The culture here is sometimes quite a pain...but at the same time there is a part of the entire country which is breaking free from the past and moving forward. What is sad, however is that with every step taken forward, there are people butting in to curb it as well.. well, things take time i guess. cheers D What ananya said is a wee bit true… The culture here is sometimes quite a pain…but at the same time there is a part of the entire country which is breaking free from the past and moving forward.

He and I collect swords (we keep them in display cases until our daughters are older), and he told me that he was planning on meeting the boyfriends while sitting on the couch sharpening one of his swords :shock: . I promptly told him that I would meet the boyfriends first and if I liked them, I would warn them about my husband. If I didn't like them, there would be no warning! :lol: We still have several years before we have to worry about boyfriends (our oldest is 4 and our youngest is 3 months), for which I am very grateful!

Things are changing a bit o'er here. People are getting used to the matter of dating and the likes, but all that is agreeable only after the age of 21...before that you are still kids supported by your parents. But I guess in a way that saves us from a lot of tricky situations and not having to handle with heart breaks at a young age! I know your concern. Wanting to protect your babies is a motherly instinct!:) You are a great mother too.

Our son is 30 now...once in a while he still asks for advice, but we have always tried to let him make his own decisions... :wink: It stays in your heart, but you are right, too much protecting and it backfires big time.
