Our class is creating a wedding and I was chosen to be the controlling or disapproving mother. I was tasked to write a letter to my son or daughter expressing my disapproval.

Dear Timothy

My idea of the perfect daughter-in-law is not even close to Michelle. You know how I feel about her, but I felt I had to get this out as a last ditch effort to save you from doing something you WILL regret. I want to tell you the qualities I wish she had and the ones that I think are not good for you. First I think she should be more like me. Michelle is heartless and doesn’t care about you the way I do. She should be catering to your ever whim. I really wish you would have stayed with that nice girl you used to go out with. I called her the other day and asked her how she was doing. She also said she wasn’t busy today so I invited her to the weeding. She is single and still likes you. The next things that she doesn’t do are laundry, or clean the house. To be the best fit for my sweetie she has to do these things, she is a wife these are part of her duties. She is nothing like your former girlfriend who was a fabulous cook and hostess. We aren't party people, so having her around was always a blast, and being invited for dinner was marvelous. I really hope you come to your senses and go back with her. What is with all these tattoos Timothy? What is she a biker chick? I don’t want her around to influence you in to ruining your perfect skin. Do you want to have children with her? If you do they will be little devil spawns. I really hate how we don’t talk she walks in the room without saying hello. Then plops on the couch shoes and all with no manners. She fats and burps, this is not wife material.  It breaks my heart that you have fallen in love with this psycho. I really wish you would take a step back and see her for who she really is. I am really sorry that I had to be the one to tell you this, but always know that I am here for you. Also no matter what happens Mommy always loves you.

I love you,

Mom
