Yall got some serious growing up to do. What would you do if your money making husband became seriously ill, and you exhausted all of your savings, etc. WOULD YOU TAKE CARE OF HIM -- AFTER YOUR VOWS OF FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE. I say this because I've been there. And while there is nothing my family would not do to help me and us, I prefer to be as independent as I can.

Are you all grown-up college-educated black women talking in the year 2001 about being spoiled and depending on your loved ones to continue to spoil you? Don't forget we have a new administration and no telling what that may bring?

Again I ask is this a joke? Cause I'm not getting it.
I'm trying to figure out why I have some serious growing up to do. BEING A PRINCESS DOES NOT MEAN GETTING TAKEN CARE OF FINANCIALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can do that myself. My parents died when I was 19, 7 years ago, the umbilical cord has long been cut, and I probably "seriously" grew up a good while ago. I want someone who will cater to my needs, just like I will cater to his. I have no intention of living off of a man, I'm not that trusting. I'm trying to figure out what is making people think that by saying we are princesses that means we want someone to take care of us. And then to say we have some serious growing up to do, only to turn around and say that you are a spoiled middle child. What makes your being spoiled any different from us having been spoiled or wanting to be spoiled? I SPOIL MYSELF! Why? So that the next brother that steps to me can take notes. I want to come home from work and my man has drawn my bath. That's free by the way. I like to have my feet rubbed. OOH!! That's free too!! I love full body massages. Wow, that's free as well. I like to have my hair played with. I think you get the picture. As far as your question about marriage, why would we take our vows any less seriously than the next person? Give me a break.
