Re: Girls A Word Please
For a potential SIL he must be self-sufficient and be able to stand on his own two feet, he must show that he cares for and respects my daughter and sees her as a partner, he must allow her to work or study if that is what she wants after marriage and he must be willing to live away from his mum + dad (unless she really wants otherwise). I couldn't care less about 'family background', I've seen how different people from the same family can be and how good or decent parents are not necessarily an indicator of how the son or daughter will turn out (or the other way around). I couldn't care less if the boys parents are divorced, seperated or whatever or if his brothers or sisters might have a 'reputation', I'm not interested in gossip or hearsay, all I care about is the boy himself.
For a potential DIL exactly the same.
