Scenario
As a musician/singer, I’ve had plenty of boyfriends my parents did not approve of. When I was younger, it made me like them even more! As I’ve gotten older, my values, beliefs, and attitudes have changed and so has my taste in men. Unfortunately, they still do not meet my mother’s approval. lol
