I have seen so many parents trying to make choices for their children when it comes to marriage. Would you allow your parents to make these choices?

not in a million years!!!!!

Not even me self

hell no

Thats exactly what i'm facing right now, being the last born and only-son, the pressure is just overwhelming, Everyone wants u to at least get hooked up so they'll know that there is hope .

But, they have to wait oh, cos i'm not gonna allow anyone choose for me oh, when i'm ready, i'll make my choice, right now i'm just sampling

no way

i know rite in this day in age who lets their parents decide who they should marry
after all are your parents the ones who are going to leave with the person, wake up in morning and
see their face evryday, i dont think so,
i never really understood why some parents pick wives/husbands for their children
i know my parents aint gon decide for me,, i bring him home and all they need to
do is accept him and thats it, you feel me

Neva!

Its not the right of parents but that of the children to chose who they would like to spend the rest of their lives with. Na your papa wan sleep with am or na your mama? Who will cope with their bad or even evil habits?

So the choice remains that of the child

my mom cant try that,becos she knows i aint into that tradition things

no no no and no
they wont be the onbe sharing everthing with the partner

OH HELL NO, i remember when i came back to naija early this year, my dad wanted to intoduce me to this guy, but i told him it wasn't his decision, i am the one who is going to live with the man forever so why let someone else pick him for me. That is a no go area.

no

Never

helll nooooooooo

And i also agreed with (whitelexi), [i][/i]because my bf is into same problem right now. He is the last born of the family and only son. so just imagine that!

why should i?did i CHOSED for dem?

my parents would not choose a partner for me but they'd certainly have a say in my choice, cos i need their advice to go all the way

They can only advise on what kind of person to marry, but to choose, d hell no! And the truth is that, they know this fact! Even if they insist, it can't work with me.

If they'll choose for me that means they'll fall in love for me.

They give me the necessary advice and steps to take and not choose for me.

Not a chance.

I wouldn't even entertain the idea of my parents suggesting who I should marry.

never!!!

Yes! Yes!! But on one condition. The lady would be sleeping with them and not me. Very simple.

hell freaking NO,

@ Topic,

HELL to the NO!!

Sorry my parents are not the "village minded" type. They believe in free will too. They only advise but do not make choices for their children!

no wonder.
almond we need to find you a village spouse to tame your wild ways.
One that'll give you belle every year so that you are practically incapacitated all year round.

That's what you need.
A village man with animal tendencies
whose idea of going to the movies is staring in one
