What’s Wrong With Young Women?

For as long as I can remember there’s been a perpetual joke about mother- in-laws and daughter-in-laws. Not exactly sure what all that is about but I have been hearing horror story after horror story of young women basically going mad and wreaking havoc in their homes and families and in extended families. Of course those are the worst, but even the mild ones are bad as well, cutting the men off from their families.

I’m also hearing little girls being mean to their parents, and their siblings. Brothers in particular and mean to grandparents, and the parents are allowing it! This explains the bad, grown daughters and daughter-in-laws.

A child cannot control themselves. They must be taught through love and disciple. A child acting out won’t tell you they want someone to control them, but they really do want someone, preferably a parent to “jerk a knot in their tail” and say “enough is enough”. This gives the child boundaries and permission to contain their out of control emotions. This is what they are longing for and through their acting out, they are crying for help but no one is listening, so the abuse gets worse. The hurt grows larger and the wedges grow vastly wider and deeper. No one likes the child and the child does not like herself. She dominates every one around her.

Now she’s a young woman and some poor young man falls for her beauty and thinks he can survive the personality. She berates, belittles, criticizes, complains, manipulates, cries and pitches fits. He try’s to console and help more, but to no avail. And then the kids come. She can’t handle it. Her moods are worse than ever. The joy, if there ever was any, is gone. She knows nothing of peace and joy because all she knows is a self serving life where everyone does what she wants, but this new tiny life won’t comply. And the breakdown is coming. She’s finally realized she can’t control this one.

Parents, love your daughter enough to keep her in control. Love her enough to teach her to serve others and not herself. A wife and mother cannot be successful serving self. Teach her to control her emotions when she feels out of control. Never let her abuse you, your spouse or her siblings or grandparents. Why? Because one day, when everyone is gone, she will hate herself.

Everyone has a place and a young, selfish brat of a little girl grows into a Jezebel, directed by the enemy of her soul, whom she has no control over. She may think she’s super-woman, but in reality she is a “silly woman carried away by divers lusts, to the shame of all those who loved her”, 2 Tim 3:6. Don’t let it happen. Help your daughter to love and be loved.
