Why don’t my parents want me to Marry my boyfriend?

Carolyn: Why don’t my parents want me to Marry my boyfriend?
Okay, here’s the scoop. I’m 22. Actually 22 and a half, plus a month. I just finished my GED and am not going to college. For what? To spend $ 60,000 on an education with this bad economy? Puh-lease! My boyfriend, Jimmy, drives a hot motorcycle and wears leather jackets. I know right, he sounds dreamy! Like right out of the movies. My folks don’t approve. Mainly because he spits a lot and drinks Caronas. Grandma also doesn’t “feel” him.

To make a long story short, the other night we had him over for din-din (dinner). Mom made potroast. Dad sat at the table with the paper. My brother is only 15 so he was in his room playing Nintendo. When Jimmy came over he told Mom to stop cooking in the kitchen and start working in the city. I laughed, but no one else got the joke. When we were eating, Jimmy said the food was God-awful. I agreed. We thought honesty was the best policy, but Dad told us to knock it off. Mom seemed hurt, but I didn’t care. When it was time to say good-night, Jimmy leaned in and french kissed me (like put his tongue in my mouth) in front of Mom and Dad. We tongued for a good 2 minutes. I was feeling wet but then Mom told us to stop.

Now they don’t want me seeing him anymore. And for what? I’m 22 years old! And just because I stay at home and pay no bills- which is a lie- I pay my cell phone bill, they think they can tell me what to do! What should I do? Jimmy wants to marry me. He has a great job at a bike shop where he’s head cashier. Come on, that’s way better then the bag boys.
Okay Libby aka bytch, fuck off.

2. I am NOT making this up! Please, I need advice. Stop accusing me of lies and you don’t even know me.

22 or 57, if you live with your parents and don’t pay any of the house bills then they can tell you what to do. not trying to be rude, but don’t like it, move out! like you said, your 22, grow up and get a job and if you want to marry him that bad get you a place together. and if my kid brought home a boyfriend who was as rude as this, and my kid was as rude as you, i’d probably have a problem too. actually, i would probably just kick you out, haha.

sorry to be so rude, but you seem to need it.

I don’t know why your parents don’t want you to marry Jimmy. But I can tell you what worries me: you two might reproduce. No matter how you mix it, your offspring will end up being somewhat like you and somewhat like Jimmy. I don’t believe in abortion at all, but in your case . . ..

Without much further thought I realized why you parents don’t want you to marry Jimmy. They are predicting that you’ll be moving back in with them in 10 months (or sooner) and bringing your baby with you — and maybe Jimmy, too. On the other hand, they already have one moron in the family, why welcome a moron-in-law? Wow, 22 and a half, plus a month! I’ll add this to my collection of “how glad I am this idiot isn’t my daughter.”

If you still live with your parents. . . Their house. Their rules. They have all the voting rights.

If he really loves you then he’ll take you to a drive through wedding in Vegas and find y’all a nice trailer (I mean, that Head Cashier job should pay for that in no time, right?) that maybe his parents will let you plant in their backyard. Because I’m sure you’ve lost any sort of privilege of living with your parents after marrying him, although it sounds like you don’t really care about that privilege anyways.
