How much more can I take?!?

There I was- sitting with my parents, having a pleasant conversation- when they suddenly dropped the M-bomb on me. I can't handle it anymore. They talk about marriage EVERY SINGLE DAY! I can't take it anymore!!!! Every single conversation that I have with them leads to the discussion of my future spouse. For goodness sake, I'm only 22! Cut me some slack!

And no mom, there's nothing "wrong with me"!!!!

I know that this is typical of Romanian parents... to pressure their kids into marriage early on.... and to freak out if there's no one in the picture.... and to threaten to send me to Romania if I don't find someone in the next few years. Knowing this gives me more grace for them.

But my parents want to see me with someone so badly that they question my standards... which I think is wrong. I would never encourage my children to compromise their standards, especially when it comes to having a boyfriend. I say, it's GOOD to be picky! I'm saving myself for the BEST! Because I am the best and I deserve that! And if there are any young girls reading this.... PLEASE DON'T EVER EVER EVER SETTLE!!!

Don't get me wrong; my parents are extremely strong Christians and they believe in God's will for my life. I think that they are just a little blinded by their desperation.

Hehehe sometimes I say that God is calling me to be single just so that I get a rise out of them.... it's a little cruel but hey, there's a lesson to be learned....

Good times in the Braica house.
