For one of the first times in a very long time, I found that this morning I had a few hours completely to myself as I didn't have to be at work until this afternoon and no one but me was in the house, so I made myself a pot of tea, rolled one up and sat in my backyard enjoying the sunshine and just thinking. (When you are by yourself you start to do that). I started wondering about the relationships between parents and children, whether they be youngies or grown children and subconsciously how much of an effect the parents have on who the child grows up to be and who they pick to be their mate.
There is one school of thought that says boys marry their mothers, girls marry their fathers, which has some merit I beleive, as I have seen that firsthand, but there is another school of thought that thinks that is not the case, that children become who they are through society's expectations and their outside environment. This also has merit as some people I know who are married, ended up marrying their parent's complete opposite. What do others think about this?
I just thought that maybe this would be an interesting debate, that is educated, thought provoking and interesting. Perhaps not, but I've seen an awful lot of posts in here that shouldn't have even been started, so I figured what the heck, I'd post something I found worthwhile to discuss. Have a wonderful day everyone.
