should your parnets have any say on who you date?
Yes, and if you don't respect their opinion that the person you are dating may not be right for you then your an idiot. They are there to look out for your best interest and if they don't like him/her then there must be something you aren't seeing!
I made a general statement nothing directed at you. :)Quote:

I disagree with them being wrong, I am not saying they can't be wrong it is just very unlikely that they are wrong. I can't believe there are many cases where they just don't like the person or do not have a sound reason.Quote:

Parents know what is important and best for their children. So, of course, they should have a "say." As for me, I show my utmost respect to my parent, and always consider their opinions, but they respect my ways as well because they know that their badass Monk baby uses his mind. Haha. Parents, mostly, know a lot more than their children because they had experience, but most do not understand until they experience things by themselves.
they should have a say but in the end the ultimate decision should be yours imagine when your 36 will you ask your parents then ? and really its up to you to learn from your mistakes so if you choose the wrong guy/girl then just say ok and find another. and its not always true that parents know best my parents didnt like me watching anime but i carried on anyway and they just had to get on with it
Not true, parents can disapprove of someone your dating just because they dont like them. It can because of a different race, not in the right social standing, or display a personality they hate.Quote:
