Annie's Mailbox®, June 5
by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: My husband and I have three children. Our eldest, "Bret," decided to finish his last year of college closer to home and will graduate in December.
The problem is, I am unhappy with him living with us and want him to find his own place. He works and goes to school, but the upstairs bedroom he occupies is dirty and disorganized.

It is NOT okay to have a "full-blown ceremony with all the trimmings" and an ambiguously-worded invitation. It is lying.

There are all sorts of circumstances for unusual wedding ceremonies and while it's hard to approve of all of them, you can't know exactly why some chose to do things the way they did. And there would be very few weddings if the couples lived up to your standards. And thats just not today but for generations, it just wasn't talked about much. Keep your heart open, say a prayer for the couple and the child. They'll need it.

Whenever i hear or read about parents complaining their children are slobs i almost cry. I lost my son in a car accident and i would give anythign to pick up dirty sneakers or wet towels. it seems that the things that annoy us the most are what we will miss the most when you no longer have them. To parents complaining about kids sloppiness, think of me, everytime you pick up dirty clothers or the house is messy or their frinends are too loud think of me, i would do anything to "suffer" like that instaed of the way i am now.

I have never written to a newspaper columnist but when I read you article today " Mother of the Bride" I couldn't help myself. I realize its their money but this girl has eloped. She is already married and by the time the wedding takes place she will have a child.
This is not a wedding they are having. They are already married. Why bother? Take the money and invest it in a college fund for the kid or buy a house.
This is just my opinion which I know you could care less but a wedding is for two people, in love, who practiced some form of self-control and had sense enough to weight until they were married to become pregnant.
