Schoondochter gezocht

I'll update you guys on yet another reality TV program. It's finished now, the last episode was last Wednesday. It's called "schoondochter gezocht" which means as much as 'the search for a daughter-in-law' and I guess the title kind of gives it away. It was about four sets of parents looking for a partner for their son, who was and is still living at home. Personally I would never let my parents look for a fit partner for me, let alone let them do so on television, but hey, who am I anyway!?

One of those families did everything together, and I do mean everything, their thirty something old son found himself a match amongst the girls and the parents liked her too, and already imagined her living with them. However the girl kind of liked some freedom and some air to breathe and was kind of put off by the complexity of the family. The mother of the man then stated that it was not done to do stuff without them... so, well, I guess there is not a chance in hell it'll turn out ok.

How sick is it anyway to expect the partner of your kid to move in with you and actually enjoy all the stuff you do, why not brainwash her!? It's a free world, good thing our ancestors fought for a democracy and for women's rights and for freedom of speech and mind... why try to move forward if going back is an option too...
