All Moved In!

[ame]

My parents are furious with me but Im all moved in. Gotta unpack stuff to my liking but that''s not a big hurry thing. I hoped to find some bedroom furniture, area rug, an entertainment center and a coffee table at some point and not overspend...we never ripped the carpet up, I don''t feel like it now. haha.
YAY!

Congrats!!!
Why are your parents furious?

They wanted me to wait till I got married. They are catholic (Im an atheist) and they must feel some sort of pressure from my mom''s mom and aunts to make sure we do things "right" not that they would agree with my choices anyway. Well all the family members in my mom''s generation seem to not give a crap besides her and my dad, and my cousins all think they are ridiculous to be so livid about it. My grandma and the older womens don''t know, and probably won''t unless my mom spills it or one of my aunts does.

They older people (besides my grandma) won''t come to my wedding anyway because its not in a church and there is a woman officiant. That oughta be fun. But they will come eat free because that''s not a sin. *rolls eyes*

Ive lived outside of the house before, with a guy or two, and that was always an issue then too, but its like I regress 10 years to them and Im not an adult. Its irritating.

Congratulations AME! That is such an exciting time...pain to move and get settled, but so exciting!

Sorry about your parents- but hopefully they will settle a bit given a little time....

Congratulations and so glad to hear that you moved your stuff into your new house (LOL - we''re moving too and all our "junk" is in our shop rather than in the house

). . .Hope you have a smooth unpacking process.

I''m also sorry to hear about your parents being upset and the issue with the church, too. People really need to grow up!

REGARDLESS of all this family stuff, I hope that you have a fabulous life in your new house with your fiance and have a great wedding!!!

Congratulations! I hope that your parents'' anger will not affect your happiness. I *still* find it hard not to care about my parents'' opinions, even though I am probably older than your parents! At any rate, I wish you joy.

Congrats Ame!

Dont worry about the living together thing, my parents were angry over that too. Maybe some ppl would not be divorcing so quickly if they would live together for a while to see how it is! Even my strict 84yr Christian grandmother thinks the same! I am sooo happy your in your "home"


Best,
Lori

I was really stunned by something my aunt said yesterday:

That she is 52 years old and still feels like she has to lie to her mother or she''ll be in trouble. Its so true.

Theyll get over it. I tried the argument about wanting to get things worked out before marriage rather than after. My parents disagree.

Congrats on moving into the house Ame! I''m sorry that your parents aren''t more supportive.

They have till they die to get over it.

Thanks all!

I heard that the first house we offered on (the one where the girl told us to F ourselves) was pulled off the market because she refuses to accept anything less than her asking price. She''s going to try again in March.
