Many of you must have experienced it either directly or indirectly through your friend. Ok what do you think must be the reason that most of the parents are against love? Is Love a big mistake that we are doing? Do you think that those parents are hurting their own children or do you think that they are experienced person and so their decision will be correct. Share your ideas about this.

I think our parent just love us so much and they are just protecting us to the pains of this world and that is love. They know whats best for us and the right time to fall in love. When we get hurt they get hurt also. When we are happy they are happy also. They will accept it already when they know we can handle it. One thing more parents do get jealous also. Cause they know that the attention with them will be divided it will not be like before when you still don't have a relationship. Have a nice day!

Parents want their children to succeed in life. They usually want their children to get a good education, then a good career and then be financially comfortable. If love enters in before or during that it can be a huge distraction and even a lot of times detour people off the right track. If that isn't the case then maybe it's because parents simply don't like the person you've chosen to love. Parents don't always like our choices but it isn't up to them who we fall in love with. You can't control love. All you can do is embrace it and try to hold onto it for as long as possible. Parents can have their opinions afterall, they've lived life and probably have learned a great deal about it but at the end..it's your decision..no one elses.

it's not that they are against them, they just want to make sure that we are really loved by the person whom we are with and that we are certain that we are loved by our partners or boyfriends too. they are just worried about us. and they want to feel at peace knowing that we are in happy, healthy relationship..

Ya what you say is correct. But some parents are just avoiding it. They are not ready to know whether the guy/gal who their children select is good or bad. Caste and religion also make them blind.

well, i agree with you. but if we are already in the appropriate age and have finished studies, they wont really mind. but of course, there are parents who really wants to choose and decide for their children which i think is not good. not at all!

Hi vidhya,Its not that the parents are hurting their own children,bcoz they think only of our welfare.each and every parent only think that their children should have a good and bright future.they are scared bcoz their children even after grown up they are not mature enough to take a decision.if they go wrong in their decision its going to affect their childs life.so out of fear parents are against their childs love and they want to decide the best one for their child themselves.okay?

Ya ok. I do understand. My parents are just amazing. I know that. I am just speaking about the parents those who see the status. Does that mean that status is more important than their Child?

the main reason why parents oppose love is their fear they might think that their kids will go in a wrong way and loose their lives some parents oppose due to caste or religion and family status but many parents oppose because they think that we dosent know how to organise outr life and make a decision

I can't imagine a parent being against love. However, loving and caring parents will try protect their children from being hurt by someone they feel may use or take advantage of their child. They are certainly experienced and not so easy to be deceived. Take for instance, a twenty year old guy who their 16 year old daughter brings home. I would not be a happy camper and he would not be camping around my home. She needs to be in her books and not in any serious relationship. There are some who came to see her that I politely sent away at the door. She's happily married now with one who knew how to present himself as a gentleman when visiting the home of her parents. Pants pulled up on the waist, yes mam, yes sir, not bring her home late, not coming over late, not calling late. Now they have a daughter and you better believe they will probably be worse than we were.

Ya you are right. You are saying about the situation where is girl is only 16. At that age she won't be mature enough to choose her life partner. What if some parents are against love just by seeing the status?

parents always want their children to be happy but sometimes they become so protective over their children that they interfere with their lives in a way that most of us know. it is not that they are wrong but they want nothing but the best or at least close to the best for their children. in your case your parent feel that your partner can not possibly keep you happy. just put yourself in their shoes and think. even if you marry there will be complications in religious matters,but even if you compromise you can not completely follow the culture. and whats more you and your parents have to deal with the society what ever you might think a individual is what so ever influenced by the society. i can not blame the child or the parent for this.it is because of the difference in opinion and views of each other.both are correct but in their own ways so it is better we avoid these kind of situations.hope for the best and move on.that's all you can do.

Ya i do agree with you. Actually I am not talking about my case in this. My parents were too good to me at that time. They were even ready at one point. But there are parents who just neglect their children's love seeing status. I just wanted to know about them.

Maybe they didn't know so much with them and they think they are not so good as they think ! And if they think it is too young to love for them ,they hope you can learn something more important ,becaus they think it have no benifit to love .or you just didn't know why you love!

Parents are not against love ... for them thier children are young and naive, people will take advantage of them, believe me there are many bad people in the outside world. Our parents are like mother hen protecting the chicks from wolf Guess what when we have our own children especially daughters we will want to protect. all boys they bring home we will see them with suspicious eyes . Will You let your daughter date any man ??

Atleast they can check if the boy we choose is the right person. Some don't do that also. I am not talking about my parents. They did all these. They checked everything and felt that it won't suite me. I am just asking about the parents who don't even check out. I have seen many of my friends parents like that. They are afraid of the society. What will the society think? This is what they think.
