re: OT parents: kids dating innapropriate partners

Meh, kids have to have experiences in life. By dating the wrong people, she will hopefully realize what she doesn't want in a person and will move on to a better man.

Of our 4 (combined)kids, Mr Kitty and I have watched as 2 dated unsuitable people and we kept our mouths shut and let it run its course. (The other two are still with their high school sweethearts after all these years and still madly in love).

Both of our wild ones are finally happily married now to very suitable people, people that we have known forever and are thrilled to have in our family.(We never pushed them on them, they found them on their own). But it took them a while to get there and we were patient and supportive. We love our rebel children regardless and we have done the same in our past so we just bide our time.

Our wild son ended up married to a girl he has known since birth (who is the daughter of one of my husband's best friend). Wild child daughter married a long time family friend who is a high ranking law enforcement officer.

Bottom line, it all works out eventually (hopefully).
