Quote From: mistycTo all you 30 something posters that married teenagers. Consider yourselves very lucky I'm not your MIL because I would have kicked your sorry behind across the street before you ever got close to my child.
For the record YOU CAN CONTROL who you fall in love with. It is all a matter of removing yourself from the situation. That is like saying I have no control over robbing a bank, yes I do it is called self control.
When you say 'just remove yourself from the situation' if you don't want to fall in love w/ that person, is true~! I have done that, and with very little time at all, you are much better! But when my brother was 25 he married a 38 yr old woman, but she didn't have any kids. Their little girl is 11 and they've been married 12 years happily. BUT they both had jobs and not living at home with mommie, and he wasn't a teen, and had experienced ALOT of life..haha. So there's a difference (13 yr diff.) I am only 7 months older than my husband, so I don't have the probs they have. If these couples are going to get married, the families should say what they want to say, LET them do it (they'll do it anyway) and move on with their lives. Let them make their own mistakes in life.
