*How do you feel about your child marrying out of their race?
How do you feel about your child marrying someone of another race? In my opinion, once we have raised our child to reach adulthood, a parent does not have a right to intervene in their child’s choice of a mate. We should realize, our child is a mature adult and he/she is capable of making good choices about the person they want to spend the rest of their life with. A mate is strictly not our choice to make because love is not a choice, it’s an unconditional love between a man and a woman and no-one has a right to complain to their child. A person’s nationality or race does not enter the picture whatsoever…it’s a choice of the person who is getting married.
*Adult children have their rights too:
After a child is an adult, a parent should step back and discontinue any type of controlling mannerism they have and let a children live their own lives. No-one wants someone telling them what to do after they’ve become an adult, this will cause resentments and arguments between parents and the child. Would you want someone to choose your mate? If a parent even as much as mentions their opinion to their adult child, it can put a wall between the parent and their child’s life forever.
*Parents should support their children:
As parents, we should show our child support and give them our approval when they’ve chosen a mate. We should extend a warm hand to the man/woman coming into the family and make them feel welcome and as one of their accepted family members. We should never make our child feel as though they’re bringing someone they do not accept into their family. This can cause your child to feel like they’re an outcast in the future and they will find it hard to socialize with them if the family does not accept their choice.
It’s my opinion, race and nationality has nothing to do with who a person is or what they stand for. It’s what is in the heart of that person’s heart and soul and we should never judge people by their race or nationality. We are all human beings and we should be treated as such. There are great people in all walks of life, and we should set aside the nationality or race of all people. Our country is full of all different types of races and nationalities, and we need to treat everyone as we would want to be treated ourselves.
*Summation:
Parents is expected to respect their adult children’s choices in life, and when they bring children into this world, we show never show any partiality whatsoever to the child. Each grandchild should be given the same respect and love and their should not be any favoritism shown to any one child. People do have a tendency to discriminate and this can hurt a child to the core of their soul. There are children in our world who are scorned by other children in our society because of their nationalities and this should never happen to any children.
