I don’t see the happiness a parent would feel if his or her son decided to lop off his penis, get breast implants, and hormone treatments, or just become a drag queen. I think that there are a lot of democrats out there who would be made very happy about that.
Well, assuming all is “OK”, I think I’d take the marriage.
Mostly because I’m very cynical and wouldn’t fully trust any school, including college, to please me with their “leanings”.
I’ve experienced enough of the private-school disappointment to know not to put stock in getting into any given school.
BTW, GRADUATION is better than “getting in”.
Frankly, despite its problems, my college graduation was maybe my proudest point in my life.
Although she has a serious boyfriend, marriage isn't quite on the radar screen, so I am patient. I don't expect her to marry to make me pleased or feel any other emotion.
Get into Yale, Stanford, or another elite college and you are on a direct path to working for Big Tech, Deep State, or any of the other organizations that run our lives.
It’s a choice. Do you want your kid to be another rat in the maze, or a maze builder with the corresponding disdain for the little people.
Prestigious colleges are fast becoming jokes.
Neither will make you or your child happy once the initial euphoria wears off. Not being pessimistic. It’s just a reality.
Dennis Prager’s parents were happy 3 separate times then.
My son had been married twice but the way he treated both wives it does not surprise that they divorced him. Also his second wife was something of a slut. She had been married to a guy who was in the Service. They had a daughter by him. When she got tired of him she divorced him and married my son and they had a son together. After a few years she got tired of my son and divorced him. I can not blame her as he has the habit of screaming. I have never screamed at him or my children except one time when I screamed at my daughter who was 4 at the time. I was driving with her somewhere and she was sitting next to me on the passenger seat, next she touched the parking lever and I screamed at her to never do that again. There was a incident in the news that a child had been in the car with her mother and who did the same thing my daughter did. The mother panicked and she wrecked the car and both dies. That was on my mind when I screamed at my daughter. Luckily I was able to stop my car and everything was ok.
My son met his first wife in a bar. She had a five year old daughter who was something of a brat, she always said she wanted to be like her mother and smoke cigarettes I told her she was stupid. My dil had four sons, each one by a different man who she married. One son killed himself accidentally with a gun.
Now something about my son's second wife. She want after the husband of the wife got him to divorce his wife and married him. After she got tired of him she divorced him and married my son.
My son has the habit of screaming. Even at me.
I’d be far happier seeing my kids/grandkids coming to know the Lord, going to trade school and developing a much-needed skill, become good at the skill and raising a family.
“University”, “Professor”....what could possibly go wrong? /s
Getting married, to a non-leftist who never voted for and never will vote for a democrat.
These days, the most truly prestigious of colleges are trade schools.
Getting into a good marriage is better than getting a college brainwashing — that could end in Marxism, white self-hatred, or transgenderization.
Not outliving my children will bring me great joy.
It is so if one's grown child gets married by a clergyperson in a faith he or she believes.
Personally, I praised God aloud when mine got rejected from Harvard, but got into another prestigious (non-Ivy) university.
Happily married to a good person for life.
