My son is working abroad. With the salary he earns from his job, he has a very comfortable life. Many times my family tried to introduce him to a woman so he could settle down soon, but he refused. He wants to find out for himself, not to the point of having to ask someone to introduce him.
While my son is quite calm, my husband and I are worried about his family. Because my son is almost 30 years old, has a stable job and personal finances, we should consider marriage and children so as not to have to suffer the situation of "old father, young son".
Last year, my children revealed that I was dating a girl born in 1997. We didn't discuss their age, but the geographical distance between our two families was quite far, and I was really not satisfied.
I was angry because of my son's foolish actions (Illustration: KR).
I asked him many times but he denied it and said he was just talking and had not thought about it further. During the last Tet holiday, he returned home to reunite with his family and brought his girlfriend home to meet his family.
From the first contact, I had nothing to criticize about my future daughter-in-law. She was beautiful, young and well-behaved. However, the fact that our families were 300km apart made me think.
I don't want to object because marriage is about the child's life. The distance should not be a barrier to prevent the love between two people. Therefore, my husband and I think, let the children find out, if they are destined, they will build their own lives.
On the occasion of Tet, the bride's family invited my husband and I to dinner. I was worried about motion sickness but still tried. The other family welcomed me warmly, had a good background and good family traditions, so I was quite satisfied.
Previously, I rarely talked to my son about money, even though I knew he had a high income working abroad. However, in a conversation with his girlfriend's family, I learned that many of the furniture in the house were purchased with money sent back by my son. The girlfriend's family said that after building the house, my son said that items such as tables, chairs, cabinets, etc. were housewarming gifts.
I don't want to interfere with my son's money, but buying furniture for his future wife's house is a bit too much. My son even sent money to his girlfriend to buy a house worth more than 3 billion VND.
According to him, that was all the capital he had saved up for a long time. Because he was planning to get married in the near future, he entrusted his girlfriend with the finances to find a house, negotiate contracts, and buy and sell. My son even put his girlfriend's name on the papers because he thought he would get married sooner or later.
I was so angry with my son that I could only wait until I got home to ask him about it. Buying household appliances was one thing, but buying a house was a lifelong event. My son was probably blinded by love and gave his girlfriend money to hold and buy real estate.
Meanwhile, there are countless couples who, despite having registered their marriage, still have to cancel it. My son and his girlfriend have only been dating for nearly a year, and as adults, they have not yet talked about marriage...
I asked many questions and gave my son warnings but he did not listen, insisting that he had researched his girlfriend very carefully, there was no betrayal or cheating. With life experience, my husband and I realized that money can easily change people.
My son thinks that if he loses that money, he will earn it back and trusts his girlfriend to let her decide for herself. I wonder why he didn't ask his parents. My son argues that the house belongs to the two of them and they will live together in the future, so they should decide for themselves.
After my son's words, I didn't know what to say. All my relatives said that my son was talented but was "led by the nose" by his girlfriend and was too trusting. I was worried that when my son returned, if everything fell apart, the house would belong to his girlfriend and all the hard work would be in vain.
