish all my children were married and had children of their own. But that hasn’t happened yet.
Ummmm.
No
For me I am most proud of my daughter’s getting her masters and passing her boards so she can be a nurse practitioner. I was thrilled and happy the day she got married. She picked well for that I am thankful.
I am most happy that she has grown into a wonderful adult
