... has bad teeth, is a chain-smoker = LINK?  ;D My oldest is living with her BF who I have "disapproved of"... LOL For the sake of familial harmony, I have to get along with him. He's chronically unemployed ... But I have to LIKE the guy... *sigh* I think if I can get along with this guy, then your mom just needs to lighten the hell up... no offense. I think we have all experienced this to a greater or lesser extent - to have to accept someone in our (extended) family, even though we really don´t like them, but simply because we want to get along and because they are connected with people we care for. |

"Well, if his mother owns a studio, he must know how to dance." "Um, maybe. I kind of doubt it." "Is he in a wheelchair?" "Yeah." "Don't they have wheelchair dancing?" "Actually yeah, they do." I think after about ten years of struggling with this issue, my mom and I are starting to see each other's point of view. I like this a lot  . |

I'm sorry your mother is down on you about who you are dating or thinking of dating. He's not her boyfriend. My parents never minded the guy I was dating. Rob is his name. He had CP. It affected his legs, but he could walk, sometimes he used a cane. What my family didn't like about him was his personality. He was such a Know-it-all sucky baby, the voice of authority on anything and everything. I could've kicked him in the arse a couple of times. My sister didn't want him in her house by the time I'd broken up with him. I broke up with the guy because, he thought he was a hotshot and actually had the gall to say that I wasn't good enough for him because I worked at a McDonalds and a Harveys and wasn't anything but a hamburger flipper. He said either the job goes or he would go. I went. ;D good for you ... last night in chat we where talking about how much more crap we put up with cos the guy is a wheeler and they are hard to come by ... so from one dev to another ... hi5 |

Thanks Lavly, hi5 back Oh, I don't put up with much crap. Wheeler or AB. I won't be criticized by the person in my life. My mother warned me about people like that The last guy I broke up with criticized me about how I was making a frozen lasagnia. I know this sounds silly, but Mr. Lasagnia and the guy with CP share one thing in common. They are both dragons in the Chinese horoscope. I know one other dragon, my BIL. All three act the same way. Or maybe it's just my imagination Oh and my mother is a Dragon, but totally different personality. Maybe because she's female?  |

I went from kindergarten to high school with almost 2/3 dragons in my class, and there were a lot of jerks to contend with--both male and female. Incidentally, every friend I had that lasted more than six years, with one exception, has been an end-of-the-year rabbit.  As far as moms go, if I actually brought home a disabled guy, I doubt she'd think much of it at all. She's always said that she'd rather I wind up with the right person for me than anything else. She also made sure to punctuate that notion with 'even if that right person's a girl' often enough for me to think she expects that I'm actually a lesbian. Maybe I should be worried about disappointing her if I show up with any guy.  If anything it'd be my dad who'd have the problem with it. I haven't actually lasted in a relationship long enough where mentioning it to my parents is a good idea, so a lot of this is speculation on my part. |
