From Scratch

From Scratch

I’m your mother and I have your best interests at heart.
I’m telling you it’s not going to work out.
It’s not easy starting from scratch together.
You can’t just live in a tiny apartment until he finds a job.

I went through the same thing with your father.
We got a washing machine three years into our marriage.
We didn’t have everything ready.
We saved up to buy what was missing.
But I’m not gonna let you do the same thing.

You just don’t get it.
It’s going to be harder on you than him.
This is not going to happen.
You’ve got to be wise about who you’re marrying,
Because divorce is not an option for us.
