I will hear none of it! I will not let you stain the Family name by bringing such filth into this house. I did not spend the last Twenty-Five years exposing you to the finest of everything so you could go off with some truck driver. Think of all those nights I stayed up late, helping you with your assignments, that money spent over the summer on your Tutors, all the endless Internet and Telephone bills, all those Encyclopaedias I bought, all the Weekends I spent supporting you at the Art Gallery and Sports Club. I could have slept all day or spent the entire day watching my Golden Girls Collection, I could haven taken myself out on Holidays, and ordered Pizza and Lasagne for lunch with all that money.
Do you know how many months I spent wearing the same pair of shoes to Work, Church and every other place be it a Formal or Social gathering?. BUT I sacrificed so much so I could give you a better life. Tell me it is April Fools. Tell me this is some big joke. You are trying to tease me right?. Tell me you are drunk. Tell me you are totally intoxicated. If that is the case, we will talk about this when you are sober. I do not think you are in the right frame of mind right now. Have you been drugged or hypnotized?. Will you not come back to your senses!!.

(5/14):
If your objection to this guy is that he's a truck driver then you're a hopeless snob, utterly shallow and your daughter is worth ten of you. If, on the other hand, the guy is disrespectful and snotty (without provocation), foul-mouthed (more so than the usual young person these days), and treats your daughter poorly then you probably have a legitimate complaint. At least he works and makes a decent living. How old is he? Can you say he'll never be anything better? Can you say he doesn't have a good heart and a good work ethic? Can you say he doesn't love your daughter? Your complaint seems to be based on thinking in stereotypes, which is the lazy mind's way of pronouncing judgement without actually exercising any. I suggest you take the values of this world with which you seem to be so obsessed, throw them in the trash where they belong and start thinking like the child of God that you are. Maybe you're right. Maybe he's trash. Maybe you're wrong. Maybe your money has trashed you. Or maybe you gave your daughter too much and she has no judgement to exercise. Maybe you have to let her make her own mistakes. If you don't want to alienate her forever just smile and be there regardless...and then be there to pick up the pieces when she falls. Because if you take away her right to fail then you take away her right to succeed. Let go, mama. Bite your tongue and do it with a smile.
