DEAR ABBY: "Disapproving Mother" said that her daughter's behavior reflected a lack of morals in young people and her daughter doesn't respect or care what she thinks. I disagree!
The daughter and her fiance obviously care very much what her parents think if the fiance went so far as to ask the parents for the daughter's hand in marriage.
I say the daughter would be better off without a whining and controlling mother passing judgment on her, especially on her wedding day. The only thing that really matters is that the bride and groom are very much in love. If the mother is too wrapped up in her moral code of behavior to care if her daughter is happy, then she has forfeited her rights as a mother. -- UNDER 40 IN GAINESVILLE, FLA.
