What do you really think about your child/children's choice of partner?

I love 'em all. My sons in law are great guys, my daughter in law is a treasure and my youngest son's girlfriend is also excellent daughter in law material. grin

What a coincidence that both your daughters married dentists! What's the story behind that, were they students at the same college hospital type thing?

Nothing wrong with my daughters husbands.
Both are dentists.

One son is divorced but we have a good relationship with XDIL despite her being away at sea at present. She trusts us to bring up the children. Wish they hadn't split up though. Stupid pair!

Eldest son has had a few very odd girlfriends over the past few years but is now engaged to a lovely girl. {phew} getting married next year, we like her.

They are like the daughters I never had. I am very fond of them. They are good for my sons and are excellent mothers. They always welcome me to their homes.

Couldn't be better .He comes from a "rubbish" family (his words not ours) and has a very mundane job whereas she has 2 degrees but they work together so well .He is so laid-back and calms her when she gets neurotic (which she does on a daily basis)and his job means he has loads of time to spend with the children. Although he was brought up in a children's home himself,he is an excellent "daddy".As his first marriage to a much older woman failed,I was initially very concerned but they have been together for 7 years now and he fits into the extended family very well.

All a bit of a surprise really - 3 intellectually-minded girls picked 3 artisans - I tease them about their "bit of rough"!! But they are all 3 of them lovely!

I've been musing about this for a while and just wondered what others think? Are they boring, kind, loud, thoughtful? Were they a surprise choice or just what you would have expected?
