A lot has been said about marriage rites and how expensive marriage rites are these days.
I don’t support the idea of people wanting to take someone’s daughter for free.
I also don’t support the idea of some parents refusing to be understanding.
When a man has met up with the marriage list and provided the items on the list and also provided major items for the parents and yet they are insisting on everything on their list is provided then that’s not being reasonable.
At least parents can be understanding. I have seen parents wave their rites just to make things easy for their son-in-law to be.
Expecting everything due to you to be done automatically means that you should not expect anything from the man after marriage.
Everything you need would be given to you on the day of the marriage and then you forget any other thing.
Even women should not expect anything after their daughter gives birth to a child. You can’t be so heartless and still have expectations.
You can’t still expect the man to be spending on you. I don’t support the idea of seeing a son-in-law as a milk cow.
People need to remove such entitlement mentality from their minds.
There’s a difference between a man willing to put effort and one wanting to play games.
That a man has no money today doesn’t mean he’ll remain that way. Next thing you’ll say you are been given attitude.
What do you expect to be done to you? Welcomed with open arms? Some parents are not ready to understand and yet expect to be understood.
The worst aspect is that they’ll still be complaining about whatever they are being given after the marriage despite demanding all their rites.
They’ll still complain that their in-law doesn’t call or visit despite how they behaved during the marriage.
The golden rule comes to mind. Some parents don’t have a good relationship with their sons-in-law, despite this they still have huge expectations of these people.
They never check on them but expect them to be at their beck and call.
No one is saying give your daughter away for nothing but be understanding and be willing to assist…
