Old maidle – I have experienced both sides of this nisayon. I got married when I was almost 26. So I know how it feels to be the (slightly)older kallah. I have 28 year old and 26 year old daughters, both wonderful, beautiful and aidel girls, who just have unfortunately not met the right guys yet. Add to that that my oldest son and youngest daughter ARE both married and each has a child. As a parent, I cannot begin to tell you what a bitter anguish that is, to know that my older daughters are not fulfilling their dreams of marriage and motherhood,while at the same time, experiencing the joy from my other chidlren. Please do NOT discount what parents feel. Though your pain is real, we are experiencing our pain AND your pain. There is no pain greater for a truly loving parent than to watch his or her child suffer and be unable to help that child. Believe that, if you believe nothing else.
