june is almost over. where did it go? looks like i am 2 says behind on everything so here we go again with catch up. i hope you all are liking these challenges and their questions. i like to have something to write about. i hope i am not missing blog hops...need to check on that. anyway...on to day 27 and 28 of the june blog challenge. oh in case you were wondering there will be another challenge in july too :)
day 27- problem you have had...
oh don't we all have problems. my main problem right now is getting my parents to see that my love is not a bad person and he is the best man for me! it is hard with the culture difference. my parents are African, however they have raised me and my brother here in America. we were both in America and went to school and most of our friends are American so naturally, i would be dating American men. i think they have missed that concept somewhere. my love is a great guy, hard working, no criminal record or kids. it is just him and i. he is working on his degree and has taken steps to lose weigh and keep it off. i am unsure what the real issue is other than, they just do not want me to be with an American man. what do I do? anyway to reason with them? they have said they will not be at the wedding or support us, it hurts, but i have to remember i am an adult and well, in the end it is my choice. it will hurt to go down the aisle by myself to my love, but to me he is worth it and i pray that they will eventually come around. what do you think?
day 28-something you miss...
i miss my love. i miss him a lot. i wish we were in the same city. i also miss living in my own with no one's rules but my own. i stay with my parents. so nice of them to keep me...really it is. but when i was on my own... i could sleep as late as i want. clean when i want to, eat what i wanted when i wanted, watch what i want, go in and out as i would like without giving the where, when, why, how long set of questions etc. i just miss the quietness of coming back to the house and not hearing your name called 20 times in the hour. LOL. it will happen again sometime soon! **what do you miss?
~eloquently rambling...
My question is if your parents raised you in America, why do they have such a problem with Americans. I am an American and I just can't understand this?? Hope you are not offended!
ReplyDeletePaula, no offense taken. that is how i see it too. Americans are not bad, and each culture/group has its share of bad people. i do not think i would even relate to someone from their culture b/c of my upbringing here and they are also running away from their's too b/c they want to be Americans...ahhh!
DeleteHey, hey! Hoping your parents come around and overcome the cultural differences. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeletehey Sessy and baby girl coming soon! thank you for your sweet words. i hope they do too. love is pretty strong!
DeleteFirst, I wanted to say that I LOVE your blog. I am glad I found it through the Wondering Brain blog hop.
ReplyDeleteAs a "non-American" I have been around lots of similar situations with friends from different nationalities and I truly understand you. Many parents wish their children are like them and culture is just one of these aspects. Sometimes it takes time to show them that you love them but you may be taking a different path in life.
Best,

Maria, thank you for stopping by and your kind words. it just hurts when they say they will not support or be there. do not know if i can ever change that.
