I feel like a bad dog mom and friend

I caught up on sleep last night, and slept a solid 13 hours. Unfortunately, I slept through my 10:30 class

I bet some parents are relieved when they dump their kids off lol. :P I think I know someone like that. XD

Ergh, I wrote another paragraph here, but had to delete it cause it was so cynical. I think it's cause I don't feel well, sorry.

Try to have fun trying on dresses. :)

Haha, okay, with actual children, I can see why some people would be relieved, but Daisy is perfect, loving, and can do no wrong!

Aww man, you should have left it! When I'm in the right mood, cynicism amuses me.

Eh, I'll try, but I don't wanna do it.

Oh man we are gonna be bridesmaids this year! I hope she doesnt regret her decision and will value marriage as it should be than going for the thrill of it.. Seems like the common mistake nowadays.

If I was ever desparate in marriage, I would have married my long term navy boyfriend.. But hey I didnt!

I completely agree with you and it is awesome that you still wish for the best for her. Help her say yes to a dress! :-)

[annapandawoo]

I hope so as well! She does love him, but I know part of the reason she wants to get married (though she won't say it out loud) is because she's going to go to med school, and she'll need someone to financially support her. So their marriage will definitely last for a while.

Fair enough! Are you two still together?

Lol, we've been obsessively watching that show!

I'm like the master of conjuring up positive statements about the most negative experience, so unless I'm forced to say something mean/critical, I would never do it!

Of course it doesn't mean that I don't think about it. I'm actually a super critical person and if I didn't hold myself back I'd hurt a lot of people.. Have fun dress shopping!! Hope you find something amazing. :)

[annapandawoo]

I can do that! But since it's her wedding, and she's just as vain as I am, we'd both prefer to get to the point instead of sugar coating it.

That's fair! The world needs more kind people. :)

Thank you, I hope so too!

I saw support the person not the event, your there for her even if you don't believe in the decision. That way she know that your there for her.

[annapandawoo]

That's why I'm still going on Saturday.

[neodaedalus25]

And that what makes you a great friend =)

[annapandawoo]

Thank you :)

WOW! This is really interesting. Wedding at 18, and here I thought only Asian and Arabs get married at young age. I know a girl who studied with me in the same class, once she finished high school she got married at the age of 17. It's like a tradition they have.

My mom was married at the same age as well. I think if the person is secured financially, ready mentally, emotionally and physically it's okay to get married when they want - soon or later. But for me, I think that 25 is the ideal time for marriage. Of cause with all the I mentioned before.

[annapandawoo]

Wow, I know it's still common practice, but it still blows my mind. Well, I say that, but when it's arranged, it's not nearly as surprising.

If you don't mind me asking, did your mom end up being happy? A lot of people in my family had arranged marriages, and at the beginning weren't very happy. But long term, 10+ years, they all seem to be happier than the couples who married for love.

I agree, 25+ is a perfect age! But my friend is 21. It just seems like she's rushing it.

[azuma_chan]

It's okay, I don't mind. She didn't end up happy, she actually ended up miserable. Not cause it was an arranged marriage but cause she was married to a 40 years sadist, psycho. The wedding was just a week after her father died cause they wanted money from my father. A perfect Bollywood movie story. LOOOOL.

If the couples really like each other and ready to take this big adventure then it's okay. Otherwise, it might end up a disaster.
