How would you react if your son or daughter eloped?

[Lucy68]

Especially if it was someone you didn't approve of them being with? Would you still be supportive? Would you still love them or would you disown them? Would you try to get along with your new son in law or daughter in law or not really? Would you be extremely angry or devastated?

[SnowedIn]

Angry or devastated? No. Love them? Absolutely 100%. I may not like the choices they make, but that has no bearing on my love for them. Supportive? Yes. Not being support helps nobody. And, get along with the new in-law: yep, I'd try. Family drama sucks and I'm not going to be the one causing it. Plus, my first impressions may have been wrong.

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!

[Cubus]

I don't know. Depends

[Lucy68]

Let's say your 16 or 17 year old daughter fell in love with someone who has no aspirations in life, has been on jail numerous times, liked to live on there wild side of life, didn't have a religion of any sort, dropped out of school, and doesn't treat her the way she deserves to be treated

[Lucy68]

Would you still be accepting of them and your new in law

[Cubus]

Of course I would not accept it

[Cubus]

Thank you for Most Helpful.

[Lucy68]

You're welcome

I’d be really sad to not have been a part of their special day. Even if I didn’t like the person they were with, and it would take some time to move forward, I would never want to sacrifice my relationship with my child just because I didn’t like their partner. I would do whatever I could to build or repair whatever it was I didn’t like about them.

[Pudsmucker]

I may not approve of the situation. But they are still my child. I will give them support and love them the same way and their chosen companion. Your child needs to know that you can support them no matter what their choices are. They're not your choices. You still love them because they're your child.

[Truth0225]

It depends. Ultimately it’s their choice who they want to be with. Now if the person who they are with are dangerous, or someone who is bad for their well-being in someway, then yes I’d have an issue and I’d stay out of their life.

[NathanDavis]

well, that would be a long long set of circumstances in which I would have failed as a father, one after the other as well... so I think it would be best to let them be

[Summeroflove]

I hopefully would love my children unconditionally. I can do the best I can to raise them. But when they’re adults they have to make their own chocked

[Wish4UrB00ty]

I might be a little angry but I would choose to get over it and still try my best to support them.

[Drumlin2001]

I'd be disappointed that that's how they decided to do it. But as long as they are happy it doesn't matter. Their mother on the other hand would go ballistic

[Guardian45]

I would love my son or daughter, but I would be hurt if they eloped.

[exitseven]

I would go on a great vacation on all the money I saved.

[CateM]

I'd be hurt if they did that but I'd still love them

[motownplayer2000]

If my child had to elope, I didn’t do my job as correctly as a parent. That my child needs to run away from you to get married

[AmeerX]

Support them if they did but prefer if they ask me at least one time before taking the step. Be hurt they think I wouldn't support them

[LiamJHayden]

I'd think, "If you are going to get married, that is the way rather than wasting tens of thousands on a wedding."

[Mangospacho]

I’d be pretty impressed. He’s not even in kindergarten yet.

[Anonymous]

What? Leave the house? On their own? If feel confident they'd want me to drive them.

[Kelly6]

support them

[Anonymous]

Not much I could do.

[ManhattanMan1212]

Can I ask you a question?

[Opinion Owner]

@ManhattanMan1212 go ahead.

[ManhattanMan1212]

Would you dump a great man just because he has a average penis size?

[Opinion Owner]

@ManhattanMan1212 nope.

[ManhattanMan1212]

I’m 6.5 inches long and 4.7 inches girth. Is that small to you

[Opinion Owner]
