This unique story has been shared widely online. When daughters reach dating age, parents often worry, sometimes even more than their kids do.
This mom is no different. Even though her daughter is only 20, she’s already worried she’ll stay single, and she wants her to have a boyfriend even more than to excel in school.
“Honestly, I’m only 20, but my mom worries I’ll stay single, like no one will marry me, and she keeps saying things like:
‘I don’t care if you’re good at school, I just want you to have a boyfriend.’
‘I know this guy X is amazing for you!’
‘If you have a boyfriend, I’ll give you whatever you want.’
‘Aunt Y told me if you marry into her family, she’ll give you two million VND!’
‘You need to date lots of guys to figure out who suits you best, don’t just stick to one or two like I did.’
It’s tough having a mom who’s so eager to ‘sell you off,’ you know!” the daughter shared online.
Though the daughter’s post sounds like a complaint, it’s really a shoutout to her understanding mom. Not everyone is this open and progressive.
In today’s world, many families still lack full awareness about the importance of sex education. Many parents forbid dating instead of explaining things so their kids can make smart choices in relationships. This mom’s playful approach is actually a way to gently prepare her daughter for love.
“You’re lucky to have such a sweet mom. She’s ahead of the game, handling it gently and thoughtfully,” commented user C. Ha.
“She sounds just like my mom, but I let her down, I graduated college and still haven’t brought home a boyfriend!” joked another user.
“My aunt even bought condoms for her daughter. Sex in relationships is normal, what matters is how adults approach and guide their kids without making them feel pressured,” observed Thu Minh.
